2.WIZARD for INSTALLATION and CONFIGURATION of DATA LOGGER
2.1.1
Mounting of data logger and its accessory
• Select suitable location for placing data logger – pay attention to parameters of ambient
environment, minimize the number of cables, avoid sources of interference
• Mounting of sensors and routing of cables – pay attention to rules of theirs installation, use
recommended working positions, avoid devices and distribution of power electricity
• Check proper connection – before first switching on. If data logger controls other actuating
devices of regulation, it is recommended to put them out of operation before configuration of
data logger.
Detailed rules for mounting of data logger including different ways of connection to the
computer are described in chapter RULES for MOUNTING and CONNECTION DATA
LOGGER.
2.1.2
Basic activation of data logger
• Connection of data logger to power - connect data logger to power and visually check its
function (indication of power, optionally the display and keyboard)
• Installation of software - install user program to the PC (see part PROGRAM for DATA
LOGGER)
Configuration of data logger communication with computer – in user SW in part
Configuration-Setting of communication configure and test the data logger connection to
computer. Detailed description of Setting of communication interface is in chapter
RULES for MOUNTING and CONNECTION of DATA LOGGER.

computer in different ways.
2.1.3
Configuration of data logger – read and change the data logger configuration by means of
the SW in part Configuration – Configuration of data logger (icon i). Detailed description
of data logger configuration is in
part DESCRIPTION of CONFIGURATION and MODES of
DATA LOGGER.
• set data logger Name, Date and Time in data logger
!
6 ie-ms2-MS5-02
• assign names to each measured point and optimize the display for your requirements (signal
conversions, decimal point position etc.)
• switch on each input channel needed and set record function:
- on channels where recorded value with fixed interval is required, use Continuous record
with fixed interval.
- if record with fixed interval only under certain conditions is required, use Conditional
record.
- if only values and time under defined conditions are required, use Sampled record
- each type of record can be limited in time
- different record modes can be combined
• if needed set alarm functions
- first define conditions for consequent actions
- assign to each alarm conditions for creation of alarm
- assign to each alarm actions to be performed in alarm creation (lightening of LED diode
on data logger panel, activation of ALARM OUT output, activation of audible
indication, sending SMS message, sending e-mail etc.)
- maximum four conditions and two different alarm actions on one channel can be
defined; if there is a need for one channel to link several alarms (maximum four), it is
enabled to use available alarms from different channels
- activity of output ALARM-OUT can be cancel by the user directly from data logger or
remotely, at the same time it is possible to record it (including information on way of
canceling)
- changes of state for each alarms can be recorded separately
• if there is a need during data logger operation to describe from its keyboard parts of record
with predefined notes, it is enabled by means of Processes.
• if there is a need during data logger operation to change entire data logger configuration from
its keyboard, it is enabled by means of storing several configuration Profiles.
• if it is required to secure data transfer and access to data logger and program functions,
system of passwords and access rights can be used
2.1.4
Usual work with data logger
• reading, viewing, archiving and print/export recorded data from selected data logger or from
file on disk
• on-line viewing of measured values – Display mode, enables to watch simultaneously all
connected data loggers
• Display mode can be shared simultaneously on several computers in the network
Instructions for regular check and maintenance of data logger are specified in part
RECOMMENDATIONS for OPERATION and MAINTENANCE.

3.RULES for MOUNTING and CONNECTION of DATA LOGGER
3.1. Mechanical location of data logger and the way of cable routing
Location of data logger must match the operating conditions and not allowed manipulations.
Working position of data logger:
• data logger lies on horizontal nonflammable surface
• data logger is fixed by means of mounting consoles on the wall from nonflammable
material or at low current switchboard – working position is with input connectors
downward
The way of mounting of consoles to data logger and mounting holes dimensions:
• data logger is fixed by means of the holder on DIN rail at low current switchboard -
working position is with input connectors downward
The way of mounting the holder to data logger:
8 ie-ms2-MS5-02
Mechanical drawing (without cables and connectors):
Connection terminals and connectors can be protected by magnetically fixed side covers MP027.
Recommendations for mounting:
• do not mount data logger near sources of interference (data logger must not be
mounted directly to power switchboard nor to its nearness. Also do not mount data logger
near power contactors, motors, frequency converters and other sources of strong
interference).
• In cable routing follow rules of standards for installation of low current distribution (EN
50174-2), especially it is necessary to pay attention to avoid electromagnetic interference
intrusion to the leads, transmitters, transducers and sensors. Do not locate cabling near
sources of interference.
!
ie-ms2-MS5-02 9
• Do not use leads in parallel with power distribution network leads
• Do not use outdoor leads without corresponding protection against effects of static
electricity
• if not necessary, do not connect system with other circuitry
• fundamentally use shielded cables - e.g. SYKFY n pairs x 0.5, shielding at data logger side
connect properly
• do not create earth loops - it concerns both measuring circuits and cable shielding.
• do not create hidden earth loops - do not connect cable shielding at end device side, if these
device do not have terminal designed for shielding. Shielding must not be connected to outer
metal parts of the device nor with other devices. Do not use shielding as a signal lead.
10 ie-ms2-MS5-02
• Do not use common leads for several channels
• It is recommended to earth data logger at one point – there is a special terminal on power
terminal. This earthing will work correctly, if system would not be grounded at other point at
the same time.
ie-ms2-MS5-02 11
3.2. Data logger interface connectors
Connectors
Each signal is connected to self-locking terminal WAGO located on the side of the case. Insert flatbladed screwdriver to rectangle terminal hole and push screwdriver towards away from you - contact is
released. Connect wire to released terminal (circular hole behind the rectangular one) and close the terminal
by removing the screwdriver. Connect positive pole of dc voltage of input signal to terminal IN, negative to
COM, shielding to GND.
Notice: The entire input terminal block is possible to remove from data logger by pulling it up from the
connector.
Connection of leads:
Connection of transducers with current output powered by current loop
In case of connection of channels with current loop powered from data logger (inputs A0)
it is possible to insert other devices (panel meters, measuring computer cards, etc.) to
current loop. In this case it is necessary to consider, if undesirable current coupling will not
cause measurement inaccuracy. All inserted devices must be galvanic isolated from other
circuits. In case, it is not possible to ensure this, use galvanic isolated inputs A1G and power loops from
external source. Connection of input part of the module A0 including connection to two-wire probes is
described in appendix 2.
!
12 ie-ms2-MS5-02
Connection of thermocouple probes
For connection of thermocouples use appropriate extension cable. Continuity of material of
thermocouple wire should be kept along the line up to data logger connector. Extension (compensation)
cable for thermocouples type S (PtRh-Pt) is used from different materials (due cost reasons).
Marking of subminiature thermocouple connectors and wires manufactured by OMEGA (in
accordance with US standard):
Type of
thermocouple
Connector color + wire color - wire color
K (NiCr-Ni) Yellow Yellow Red
J (Fe-Co) Black White Red
S (Pt10%Rh-Pt) Green Black Red
B (Pt30%Rh-Pt) White Black Red
T (Cu-CuNi) Blue Blue Red
If there are more thermocouple inputs in data logger not galvanic isolated, avoid thermocouples to be
mutually connected. If hazard of current leakage exists (mostly between thermocouple welded point and
surrounding metal framework), thermocouple probes with galvanic isolated weld from outer probe shield or
galvanic isolated input modules should be used. In other case high measuring errors can appear. It is
recommended to use shielded thermocouple cables for longer distance (depending on possible interference
sources).
Connection of temperature resistance transducers
• data logger enables only two-wire connection
• choose wires of maximum diameter and minimum length. In Appendix 6 additional errors
caused by leads resistance are specified.
• measurement error caused by wire resistance can be compensated by suitable configuration
of data logger
Connection of transmitters with digital output RS485 to RP input
• For connection of RS485 link for input module RS use e.g. shielded cable 2x2x0.5 mm2,
where one pair can be used for power of transducers and second pair for link RS485.
• It is recommended to terminate the link by resistor 120 Ω at the beginning and end of the
cable.
ATTENTION - it is recommended to connect to one RP module only devices
communicating with the same communication speed and the samem communication
protocol!
Connection of output ALARM OUT
This output is dual:
• switching-over galvanically isolated relay contact
• voltage (galvanically connected to data logger)
The output is set from the manufacturer, that in case of selected alarm voltage appears at the output
and simultaneously relay closes. It is enabled to set opposite behavior in data logger configuration
(service menu).
Activity of this output can be cancelled from data logger keyboard by the user or remotely from the
PC. It is enabled to identify by proper data logger configuration, who cancelled the alarm.
It is possible to connect to this output:
!
ie-ms2-MS5-02 13
• External audio indication unit - use shielded cable up to 100m from data logger. Connect
terminal ALARM OUT and GND on data logger with the audio unit in corresponding
polarity. Connector CINCH of audio indication unit has positive pole on its central lead.
• Telephone dialer – in case of alarm telephone dialer dials specified telephone number and
announces voice message. In dialer configuration first select user mode, then store phone
number (or numbers) and record voice message. Then it is recommended to set delay of
transmitting after activation at least 10 seconds (Function 4 1). After completing of all
settings connect dialer to phone line and check the function.
• Simultaneously galvanically isolated contact relay can be used for control of other devices.
If indication controls external circuitry, it is recommended to set delay after activation at least
10 seconds to prevent possible false alerts.
3.3. Mounting and connection of output relays module MP018
Module contains 16 output relays with switching-over contact, which can be used for control of
external devices (see parameters of relay and not allowed manipulations precautions). It is possible to assign
any number of relays to any alarm to be closed if alarm appears. Relay are identified by numbers 1 to 16.
Each relay has three self-locking terminals (switching-over contact). Activity of relay can be checked
visually on assigned LED diodes.
Mounting:
Relay module is designed for mounting to switchboard with corresponding protection.
Fix module (140x211 mm) by means of DIN rail holder MP019 or screw by means of
side wall holders MP013 with four suitable screws (mounting holes are identical as for
data logger with wall holders MP013, see figure above).
Connection:
Connect module to data logger with special cable MP017 (wiring diagram is specified
in Appendix 10). Plug one cable end to corresponding connector on relay module,
second end to data logger, connector Ext. Display & Relays (upper or lower connector
half can be used, both parts are connected identically). Connect slave device on output
terminals of relay. Pay attention to necessary safety (depending on the character of
connected device).
Configuration:
Activate relay module function for proper operation in service menu of user SW. If data
logger is delivered together with relay module, this function is activated already from the
manufacturer.
Relay module layout:
14 ie-ms2-MS5-02
3.4. Mounting and connection of external terminal with display
External terminal with display is designed for visualization of measured values, alarms and for data logger
controlling from point up to maximum 50 m from data logger. Its function is identical with internal built-in
display of MS5D (keyboard and display work in parallel).
Mounting:
External terminal with display is designed for mounting to suitable case. It can be
mounted to low-current switchboard lid where data logger itself is located or to a
separate case. Cut rectangular hole 133 x 94 mm to the lid. Insert terminal unit and four
screws from the front side and screw by means of metal holders from the back side.
Tighten slightly.
Connection:
Connect external terminal to data logger with special cable (wiring diagram is specified
in Appendix 10). Follow identical rules for cable routing as for input signals. Plug one
cable end to corresponding connector on display unit, second end to data logger,
connector Ext. Display & Relays (upper or lower connector half can be used, both parts
are connected identically).
Configuration:
Activate display module for proper operation in service menu of user SW. If data logger
is delivered together with display module, this function is activated already from the
manufacturer. Newer displays are equipped with internal audio indication. Audio
indication behaves in the same way as
External audio indication unit
connected to the
output ALARM OUT. This function can be enabled or disabled in service menu of the
SW.
3.5. Connection of data logger to the computer
