PRODUCT FEATURES
®
Throughout the content of this user manual, the Simple Logger
referred to as the “SLII”.
2.1 Description
The Simple Logger® II Bluetooth Series of loggers are four channel
recording devices powered by alkaline batteries.
Frequency tracking is performed such that 64 samples over one line cycle
are taken. Frequency tracking is performed around the nominal frequency
of 50/60Hz. Harmonic measurements are calculated from these 64
samples (harmonics are only available from the Data Logger Control
Panel within the DataView® software).
The Simple Logger® II records at a rate of up to eight times per second.
Samples are taken at a user defined storage rate. This means that the
input(s) are ignored between measurement intervals.
II may be
The SLII’s battery operation allows operation without the need for external
power. A series of front panel LEDs provide a quick status of the logger’s
state, memory usage and low battery indication.
The main advantage of the logger is its ability to perform a variety of
recording tasks with easy and intuitive setup from a computer using
DataView® software, Bluetooth communication and long battery life.
Analog information on the input is sampled and converted to a digital
value. This digital signal is processed and stored along with scale and
time information. An integrated Bluetooth module provides for the transfer
of data from the instrument’s internal memory to the computer for analysis.

1. Reset Switch
The RESET switch resets the CPU. To access this switch, disconnect all inputs and remove the battery compartment cover. The reset
switch is located on the exposed PCB (refer to § 3.10).
2. Flash Upgrade Switches
These three switches (accessible from under the battery cover), the
RESET switch and upgrade software are used to recover from a failed
flash upgrade procedure (refer to § 3. 1).

4. Low Battery Indicator
The instrument contains protection circuitry to prevent it from being
turned on when the battery voltage is below 1.7V.
Simple Logger® II (Bluetooth Edition) Series

There are two thresholds for the battery voltage:
• The rst is used to indicate low battery. The low battery indicator
(Red LED single blink) will blink when the battery voltage drops below
2.2V.
• The second is used to determine when to terminate recording
and turn the unit off. The shutdown threshold is when the battery
voltage drops below 1.7V.
Communication from the instrument to DataView® is disabled below 2.2V.
5. Five LED Indicators
The LEDs on the logger serve two functions: Control Operation and
Status Indication.
• The control operation (when holding down the button) is indicated
with text above each LED.
• The status indication (when the button is not being held down)
associated with each LED is indicated with text below each LED.
• Refer to § 3.1 for detailed descriptions of each LED.
6. CONTROL Button
This button selects the mode of operation. Use this button to start
or stop recordings, erase the memory, clear alarms and turn the
Bluetooth ON/OFF.
7. Input (model dependent)
AL834: Four captive AmpFlex® flexible sensor
ML914: Four captive MiniFlex® flexible sensor
L264: Five 4mm banana plugs
L564: Three 4mm banana plugs and two custom CA connectors
for current inputs
L104: Four custom CA connectors for current inputs
WARNING: If the RESET switch is pressed when the logger is recording,
data in memory may be lost.
