Operation
Setup
1. Connect the CO
the bottom of the datalogger.
2. Connect the AC adaptor to the datalogger by inserting the plug into the connector on
the bottom of the datalogger.
3. Insert the 6 AAA batteries into the battery compartment. Without these batteries
installed, the real time clock will reset every time the ac adaptor is disconnected.
Datalogging
1. Open the left side door and insert a formatted SD card
Note: The SD card should be at least 1GB in capacity (4GB to 16GB recommended)
Note: Do not use memory cards formatted by other meters or cameras. Use the SD
card formatting procedure under the advanced features section of this manual
to correctly format the card.
Note: The internal clock must be set to the correct time See the advanced features
section of this manual to set the clock.
Note: The default data structure uses a decimal point “.” as the numeric decimal
indicator. See the advanced features section of this manual to change this to a
comma “,”.
Note: If the SD memory card is not installed, “EMPTY” will appear in the display

SD Card Data Structure
1. When the SD card if first inserted into the datalogger the folder CHA01 is created.
2. The first datalogging session will then create a file CHA01001.XLS. All data will be
saved to this file until the number of columns reaches 30,000.
3. After 30, 000 columns a new file, CHA01002.XLS is created. This is repeated every
30,000 columns until CHA01099.XLS. At this point a new folder, CHA02 is created
and the process is repeated. CHA10 is the final folder.
Transferring Data to a PC
1. Remove the memory card from the datalogger and plug it into the SD card slot on the
PC.
2. Launch Excel® and open the data file on the memory card from within the
spreadsheet program. The file will appear similar to the figure below.
