In addition, it has two voltage inputs for monitoring voltage signal changes. Input signals are connected to a connecting block.
Page 23
U5841 Datalogger with 3 inputs 0 - 10 V and 1 binary input This model is used to measure up to three voltage inputs 0 – 10 V DC while allowing one binary input to be monitored. The voltage inputs are not galvanically separated from one another.
Page 24
U6841 Datalogger with 3 inputs 0 - 20 mA and 1 binary input This model is used to measure up to three signals from current loops (0 to 20) mA DC while allowing one binary input to be monitored. The current inputs are passive and are not galvanically separated from one another.
Page 25
U7844 Two-channel binary-input counter This model includes four inputs. Two of them can function as counters, and all four inputs can function as binary inputs. Both counter and binary inputs serve to monitor voltage signals or signals coming from a voltage-free contact. The binary input changes are registered immediately, irrespectively of the recording interval setting.

or a system alarm or an alarm originating from an exceeded memory occupancy limit occur, a red LED diode is flashing. Besides, an alarm may be signalled acoustically by a characteristic sound, which is repeated at regular intervals. If the device is connected to an external power supply, the acoustic signal is more intense than with battery power.
Page 34
Alarm events - Memory occupancy___________________ Use this panel setting, if an overrun of the pre-set limit value of the data memory occupancy needs to be signalled. The signalling mode may be selected optionally as optical (by means of a LED diode) or acoustical.

Application notes Operation with permanently connected USB cable _______ Datalogger is primarily intended to be operated as an autonomous unit powered by its built-in batteries. Nevertheless, you can also operate it with permanently connected USB cable. In this case the device is not protected against dust and water ingress, and, consequently, it cannot be operated in locations in which such ingress protection is required.

USB equipment in the computer. This may be corrected by closing the COMET Vision utility program (including the communication service) and starting it subsequently. Restart the computer, if the above mentioned measure is not the proper remedy. Check whether new HID equipment will appear in Device administrator after the device has been connected to the computer.
Recommendations for operation and maintenance Datalogger operation in several application areas________ Before putting the device into operation, it should be considered, if its usage is suitable for the intended purpose. In connection with this consideration the device‘s optimum settings should be determined. In the case that the device is part of a larger measurement system, instructions for its metrological and operational checks should be developed...

Positioning of humidity sensors: The positioning of humidity sensors depends again on the application requirements. Humidity measurements in refrigerators without additional humidity stabilization can be very questionable. When the cooling is switched on/off, there may be significant changes in humidity in the range of tens of percent, even if the mean value is correct.
Page 40
Refer to the battery symbol + (plus pole) printed on the electronics board at the battery location. If you order a new battery from the manufacturer of the device (COMET SYSTEM, s.r.o., order code A4203), you will also receive it with the clip.
Charging time: Charging time depends on the current battery discharge level. Since the parasitic heat is generated when the internal battery is charging, the charging speed with the power on is deliberately slowed down to prevent excessive influence of measured values. If you want to charge the device as soon as possible, turn it off first.
