WARNING! 

The battery of EDAS logger IS 

NOT RECHARGEABLE

. We recommend that 

only original batteries of the type, model and brand stated before are used.  

 

To fit the battery in its compartment proceed as follows:  
 

 

Open the logger box by removing the 4 screws located under the 

two black strips at the top and bottom of the box    

 

Place  the 

“D” 

battery  in  its  compartment  paying  attention  to  the 

correct polarity.  

 

A green flashing LED will signal that now the unit is operative.  
 

Note   

If  the  unit  is  not  connected  to  a  PC,  the  green  LED  will  stop  flashing  after  some  10 
minutes and the logger will enter a stand-by status.  
 

WARNING! 

Battery tension is continuously monitored via the Channel 8 

of “

eDAS

.    

During logging operation, we advise to check this channel from time to 

time,  paying  due  attention  to  the  tension  values  recorded.                        
Replace the battery if values lower than 

3,45 Volt 

are noticed. 

 
 

Additional 

“back

-

up” 

battery 

 

A further battery is installed inside the unit. It is a 3V, 20mm diameter, 
Lithium button cell 

“CR2032” 

to power the system clock.  

 

Type   

Lithium cell 

 

Brand 

PANASONIC 

 

Model  

CR2032 

 
The average expected operating life of such a cell is 4..5 years.  

 

 

WARNING! 

The CR2032 cell IS 

NOT RECHARGEABLE

. We recommend that only original 

batteries of the type, model and brand stated before are used.  
Remove this cell only when it needs to be replaced so to prevent  any risk of 
losing recorded data.
