Data Logger Recall

Vaisala

Vaisala has issued a product recall for older models of the Veriteq compact lithium battery-powered data loggers (Veriteq was purchased by Vaisala in 2010). The loggers in question were sold as either the Veriteq Spectrum/Model 5 or private labeled by dataTaker as the DT1000-4000 Series. In rare cases, the loggers are subject to overheating when the device is connected to a network via an external serial or USB cable. Although unlikely, the overheating may in some instances cause the battery to breach its casing. The affected product models were sold as the VL1000, SP1000, VL14, SP1400, VL1700, SP1700, VL2000, SP2000, VL4000, and SP4000, and by dataTaker as the DT1000, DT1700, DT2000, and DT4000. To prevent the risk of the battery overheating, disconnect any data logger that is connected to an external network or serial converter. Customers who have Veriteq Spectrum or equivalent dataTaker DT1000-4000 Series data loggers in use may have these units replaced with a current production version.
