Adding the Data Logger to
the Network
Once you have connected your Receiver and established a
network you are ready to add data loggers and build your
system.
2.5.1.
Charging DataNet Loggers
This section refers to charging the DNL910 or DNL920
loggers. The Mini DataNet units are battery operated only.
Note:
Only use adapters provided by Fourier Systems. Use of
the wrong adapter could damage your DataNet units.
If the loggers will run from the battery supply make sure to first
charge each of the loggers for 16 hours before use in order
maximize the battery life. A fully charged battery can last
several months, depending on your logger configuration.
Refer to section
3.9.6 or more details on battery life.
If the loggers will run from the AC power supply, when first
connected to the AC adapter the logger will always initiate the
16 hour charge cycle.
Note:
For loggers measuring data with the internal
temperature sensor, it is critical to note that during the charge
cycle the logger will heat up thereby causing the internal
temperature sensor reading to rise up to 10
˚
C above ambient
temperature. Once the charging process is complete, the
logger will cool down and the internal temperature sensor
readings will return to normal.
