  • Page 5: Figure 2: Assembly With Sensor-Interface (9.1756.X0.100)

    Akku Figure 2: Assembly with Sensor-Interface (9.1756.x0.100) The datalogger DLx-MET is a complete measurement system serving for the acquisition and storing of at minimum 10 meteorological parameters (e.g. temperature or radiation). Additionally in the version 9.1756.x0.100 a so-called Sensor-Interface (SIF, see Figure 2) printed circuit board with several measuring channels is connected to the serial interface COM2.

  • Page 6: Figure 4: Block Diagram Supply

    The instrument is battery-operated (12V), thus allowing it to be set up according to model and sensor equipment at site without any mains supply for some hours or even days (applies not for sensors measured by the Sensor-Interface). The exchangeable storage battery is situated in the data logger case.

  • Page 7: Figure 5: Front View

    the voltage is measured every 5 minutes; when it is higher than 11,0 V the normal measuring routine is continued. An integrated lithium battery buffers the contents of the data memory and the clock operation when no other power supply is available. This means that the saved values and the time are not lost even when there is no additional power supply.

  • Page 8: Mounting

    2.1 MOUNTING The datalogger is designed for wall-mounting or installation on a mast. For proper protection against lightning strikes we strongly recommend to connect a preferably short cable (≤1m) with a cross section greater than 6mm² between the case (see Figure 1, Grounding Earth) and the mast (if used) with an earth terminal (e.g.

  • Page 9: Wall-Mounting

    2.1.1 Wall-mounting For mounting on a wall or likewise use the 4 mounting holes: • diameter 10mm, see • (applies for 9.1756.00.x0x) • diameter 8.4mm, see Figure 7 (applies for 9.1756.10.x0x) Figure 6: Dimension illustration of the case version B (in mm) 9 - 56 021579/06/09...

    2.1.2 Mast-installation for case version B The following instructions are only valid for case version B (9.1756.00.x0x). Cut two piece in the requested length of the guy rope (1 meter) according to table (see Table 1). Insert the strap into the housing from the screw head side, and bend a projection of 20mm over the ridge (see Figure 8).

  • Page 12: Cable Gland

    2.1.3 Cable gland In order to carry out an EMC-compatible installation the cable screen (excepted the supply cable, which is normally not shielded) is to be connected to the contact spring of the screwed cable gland (see Figure 10) For wiring plan ref. to chap. 7. Figure 10-1 1.

  • Page 13: Accumulator

    2.1.4 Accumulator The accumulator or battery is to be connected always. It is absolutely necessary to pay attention to the specified polarity (red -> + ,black -> -)! Remark: When changing the accumulator, or with active power- or solar-supply please take care that the red cable is not in contact with the housing parts (danger of short-cut) During the installation please take care that all connections are voltage-free, and that people and/or instruments are not endangered!

  • Page 14: Solar Panel

    Additionally a red LED lights up between clamp 67 and 68 for control the 24VAC supply (normally used for heating of sensors). In case of malfunction check the fuses 230VAC and 24VAC. Remark for 9.1756.x0.001: The 26Vac output has no fuse, but a 135°C thermal trip switch which breaks the primary supply.

    2.1.10 Setting Resistors Serial Interfaces There are three multi-pin connectors for the serial interfaces when used in RS485 mode. To get the lowest current consumption and no negative impacts when COM1(P5) or COM2(P4) are in the RS232 mode all respective jumpers must be open. COM1 and COM2 are adjustable by firmware between RS232 and RS485 (ref.

    3 OPERATION When the accumulator is connected, the datalogger starts automatically with the so-called Bootloader (uploads new Firmware), and re-initialises itself. The Bootloader waits 30 seconds and start the actual Firmware automatically. After the first activation, time and date should be controlled.
