Lithium batteries are hazardous waste. Battery operation EnDaL curve is typically supplied with two exchangeable alkaline or lithium batteries (type C|R14). They can be bought in specialized stores according to the specification stated in the instruction manual.
Because of its versatility of power supply and its degree of protection IP65, EnDaL curve/vi is suitable as an independent long-term transport data logging system. By the use of an external power supply, it is also suitable for stationary applications.

4 . 1 D E V I C E S E T U P The following picture shows a possible configuration of a EnDaL vi. The available inputs and outputs on the EnDaL curve/vi depend on the specific model. Please contact the distribution of SMT ELEKTRONIK GmbH for further information.
The measuring ranges of the internal charge amplifiers are 100, 200, 500, 1000 or 2000 pC for each channel (EnDaL curve). Measuring ranges of 50, 100, 250, 500 or 1000 mV can be set for ICP sensors (EnDaL vi). The transmission factors of each sensor connected to a channel can also be entered in the measuring program so that the stored measured values correspond to the accelerations in g transmitted by the sensors.
An alternative to the indication by means of the integrated LEDs is to signalise the current operating status with an external test connector. This test connector needs to be connected to the EnDaL curve/vi via the RS-232 data cable. The function of this test connector is described in a separate appendix.
"Shackle" and not to "ON", so that the safety shackle can switch off the EnDaL curve. After unscrewing the battery holder (cross recessed head H size 2), the used batteries can be removed. Insert the new batteries, making sure their polarity is correct. Tighten the battery holder with a tightening torque of 75 Ncm.
To avoid unintentional shock absorption and thus the measurement of insufficient acceleration values, you should attach the EnDaL curve/vi as close as possible to the goods or package. Shocks absorbing padding or instable assemblies distort the measurement results!
