  • Page 27: Operation

    CHAPTER 4 OPERATION LED Control Operation and Status Function The ON/SLEEP state of the SLII can be determined by pressing the PRESS button for less than 0.5 seconds. If the instrument is ON, the status of the instrument will be shown by the LEDs. If the instrument is in SLEEP mode, all the status LEDs will light until the PRESS button is released.
  • Page 28 The Control and Status Operation of each LED is as follows: GREEN LED CONTROL Starts a Recording Single-blink Logger is in Standby Mode (and not recording) STATUS Double-blink Logger is in Record Mode ORANGE LED CONTROL Stops a Recording Logger is not in an Overload condition STATUS Single-blink One or more inputs are in an Overload condition...

  • Page 29: Connecting The Simple Logger ® Ii To A Computer

    Overload occurs when any input is 10% above its input range. When the battery voltage goes below 1.7 volt the instrument will shut down (termi- nating and saving the recording, if it is recording). • SLEEP mode: The instrument enters the low power state if the button is not pressed for one minute.

  • Page 30: Recording Data

    There are two thresholds for the battery voltage: • The first is used to indicate low battery. The low battery indicator (Blue LED single blink) will blink when the battery voltage drops below 2.2V. The second is used to determine when to terminate recording and • turn the unit off. The shutdown threshold is when the battery voltage drops below 1.7V.

  • Page 31: Stopping A Recording Session

    4.3.2 Stopping a Recording Session 1. Press and hold the PRESS button. When the STOP (ORANGE) LED lights up, release the button. 2. The GREEN LED will change from a double-blink to a single-blink, indicating STANDBY mode. The data will be retained, even if the instrument is in sleep mode. The recorded data is stored in Flash memory (maintained even in the absence of batteries).

  • Page 32: Erasing Data From Memory

    Erasing Data from Memory Erasing data from the instrument’s memory can only be performed while in the STANDBY mode. There are two ways to erase the memory: Erasing the Memory using the PRESS Button: 1. Press and hold the PRESS button. When the ERASE (RED) LED lights up, release the button.

  • Page 33: Data Storage

    Data Storage The logger captures Trend measurements. The following are definitions of terms used in this section: Input Channel: Source for the measurement channel of the instrument. Measurement Channel: Measurement of input. This can be a simple direct measurement, the result of complex mathematical operations on a single or multiple input, or other channels.

  • Page 34: Recording With Memory Cleared

    4.8.1 Recording with Memory Cleared When a recording starts, the logger will continue to record until one of the following occurs: • The Session is complete. • The Memory is full and the recording mode is Start/Stop or Alarm. • The PRESS button is pushed until the STOP (ORANGE) LED lights up and is released before the next LED lights.

  • Page 35: Batt. Power Insufficient For Full Record Duration

    If in either the XRM or FIFO mode, the recording will continue even after memory becomes full. Memory will be freed to make room for new samples. The method of freeing memory will depend on the recording mode. 4.8.4 Battery Power Insufficient for a Full Recording Duration If the battery voltage drops below 1.7V, the following will occur: •...

  • Page 36: Event Logger Operation (Model L404)

    Event Logger Operation (Model L404) The Model L404 monitors up to four channels for the occurrence of events and stores information about each event. The rate at which each input is tested for the event status is defined by the sample period. Events that are shorter in duration than the period between sampling can potentially be missed.

  • Page 37: Sample Event Capture

    4.9.1 Sample Event Capture Figure 4-1 The above example assumes that the “Invert display polarity (event displayed as a high)” is selected from the scales tab of the configuration (default setting). 4.9.2 Application Examples Rain Gauge: Each time a tipping bucket fills and tips, a contact opens indicating that 0.1 inch of rain has filled the bucket.

  • Page 38: 4.10 Reset Switch Operation

    Sequencing: In a processing plant it has been determined that timing on several positions is out of specification. The service staff needs to know the sequence of valve opening and closing, and the duration of each, to correct the problem. The L404 can be connected to four outputs in the process and keep track of the time and duration of each opening and closing, thus providing the technician with the data they need to solve the sequence issue.

  • Page 39: 4.11 Flash Upgrade Switches

    It is recommended to only press the RESET button when the logger stops responding to a normal press button control when not connected to Data- View . It is not recommended to reset the instrument when the logger is ® recording, downloading or being configured.

    You can access all DataView features through either the DataView icon or the Control Panel icon. For users who interact with a single type of AEMC instrument, we recommend primarily using the Control Panel. However, there are situations where using the core DataView icon may be more convenient for some users, such as when viewing multiple archived reports from different AEMC product families.
