  • Page 17: Models Produced

    Models produced The models produced differ from one another by types and ranges of values to be measured. The datalogger’s input channels are invariably assigned to these values. The user cannot change the measured quantities and their ranges. If GSM communication is used, it is necessary to pay attention to a sufficient level of GSM signal at the location.
  • Page 18 To maintain the IP rating, the unused probe connectors should be provided with a supplied closing cap. The U0141TM has a low degree of protection IP20. U0141TM The connectorless probes Pt1000/0 series are intended to this model. The device has not a protection against the ingress of water or dust.
  • Page 19 U0843M Two-channel binary-input thermometer for external probes This model can measure up to two temperature values, which are sensed by outdoor Pt1000/0 series probes. In addition, it is provided with two binary inputs for monitoring voltage-signal changes or changes of a signal coming from a dry contact. The binary input changes are registered immediately, irrespectively of the recording interval setting.
  • Page 20 Thermometer – hygrometer for external probe This model measures temperature, relative humidity and dew point temperature using an outdoor COMET Digi/E series probe. Its response to the temperature or relative humidity change is significantly faster than by models with internal sensor. This model is often utilized to monitor areas in which only the probe is installed, whereas the main unit is installed elsewhere.

    Application notes Operation with a constantly connected charger __________ Datalogger is primarily intended to be operated as an autonomous unit powered by its built-in batteries. Nevertheless, you can also operate it with a charger which is constantly connected to it, or with a computer. The datalogger’s internal charging circuitry controls the battery charging process based on its instantaneous condition, thus protecting it against damage.

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.
  • Page 40 • If the blue diode does not start flashing at all, then the datalogger‘s radio section has not been activated at all. It may be caused by an improper setting: A non-functioning SIM card has been inserted, the SIM Card has been blocked because a wrong PIN has been entered, the alarm is not activated at all, no phone number is assigned to the alarm, and the like).

  • Page 41: Recommendations For Operation And Maintenance

    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.
