and behaviour of individual „screens“. Controlling them can take place only manually by the aid of push buttons situated beside the display unit. The upper push button serves to toggle between the measured values („the screens“): The lower push button serves to toggle between the currently measured values and the Min/Max values: The device can also be set up to toggle the „screens“...
Menu Options The menu can be entered by pressing a combination of both keys. In any case, using the keypad must be enabled in the device configuration. Individual menu items, too, may be disabled in the device setup. It is e. g. possible to switch on the device in this way, but it is not possible to switch it off.
The datalogger’s input channels are invariably assigned to these values. The user cannot change the type and range of the values to be measured. U0110 One-channel thermometer This model is equipped with only one internal temperature sensor, no additional probes and sensors can be connected.
U0122 Two-channel thermometer with external probe This model allows to measure the temperature of the internal sensor and one external probe series Pt1000/E. The response to a temperature jump depends on the connected probe design but is usually much faster than the response of the internal sensor.
U3121 Thermometer – hygrometer for external probe This model measures temperature, relative humidity and dew point temperature using an outdoor Comet Digi/E series probe. Its response to the temperature or relative humidity jump is significantly faster than by models with internal sensor. This model is often utilized to monitor areas in which only the probe is installed, whereas the main unit is installed elsewhere.
U3631 Compact thermometer – hygrometer with optional external temperature probe This model is designed to measure temperature, relative humidity and dew-point temperature by internal sensor, moreover one additional external temperature probe Pt1000/E can be connected. Internal sensors are located under the grid on the front of the unit and are protected with Teflon foil.
U4130 Compact thermometer - hygrometer - pressure gauge This model is designed to measure temperature, relative humidity, dew-point temperature barometric pressure by internal sensors. Barometric pressure can be measured as absolute or recalculated to sea level. additional probes or sensors can be connected. It is characterized by a simple and compact design and a relatively long response in the measured quantities, compare to model with external probes.
By default, this is 2 minutes with the option of extending up to 10 minutes (option available in the COMET Vision software). We recommend that calibration of this device in the laboratory be carried out with sufficient air flow (at least 1 m/s), but the reading should be carried out only after a thorough settling, which may take up to 4 hours.
U0541 Two-channel thermometer for external probes with 2 inputs 0 - 10 V This model can measure up to two temperature values, which are sensed by outdoor Pt1000/0 series probes. In addition, it has two voltage inputs for monitoring voltage signal changes.
U5841 Datalogger with 3 inputs 0 - 10 V and 1 binary input This model is used to measure up to three voltage inputs 0 – 10 V DC while allowing one binary input to be monitored. The voltage inputs are not galvanically separated from one another.
U6841 Datalogger with 3 inputs 0 - 20 mA and 1 binary input This model is used to measure up to three signals from current loops (0 to 20) mA DC while allowing one binary input to be monitored. The current inputs are passive and are not galvanically separated from one another.
U7844 Two-channel binary-input counter This model includes four inputs. Two of them can function as counters, and all four inputs can function as binary inputs. Both counter and binary inputs serve to monitor voltage signals or signals coming from a voltage-free contact.

Positioning of humidity sensors: The positioning of humidity sensors depends again on the application requirements. Humidity measurements in refrigerators without additional humidity stabilization can be very questionable. When the cooling is switched on/off, there may be significant changes in humidity in the range of tens of percent, even if the mean value is correct.
