1. FEATURES The MOUSE-E-MOTION Universal Data Logger is a battery-powe- red system capable of monitoring the motion of bodies and objects emitting warmth radiation in the infrared range. The collected log data are stored in the internal non-volatile data memory. The log data are permanently retained, unaffected of the power status of the data logger.

3. POWER SUPPLY 3.1 Battery Usage 1.5V x 2 (Mignon / AA / IEC R6 or equivalent, 2000-2400mAh Use rechargeable batteries only. NEVER use normal alkaline batteries! A T T E N T I O N ! NEVER try to charge normal alkaline batteries as there is the risk of explosion! Place the batteries into the compartment in the rear bottom part of the data logger.
4. MODES The MOUSE-E-MOTION Universal Data Logger is operating in two modes, stand-by mode and log- ging mode. In stand-by mode the data logger is ready to respond to the user‘s commands, e.g if one of the buttons on the top is pressed or, if connected to a PC, a command from the MOUSE-E-MOTION software is received.
4.2 Logging Mode During logging, each single motion detection is indicated by a flash of the upright triangle LED: This signal can be turned off with the MOUSE-E-MOTION soft- ware. Additionally an indication for the state of charge of the bat- teries of the data logger can be turned on.
5. Operation Press the blue ON/OFF button to switch the data logger ON and 5.1 Power OFF. Press the green START button. The square LED and the upright 5.2 Starting Data Logging triangle LED will light up and the control LED will light green for 1 second: Data logging will begin after the LEDs have extinguished or, if an initial delay period is specified, when that period has passed.
The data logger has to run in stand-by mode in order to be able 5.4 Log Data Output to initiate the data output. If the data logger runs in logging mode, you have to stop logging by pressing the red STOP button or switching the data logger off and on again with the blue ON/OFF button (see 5.3).
6. USAGE The MOUSE-E-MOTION Univrsal Data Logger is especially desi- gned to be applied with the commonly used type 2 or type 2L mouse cages. Usage of the data logger and the metal mounting unit in combination with this cage type will exclude false detec- tions of movements outside the cage.
6.2 Stand-Alone Usage The MOUSE-E-MOTION Universal Data Logger is capable of monitoring all kinds of motion occurances that can be detected by a passive infrared sensor. In general, all warmblooded orga- nisms (mammals and human beings, birds) and nearly all mate- rial objects having a temperature significantly higher than the surrounding will trigger a detection signal.
6.3 External Motion Sensor The MOUSE-E-MOTION Universal Data Logger can be used with the built-in motion sensor or, alternatively, with an external motion sensor. The external motion sensor has to be plugged in at the 9-pin con- nector at the right side of the data logger : To exclusively use an external motion sensor the built-in motion sensor has to be disabled, so that only data of the external motion sensor will be noticed.
7. CONNECTING TO A PC AND To transfer collected log data to a PC for analysis, connect the TRANSFERRING LOG DATA data logger to an unused serial port of your IBM-compatible PC with the supplied serial communication cable. Start the MOUSE-E-MOTION software or start MS Excel and load the MOUSE-E-MOTION add-in (refer to the MOUSE-E-MOTION software documentation on how to install and use the software).
