  • Page 4: Introduction

    The analog inputs accept any type of temperature sensor, such as thermocouples, Pt100 or sensors for any other quantities with current or voltage signals. The digital channel can log the time of events, such as opening a door, or counting pulses from a flow sensor. LogBox BLE also has internal sensors: temperature, battery voltage, and external source voltage, which can also record the values in the memory, taking the place of any of the available measurement channels.

  • Page 5: Display And Navigation

    DISPLAY INFORMATION LogBox BLE has an LCD display with 3 numerical lines of 4 ½ digits to display the current value of all enabled channels, as well as the minimum and maximum values thereof. At the same time, it is possible to display the current value of up to 3 analog channels and, in a second screen, if enabled, it is possible to display the digital input current value.

    OPERATION KEYS To navigate between the screens, LogBox BLE has two keys: . Each key, depending on the current navigation screen, has two or more features: ● Short touch (less than 2 seconds): ○ Proceeds to the next screen if the current screen mnemonic is being displayed.

  • Page 11: Operation Autonomy

    OPERATION AUTONOMY The LogBox BLE comes with 4 AA alkaline batteries (1.5 V each) with a working temperature specification of -10 °C to 50 °C. They have a capacity of 2000 mAh, which gives the typical duration of 2 years in the following configuration: •...

  • Page 12: Input Signals Reading

    INPUT SIGNALS READING LogBox BLE allows users to choose, along with channels to be registered and sensor types, some configurations that provides flexibility to various applications, allowing users to consider the energy resources (battery life) and data storage (length of log memory). Thus, it is possible to configure the device with the following parameters: ●...

  • Page 13: Measurement And Indication Of Input Types

    How much it can measure beyond the range depends on the type of input configured and might vary between different devices. The following table describes what to expect in the LogBox BLE display according to the signal applied to the input for each configured input type. 5.1.1 MEASUREMENT AND INDICATION OF INPUT TYPES...
  • Page 14 (e.g., thermocouple simulator, Pt100) may not operate properly, causing false reading offsets and oscillations. If such a problem is identified, it is recommended to power the LogBox BLE via external power supply or USB while using the simulator.

  • Page 15: Digital Input

    If the sensor is a Dry Contact type, the LogBox BLE count registers (16 bits and 32 bits) will be able to count up to 10 pulses per second. For PNP and NPN sensors, 2000 pulses per second.

    (custom unit of the user). In the same example, let’s say that the log interval is 20 seconds. Thus, if the sensor gives 20 pulses per second, the LogBox BLE will register 400 pulses per range, displaying to the user 40 pieces per minute (((20 pulses/s)/(30 pulses/piece)) * 60 (1 min) = 40).

  • Page 17: Digital Output

    Ex.: 4-20 mA transmitters can be powered by the digital output pin, so that they can only be turned on at the time they are read, thus, saving power from LogBox BLE external power supply, which can be a 12 V battery. In the "Auxiliary Electronic Switch" mode, it is necessary to set how long before each acquisition the digital output must be triggered.

  • Page 18: Data Registering

    DATA REGISTERING Data registering will be done in LogBox BLE’s internal memory. The internal memory capacity is up to 140,000 logs. The number of logs that can be stored in the internal memory depends basically on the number of input channels that are enabled, as well as factors such as recording or not recording the digital input event.

  • Page 19: Alarms

    ALARMS LogBox BLE has four channels, where in each of them it is possible to set a minimum and a maximum alarm. Alarms are displayed and can be configured to trigger an internal buzzer for audible warning and a digital output for user control.

    NXPERIENCE MOBILE The NXperience Mobile application is the ideal tool for the daily use of LogBox BLE. Running on Android or iOS smartphones, it is always on hand to monitor, download data, or configure the register. Through the Android or iOS sharing feature, you can export your registers data by email or store it in Google Drive, Dropbox, and any other cloud storage tool.
