The user manual may not be used for the purposes of competition without the written consent of E+E Elektronik Ges.m.b.H. and may not be forwarded to third parties. Copies may be made for internal purposes. All information, technical data and diagrams included in these instructions are based on the information available at the time of writing.
An existing Ethernet connection must be disconnected before opening the housing. 1.2.2. Intended Use EE360 is optimized for reliable measurement in lubrication, hydraulic and insulation oils as well as diesel fuel. In addition to highly accurate measurement of water activity (a ) and temperature (T), EE360 calculates the absolute water content (x) in ppm.
1.2.3. Alarm Module with Voltages >50 V (Option AM2) The optional alarm module is isolated from the low-voltage side of EE360 by a special partition; this must remain fitted at all times in the back section of the enclosure. WARNING An open enclosure corresponds to IP00 and exposes components carrying dangerous voltage.
Environmental Aspects PLEASE NOTE Products from E+E Elektronik Ges.m.b.H. are developed and manufactured in compliance with all relevant environmental protection requirements. Please observe local regulations for the disposal of the device. For disposal, the individual components of the device must be separated according to local recycling regulations.

6 Setup and Configuration The EE360 is ready to use and does not require any configuration by the user. The factory setup of EE360 corresponds to the type number ordered. For ordering guide please see datasheet at www.epluse.com/ee360.
Factory setup can be changed by using a USB configuration cable (USB-C to USB-A, accessory order code HA010327) and the PCS10 Product Configuration Software. The EE360 is powered by the PC via the USB interface, no additional power supply shall be applied.
3.5" TFT Colour Display (optional) The EE360 display includes a data logger and push buttons for full configuration of the device. Upon start-up of an EE360 with display, the data logger and the configuration menu will be initialized during the first 5 seconds.
User Manual EE360 One point Fig. 25 Logging graph The data logging continues even when the data memory is full; new data is stored while the oldest data is deleted (first in first out memory). The last 20 000 logged values are available in the internal memory. The logged data can be downloaded with PCS10 Product Configuration Software as .csv file by choosing the measurands and the time period.
User Manual EE360 Status Information The status information shows all actual EE360 settings. Fig. 27 Status information Buzzer ON / OFF Icon Function Buzzer ON Buzzer OFF Tab. 11 Explanation of the icons Error Indication When an error occurs, the error indication shows the error code.
User Manual EE360 Error Category Description Non-critical error, can be solved by the user. ▪ The display blinks and the buzzer beeps every 10 seconds. ▪ The red status LED lights continuously. Critical error, return the device to E+E for service.
Screw on a new filter cap with upmost care not to touch the sensors. Bend the filter cap’s locking mechanism to the inside. Perform a 2-point humidity adjustment of the EE360 with the PCS10 Product Configuration Software or with the display and push buttons.
(comparison with a reference) or adjustment (bringing the device in line with a reference) The EE360 can be calibrated / adjusted with the help of the PCS10. For this purpose, the probe needs to be connected to a PC via a Modbus configuration adapter.
