For damages caused by failure to observe these safety and operating instructions, takes over the B+B Thermo-Technik GmbH is not liable.

This device has been designed and tested in accordance to the safety regulations for electronic devices. However, its trouble-free operation and reliability cannot be guaranteed unless the standard safety measures and special safety advises given in this manual will be adhered to when using it.

Trouble-free operation and reliability of the device can only be guaranteed if it is not subjected to any other climatic conditions

than those started under “Specication”.

If the device is transported from a cold to a warm environment condensation may result in a failure of the function. In such a case make sure the device temperature has adjusted to the ambient temperature before trying a new start-up.

If device is to be connected to other devices the circuitry has to be designed most carefully. Internal connection in third party

devices (e.g. connection GND and earth) may result in not-permissible voltages impairing or destroying the device or another

device connected.

Warning:

Just devices with mains input: If device is operated with a defective mains power supply (e.g. short circuit from mains voltage to

output voltage) this may result in hazardous voltages at the device (e.g. at sensor socket)

If there is a risk whatsover involved in running it, the device has to be switched off immediately and to be marked accordingly to avoid re-starting. Operator safety may be a risk if:

● There is visible damage to the device

● The device is not working as specied

● The device has been stored under unsuitable conditions for a longer time

In case of doubt, please return device to manufacturer for repair or maintenance.

1. Product Description

The LogBox-AA is an electronic data logger with two analog input channels, which accept a variety of standard sensors and

0 (4) to 20 mA, 0 to 50 mV or 0 to 10V signals. It also provides a signal for commanding an external power supply (battery)

of a device connected to the logger. This feature allows that the power supply of external devices, such as a transmitter, occurs only during the measurement sample time, thus extending the service life of these external batteries. It can be supplied either in the IPtwo.

The measured values are stored in the logger electronic memory (acquisitions) for later download to a PC for visualization and

analysis in the form of tables or graphs. Data can be easily exported to spreadsheets.

The conguration of the logger can be effected only with use of the IrLink 3 infrared communication interface. The LogChart-II is the software used to congure the logger, download and visualize data. The logger conguration allows dening the logger operation mode, including the start/stop time of data acquisition. Other parameters such as signal input type,

logging interval, etc., is easily selected through the LogChart-II software.

6. Memory Capacity

Two memory storage capacities are offered:

32k Model: Allows up to 32,000 records

64k Model: Allows up to 64,000 records Memory capacity is always shared between enabled channels. In case there are two channels enabled, each gets 50 % of the memory available. When only a single channel is enabled, it has the entire memory at its disposal.

Memory capacity is indicated on the identication label placed on the logger rear panel.

7. Input Signals

The input channels 1 and 2 measure analog electric signals, which can be Pt100, Thermocouple (J, K, T, E, N, R, S or B), voltage (0 to 50 mV or 0 to 10 V) or current (0 to 20 mA or 4 to 20 mA), according to user-dened settings. Note: Besides conguration performed through the software, the denition of input signal requires two internal jumpers to be congured.

Data Acquisition (logging) Data can be acquired through different modes. The logger can be congured to perform a single measurement within a time

interval storing the value read or perform ten measurements within the time interval and store the mean of values measured.

Yet, it can store the minimum or maximum values read in the interval.

5. Properties

Parameter

Start-/stop button (S) This button can be congured to start or stop the temperature measurement process.

IR communication window PC-Logger communication area. During download, the communication interface must be

constantly directed towards this window

Status indicator (LOG) While in stand-by (not logging) or after a series of measurements, it ashes once at every

four seconds. During logging it ashes twice at every four seconds

Alarm indicator (AL) Warns the user as to alarm conditions. Whenever an alarm situation takes place it will ash

once at every four seconds, until a new conguration is applied to the logger

4. Identication

The identication label is on the logger body. Check if the features described are in accordance with your order.

The following elements are shown in the logger front:
