TE-4602
Tinytag Plus LAN Data Logger with Two Temperature & Relative Humidity Probes
(-25 to +85°C/0 to 100% RH) x 2

Power Information

This logger is a PoE (Power over Ethernet) device that is powered from its
Ethernet connection (a PoE injector is supplied).
In the event of a failure of the PoE supply, the logger has a battery back-up
that will keep it recording (communications will be suspended until power is
restored).
Back-up Battery Power
Battery Type
The logger will operate with other AA cell batteries but performance cannot be
guaranteed.
When the logger's back-up batteries start to run flat, the LED on the front of
the logger will flash red. If being used as part of a Tinytag Connect system, a
low battery warning will be displayed in the Tinytag Explorer Connect software.
The low battery warnings will start to show when the logger has approximately
two weeks of battery power remaining.
Before replacing batteries the logger must be disconnected from the LAN and
turned off.
Alkaline batteries should always be replaced in pairs.
Data stored in the logger will be retained after its batteries are replaced.

LED Flash Patterns

Ethernet Radio Receivers and LAN data loggers have two status LEDs; one to
show the status of the logger's Ethernet connection (yellow/blue) and the
second to show the status of the unit (green/red).

Alarms
LAN data loggers can be programmed with alarm limits to warn when a
property has gone out of specification.

Tinytag Connect
When used as part of a Tinytag Connect system, an on-screen alarm
indication is also shown in the Tinytag Explorer Connect software.
E-mail warnings can be sent from the Tinytag Connect system when alarm
limits are breached, and these in turn can be used to send SMS messages
using third-party messaging services.

External Alarm Output

The alarm output has a signal line that changes state when alarms are active
and it can also supply power to an external device.
Connection Information
An output cable (part number CAB-0041, supplied separately) is used to
connect the logger to an external device.
The wiring connections are as follows:
Colour

Brown
Power
Green
Ground
White
Signal
Both the Power (brown) and Signal (white) outputs are protected by a 350mA
self-resetting fuse.
Signal Specification
This is an open-drain output that is pulled to Ground when an alarm is active
(otherwise it is open-circuit). This output will continue to change state, in the
event of an alarm, should the PoE supply to the logger fail.
Note that muting the internal alarm sounder, by pressing the mute
button on the front of the logger, will also turn off the output. If
required, the connection should be held on (latched) by external
equipment until it is explicitly acknowledged.
Power Specification
The power output is regulated at 11·5V ±0.5V from the PoE supply. The
output voltage will therefore turn off if the PoE supply fails.
Warnings
The alarm cable and connector must not be connected to any voltage
more than 50V away from earth potential, including mains voltages
Maximum current through any connection: 200mA
Maximum voltage on the Signal output (relative to Ground): 30V
2 fully programmable, latching alarms
(per channel)
1 second to 10 days
Visual (LED) & audible (sounder)
3-pin, powered output that changes state
when alarms are active (see below)
