Operating the MLOG Controller
The following sections describe the physical operation of the MLOG Controller.
Power management
The MLOG Controller features a rechargeable battery. The Controller's rechargeable battery
has no memory effect and can be recharged at any time. On a full charge, the Controller
operates for approximately 5 days. The Controller only transmits a radio wake-up signal
while the rechargeable battery has a charge. Plug the MLOG Controller into a USB data
port for approximately 6 hours to recharge.
When the rechargeable battery is discharged:
•
The MLOG Controller radio turns "OFF" regardless of settings.
•
The time and current settings are maintained (for approximately 2 years).
•
The LCD display is switched off.
•
The USB interface remains active.
•
The data memory is maintained.
If the MLOG Controller's rechargeable battery completely discharges, the data stored in the
Controller's memory can be accessed by connecting the Controller USB data cable to a PC.
The display activates, data is available, and the Controller recharges while the MLOG
Controller is connected to the PC.
Caution Do not repeatedly drain the MLOG Controller's rechargeable battery. Repeated deep
discharge will reduce MLOG Controller battery life and recharging functionality. A discharged
battery does not affect data stored in the Controller's memory.
