3/6
It sets the reading time of the sensor for the display updating. When
selected by
lo6
, it performs the sensor reading and the display
updating, according to the interval set for acquisition.
When selected by
10 s
,
30 s
or
60 s
it performs sensor reading
for display updating every 10, 30 or 60 seconds. In this mode if the
acquisition interval is shorter than the time set in the screen
disp
,
display will be updated according the acquisition interval.

BATTERY AUTONOMY
The estimated battery autonomy is above 200 days. This autonomy is
directly related to the register using mode. The shorter is the interval of
the sensor reading, the smaller will be the autonomy, and it can last
only 30 days, in the worst case.
For saving battery energy it has to set the longest interval possible
between acquisitions, as well as for display updating.
Examples:
Example 1:
Acquisitions interval equal to 10 minutes and
disp
screen in
lo6
mode. In this case, logger remains sleeping and
actives only in every 10 minutes to read the sensor, update the
display and make the acquisitions.
Example 2:
Acquisitions interval equal to 10 minutes and
disp
screen in
60
s
(60 seconds). In this case, logger remains sleeping
and activates in every 1 minute to measure the sensor and update
the display. And every 10 minutes, it activates and measures the
sensor for making the acquisitions.
Comparing the
Ex. 1
and the
Ex. 2
with same acquisitions interval,
the second example consumes 10 times more battery regarding the
first one, due to the constant sensor reading for display updating.
Example 3:
Medium, minimum and maximum mode.
When one of these acquisition modes is used, 10 sensor readings
are performed to make one acquisition. If the acquisition interval is
equal to 10 minutes and
disp
screen is in
lo6
mode, in every 1
minute a measure will be made to make the 10 necessary measures
for an acquisition. In this case consumption will be same as
Ex. 2
.
Example 4:
Starting and ending of acquisitions.
It has to observe the best start and end acquisitions mode to save
battery, due to necessity of the measures.
If the process in which the measures are performed, only a short
interval happens. The best is to use start and end of acquisitions by
button.
If process occurs on a daily basis during the day, the best way is to
use the start and end by date and daily repetition.

INTERFACE INSTALLATION
In the
IR-Link3 / RS232
model there is a RSR232 / Ir communication
interface. It must be connected to the serial port at the PC.
In the
IR-Link3 / USB
model there is a USB / Ir communication
interface, which must be connected to the available USB port.

REGISTER CONFIGURATION
You can configure the
LogBox-RHT-LCD
using
NXperience
software. To do this, however, the Communication Interface must be
connected to the computer.
The interface must be facing the front panel of the logger
(communication window) at all times and at a maximum distance of
15 cm, as shown in the figure below:

INSTALLING NXPERIENCE
NXperience
software allows you to explore all the features of the
device by communicating through its USB interface. It is also a
complete tool to perform the analysis of the data logged by
LogBox-
RHT-LCD
.
To install
NXperience
, just run the
NXperience.exe
file, available
