MiniLog2 Mode: Switching Starting-, Stopping and using Pre Set Cycles The temperature compensated clock of the MiniLog2 allows synchronised switching even when being rarely synchronised. Typical time difference without synchronising is 20ms per day for 10°C to 30°C. Start Switching...
MiniLog2 Mode: Switching Programming Switching Cycle Beside the fix preset switching cycles, MiniLog2 allows manual programming of the on and off time. The times can be programmed from 0 to 4s with 0.1s, and above with 1s resolution. Programming SWITCH...
MiniLog2 Mode: Switching Sleep Mode With activated sleep mode, the switching will be paused in the night (08:00pm till 07:00am) and during the weekend (Saturday and Sunnday). Activate SWITCH SLEEP Sleeping Mode Choosing Yes / No SLEEP Activate Sleep Mode...
Mode: Switching GPS Synchronisation If the GPS receiver is connected with the GPS input socket, MiniLog2 automatically tries to synchronise itself every 6 hours with the GPS signal. If a synchronisation at once is required, one can start a GPS synchronisation manually.
MiniLog2 Mode: Switch External Synchronisation For the synchronisation of the MiniLog2 with an external switcher, choose the external synchronisation. The external switcher functions as "Master", while the MiniLog2 reacts on the opening of the external contact as a "Slave". The relay contact of the external switcher has to be connected in advance between the channel 1 input and GND.
Mode: Switch Manual Synchronisation For manual synchronisation of the MiniLog2, choose the manual synchronisation mode. The MiniLog2 will react on pressing the "Start" key, and taking this moment as the start of the off-period of the chosen switching cycle. Selecting Manual...
Mode: Logger Multimeter When used as a multimeter, MiniLog2 measures in fixed range only, without auto ranging. The range has to be changed manually. The input resistance is 10MΩ for range "Hi" (100V) and "Lo" (10V). For the range "Mic"...
2. See also section "Mode Multimeter", "Change Range". For the ranges "Hi" and "Lo" auto range is used during data logging. MiniLog2 will choose the best range automatically for each channel separately. Only if the range "Mic" is pre set, no auto ranging will take place.

MiniLog2 Mode DCVG DCVG- or CIPS measurement Electrodes Setup For DCVG measuring, one connects channel 2 (red) and GND (blue) only. For CIPS, the channel 1 takes the test point potential, the channel 2 takes the gradient electrode, and the GND is connected with the electrode above the pipe.
