1.4 PRECAUTIONS
WARNING
: Please read and understand this section fully before
operating your instrument. Not heeding the warnings or
recommendations could result in data loss, data inaccuracy, damage
to the instrument, or injury to yourself.
WARNING
: To avoid electrical shock, do not
connect any sensor to a high voltage i.e. a voltage
that exceeds 50VDC or 32VAC or the “safety extra
low voltage” (SELV) defined by your local power
authority.
WARNING
: Ensure the data-
transfer cable and bootstrap
cannot be entangled with any
moving or rotating machinery.
WARNING
: Do not operate the instrument in
an explosive environment.
WARNING
: Do not detach the battery pack from
the instrument for more than 2 hours as data and
settings may be lost.
WARNING
: Transfer data stored in the instrument to
a PC before reprogramming the instrument with new
firmware – reprogramming the instrument erases all
data stored in the instrument (see section 4.7).
<
2 hours
13
WARNING
: Charge the battery pack up to at least 30%
capacity before taking a recording. If using the
instrument for 4 hours or more, first ensure that the
battery pack is fully charged.
WARNING
: Constantly charging the battery when it is not fully
drained will create a "Memory" effect and eventually shorten the
amount of charge that the battery can hold. Please read
3.4
Managing Battery
to learn how to prevent this.
WARNING
: Do not expose the instrument to large
impacts or pressure.
WARNING
: Do not use alcohol or any organic
solvent to clean the instrument.
WARNING
: Do not expose the instrument to wet
conditions or store it in a damp place where the relative
humidity exceeds 80% RH.
WARNING
: Do not place the instrument in a hot
place where the temperature exceeds 140°F (60°C).
Otherwise, the battery pack will degrade.
WARNING
: Ensure that the battery pack is securely
fastened – but not over-tightened – to the instrument
before operating the instrument.
WARNING
: If the instrument malfunctions, return it
to an authorized dealer. Do not try to repair it
yourself, as this will invalidate the warranty.
WARNING
: Use only an approved power transformer
and ensure its voltage and frequency rating matches
that of your mains AC power.

OR
Press
Sample Period… to edit the Sample period.
Note
: Refer to section
2.3 Setting up Channels
for more details.

Press
Sys and select Setup Inputs… .
Note
: Refer to section
2.2 Setting up Inputs
for more details.
18
1.6.5 Recording Data at Time Intervals
An example of this type of recording may be recording the Relative
Humidity in an art gallery every hour. You would then log one sample
of data every hour and have channels with sensors recording the
%RH, Temperature and light levels.
To make the instrument record data every specified time interval and
then power down and wait for the next recording time;
Press
Trig and select Timer Based… .
Change the Recording and Sampling periods to suit.
Change the After Recording: option to Power Down.
Press
to accept the changes and then press to begin
the recording.
Note
: Refer to section
2.3.1 Setting Up Your Recording (The
Trigger Menu)
for more details.
1.6.6 Recording after an Alarm Condition has
occured
An example of this type of recording would be to record the level of a
lake after it begins to flood.
To make the instrument start to record data after an alarm event;
Press
Trig and select Level Based… .
Select the channel on which to place the alarm level.
Select the Trigger type to be used.
Enter the range(s) of the Trigger that would cause it to generate
the alarm.
19

the instrument into Waiting for Trigger mode.
Note
: Ensure that the channel that you have set the alarm level on
is actually enabled.
Note
: Refer to section
2.3.1 Setting Up Your Recording (The
Trigger Menu)
for more details.
1.6.7 Recording Data before an Alarm
Condition
An example of this type of recording would be to record data 60
minutes before an earth quake occurs.
To make the instrument record data before an alarm is triggered;
Setup the channel(s) required with the alarm condition as above.
Press
Trig and select Pre-Trig… .
Enter the time period required to log data before the alarm event
and press
to accept this value. In the example 60 minutes
would be entered.
Press
and the instrument will begin logging data. This allows
it to store data for the specified time before an alarm event
occurs.
Note
: If an alarm event triggers the instrument before it has stored
the specified Pre-Trig data then the recording will begin at
the current point in time. This means it is possible to have a
recording that does not contain the total amount of Pre-Trig
data.
