OBSERVATIONS
The logger is an electronic device and some basic care is required:
When opening the device for battery replacement or connecting
sensors avoid touching the circuit for not causing damages
resulting from static electricity.
When the device is opened, avoid liquid and/or dust contact.
Use a screwdriver to open the case cover.
Pay attention to batteries polarity: The positive terminal should be
placed directed towards the center of the device.
Worn batteries should not be recharged, dismantled or
incinerated. After use, batteries must be disposed according to
local legal rules or returned to Novus.
After placing batteries back to the logger, make sure the cover is
firmly attached to the socket.
MOST FREQUENTLY PROBLEMS
The LED is not flashing.
The LED flashing light is intentionally weak, and it can be difficult to
see it in illuminated environments. Make sure it is not flashing at all.
Make sure the battery is installed correctly;
Make sure the battery is not discharged;
Communication with the logger fails
Make sure the COMM port is selected correctly and there is no other
program using the same port during communication attempts;
Make sure there is no physical obstacle blocking the infrared signal;
Make sure the cable is well connected to the PC port;
Make sure the port selected does not present any problem;
