Page 6: General
3. General 3. GENERAL Congratulations on your purchase of this new and innovative ALMEMO ® data logger. Thanks to the patented ALMEMO ® connector the device configures it- self automatically and thanks to the menus and context-sensitive help windows its operation should be fairly straightforward. The device can, however, be used with such a wide range of sensors and peripherals and offers many differ- ent special functions. -

Page 8: Introduction
4. INTRODUCTION ® The ALMEMO 2590 series is a new member in our family of unique measur- ® ing devices - all equipped with Ahlborn's patented ALMEMO connector sys- ® tem. 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;... - Page 9 Functions Measuring ranges Appropriate measuring ranges are available for all sensors with a non-linear characteristic, e.g. 10 thermocouple types, NTC and PT100 probes, infrared sensors, and flow transducers (rotating vanes, thermoanemometers, Pitot tubes). For humidity sensors additional function channels are available for cal- culating humidity variables such as dew point, mixture ratio, vapor pressure, and enthalpy.

4. Introduction mum). In the event of one of these limit values being exceeded an alarm signal is output and relay output modules actuate the associated alarm contacts; these can be allocated individually to specific limit values. Hysteresis is set by default to 10 digits but this can be adjusted to any number between 0 and 99. -
Page 11: Process Control
Functions Maximum and minimum values For each measuring operation the maximum value and minimum value are ac- quired and saved to memory. These values can then be displayed, printed out, or deleted from memory. Average value Manual averaging is available per channel over a certain period or cycle or over a series of individual measuring operations. - Page 12 4. Introduction Measured value memory On data logger 2590-3S or 2590-4S all measured values can be saved to an EEPROM either manually or automatically per cycle. Standard memory capaci- ty is 64 KB - sufficient for up to 12,000 measured values. The memory can be organized and configured in linear or ring form.
