SECTION 1 INTRODUCTION The SM DUE microprocessor-based datalogger uses the novel approach of a paperless logging and filing system, which allows the data of any day in its history to be read and examined with a few key presses. The large graphics LCD display communicates the information to the user with clarity, making programming and setting up friendly and uncomplicated, without compromising its sophistication and digital accuracy.
SECTION 2 INSTALLATION Note: This installation procedure is for guidance only, and its suitability should be verified by the installer. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Before attempting to install and operate the unit, read this instruction manual carefully. Installation and any maintenance required should only be carried out by suitably qualified personnel.
Position the moulding and slot in the lug over the screw. 2.2.3 Level the SM DUE moulding and, if using rear entry, mark the entry holes in the panel behind the appropriate knock-out entries, as well as the two lower mounting holes.
ALARM RELAY NOTE: The alarm relay is a 3 contact changeover arrangement that is isolated (volt-free). This relay is normally energised, and switches off when the alarm is triggered, or in the case of power failure. It may be used to trigger an external bell, warning lamp, or digital communicator (telephone dialler).
SECTION 3 SM DUE OPERATION In order to fully understand the operation of the SM DUE, this section should be read carefully. 3.1 DESCRIPTION MIN -6.0 MAX -5.5 °C SM DUE GRAPHICS LCD DISPLAY Displays all the information. The contrast is adjustable to suit the user.

SET KEYS keys are used to set the value of any selected parameter, by increasing and decreasing the value respectively. In most of the functions, described later in the manual, the keys have an auto-repeat facility: press and hold the key in order to advance quickly. Note: The keys are the only keys which can alter the value of a selected parameter.
MAIN SCREENS 3.2.1 MAIN SCREEN 1: CHANNEL TEMPERATURE DISPLAY SM DUE MAIN SCREEN function selector. Two channel digital temperature display, viewed in either °C or °F. High and Low Alarm Limits for each channel plus date of last alarm. Maximum and minimum daily temperatures for each channel.
Alarm Log: Alarm indication to reveal the incidence of an alarm, the time it occurred and its duration. Unique electronic serial number of SM DUE. ‘Other Channel’ Range: Display of max. and min. temperatures recorded. This area of the display shows any occurrence of a cold room door opening.

If any key is pressed during an Alarm situation for this channel, the buzzer will be muted (silenced) for this period.
SYSTEM DIAGNOSTICS 3.4.1 DATABANK DIAGNOSTICS SCREEN SM DUE This is the unique electronic signature of the SM DUE. The DATABANK window shows the capacity of the internal databank. There are two SM DUE options available: (a) Recording frequency 5 minutes – Databank capacity 570 days (approx.
The CALIB DATA window shows calibration values, for factory use only, and the current temperature reading. The LAST CALIB window shows the date when the SM DUE was calibrated, (in this case 5 JAN 99). The AL. HIGH window shows the date when the last high alarm condition occurred for this channel.
3.4.3 CALIBRATION TRIMMING SCREEN Calibration trimming allows qualified personnel to adjust the SM DUE’s calibration by ± 2°C. Note: A known reference temperature should be used. CALIBRATION PLEASE REFER TO MANUAL SM DUE To enter the CALIBRATION TRIMMING Screen, press and hold the for 5 seconds.
MIN -6.0 MAX -5.5 °C DOOR OPEN SM DUE CHANNEL 1 function selector: displays the information for channel 1. CHANNEL 2 function selector: displays the information for channel 2. Clock display: 24-hour format with day of week abbreviation. Temperature bargraph: High and low alarm limits are shown as shaded areas.
3.5.2 CHANNEL SET SCREENS SM DUE Channel 1 function selector Channel 2 function selector Pressing either of these keys a second time will display the “Channel Set Screen” for the appropriate channel. Bargraph Display Scale By pressing the key, the bargraph display scale may be adjusted to show the temperature range best suited to the particular installation.
PLOT HISTORY 3.6.1 DATA LOG OF PREVIOUS DAYS SM DUE Plot History function selector When this key is pressed, the directory of the contents of the internal databank is displayed, as above. The highlighted months on this screen are the months for which the databank contains data.
DATA TRANSFER The SM DUE is supplied with an internal reusable 1 ½ year databank. The contents of this databank may be transferred directly to the PC using the MASTERLINK Software or, alternatively, the MASTERLINK Hardware may be used as an intermediate storage device to transfer data to a PC at a remote location.
