2. Instructions and safety guidelines
2.1 Network and USB connection
The ECOLOG-NET family of dataloggers is fitted with a 10/100 Base T network connection point. The dat-
alogger functions and network can be configured using this connection.
In addition, the datalogger is equipped with a USB connection. This connection can be used for datalogger
configuration and data download if no network connection is available; however, it is not possible to define
network parameters using this connection. In the event that both the network connection and USB con-
nection are in use, data cannot be transmitted via LAN connection.
LAN
USB
In order to obtain an optimal USB connection, the following operational sequence should be followed:
1. Connect the power supply to the datalogger and turn on the PC
2. Once both devices are ready for use, connect the USB cable
3. The Windows driver for the USB connection being used must be installed. If the appropriate driver is
missing, it can be installed using the elproLOG ANALYZE software CD.
4. elproLOG ANALYZE: Options - Com Port - RS232 & 57600 (Hotseries 4) and appropriate COM-port.
2.2 Temperature effect
- For the range of application
.
- It can't be guaranteed that the loggers will function properly if the datalogger is exposed to tempera-
tures which exceed the specified threshold range. Experience has shown that the battery freezes at
approx. -50°C, that it is no longer possible to perform measurements, and that the timer tracking func-
tion can be temporarily interrupted. Once it has been returned to room temperature, the logger must
be reprogrammed before it can be used again.
- At temperatures below - 20°C, the display is not easily readable; however, longterm use is not
affected.
- For longterm use above 40°C, lithium battery passivation can lead to temporary reading problems
(self-discharge protection), which can be resolved with repeated utilization.
- At temperatures above 45°C self-discharging of the battery increases. At continuous operations
above 45° C the battery life time will be reduced by 1/3.
- Exposure to temperatures above 55°C can result in permanent discoloration of the display.
- There is danger of a gas explosion if the lithium battery is heated to temperatures exceeding 100°C.
2.3 Exceptional environmental conditions
Pay attention to the following when dataloggers are used under special environmental conditions:
- IR radiation (heat) and superheated steam can damage the surface coating of the casing
- There is a risk that the battery may explode if the logger is used under microwave radiation
Initial startup
BEFORE THE INITIAL START-UP THE DATALOGGER MUST BE AT ROOM TEMPERA-
TURE!
