    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.

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: 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. 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...
  • Page 41 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.

    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 for devices with internal temperature and/or humidity measuring is deliberately slowed down to to prevent excessive influence of measured values.
