, disconnect this from the device before removing the accu or battery pack. The remaining cables and antenna can then be removed. Store the myDatalogEASYmbm and accu or bat- tery pack in the compartments provided in the original packaging.
Chapter 5 Functioning principle 5.1 ALOHA transmission mode ALOHA transmission mode is a special connection mode whereby the myDatalogEASYmbm creates a connection to the myDataweb server for a period of time configured using the "Basic settings" con- figuration section (see "Aloha/wake-up duration" in chapter "Basic settings" on page 81).
98) and the modbus connection cable (see "Modbus connection cable" on page 98) are not part of the standard scope of delivery and must be ordered separately. . The standard scope of delivery of the myDatalogEASYmbm (206.248) includes: myDatalogEASYmbm myDatanet Tool Pen (206.646) 10-pole connector plug MDN Magnet (206.803)
Note: The table above only includes the storage conditions for the two energy sources used most frequently for the myDatalogEASYmbm . Please consult the appropriate factsheet for information about the storage conditions of other accu or battery packs. Important note: Remove the accu or battery pack from the myDatalogEASYmbm prior to stor- age.
7.1 Dimensions Dimensions: Width and height Dimensions: Depth 7.2 Installing the myDatalogEASYmbm Important note: Ensure the installation is completed properly. Comply with the existing legal and/or operational directives. Improper handling can cause injuries and/or damage to the devices.
206.640) 1. First attach the assembly loop (3) using the screws (2) included in the "Universal bracket for housing myDatanet 86x126 (206.640)" equipment set to the myDatalogEASYmbm (see "Step 1 of the wall mounting" on page 26).
If you want to use the tapping screws (4) included in the equipment set, first of all insert the supplied wall plugs into each of the four drill holes before screwing the myDatalogEASYmbm with the attached assembly loop (3) to the wall (see "Step 2 of the wall mounting" on page 26).
2. Place the assembly loop (3) onto the top edge of the top-hat rail. When turned slightly around the horizontal axis of the myDatalogEASYmbm with the assembly loop (3) attached, the assembly loop (3) engages on the top-hat rail (see "Step 2 of the top-hat rail assembly" on page 27).
Chapter 7 Installation 1 of the pipe assembly " on page 28). 2. Position the myDatalogEASYmbm with the attached assembly loop (3) on the pipe and use the supplied cable binders (4) to secure the myDatalogEASYmbm (see "Step 2 of the pipe assembly"...
Run all data and power cables so that they do not pose a trip hazard and ensure that cables do not have any sharp bends. The myDatalogEASYmbm must not be operated in the field with the lid open. The myDatalogEASYmbm cannot be operated without an internal power supply (accu or battery pack).

Output 2: Isolated switch contact 1. Remove the four screws that secure the housing cover. Then open the myDatalogEASYmbm . Important note: In the event of adverse weather conditions including rain or in a location where water can penetrate from above, suitable measures must be implemented to protect the device from penetrating moisture when the housing cover is open.
4. Then connect your sensors and actuators with the universal inputs and outputs. Subsequently connect the modbus slaves with the modbus connection cable. (see "Connecting the modbus slaves" on page 34). If you are using an accu pack to supply the myDatalogEASYmbm , connect the external charging voltage to V and the GND.
8. Connect the antenna (see "Connecting the GSM antenna" on page 38). The antenna is not included in the scope of delivery and must be ordered separately. 9. Connect the accu or battery pack to the supply connector. The status LED should then start to flicker (see "Status LED"...
2. Connect the modbus slave(s) with the myDatalogEASY RS485 connection cable with open end(206.656). The assignment of the cable is specified in the table above. 7.4.2.2 myDatalogEASYmbm RS485 SUB-D(f) connection cable (206.650 ) Important note: All cabling work must be performed in the de-energised state.

7.4.4.5 Low power digital mode (LP digital) Important note: If a universal input is in "LP digital", a switch contact must only be supplied by V . Attaching an external voltage will cause damage to the universal input. In batt comparison to "digital"...
The RS232 or RS485 interface is fed through to the outside of the device"Connecting the modbus slaves" on page 34), depending on the modbus connection cable (see"Modbus connection cable" on page 98) selected when ordering the myDatalogEASYmbm . Both of the interfaces cannot be operated simultaneously.
7.4.7 Technical details regarding energy management The device will work until 3,1V, if the myDatalogEASYmbm is operated without an external charging voltage (V ). It then switches to energy-saving mode in which only the charge controller is active. If an external charging voltage (V ) is supplied in this mode, the accu pack can be charged up again.
8.3 Placing the system into operation Note: It is recommended that the myDatalogEASYmbm is first placed into operation in the office before per- manently mounting the device at the place of use. In doing so you should set a site for the later operation on the myDataweb server (see "myDatanet Server Manual "...
3. Configure the created site according to your requirements (see "Site configuration" on page 49). 4. Link the myDatalogEASYmbm with the created site (see "Site" on page 49). 5. Check whether the type of accu pack set in the device configuration (see "Device-specific set- tings"...

The accu packs are delivered charged. If you use an external charging voltage (V ) during operation, the accu pack is constantly charged by the charge controller integrated in the myDatalogEASYmbm . If no external charging voltage (V ) is available during operation, it is recommended to recharge the accu pack prior to first use for reasons of operational safety.
Page 90
Important note: The accu or battery pack must only be replaced and/or charged in non-haz- ardous areas and in dry conditions. Only use the Charger myDatalogEASY (206.710) to charge the lithium ion accu pack. The charger specifications must be observed. The use of atypical chargers can destroy the accu pack, for example, causing the cells to leak or an explosion, etc.
Page 91
Chapter 10 Maintenance 10.3 Accu or battery pack While battery packs are intended for single use and must be disposed of accordingly after depletion, accu packs can be recharged and used again and again. However, the service time of accu packs is not indefinite.
Page 93
Dispose of the device in accordance with the locally valid environmental regulations for electronic products. Rechargeable batteries and/or battery packs may not remain in the myDatalogEASYmbm after dis- charging. Ensure that the used rechargeable batteries and/or battery packs are disposed of in an environmentally proper way.
