5. Each file can store up to 30,000 data points. When the number of data points reaches
30,000 the system will create a new file automatically. (For example, WTA01001.XLS will
be replaced by WTA01002.XLS)
6. Press the REC KEY twice to stop datalogging
7. Instructions are provided elsewhere in this manual for exporting the stored data to a
spreadsheet on a PC

6.0 Maintenance
CAUTION: Remove test leads before opening the battery cover; Electrical Shock Hazard.
6.1 Cleaning
CAUTION: When cleaning, use only a dry cloth. Do not use liquids of any kind to clean the
meter.
6.2 Battery Replacement
1. When the display shows the " LOWBAT " indicator ( ref. 5-10), replace the batteries as
soon as possible
2. Open the Battery Cover (3-19, Fig. 1) and remove the batteries
3. Replace the eight (8) batteries (1.5Vdc ‘AA’ batteries) and close the battery cover
You, as the end user, are legally bound (Battery ordinance) to return all used batteries
and accumulators; disposal in the household garbage is prohibited!
You can hand over your used batteries / accumulators at collection points in your
community or wherever batteries / accumulators are sold!

7.0 PC Interface
,
7.1 RS-232 Serial PC Interface Protocol
The meter is equipped with a 3.5mm diameter
phone jack (3-16, Fig. 1) for PC interface purposes.
The output is a 16 digit data stream. The 16 digit
data stream is configured as follows:
1. After a Datalogging session, remove the SD card from the SD card socket (Section 3, item
3-15)
2. Plug the SD card into a PC SD card slot or into an SD card adapter
3. Power the computer and run spreadsheet software. Download the stored data file from the
SD Card to the PC (file name examples: 3P401001.XLS, 1P201001.XLS, 1P301001.XLS,
3P301001.XLS)
4. The data files can be opened directly into a spreadsheet program
