    Inspect the myDatalog2Ex regularly for mechanical damage. Check all cables for mechanical damage at regular intervals. Clean the myDatalog2Ex with a soft, moist cloth. Use a mild cleaning agent, if necessary. Important note: Due to the electrostatic effects, the protective armour must not be rubbed with cloths in the Ex zone.
  • Page 88 4. Briefly (approx. 1 sec.) activate the solenoid switch (see "Operating elements" on page 65) to prepare the myDatalog2Ex for the removal of the rechargeable battery pack. This ensures that the most recently generated data is also saved permanently. If the device is not notified that the rechargeable battery pack is being removed by briefly pressing the solenoid switch, the measurement data from the last half an hour can be lost.
  • Page 89 8. Most damage to the myDatalog2Ex can be attributed to damaged or contaminated seals. The rechargeable battery cover must therefore be replaced every time the rechargeable battery or battery pack is disconnected from the device.

    11. Clean the protective armour before assembly. It is also recommended to lightly spray the corn- ers and surfaces in accordance with Figure "Oiling the protective armour" on page 90 using the paraffin oil spray included in the myDatanet service kit (206.324 ). This facilitates assembly and the subsequent removal of the protective armour during the next service.
  • Page 91 Chapter 12 Maintenance Important note: It is permissible to replace the rechargeable battery pack in the Ex area, although it must not be charged there. When recharging the rechargeable battery pack it must be located outside the Ex area in a dry environment. Only the Charger AC15 (206.701) must be used to charge lithium-ion accu packs.
  • Page 92 The charging process starts as soon as the accu pack is connected to the charger. The accu pack is fully discharged if the status LED on the charger flashes orange. The charging process will take con- siderably longer in this case. A normal charging process is started, if the status LED is orange. The charging process is complete when the status LED turns green.

    Chapter 12 Maintenance 2. Replace the rechargeable battery cover (see "Replacing the rechargeable battery cover" on page 93). 3. To ensure impermeability, it is particularly important to apply a bead of grease on the seal (approx. 0.5 ml) using the syringe included in the myDatanet service kit (206.324 ). Important note: The seal must be greased before EVERY assembly of the rechargeable battery or battery pack.

  • Page 97: Calibration

    Important note: As the ambient temperature is taken into consideration when determining the exact values of the measuring resistances of the universal inputs, the myDatalog2Ex should be acclimatised during the calibration, i.e. it should already have been in the cal- ibration environment for at least two hours.
  • Page 98 (see "Overview" on page 21). 3. Connect the myDatalog2Ex to the PC using the cable USB cable USB-A/USB-B 1,5m (206.601) supplied. The driver will need to be installed, if the device is being connected to the PC for the first time.

    12.7.1 Zero point adjustment via the USB interface (not permissible in the Ex area) Important note: The use of the USB interface of the myDatalog2Ex is NOT permitted in the Ex area (see "Ex protection" on page 18). When using the USB interface, the myDatalog2Ex and the connected sensor must not be located in the Ex area.
  • Page 103 Chapter 12 Maintenance 3. Connect the myDatalog2Ex to the PC using the Commissioning battery pack for myDa- talog/sens Mobile (305005) available as an accessory and the USB cable included in this set. The Commissioning battery pack for myDatalog/sens Mobile protects the myDatalog2Ex from dust and moisture if a USB connection is required during outdoor application.
