Introduction
This datalogger is designed for autonomous measurements and recording of physical and electrical data, with the data recording interval from 1 s to 24 h. The inputs and ranges of quantities to be measured are determined by the model type the user has bought. The user cannot modify them. This portable device can be mounted in a fixed-position. To set up datalogger, a PC with a USB interface is needed.
This device allows:
- to measure and process input data coming from internal or external sensors, binary inputs, counters and voltage or current inputs.
- to detect and log minimum and maximum values (existing since their last manual resetting) of each quantity,
- to display the measured values on an LCD display. Some features can be controlled by two push buttons situated next to the display (device switching off and on, deactivation of alarm signalling, Min/Max value resetting),
- to store an autonomous chronological record of measured values in internal non-volatile memory. The values to be collected can be measured at the instant of recording or as average or min/max values detected during the recording interval. Recording can be performed continuously or at the alarm time only. The recording mode can be also set optionally as non-cyclic to stop at the memory filling up, or as cyclic. In this mode the originally recorded values will be overwritten by fresh ones after the memory unit getting filled up.
- to set up two alarm signalling limits for each quantity to be measured. The alarm signalling can be realised visually, optionally by a symbol appearing on the display or by a short blink of an LED, or acoustically
- to be supplied in autonomous manner from an internal primary lithium battery, CO2 sensor models are powered by an internal Li-Ion accupack that can be charged using a conventional USB charger. Other models can not be charged.
- to communicate with a computer by means of a USB interface (all device settings, recorded data downloading, and online monitoring). To communicate, the datalogger utilises the HID USB standard, which does not require additional controllers to be built into the PC.

8 IE-LGR-Uxxxx-01
You can fix the device on the wall with the aid of a lockable holder LP100 (optional accessory)
Probe installation and cable routing - observe the installation instructions, realize the recommended operating positions, avoid electric-
power distribution systems. See the chapter „MODELS PRODUCED“ for
more information.
For the U3120, U3631, U4130, U3430 and U4440 device remove any transport transparent foil from the front panel (otherwise it would prevent air access to internal sensors)
Device set-up
Connect the appropriate probes and signal leads to the device. For
more information refer to the chapter „MODELS PRODUCED“.
Install the COMET Vision software into your computer - is available for free on the address www.cometsystem.com.
Run COMET Vision software
Connect the device to the computer - on the datalogger side, use a
USB cable provided with a USB-C terminal.
Setting up the device - with the aid of the COMET Vision program, set
up the device identification, the names of the points to be measured, the recording mode, the alarms and there signalling.
For more information, refer to the chapter „SETTING-UP THE DEVICE“.
IE-LGR-Uxxxx-01 9
Running the device
After the set-up - Disconnect the device from the computer and close the USB connector with a closing cap. Check that all connectors are tightened properly. The device may be operated with a permanently connected USB cable. In this case the ingress protection will be reduced to IP 20.
Operating the device by means of keys - In the main display mode you can switch over between individual channels and the display mode Current / minimum / maximum values by means of the keys. By pressing a certain key combination, you will enter a menu in which you will be able to switch the device on or off, to delete the Min/Max values and to disable the alarm signalling. For more information, refer to the chapter OPERATING THE DATALOGGER FROM THE KEYPAD“.
Charging the batteries - applies only to models with a CO2 sensor (contains Li-Ion accupack), other devices cannot be charged. An internal charger will be activated immediately after connecting the USB charger or after connecting the datalogger to the computer. The datalogger contains an intelligent charging circuitry evaluating the battery condition and internal temperature. Charging time depends on the current battery discharge status The battery charging process will be initiated only in the case that the battery voltage is low and the internal temperature ranges between 0 °C and 40 °C. Use the recommended charger type only. During the charging period the ingress protection is reduced to IP 20; therefore, do the charging under room (or similar) conditions only. If the battery is very low, the charging process may be terminated with an error message. In such a case contact the datalogger vendor to apply for battery replacement. During the battery charging period the internal temperature of the device may be slightly raised, which can, for a short period of time, adversely influence the measurement values of the internal sensors. Therefore, the charging speed with the power on is deliberately slowed down to avoid excessive measurement influence. If you want to charge the device as soon as possible, turn it off first. When the device is turned off, the fast charging mode is automatically activated. Fully charged battery is indicated on the display of the device usually within 6 hours.
Maintenance and regular checks - for a reliable functioning of the device it is advisable to perform its regular check-ups. For more details refer to
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE“.
Device disposal procedure
Screw-off the rear cover of the datalogger, take out the battery. The device is disposed of as electronic waste. The battery must be disposed of as hazardous waste.

Operating the datalogger from the keypad
Displaying the device data
Data memory occupancy - this display section offers information about the
current condition of the free space existing in the data memory. The blinking of the Memory symbol indicates that the preset memory occupancy limit has
been exceeded. This limit can be set up in the device’s configuration. Several
actions can be assigned to it (optical and acoustic signalling).
The memory occupancy is about 75 %, the device is in the non- cyclic recording mode, i.e. the recording will be stopped as soon as the memory capacity is full.
The memory occupancy about 75 %, the device is in the cyclic recording mode, i.e. as soon as the memory capacity is full, the oldest data will be overwritten.
The memory occupancy 100 %, the device is in the cyclic recording mode. The preset memory occupancy limit has been exceeded (The Memory symbol is blinking).
Record status - offers information on whether the recording is ON and whether it is just running.
IE-LGR-Uxxxx-01 11
A continuous recording with a preset interval is ON and running. The recording is ON in the device and it is running at present. This
kind of display is utilized, when the record activity is dependent on the alarm or the external input condition.
The recording is ON in the device but it is not running at present.
For instance, the rrecording is ON during an alarm only, and there is no alarm just now. Or, a recording is ON that is controlled by an external input which not active at the moment.
The LOG symbol is not displayed: The recording is OFF in the
device. The recording is not allowed in any channel in the device’s
configuration.
Meaning of the values displayed - this item specifies the meaning of the measured values displayed in the two main rows. Beside the currently measured values the device will also evaluate the minimum and maximum values from their last resetting by the user. If the device is OFF and has not
been running for some time, then, after it is turning ON, the value of Min / Max is then set to the values before switching OFF. It can be preset in the
device configuration, whether and in what manner these Min/Max values will be displayed by the device. Remember that the Min/Max in question are different from those being recorded.
Neither MIN nor MAX is displayed. You can see values that have been currently measured.
In both display rows you can see the minimum values measured since their last resetting by the user.
In both display rows you can see the maximum values measured since their last resetting by the user.
Alarm condition - this item provides instant information that at least one of the alarms which have been preset is active. Alarms can be generated by exceeding the limits that have been preset in individual channels. Moreover, they can notify of a device failure. In the device configuration you can preset which conditions should be considered as alarm generating. By means of the upper key you can easily browse through the values measured in all device channels (if enabled in device configuration). In the case that the value is preceded by a bell-like icon, the preset limits (alarms) have been exceeded in this channel.

Battery condition - this symbol provides overview information about the current battery charging condition. The charging is indicated by flashing one of these symbols.
Battery conditions during battery operation of the device:
Fully charged battery Partly discharged battery Heavily discharged battery Totally discharged battery, the device will be switched OFF.
Battery conditions with a charger connected to the battery:
Blinking symbol of an empty battery. There was a deep discharge of the battery, the charger is attempting to recover battery. If this condition persists for a long time and the standard charging process is not renewed, contact your service department. The battery will have to be replaced.
Indications of individual charging steps when the charging process takes place in a standard way. If the display shows the symbol of a full battery, the battery is fully charged and the charger can be disconnected.
A failure has been detected during charging and the charging process has been broken off. Try to remove the failure by disconnecting and reconnecting the charger. If the problem persists, call the service.
Wait, the charger performs internal testing, or the temperature inside the device is not within the allowed charging range (0 to 40 °C).
USB interface active – the icon indicates that the device has been connected to the computer.
Measured value (upper and lower row) - the currently measured value(s) (or the Min/Max values) are displayed, if the corresponding symbols in the upper display section are illuminated. The unit name and the measured value symbol (1, 2, 3, 4, INT, EXT) are preset by the manufacturer, the user cannot change them. In addition, it is factory preset whether the measured value of a particular channel will be displayed in the lower or upper display unit row. On the other hand, the user has many possibilities to adjust the appearance

IE-LGR-Uxxxx-01 15
Models produced
The models produced differ from one another by types and ranges of values to be measured. The datalogger’s input channels are invariably assigned to these values. The user cannot change the type and range of the values to be measured.
U0110 One-channel thermometer
This model is equipped with only one internal temperature sensor, no additional probes and sensors can be connected. It is characterized by a simple and compact design and a relatively long response to a temperature jump. The device is placed directly in the measured space. The battery in the device cannot be charged.
U0111, U0121, U0141 One-, two- or four- channel
thermometer for external probes
This model can measure one, two or up to four temperature values transmitted by Pt1000/E series external probes. The response to a temperature jump depends on the connected probe design. As a rule, this model is few times faster than that using the inner sensor. It is often used to monitor locations where the device itself is not directly in the measuring space and only probes are in. The maximum length of each probe lead should not exceed 15 m. It is recommended to use shielded cables. To maintain the IP rating, the unused probe connectors should be provided with a supplied closing cap. The battery in the device cannot be charged.
16 IE-LGR-Uxxxx-01
U0122 Two-channel thermometer with external probe
This model allows to measure the temperature of the internal sensor and one external probe series Pt1000/E. The response to a temperature jump depends on the connected probe design but is usually much faster than the response of the internal sensor. It is often used, among other things, to monitor large areas where a device requiring individual monitoring is located. The maximum length of each probe lead should not exceed 15 m. It is recommended to use shielded cables. To maintain the IP rating, the unused probe connectors should be provided with a supplied closing cap. The battery in the device cannot be charged.
U3120 Compact thermometer - hygrometer
This model is designed to measure temperature, relative humidity and dew-point temperature by internal sensor, no additional probes or sensors can be connected. It is characterized by a simple and compact design and a relatively long response to a temperature and humidity jump, compare to model with external probes. The sensors are located under the grid on the front of the unit and are protected with Teflon foil. Foil permits water vapour but prevents water from permeating the liquid state. The device is suitable for measuring in places where there is no rapid change in temperature or relative humidity, and there is no condensation of water vapours. If water vapour condensation occurs inside the datalogger, then the resulting water will remain there and may damage its electronics. The device is placed directly in the measured space. The battery in the device cannot be charged.
It is recommended to calibrate this device in the laboratory with the unscrewed bottom lid of the box to allow the air to flow from the back of the electronics. When air flow in the range of 0.5 - 1 m/s perform reading after about 4 hours. The closed device reaches a
difference of approximately 2 %RH when inserted in the humidity chamber, then dramatically slows down. Precise reading takes many times longer time than with the open rear lid.
IE-LGR-Uxxxx-01 17
U3121 Thermometer – hygrometer for external probe
This model measures temperature, relative humidity and dew point temperature using an outdoor Comet Digi/E series probe. Its response to the temperature or relative humidity jump is significantly faster than by models with internal sensor. This model is often utilized to monitor areas in which only the probe is installed, whereas the main unit is installed elsewhere. When monitoring remote areas, the maximum probe line wire must not exceed 15 m. The Digi/E series probes provide calibrated measurement values. Hence, they may be replaced without having to modify the device setup. The battery in the device cannot be charged.
U3430 Compact thermometer – hygrometer - CO2
concentration meter
This model is designed to measure temperature, relative humidity, dew-point temperature and the concentration
of CO2 in the air by internal sensors. Barometric pressure can be measured as absolute or recalculated to sea level. No additional probes or sensors can be
connected. It is characterized by a simple and compact design and a relatively long response in the measured quantities, compare to model with external probes. The sensors are located under the grid on the front and side of the unit The device is suitable for measuring in places where there is no rapid change in temperature or relative humidity, and there is no condensation of water vapours. The device is placed directly in the measured space, Accupack in the device can be charged. As the internal battery creates a parasitic heat during the charging period, the measurement accuracy may be
affected by up to 1 º C. In battery mode, this model has
significantly shorter battery life than models without CO2 concentration measurement. For this reason, the measurement of CO2 concentration does not occur as often as the measurement of other variables. By default, this is 2 minutes with the option of extending up to 10 minutes (option available in the COMET Vision SW).
We recommend calibration of the relative humidity and temperature in the laboratory with the unscrewed
bottom lid of the box to allow the air to flow from the back of the electronics. When air flow in the range of 0.5 - 1 m/s perform reading after about 4 hours.
Due to low IP20 protection, this device is not suitable for dusty or water-borne areas.
18 IE-LGR-Uxxxx-01
U3631 Compact thermometer – hygrometer with optional
external temperature probe
This model is designed to measure temperature, relative humidity and dew-point temperature by internal sensor, moreover one additional external temperature probe Pt1000/E can be connected. Internal sensors are located under the grid on the front of the unit and are protected with Teflon foil. Foil permits water vapour but prevents water from permeating the liquid state. The
device also measures the temperature from an external probe and the difference between this temperature and the dew point temperature. If the surface temperature of the material is measured by an external probe, the risk of condensation of water vapor on the surface to be measured can be determined immediately. The device
alone is suitable for measuring in places where there is no rapid change in temperature or relative humidity, and there is no condensation of water vapours. If water vapour condensation occurs inside the datalogger, then the resulting water will remain there and may damage its electronics. The device is placed directly in the measured space. The battery in the device cannot be charged.
It is recommended to calibrate this device in the laboratory with the unscrewed bottom lid of the box to allow the air to flow from the back of the electronics. When air flow in the range of 0.5 - 1 m/s perform reading after about 4 hours. The closed device reaches a

IE-LGR-Uxxxx-01 19
U4130 Compact thermometer - hygrometer - pressure
gauge
This model is designed to measure temperature, relative humidity, dew-point temperature and barometric
pressure by internal sensors. Barometric pressure can be measured as absolute or recalculated to sea level. No additional probes or sensors can be connected. It is
characterized by a simple and compact design and a relatively long response in the measured quantities, compare to model with external probes. The sensors are located under the grid on the front and side of the unit The device is suitable for measuring in places where there is no rapid change in temperature or relative humidity, and there is no condensation of water vapours.

U4440 Compact thermometer – hygrometer - pressure
gauge - CO2 concentration meter
This model is designed to measure temperature, relative humidity, dew-point temperature, barometric pressure and the concentration of CO2 in the air by internal
sensors. Barometric pressure can be measured as absolute or recalculated to sea level. No additional
probes or sensors can be connected. It is characterized by a simple and compact design and a relatively long response in the measured quantities, compare to model with external probes. The sensors are located under the grid on the front and side of the unit The device is suitable for measuring in places where there is no rapid change in temperature or relative humidity, and there is no condensation of water vapours.

For this reason, the measurement of CO2 concentration does not occur as often as the measurement of other variables. By default, this is 2 minutes with the option of extending up to 10 minutes (option available in the COMET Vision software).
We recommend that calibration of this device in the laboratory be carried out with sufficient air flow (at least 1 m/s), but the reading should be carried out only after a thorough settling, which may take up to 4 hours. Due to low IP20 protection, this device is not suitable for dusty or water-borne areas.
IE-LGR-Uxxxx-01 21
U0541 Two-channel thermometer for external probes with
2 inputs 0 - 10 V
This model can measure up to two temperature values, which are sensed by outdoor Pt1000/0 series probes. In addition, it has two voltage inputs for monitoring voltage signal changes. Input signals are connected to a connecting block. The response to a temperature jump depends on the probe design. As a rule, this device is few times faster than the inner-sensor model. The maximum length of the temperature probe should not exceed 15 m; the maximum length of the voltage-input cable should not exceed 30 m. It is recommended to use shielded cables. The device’s ingress protection is IP 20. Due to low ingress protection the device is not suitable for using in dusty rooms or rooms exposed to water ingress. The battery in the device cannot be charged.
Connection mode:
For the procedure for connecting wires to the connecting block refer to Annex 5.
22 IE-LGR-Uxxxx-01
U5841 Datalogger with 3 inputs 0 - 10 V and 1 binary
input
This model is used to measure up to three voltage inputs 0 – 10 V DC while allowing one binary input to be monitored. The voltage inputs are not galvanically separated from one another. This means that the negative terminals ("-") are connected to each other. These facts must be taken into consideration when designing the device into the circuit. Incorrect connection may cause degradation of the measured values. Binary input serves to monitor voltage signals or signals coming from a voltage-free contact. The binary input changes are registered immediately, irrespectively of the recording interval setting. To safe record the input status, the signal must be present for at least 1 s. Binary input can capture connected/disconnected voltage status. Input signals are connected to a connecting block. The
device’s ingress protection is IP 20. Due to its low
ingress protection the device is not suitable for using in dusty rooms or rooms exposed to water ingress. The maximum length of the input wires should not exceed 30 m. It is recommended to use shielded cables. The battery in the device cannot be charged.
Connection mode:
For the procedure for connecting wires to the connecting block refer to Annex 5.
IE-LGR-Uxxxx-01 23
U6841 Datalogger with 3 inputs 0 - 20 mA and 1 binary
input
This model is used to measure up to three signals from current loops (0 to 20) mA DC while allowing one binary input to be monitored. The current inputs are passive and are not galvanically separated from one another. This means that the connected sensors cannot be powered by the current loop and the negative terminals ("-") are connected to each other. These facts must be taken into consideration when designing the device into the circuit. Incorrect connection may cause degradation of the measured values. Standard outputs (4 to 20) mA can also be measured with current inputs without any problems. Binary input serves to monitor voltage signals or signals coming from a voltage-free contact. The binary input changes are registered immediately, irrespectively of the recording interval setting. To safe record the input status, the signal must be present for at least 1 s. This input can capture connected/disconnected voltage status. Input signals are connected to a connecting block. The
device’s ingress protection is IP 20. Due to its low
ingress protection the device is not suitable for using in dusty rooms or rooms exposed to water ingress. The maximum length of the input wires should not exceed 30 m. It is recommended to use shielded cables. The battery in the device cannot be charged.

U7844 Two-channel binary-input counter
This model includes four inputs. Two of them can function as counters, and all four inputs can function as binary inputs. Both counter and binary inputs serve to monitor voltage signals or signals coming from a voltage-free contact. The binary input changes are registered immediately, irrespectively of the recording interval setting. To safe record the input status, the signal must be present for at least 1 s. Binary inputs can capture connected/disconnected voltage status. The counter states are recorded according to the set Record interval. Input signals are connected to a connecting block. The device’s ingress protection is IP 20. Due to its low ingress protection the device is not suitable for using in dusty rooms or rooms exposed to water ingress. The maximum length of the input wires should not exceed 30 m. It is recommended to use shielded cables. The battery in the device cannot be charged.
Optional input configurations:
2 x counter + 2 x binary input
1 x counter + 3 x binary input
4 x binary input
Connection mode:
For the procedure for connecting wires to the connecting block refer to Annex 5.

recording and evaluating alarms according to the device’s setting up
performed by the user. Complete device setup can be performed by the aid of the COMET Vision user software (hereinafter SW). During configuration editing the device can work normally, nevertheless the access to some functions (record download, contemporary configuration editing by other users) is limited.
How to set up the device by means of a program
Connect the datalogger to a computer, run the user SW.
If you have not operated the device in the SW yet, add it to the list of your
Comet devices. For more details, see the chapter „CONNECTING THE DATALOGGER TO A COMPUTER“.
If the device is connected properly, its current status is displayed in the Device Home panel.
Click on the Configuration button. The device configuration will be downloaded; you will be able to view it.
If you change the setup of some item, the SW will pass over into the editing mode. During the editing procedure the other users access to the device will be limited.
In case of a longer idle time the configuration editing mode will close automatically.
Finally save the new configuration into the device (Apply changes).
The device setup from a program (Configuration)
General - Information ______________________________
In this panel basic device information is available. Here is above all its name (Device name), which serves to identify the device and the measurement values it provides. You can name the device e.g. according to its location or utilization, or you can leave its original setting. The maximum length of this description, in which you can use letters, numerals, underscores and further signs, is 31 characters.
More information, which is indicated in this panel, is the device’s serial
number, model and firmware version.
IE-LGR-Uxxxx-01 27
General - Preferences _____________________________
In this panel you can choose the unit with which the device will measure the temperature (Default temperature unit °C/°F). With some devices the pressure unit can be chosen, too (Default atmospheric pressure unit). When the device does not measure the atmospheric pressure, but when it is necessary to know its value to measure some quantities (calculated humidity and CO2), the atmospheric pressure value must be entered (Default value of atmospheric pressure in the area according to altitude).
With barometers, the correction constant can be entered here for conversion to the equivalent sea level pressure. This constant can be entered either as a current pressure converted to the sea level found out e.g. at a near observatory, or through the medium of the elevation above sea level.
General - Data and Time ___________________________
Here you can set the date and time running inside the device (Date and Time). In the datalogger local current time is running according to your setting. By means of the UTC Offset choice you can fix its relation to the UTC. This information will be available for all time data provided by the device. The device cannot automatically pass over between summer and winter time.
CAUTION - after changing date and time the data recorded by the device will be deleted!
Advanced - LCD Display ___________________________
In this panel you can set a variety of display and keypad behaviour modes.
Advanced – Other settings (Keypad, Device start, Energy) _
In this panel you can set some functions of the datalogger’s buttons, a delayed switching-on of the datalogger or the control of its switching-
on by a binary input (according to type). In addition, the datalogger‘s
switching-on and/or off by a button on the datalogger panel can be enabled or disabled.
In the standard mode the datalogger measures all channels using an interval of 10 s. This interval can be shortened to 1 s when a faster measuring procedure is required. A disadvantage of this mode is a higher power consumption. When the device is operated for a long time, there is no need for a fast response to the change in the measurement values and a long battery lifetime is what matters, you can set the measurement interval to 1 minute. The CO2 concentration channel measures with a 2-minute interval and can be extended up to
28 IE-LGR-Uxxxx-01
10 minutes to save more battery life. For details concerning power consumption, see Technical parameters.
Record _________________________________________
The choices that are available in this panel serve to control the device‘s recording functions. The recording function may be switched on and off when needed (Recording with interval). However, if you switch the recording off and then you switch it on again, the memory free space may be reduced by up to 0.2 % of its total capacity. Use Cyclic record in the case that you require the device to continue recording even if the measurement data memory is filled up with data. In this case the oldest data is gradually overwritten by the newer data. If you do not use this choice, the data recording will be stopped on reaching the full storage capacity. Another important parameter is the Record interval. It can be set from 1sec/10sec/1min (according to settings in Advanced – Other settings (Energy) - Measurement Interval) to 24 hours (See Technical parameters). The recording takes place every time at integer multiples of the pre-set interval. For example, if you switch the device on at 5:05 and the recording interval has been set to 1 hour, the first data will be recorded at 6:00, the following data at 7:00 and so on.
The data recording can take place either incessantly, or only in the instant when some of the measurement values gets into an alarm condition (system alarms do not trigger the recording). Choose Record mode.
As a standard, the device records instantaneous measurement data during a period defined by the recording interval and the actual time. However, if continuous recording is enabled, the average, minimum and maximum values can be selected in the Recorded values. Caution – these Min/Max values apply only to the selected recording interval and are different from the global Min/Max values displayed on the device screen.
The record setting is completed by choosing measurement channels that are supposed to be recorded.
CAUTION - After changing cyclic non-cyclic recording (in either direction) the data recorded in the device is to be deleted! SW warns you when saving a new configuration and gives you the option to save data.
Channels_______________________________________
In this panel you can set all input channels. The assignment of the measurement value and its range to a channel is factory-set and cannot be changed. Supply a suitable name of the location to be measured for each channel and decide whether it will be switched on for measurement and for recording.
Further items, like those for entering the decimal place number, the name of the physical unit and the conversion of the measurement
IE-LGR-Uxxxx-01 29
values by means of the so-called User calibration are available in channels with voltage and current inputs only. In these inputs no physical quantity unit is displayed on the device’s LCD display. If a value cannot be displayed because of a great number of digits, it is substituted by an error message. Nevertheless, this error message concerns only the device display, not the measurement or recording.
An example of user-defined calibration for a sensor having a 4 to 20 mA current output. The sensor is connected to the
datalogger’s current input; the sensor’s measurement
range is -30 to +80 °C: Lower point A: Input value: 20 will be shown as 80
Upper point B: Input value: 4 will be shown as -30
In a channel for external Pt 1000 probes there exists the possibility to enter the probe parameters to correct the measurement error caused by the probe cable.
In binary channels you can decide whether a voltage signal or a contact (an open-collector transistor) will be connected to the input. Then enter textual descriptions of the states for both input levels. In this way the states will be displayed in the record and in the Online display. At the same time, from the menu, choose symbols for displaying these states by the device.
For a counter channel, decide whether to report an error or continue from zero after it is overflowed.
In the next step, set alarm states for each measured variable. You can set up to 2 alarms for each measured quantity (alarm 1 and alarm 2 buttons). Each alarm must be enabled (on/off) first.
Furthermore, choose whether the alarm should arise from exceeding the limit value or from dropping under it (value is greater than / value is lower than). Enter this limit value. In binary inputs, only the input state must be defined. Subsequently, the alarm delay time must be entered (for the duration of). This delay time serves to eliminate contingent momentary overshoots of the limit value. The hysteresis, too, has a similar significance (Alarm hysteresis). It prevents the alarm from oscillating in the case that the measurement value varies around the alarm limit value. It is not recommended to set it equal zero.
Thus, the setting for generating an alarm is completed. It remains to decide, whether the alarm should be indicated optically by means of a LED diode on the device (Optical signalling - LED) or acoustically (Activate internal acoustic signalling)
30 IE-LGR-Uxxxx-01
Alarm events ____________________________________
The device makes it possible to evaluate alarm situations, which can either originate from the measurement data, or they can notify of a certain device condition (exceeding the memory occupancy limit, system alarms). The individual alarm situations can be assigned the way of their signalling to the user.
An alarm originating from a measurement value is every time signalled on the device display by means of a bell icon ahead of the corresponding measurement value. General information about any alarm occurring in the device is displayed by ALARM warning on the device display (except for an exceeded memory occupancy limit, which is signalled by a flashing Memory sign).
An alarm can be signalized by a fast flashing of the LED diode on the device panel (Optical signalling - LED). In the case that only one alarm originating from a measurement value is active, a yellow LED is flashing. In the case that more alarms occur simultaneously, or a system alarm or an alarm originating from an exceeded memory occupancy limit occur, a red LED diode is flashing.
Besides, an alarm may be signalled acoustically by a characteristic sound, which is repeated at regular intervals.
The operator alerted this way can confirm the acoustical or optical (LED diode) signal and so mute it until a new alarm occurs (See the chapter Controlling the datalogger from a keypad).
Alarm events - Preferences _________________________
In the standard mode the alarm lasts only during the time when the measurement values lie outside the allowed limits. As soon as they return inside the allowed limits, the alarm will cease. In some cases, it is desirable for the user to be informed of an alarm that has occurred during his absence. If you enable the Latched alarms choice in the device setting, then every alarm occurring in the device remains active until operator intervenes, irrespective of the measurement values (i.e. until the time of manual cancel).
Moreover, alarm evaluation may be enabled here for selected days of the week only and for certain hours of the day. This setting can also be used for system alarms, but it should not be combined with the above described option Latched alarms.
IE-LGR-Uxxxx-01 31
Alarm events – Mute of signalling________________
In this panel you can enable the alarm to be deleted and deactivate the alarm signalling both from the SW and from the device keypad. Furthermore, optical (LED) or acoustical alarm signalling can be enabled/disabled here.
Alarm events - Memory occupancy___________________
Use this panel setting, if an overrun of the pre-set limit value of the data memory occupancy needs to be signalled. The signalling mode may be selected optionally as optical (by means of a LED diode) or acoustical.
Alarm events - System failure _______________________
These panel choices make it possible to set the so-called system alarms, which indicate some technical failure of the datalogger or of some of the probes connected to it. The signalling mode may be selected optionally as optical (every time by means of a red LED diode) or acoustical.
The device can respond to the following conditions:
a) Measurement error on any channel ...... e. g. a probe has been
disconnected or broken.
b) Device configuration error …... the device configuration has
been disturbed unexpectedly.
c) External power failure ...... the power supply has failed on
the USB connector (reserved for special events, when the
device is connected to a USB charger or a computer). d) Low battery …. the battery is weak. e) Time setting error or battery is discharged …. the battery has
run out of charge.

Application notes
Operation with permanently connected USB cable ______
Datalogger is primarily intended to be operated as an autonomous unit powered by its built-in batteries. Nevertheless, you can also operate it with permanently connected USB cable. In this case the device is not protected against dust and water ingress, and, consequently, it cannot be operated in locations in which such ingress protection is required. Models with CO2 concentration sensors include Li-Ion accupack that can be charged from a PC or an external charger. The datalogger’s internal charging circuitry controls the battery charging process based on its instantaneous condition, thus protecting it against damage. The charging process will run only if the device’s internal temperature ranges between 0 °C and 40 °C. If this is not the case, the battery will not charge even if the charger is connected. Other models equipped with a primary lithium battery cannot be charged.
Device switching on and off_________________________
If you switch on and off the device frequently, then its keypad and both functions, i.e. device switching on and off from the keypad, must be enabled in the device settings. Another option is to set the date and time when you want the device to turn itself on automatically. Once reached, it will be permanently switched on. For binary input dataloggers, it is possible to control the recording on and off by the level at this input (voltage or contact).
Measuring calculated humidity values_________________
From among the calculated humidity values the device can provide the dew-point temperature only. Other relevant calculated humidity values can be obtained by subsequent data processing in the SW.
What is the purpose of the system alarms and how to work with them _______________________________________
System alarms are useful for performing the functionality diagnosis of the device and of the probes connected to it. A system alarm notifies of a failure or damage of the device or of its probe. On the contrary, alarms on measurement values indicate a failure of the technology the device is monitoring.
IE-LGR-Uxxxx-01 33
Problems with measurement correctness ______________
Incorrect measurement values of temperature or relative humidity may, in most cases, be caused by an unsuitable probe location or improper methodology. Some notes concerning these problems are mentioned in the following chapter Recommendations for operation and maintenance. In probes using current and voltage outputs incorrect measurement results may be induced by latent coupling between individual components, e.g. across supply sources or through improperly connected cable shielding.
If the device indicates an error condition, see detailed information in Annex 1, selected error messages.
Another problem area relates to random peaks occurring within the measurement values. Their most frequent reason is a source of electromagnetic interference situated near the device or the pertaining cables. Attention must be paid also to possible damaged portions of the cable insulation. Prevent accidental contacts between wires and adjacent conductive parts.
Problems arising during communication with a computer __
For communication with a computer a cable should be used that is not longer than 5 m. Check that all connectors are properly seated. It is especially the USB-C connector that must be properly pushed into the receptacle. Cable disconnecting and subsequent connecting during communication can cause a temporary non-availability of the USB equipment in the computer. This may be corrected by closing the COMET Vision utility program (including the communication service) and starting it subsequently. Restart the computer, if the above mentioned measure is not the proper remedy. Check whether new HID equipment will appear in Device administrator after the device has been connected to the computer.
34 IE-LGR-Uxxxx-01
Recommendations for operation and maintenance
Datalogger operation in several application areas________
Before putting the device into operation, it should be considered, if its usage is suitable for the intended purpose. In connection with this
consideration the device‘s optimum settings should be determined. In
the case that the device is part of a larger measurement system, instructions for its metrological and operational checks should be developed
Inadvisable or hazardous applications: This datalogger is not intended for such applications in which the failure
of its functioning could directly endanger life and health of humans and animals, or the functioning of other equipment with life-sustaining functions. In applications the failure or malfunction of which could result in severe property damage it is recommended to provide the system with suitable and independent signalling equipment which is able to evaluate such a condition and, in case of failure, to prevent the above
mentioned damages (See the chapter „Safety measures and unauthorized manipulations“).
Device positioning: Adhere to principles and procedures mentioned in this manual. Try to
choose such a place to position the device, where the negative influence caused by environment is as low as possible. When performing measurements in refrigerators, metal boxes, metal chambers and the like, it is every time advisable, as far as the device’s operation and reliability is concerned, to place the device outside, leaving only the sensors and probes inside the measured environment.
Positioning of temperature sensors: These sensors should be placed in locations where sufficient air
circulation is ensured and where the most critical location is supposed (according to the application requirements). To prevent heat conduction through the sensor cables from undesirable influencing the measurement value, the sensor must be properly inserted into the measured environment. If you follow the temperature distribution in an
air-conditioned storehouse, do not place the sensor into the direct air stream generated by the air-conditioning unit. As a matter of fact, the temperature distribution in large-chamber refrigerators may be quite inhomogeneous, the temperature differences reaching up to 10 °C. Similar dispersion can be found inside deep-freezing boxes (e.g. in those used for blood preservation by deep freezing).
IE-LGR-Uxxxx-01 35
Positioning of humidity sensors: The positioning of humidity sensors depends again on the application
requirements. Humidity measurements in refrigerators without additional humidity stabilization can be very questionable. When the cooling is switched on/off, there may be significant changes in humidity in the range of tens of percent, even if the mean value is correct. Moisture condensation on the ventricle walls is common.
Recommendations for metrological checks ____________
Metrological verification is carried out according to the requirements of the particular application at intervals fixed by the user. In some cases, calibration must be performed by an independent laboratory that is accredited by the government.
Recommendations for regular checks _________________
It is recommended to check the system in which the instrument is incorporated at regular intervals. Checking interval and inspection
scope depend on the particular application and the user’s internal
regulations. In fixed installations following checks are recommended to be performed:
Metrological verification;
Regular checks fixed by the user;
Judgement of all problems that has occurred since the last check;
Visual check of the device, connectors condition, cover integrity;
Functionality check (checking of features utilized by the application):
a) Check of the transfer of the actual recorded value into the
computer, record evaluation
b) Functionality check of individual alarms. This should be done
by changing the input quantity to give rise to an alarm. Then check it visually on the display.
c) Judgement of the battery condition on the display.
Check of the cabling. To be checked: Condition of cable connections and cable surface integrity, proper cable routing, no additional parallel heavy-current conductors.
Check of all sensors. This is to be performed visually. Check for
water ingress, check for suitable sensor location with respect to correct measurement conditions and possible signal deteriorating by interference.
The check results are to be recorded.

Battery replacement procedure_____________________
WARNING - Models with CO2 concentration measurement (U3430, U4440) are powered by an internal rechargeable Li-ion accupack. Its exchange is possible only by the manufacturer or authorized service!
Battery replacement on other models can be performed only person who knows the principles of safe handling of lithium primary batteries. Do not dispose of batteries in a fire, expose them to high temperatures, low air pressure, and do not mechanically damage them. Used batteries should be taken to hazardous waste. If a weak battery symbol appears on the display during operation, it is advisable to replace the battery within 2-3 weeks. A weak battery indication may also occur if the sensor is operated at low temperatures even when the battery is still usable (outdoor use usually at night). During the day (after increasing temperatures), the low battery indication disappears. In this case, it is not necessary to change the battery. A critically weak battery that can fail at any time is indicated by the blinking empty battery symbol on the display. Replace the battery as soon as possible. Note: When the device is operating at very low temperatures, the empty battery symbol on the sensor display may not be visible.
To replace the battery, unscrew the backside lid, remove the old battery by pulling it behind the clip, and insert the new battery with the correct polarity. Refer to the battery symbol + (plus pole) printed on the electronics board at the battery location.
If you order a new battery from the manufacturer of the device (Comet System, s.r.o., order code A4203), you will also receive it with the clip. Check the seal integrity in the encoder housing and reinstall the cover.
