The SMART LOGGER is a portable gas detector. It employs interchangeable SMART BLOCK sensor modules, which can be chosen to detect oxygen (O2) or a toxic gas (O3, CO, H2S, CL2, SO2, NO, NO2, NH3, HCL, HCN, CLO2, H2, CH2OCH2, ...). At any time, the SMART BLOCK can be changed and the instrument thus modified to correspond to the nature of the risk to be detected. The instrument and an array of SMART BLOCKS are shown in Figure 1, and the nomenclature and features of the instrument are given in Figure 2.
The instrument triggers a repetitive audible and visual alarm as soon as there is:
- An increase or decrease of oxygen, with the oxygen SMART BLOCK installed:
- Threshold overstepped, with a toxic SMART BLOCK installed: + Instantaneous: Authorized instantaneous maximizing value + STEL: Short term exposure limit (average on a period of 15 minutes) + TWA: Term weight average (average on a period of 8 hours) TWA, STEL and instantaneous thresholds are preset in the factory. The table below gives the ranges, resolutions, and alarm
set points for the various sensors. The instrument triggers a steady audible and visual alarm as soon as there is:
- An anomaly (electronic fault, SMART BLOCK fault)
- An insufficient power supply (discharged primary cell or rechargeable battery)

An audible and visual "confidence beep" every 30 seconds indicates that the instrument is on and working. In a very noisy place, an earphone can be connected to the instrument. The SMART LOGGER is certified for use in a flammable atmosphere according to European rating, Ex EE ia IIC T4. This
is equivalent to Class I, Div. 1, Groups A, B, C, and D in the NEC.

2.0 Start-Up2.0 Start-Up
2.1 Power Supply
The power supply is either a 9v standard or alkaline primary cell type 6F22, or a rechargeable battery. The instrument is supplied from the factory with the NCMH battery and a charger. The instrument is certified for a use in a flammable atmosphere only when it is equipped with a specified primary cell or battery.
Since the SMART BLOCK draws a small amount of bias current when the instrument is off, it is advisable to charge the instrument when it is not used, even for a relatively short period of time. An instrument with a rechargeable battery, when off, depletes a fully charged battery in approximately 7 days. If the rechargeable battery is deep discharged repeatedly, the energy capacity of the battery is reduced. An instrument with an alkaline battery, when off, depletes a new battery in approximately 30 days.
2.2 Installation of the Battery
The battery is shipped as a separate item. To install it, unscrew the rear cover mounting screw to access to the battery compartment. The cell is connected to the circuit with a spring loaded connector. Charge the battery after installing it; see below.
2.3 Smart Block Acclimation
The battery has not been installed, so the SMART BLOCK does not draw a bias current during shipment. After installing the battery, the SMART BLOCK must become acclimated before use. The time required to acclimate a SMART BLOCK depends upon the type of SMART BLOCK, and ranges from a few minutes for a CO or H2S SMART BLOCK to a day for an HCl SMART BLOCK. The SMART BLOCK is being acclimated while the instrument is off. When the instrument is turned on and not auto zeroed, an acclimated SMART BLOCK gives a stable reading near zero to within ± 10% of the upper range of the instrument. Do not auto zero an instrument until the cell is acclimated; see below.
2.4 Changing
Plug the charger into a 110VAC wall socket. With the instrument off, plug the charger connector into the CHARGE/PRINT connector on the top of the SMART LOGGER; charge the battery for 12-14 hours. When the instrument is turned on and then the charger is disconnected, the auto zero feature is automatically activated. If auto zero is not desired, leave the instrument off when disconnecting the charger. The instrument must be in a clean atmosphere when auto zero is activated.
2.5 Installation of Change of a Smart Block
Accomplish this operation carefully in a safe atmosphere.
- Turn the instrument off. Remove the cover, and extract the SMART BLOCK.
- Plug in the new SMART BLOCK. The connector is keyed. Replace the cover.
- Allow the SMART BLOCK to acclimate; do not auto zero until it is.
2.6 Earphone
An earphone may be adapted for use with the CHARGE/PRINT mini-DIN plug. The earphone chosen must be commensurate with intrinsic safety requirements. See Section VI, below, for maximum allowable inductance and capacitance.
2.7 Remote Sampling
The measurement of toxic gas concentrations, before entry into a confined space or in places where the access is difficult, can be done with a remote sampling probe.
- In the ring groove provided for this purpose, install the pneumatic remote sampling system as indicated in Figure 2.

3.6 Connection to a Printer
The SMART LOGGER keeps the following data in memory:
- Events, such as alarms, resets, faults, etc.
- Measurements for a duration of 120 working hours. This duration may be reduced by a proliferation of memorized events. So you can output statistical charts on a printer, connection is made with the CHARGE/PRINT mini-DIN plug located on top
of the instrument by means of the printer cable. The printer must be of the serial type compatible with an IBM-PC.
- Plug in the connecting cable between the SMART LOGGER and the printer
- Turn the printer on, configure it, position "on line." See Section VI.
- Turn the SMART LOGGER on with the ON/OFF switch
- Press the OPTION sw itch, which starts the printing process The display indicates:
PRINTING
If the instrument working duration has been less than 15 minutes, only the events are printed in chart form. For a duration of 16 minutes or more, the events are followed by a histogram representing the measurements, as shown below.

ENMET Corporation SMART LOGGER
The histogram displays a line every quarter of an hour, representing the average value of gas concentration during that time. The time scale indicates the hours since turn on. With the SMARTCOM software and a software data basis type (LOTUS, EXCEL), it is possible to obtain a curve minute by minute.
ATTENTION: When the instrument is ON, and the connecting cable between the SMART LOGGER and the printer is removed, all data is cleared from the memory, and the display indicates:
M CLEAR
The SMART LOGGER then returns at the normal mode. To avoid erasing the data stored in the instrument memory, turn OFF the SMART LOGGER before removing the printer cable. Note that the printout process reduces the life of the battery. It is advisable to recharge the battery before and after the
printing process.
3.7 Connection to a PC
The SMART LOGGER can be connected to a IBM compatible computer with the use of the SMARTCOM software. The connection is done with the CHARGE/PRINT mini-DIN plug located on top of the instrument by using the computer cable.
The SMARTCOM software offers different menus allowing an optimal use of the SMART LOGGER:
- Calibration menu: allows an automatic execution of the calibration processes.
- Historical menu: analysis and storage of the events in the files.
- Maintenance menu: modification of the instantaneous alarm thresholds.
- Fault menu: analysis of the faults and the solutions.
- Print menu: edits the instrument control sheet.
4.0 Maintenance4.0 Maintenance
4.1 Servicing
Auto Zero: This process is explained in Section III, USE, on page 3, and should be executed regularly and particularly after the change and acclimation of a SMART BLOCK. This process must be done in a clean atmosphere; otherwise, the SMART BLOCK sensitivity is likely to be erroneous. When the charger is disconnected while the instrument is on, Auto Zero is automatically activated.
4.2 Calibration Verification
The only way to verify the gas detection capability is calibration verification executed with a standard gas. This operation should be done every 3 or 6 months, and when the instrument has been exposed to exceptionally high gas concentrations during use, and if the instrument has been stocked for a long period of time.
4.3 Calibration
Actual calibration is best executed with the SMARTCOM software; the calibration menu permits an automatic adjustment of the zero and the sensitivity of the SMART BLOCK. Follow the indications given by the SMARTCOM help screens.
Note that the SMARTCOM software provides useful update information, such as the dates of calibration and the SMART BLOCK wear rates. It also allows the editing of control sheets. We advise that users who do not possess the SMARTCOM software send SMART BLOCKS to authorized repair depots for recalibration.
8
SMART LOGGER ENMET Corporation
It is possible to execute calibration by adjustment of the potentiometer located on the side of the SMART BLOCK, as described below. This process is reserved for the users without access to the software and with time constraints which require immediate use of the instrument. Since the potentiometer adjustment changes the calibration settings but does not update the information in memory in the SMART BLOCK, both features and accuracy may be affected. Such a SMART BLOCK should be returned to an authorized repair depot for recalibration with the software as soon as practical.
- execute an auto zero turn-on in a clean area
- open the SMART BLOCK cover
- place the standard gas nozzle in contact with the SMART BLOCK
- regulate the output at 1 liter per minute
- wait for stabilization of the display – adjust the potentiometer to make the displayed value correspond with the known concentration of the gas.
4.4 Maintenance
- The instrument can become electrostatically charged, so clean only with a damp cloth.
- Recharge the battery regularly or change the primary cell out of a classified area.
- The lithium primary cell must be changed every 3 or 5 years; as follows: For users having SMARTCOM software, the operation should be executed by authorized personnel, as follows:
- Unscrew the sensor cover screw.
- Remove the lithium primary cell which is located under the display and put a new one.
- Reprogram the date and time with SMARTCOM software. For users who do not possess SMARTCOM software, return the instrument to your supplier or an authorized repair depot.
