_____________________________________________________________________ Chapter 1 Product Outline The 3639-20 PULSE LOGGER counts and records the pulses of pulse signals (mechanical contact inputs of switches, relays, etc., or voltage inputs from 1.5 V to 45 V) at a specified interval. It can be used for a wide variety of devices that deliver pulse signals, such as rain gauges, flow meters, and the like.
_____________________________________________________________________ 1.1 Name and Functions of Parts 1. LCD Displays measurement value and settings. 2. Optical data transfer Enables optical data transfer to 3911-20. ports 3. INTERVAL button Calls up interval setting display to set interval. Make the ON/OFF setting of the Power Save function.
Interval and maximum recording time are as follows. Maximum recording time is limited by battery charge condition. The number of data that can be recorded on one single product of 3639-20 PULSE LOGGER is 32,000. INTVL Maximum Recording Time 8 h 53 min 20 s...
_____________________________________________________________________ 1.3 Battery Life The service life of the batteries used in the 3639-20 varies depending on the recording interval, power save function setting, measurement-value display during recording, temperature and humidity, and the like. The table below gives the approximate battery service lives with an average pulse count of 5 or less per second, and at 23 5 .
_____________________________________________________________________ Chapter 2 Set Up 2.1 Replacing the Battery To avoid electric shock when replacing the batteries, first disconnect the connection cable from the object to WARNING be measured. During battery replacement, use caution not to put any foreign materials such as a metal object into the product to avoid damage to the product.

_____________________________________________________________________ Display of remaining battery power The indicator of the remaining battery power disappears successively from the right as the remaining power expires. Indicates the time remaining until battery replacement Recording cannot be started. If the indicator looks like this during measurement, the measurement will be interrupted.
_____________________________________________________________________ 2.2 Power Save Function If no recording session is under way, the screen display is automatically turned off approximately 15 seconds after the last key entry (Sleep). However, the recording-interval setup screen will not enter the Sleep state, even in the absence of key operation.
_____________________________________________________________________ 2.3 Setting Current Time When replacing 3639-20 PULSE LOGGER batteries or using 3639-20 stand-alone (with manual operation) for the first time, connect with 3911-20 and set current time. See how to set current time in 3911-20 COMMUNICATION BASE instruction manual.
To input a voltage to the 3639-20, connect the red conductor to the positive (+) side of the pulse-generating device, and connect the black conductor to the negative (-) side.

_____________________________________________________________________ Alarm output Measurement value Upper-limit value Time Recording intervals ・As the alarm-signal output terminals form an open-drain output, the signaling side and the GND side are internally short-circuited when signals are output. In other cases, they remain open. When an external power supply is provided, a relay or sequencer can be controlled through the use of alarm signals.
Preparation (1) If the LCD of this unit remains off (Sleep state), briefly press the INTERVAL button or SELECT button of the 3639-20 to display the LCD. When logger LCD shows REC mark or , press REC/STOP button for more than 1 second to stop recording.
