Preface About this User's Guide What you will learn from this user's guide This user's guide describes the Measurement Computing USB-5106 data acquisition device and lists device specifications. Conventions in this user's guide For more information Text presented in a box signifies additional information related to the subject matter. -
Page 5: Introducing The Usb-5106
Chapter 1 Introducing the USB-5106 The USB-5106 is a 4-channel 16-bit analog data logger that can record up to 1.9 million measurements or events. Each channel can accept a DC voltage sensor, AC voltage sensor, or temperature sensor (available separately). -
Page 6: Installing The Usb-5106
Installing the hardware Install the software before you install your device The driver needed to run the USB-5106 device is installed when you install the software. Therefore, you need to install the USB-5100 Series Data Logger Software before you install the hardware. -
Page 7: Chapter 3 Functional Details
14 for information about the logger batteries. USB port Use this port to connect the logger to the computer with the mini-USB cable; see Setting up the USB-5106 on page 9, and Reading out the logger on page 13 for more information. -
Page 8: External Sensor Inputs
USB-5106 User's Guide Functional Details External sensor inputs Use these 2.5 mm jacks to connect up to four sensors; see Connecting external sensors on page 11 for more information about which sensors are supported. LCD Screen The logger LCD screen displays details about the current status. Figure 2 shows all of the symbols that display on the LCD screen. -
Page 9: Setting Up The Usb-5106
If a sensor is disconnected during logging, erroneous values will display on the LCD for that sensor, and return to normal readings once reconnected. Refer to Connecting external sensors on page 11 for more details. Setting up the USB-5106 All hardware configuration options on the logger are programmable with USB-5100 Series Data Logger Software. -
Page 10: Alarm Modes
USB-5106 User's Guide Functional Details When the plot is configured for events, a New Interval event appears each time the logger enters or exits burst logging mode. Burst mode does not support alarm settings. Statistics Set the logging mode to Statistics to calculate the maximum, minimum, average, and standard deviation statistics for all enabled sensors (except battery voltage) during logging. -
Page 11: Connecting External Sensors
USB-5106 User's Guide Functional Details Connecting external sensors The USB-5106 logger can accept up to four external sensors (refer to www.mccdaq.com/usb-data- acquisition/USB-5106.aspx for a list of supported sensors). Plug each sensor into one of the four input jacks, making sure each sensor is firmly seated in the appropriate numbered jack based on how you configured that corresponding channel with the software. - Page 12 USB-5106 User's Guide Functional Details 4-20 mA input cable The 4-20 mA input cable (CABLE-4-20mA) measures current from 0 to 20.1 mA. Do not expose to current above 20 mA or to negative current. Do not cut off the end of the gray cable where it connects to the blue and yellow wires as it contains the precision resistor required for current measurement.

Figure 7. Voltage input adapter cable diagram Reading out the logger To read out data logged by the USB-5106, connect it to the computer with the USB cable and read out it with USB-5100 Series Data Logger Software. Refer to the USB-5100 Series Software Help for detailed information about how to read out logged data. -
Page 14: Mounting The Logger
Protecting the logger The USB-5106 is designed for indoor use and can be permanently damaged by corrosion if it gets wet. Protect it from condensation. If the message appears on the LCD screen, a failure occurred with the internal FAIL CLK logger clock, possibly due to condensation. - Page 15 USB-5106 User's Guide Functional Details Figure 8. Logger rear Caution! Do not cut open, incinerate, heat above 85 °C (185 °F), or recharge the batteries. The battery may explode if the logger is exposed to extreme heat or conditions that could damage or destroy the battery case.
