Set up the HMT140
Once the HMT140 Utility software is successfully installed,
you can set up your data monitoring device.
To set up the HMT140 for the first time:
1
Ensure the HMT140 configuration Cable is not
connected to the PC.
2
Open the HMT140 case. Use your thumb to press and
hold the release tab located between the two glands (see
Figure 9 on page 19), then pull the cover out and up with
your other hand. Pry the case open with a slot
screwdriver if you are unable to open the case by hand.

Ensure the power switch on the device is in the OFF
position.
4
Install three lithium batteries (use only Vaisala 3.6V
Lithium Thionyl Chloride batteries, part#: 236318SP).
5
Ensure that the HMT140 Configuration Cable is not
connected to the HMT140.

Turn the power switch on the device to the ON position,
and wait for the setup process to complete (about five
seconds). LED light turns on, then off.
Configure the HMT140 to your Network
After you install the HMT140 Utility software and set up the
HMT140, use the HMT140 Configuration Cable to connect
and configure the HMT140 to your network.
Important:
Do not connect the Configuration Cable to the
HMT140 configuration port unless the Configu-
ration Cable is connected to a computer USB
port, the batteries are installed, and the power
switch is in the ON position.
The following steps provide you with standard network
settings. You can also set specific settings depending on your
network configuration. See “Custom Settings” on page 28.

tings:
1
Ensure the case is open and the correct batteries are
installed (Vaisala part#: 236318S).
