2. Applications and Safety Regulations

2.1 Operating Temperatures - The loggers can be used in the temperature range between -35 and +55C. However, it becomes increasingly difficult to read the display when the temperature falls below -20C. - Battery self-discharging increases at temperatures exceeding 45C and continuous operation at temperatures above 45C can reduce the serviceable life by approx. 1/3. - Lithium battery passivation, due to long-term use at temperatures above 40C, can result in temporary read problems (self-discharge protection). This can be rectified by repeated evaluation. - Long-term use at low temperatures down to -40C does not present any problems. - We can not guarantee that the logger will always function properly if it is implemented at temperatures below -40C. Experience has shown that the battery freezes at approx. -50C, that it is no longer possible to perform measurements and that the timer tracking function can be temporarily interrupted. To make further operation possible, the logger must be reprogrammed when room temperature is reestablished. - Temperatures exceeding 55C can result in permanent discoloration of the display. - Temperatures exceeding 70C can result in deformation of the housing. - A gas explosion can occur at the lithium battery if temperatures exceeding 100C are reached. 2.2 Exceptional Environmental Conditions Pay attention to the following when loggers are used under exceptional environmental conditions: - UV rays diminish the stability of the housing - IR radiation (warmth) and superheated steam can result in deformation of the housing - A vent hole should be drilled at negative pressures of <0.4 bar abs. - There is a risk that the battery may explode if the logger is used in conjunction with microwaves 2.3 Precautionary Measures for Handling Units with Lithium Batteries - Do not short-circuit batteries: Danger of explosions - Do not throw units which contain batteries into fire: Danger of explosions - Do not subject the batteries to mechanical stress and do not dismantle them. The leaking battery fluid is highly corrosive and lithium can generate severe heat when it comes into contact with moisture or it can ignite fire. - Do not heat up battery-driven units to temperatures exceeding 100C: Danger of explosions - Avoid violent knocks and blows - Follow the manufacturers specifications for battery storage - Return the batteries to the supplier for correct waste disposal 2.4 Maintenance To ensure proper functioning of the logger the following steps should be part of a periodical maintenance plan: - Calibration check, for detailed information see also data sheet ECOLOG D-EZ-2001E - Readout of the data logger and saving the file - Check of the alarm function if used - Battery replacement (Part No 2819; Lithium 3.6V, 1900mAh, AM3/LR6/AA) 2.5 Technical Alterations In the interest of our customers, we reserve the right to perform alterations resulting from subsequent technical developments without any particular notice. For this reason, diagrams, descriptions and the information concerning the scope of delivery are not binding. - This product must be certified with CE - The manufacturer guarantees that this product complies with the relevant recommendations

5. Definition of Alarm Parameters

The dataloggers ECOLOG have an alarm indication feature and all models except the TN2 are also equipped with an alarm contact. The alarm parameters are defined in the Setup of Alarm Parameters window. - Alarmindication The alarm indication is independent of the sensor number, but all sensors that may cause an alarm have to be selected in the measurement function. The alarm indication has to be reset manually. It is possible to reset the alarm indication by the PC software, the keyboard or the alarm reset connector. - Alarm contact In case of an alarm indication, the alarm contact is closed (except for a TN2). The alarm contact is independent of the sensor number, but all sensors that may cause an alarm have to be selected in the measurement function.
- Hysteresis is used for controlling external processes (P-Controller) only. Set to 0 for alarm function with time delay - Example: a) Alarmfunction with time delay: Hysteresis = 0C b) Controlfunction for P-Controller: Hysteresis = 1C Overstepping the limit value Hysteresis Limit value Over/Understepping the limit value Measurement values within the limits Understepping the limit value Limit value Hysteresis

Alarm on Alarm Thresholds Hysteresis

By activating this check box, the alarm function is switched on. Data entry field for lower and uper limit values. The switching hysteresis is used to avoid uncontrolled on/off switching of the contact. To move the contact, the measurement value has to differ from the limit value by the value defined in this field. Alarm Delay Time - normal To close the alarm contact, the duration of a measurement value, outside the limit values, has to be longer than the delay time defined in the "normal" data entry field. - defrost on If the "check defrost" function is selected and the defrost contact D1 is closed, then the duration of a measurement value, outside the limit values, has to be longer than the delay time defined in the "defrost on" data entry field. Alarm Output - no selection This mode is used for all applications where the alarm contact is used to control any external devices like a flash light or a telephon dailing unit. The contact will be closed as long as a limit value is exeded. - using CRA bracket This mode is used in combination with a 280x-CRA bracket only. - self-sustaining This mode is used for all applications where the alarm contact is used to control any external devices like a flash light or a telephon dailing unit. The contact will be closed till the alarm is reseted by the user . Close / Download / Print Status These boutons are used to program the logger, to printout the current status of the logger and to close the Setup of Alarm Parameters window.

6.1 Measurement Values
English
ECOLOG TH1 ECOLOG TN1

All dataloggers except TN2 and TN3-P are able to printout complete measurement value tables on a protocol printer. Customer Module Tag

N.C.: No sensor connected

6.2 Alarm- and Status- Information

Dataloggers of the TNx-Family (except TN2 and TN3-P) are printing an alarm or a status protocol, dataloggers of the THx and TPx-Family are printing a combined alarm and status protocol. TNx: Alarm = Prn AIAI Status = Prn StSt THx: Alarm = Prn AlAl Status = Prn AIAI TPx: Alarm = Prn AIAI Status = Prn AIAI

6.3 Function F2 - Time Stamp

All dataloggers of the THx-Family will mark the actual measurement value with a time stamp, as input D2, by pressing F2. Also this time stamp is visible under PC data evaluation as D2 (graphics and table mode).

6.4 Function F3 - Short Protocol

All dataloggers except TN2 are able to printout measurement values in a short protocol (up to 250 values). TN3-P: Printing starts by power up of the printer. At the time of data printing, MarkPos marking in the measurement value table.

7. Status- and Error-Codes

CAL IdLE Calibration active Datalogger is in Idle-Mode Idle-Mode is reached if the logger is in the Start/Stop mode and the memory is full. Logging has been stopped. For a new logging period, the logger has to be reprogrammed. This is the delivery status of the PT100 loggers TP2 and TP4-L. The calibration parameters of the rH/T sensor are automatically uploaded when the sensor is connected to the logger. Data are printed Battery voltage is too low Error during calibration Datalogger is faulty Error during printing Logger key pad is defective Datalogger is faulty Error during upload of rH/T sensor parameters No sensor is connected Sensor has a short circuit Over flow of measurement value Under flow of measurement value
