3. General 3. GENERAL Congratulations on your purchase of this new and innovative ALMEMO ® data acquisition system. Thanks to the patented ALMEMO ® connector the device configures itself automatically and thanks to the supplied AMR-Control soft- ware its operation should be fairly straightforward. The device can, however, be used with such a wide range of sensors and peripherals and offers many different special functions.
Standard delivery 3.2 Standard delivery When you unpack the device check carefully for any signs of transport damage and ensure that delivery is complete. Measuring instrument ALMEMO 5690-1CPU, ® Mains adapter ZB 1212-NA6 12 V / 3 A, These operating instructions, ®...
4. Introduction 4. INTRODUCTION ® The data acquisition system ALMEMO 5690-1CPU is a new member in our family of unique measuring devices - all equipped with Ahlborn's patented AL- ® ® MEMO connector system. The intelligent ALMEMO connector offers decisive advantages when connecting sensors and peripherals because all parameters are stored in an EEPROM located on the connector itself;...
How the system functions The system is fed by default via a 12-V mains adapter. A rechargeable battery module AP is also available as an option. 4.1.1 Sensor programming The measuring channels are programmed, completely and automatically, by ® the ALMEMO connectors.
4. Introduction Scaling The corrected measured value on each measuring channel can also be further scaled in terms of zero-point and gain - using the base value and factor. The decimal point position can be set by means of the exponent function. The scaling values can be calculated automatically by setting to zero and entering the nominal setpoint.
How the system functions provided for thermocouples; temperature compensation is provided for dynam- ic pressure, pH, and conductivity probes; and atmospheric pressure compens- ation is provided for humidity sensors, dynamic pressure sensors, and O sensors. Maximum and minimum values Each measuring operation acquires and stores the maximum and minimum values with date and time-of-day.

4. Introduction accelerated if all measured values are saved to memory and / or output to the interface at the full measuring rate. With option XM and using selector switch boards with integrated measuring circuit the scanning time can be further re- duced;...
How the system functions sensors, and to read out from the measured value memory. Using the integ- rated terminal, measuring operations can also be performed online. The WIN- ® DOWS software package WIN-Control is also available; this can be used for the purposes of measured value acquisition via networked devices, for graph- ical presentation, and for more complex data processing.
5. Commissioning Start measuring operation on site by pressing START/ STOP key. Or in <Program device> enter measuring operation "Start date / time"´and "End date / time"; (see Manual 6.6.2). At the end of the measuring operation stop recording again by pressing START/ STOP.
Operation with rechargeable battery (only with E5690AP) consumption of approx. 25 mA this will give an operating time of approx. 60 hours. To prolong the operating time for the purposes of long-term recording the device can be left in SLEEP mode; (see 10.2.4). When the remaining capa- city of the rechargeable batteries drops to approx.
6. Power supply 6.6 Data buffering The sensor's programming is stored in the EEPROM on the sensor connector and the device's calibration and programmed parameters are stored in the EE- PROM on the instrument itself, both on a fail-safe basis. The data in the stand- ard RAM and the date and time-of-day are buffered by a dedicated lithium bat- tery;...
Sensor / transducer ® ALMEMO Manual includes detailed descriptions of the comprehensive range ® of ALMEMO sensors (see Manual, Chapter 3) and of how to connect your ® own existing sensors to ALMEMO instruments (see Manual, Chapter 4). All ® standard sensors with an ALMEMO connector usually have the measuring range and units already programmed and can thus be connected to any input...

7. Connecting the sensors / transducers ules by means of a code switch (2i). This code switch defines the measuring point number of the first measuring point of each module and thus also the channel number of the previous module. The 1st plug-in module always begins at 0 (zero).
Selector switch boards plug-in module; the sensor data is saved to an EEPROM on the board and must be programmed depending on sensor type e.g. using the AMR-Con- trol software. In the newest version (5.13) this several sensors can be pro- grammed at the same time.
7. Connecting the sensors / transducers means of element flag 5 "ISO OFF" the first time it is connected; (see Manual 6.10.3). However, with certain connectors (especially divider connectors without power supply) element flag 5 should be checked and if necessary cor- rected.
Operation and configuration 9. OPERATION AND CONFIGURATION ® Data acquisition system ALMEMO 5690-1CPU has only a few operating con- trols; it is operated mainly via a PC. 9.1 Combination key The first function of the one and only key ON / OFF - START / STOP (1d) on the CPU measuring circuit board has already been described in Section 6.5.
9. Operation and configuration With option XU or XP permitting up to 250 measuring channels the system occupies altogether three device addresses. The measuring point hundreds groups must each be programmed and scanned just like separate devices (except for the purposes of memory output). The start address of the CPU must not be higher than value 7.
Offline measurement memory is organized and how data is recorded to it and output from it are de- scribed in the Manual, Section 6.9. It can be configured either as linear memory or ring memory; (see Manual 6.10.13.2). As on all other ALMEMO data loggers the internal memory supports the follow- ing functions : Recording to ring memory, sleep mode Selective data output according to date and time-of-day...
10. Measured data acquisition new file is always created and in so doing the index in the file name extension is automatically incremented by 1, e.g. "ALMEMO.002". Similarly, if the file name entered already exists, then a new file will be created with the same file name prefix but with a new index.
Offline measurement ing 10 minutes this represents a measuring duration of up to 100 days. For data recording in sleep mode please go to <Device programming> in your AMR-Control software and take the following steps : 1. Enter a cycle lasting at least 2 minutes (see Manual 6.5.2). 2.
(see Manual 7.4.4). 12. TROUBLE-SHOOTING Data acquisition system ALMEMO 5690-1CPU can be configured and pro- grammed in many versatile ways. It is suitable for connecting a wide variety of very different sensors, additional measuring instruments, alarm signaling devices, and peripheral equipment.

Trouble-shooting (see Manual 6.10.12). In the event of a reset (see 6.5) with the interface module connected, the baud rate will be set to 9600 baud. Is the correct COM interface on the computer being addressed ? Is a printer in the ONLINE status ? Are the handshake lines DTR and DSR active ? To check the data flow and the handshake lines a small interface tester with LEDs comes in very handy;...
