The Multilogger has been designed for measuring and recording physical and
electric quantities with an adjustable logging interval from 1 second to 24 hours.
The device is equipped with 4 inputs (connectors) for external probes or
signals. Moreover, some versions also include an internal atmospheric
pressure and/or CO2 concentration sensor. The production line consists of
several models with various combinations of the input ranges of the measured
quantities.
Getting started
Before putting the Multilogger into operation it is necessary to set up the device
inputs in accordance with connected probes and for the required measuring
ranges. This settings can be performed only using a computer with the
COMET Vision software.

Install the Comet Vision software that is available at www.cometsystem.cz
to your computer. Launch installer and follow the instructions. If you
purchased a license for full version, register it.
The minimum hardware and software requirements:
- Windows 7 and later or Windows Server 2008 R2 and later
- 1.4 GHz processor
- RAM 1 GB
Connect the appropriate probes or signals to the inputs as described in the
last part of this manual.
The Multilogger (with the exception of version M1200E) is supplied with
included pre-charged NiMH batteries. Switch on the device - push the red
switch button and check the battery status in the menu System Information
(click Enter – Next). The value should be over 60%. If you do not change
the device settings, the batteries will be automatically recharged during
device operation in case of a connected the external AC adapter.
Launch the installed software Comet Vision and connect the Multilogger
with PC via USB interface using supplied cable. The device is automatically
added to the list and thus is ready for further communication with SW:
Click the button Configuration and then click Inputs. List of inputs will be
displayed:

This panel shows the configuration of the new device with the factory
settings. For each input is shown the current type of connected probe or its
measuring range.
Change the settings of the selected input is possible by pressing Settings
icon:
Here it is possible in the dropdown menu to change the type of probe
connected to the device input and to assign the appropriate input name for the
easier orientation. For each type of probe there is available different list of
4 IE-MLG-quick-04
measured quantities of which can be selected as user needs. Clicking to Finish
the newly selected measured quantities will be assigned to the currently free
channels. The maximum number of channels, with which the Multilogger can
operate is 16. Then you can continue to set next input.
In the line of each measured variable (ie. channel), you can change its other
settings (eg. Alarm limits, alarms indication, the channel recording, etc.). For
these settings, use Alarm1, Alarm 2 and Edit icon.
In these settings, pay attention to the least the following items:
check and, if necessary, correct date and time in the Multilogger (option
General / DateTime)
set the required recording interval and start of recording (option Record)
If the device will be connected to the Ethernet, set the parameters
according to the information from your IT administrator (Ethernet option)
All the settings can be saved to the device by clicking on the Apply Changes.

Connection of probes and measured signals to the device inputs
Manufactured models differ from each other by their input ranges and by
input connectors. There are three types of connectors / terminals:
MiniDIN connector ____________________________________________
It is used for connection of the DigiS/M…, DigiL/M…, Pt1000/M probes and
for external CO2 probe. Plug properly oriented
probe connector to the input of Multilogger. You
can follow the optical key for correct position. The
input connector marked “CO2” is designed for
external CO2 probe only.
Universal thermocouple connector _______________________________
Plug properly oriented connector to the input of Multilogger. The connector
is mechanically coded using a wider pin and can be plugged in one position
only. Make sure that the wires of probes and measuring
junctions are not electrically connected to any other
conductive parts! Electrical coupling among thermocouples
can cause large measurement errors or instable values! To
obtain correct measurement values, the Multilogger has to be
temperature-stabilized!
Two voltage ranges are available on each universal
thermocouple connector for measuring small voltages. Use
the white uncompensated connector connected according to
the picture in this case.
Connection terminals __________________________________________
Inputs (0 to 20) mA, (0 to 10) V, binary inputs and the counter are equipped
with a two-part, self-locking WAGO terminal block. Insert flat-bladed
screwdriver to rectangle terminal hole and push screwdriver towards away
from you - contact is released. Insert wire to
released terminal (circular hole behind the
rectangular one) and close the terminal by
removing the screwdriver.
The terminal block can be removed from the
device without the need to disconnect
individual wires!
