  • Page 12 There are two thresholds for the battery voltage: • The first is used to indicate low battery. The low battery indicator (Red 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.
  • Page 13: Operation

    CHAPTER 3 OPERATION LED Control Operation and Status Indication The ON/SLEEP state of the SLII can be determined by pressing the CONTROL 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 the SLEEP mode, all the status LEDs will light until the CONTROL button is released.
  • Page 14 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 AMBER LED CONTROL Stops a Recording Logger is not in an Overload condition STATUS Single-blink One or more inputs are in an Overload condition...

The pairing procedure varies depending on your operating system, Bluetooth equipment and driver software. NOTE: The information in the following sections are only necessary the first time an instrument is connected, or when the Bluetooth USB adapter has been removed then reconnected.
  • Page 17: Turning Bluetooth On/Off

    Turning Bluetooth ON/OFF By default, Bluetooth is enabled. To conserve battery power, Bluetooth can be turned OFF. To turn Bluetooth OFF, press and hold the Control button until the Blue LED turns on solid, then release the button. Repeat this step to turn Blue- tooth back ON.

    3.4.2 Stopping a Recording Session 1. Press and hold the CONTROL button. When the STOP (AMBER) 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 19: 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 Control Button: 1. Press and hold the CONTROL button. When the ERASE (RED) LED lights up, release the button.
  • Page 20: 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 21: Recording With Memory Cleared

    3.9.1 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 CONTROL button is pushed until the STOP (AMBER) LED lights up and is released before the next LED lights.
  • Page 22: Battery Power Insufficient For A Full Recording

    • A new recording can be started or scheduled once memory is erased. 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.
  • Page 23: 3.10 Reset Switch Operation

    3.10 Reset Switch Operation CAUTION: Risk of electric shock. Disconnect the unit from any input source before opening the battery cover. Resetting the instrument takes about 10 seconds, at which time the instru- ment will be non responsive. The RESET button resets the CPU and is located under the battery cover. To access it, remove the battery compartment cover.
