Installation
Mounting
Use the magnetic backing to conveniently mount your logger on metal surfaces like ductwork or
electrical control cabinets. If you're concerned about theft, make sure to lock your logger to a
permanent fixture using the special locking tab. Or take advantage of the OWL's small size and hide it
completely out of view. Because OWL Data Loggers are so light, you can use special mounting
methods like Velcro® fasteners to secure them to just about any surface. At any rate, make sure your
logger is securely mounted to last the full length of your data logging session.
Do not rely on the logger's magnetic strip for secure mounting if the mounting surface is uneven,
unstable or above 150°F (65° C).
Keep Track
Be sure to keep a record of where you've placed each logger on a plan of the building or system. That
way you'll save time in looking for them when your data-gathering session is over. Also, keep track of
when you placed the loggers in the area you're monitoring. It will help when producing graphs on your
computer.
Retrieval
After sufficient time has passed for you to obtain a representative profile of data, retrieve the logger
and bring it back immediately to your computer for analysis.
Analysis
To analyze your OWL Data Logger, you must first backup the logger's data onto your computer. To do
this, double click on the com port icon, Backup. The logged data is automatically saved to disk, time
and date-stamped, and converted into the appropriate measurement units.
