REMOTE CONTROL TOUCH | USER MANUAL/ page 28 of 83 Figure 5.15: Resetting DigitalOut #2 to 0 Since Analog #1 only measures the internal voltage, the event occurs as soon as the logger starts up and the voltage rises above 10 V (Al1 > 10). The triggers are only processed after a certain boot time of the logger, so that the signal at KL 15 is enough to wake up the Remote Control Touch before it is set to 0 again via the trigger, so that the devices are not kept perma- nently awake.
