Introduction
cable. What is completely new with the V7 generation is the channel numbe-
ring system. Sensors and sockets are counted from 0 to 9; this is followed by
the channels counted as decimals also from 0 to 9; i.e. the first sensor has
channels 0.0 to 0.9, the second has 1.0 to 1.9, etc.
Programming and functioning are virtually identical for all units.
The following points apply to all devices in the ALMEMO
®
measuring system;
these are described in detail in the ALMEMO

Manual which is included in deli-
very with each device.

5.1 Functions of the ALMEMO 809
Measured data acquisition module ALMEMO
®
809 is housed in a compact 8-
DU case; it has 9 electrically isolated measuring inputs suitable for all ALME-
MO
®
sensors. Given the large portfolio of V6 sensors and now the new, inno-
vative D7 sensors measuring possibilities are nowadays virtually limitless.
Thanks to the external memory connector with a micro SD card and the real-
time clock, all incorporated as standard on the ALMEMO
®
809, the amount of
data you can record is virtually endless. The ALMEMO
®
809 also incorporates
a high-speed 8-MB flash memory sufficient for up to 1.5 million measured valu-
es . There are two output sockets which can be used to connect any of the AL-
MEMO
®
output modules, e.g. analog output, digital interface, memory connec-
tor, trigger input, or alarm contacts. Multiple V7 devices can be networked to-
gether by simply connecting them via network cable.
5.1.1 Sensor programming
The measuring channels are programmed, completely and automatically, via
the ALMEMO
®
plugs. However, the user can easily supplement or modify this
programming via the interface.
