(3) Recording capacity
The recording capacity depends on the capacity of the SD memory card.
One logger fi le is composed of a confi guration fi le and a data fi le.
The data fi le is stored as divided by 65,500 lines for permitting high-speed access and due to
restrictions in the maximum number of lines of CSV display of Microsoft Excel.
The maximum number of data fi les in a logger is 20 fi les in case of a continuous logger, and
is 550 fi les in case of an appointed time logger. If the capacity becomes short during logging
operation, logging operation terminates with the following screen displayed.
Replace the SD memory card immediately, if this screen is displayed.
ESC
Press the
key, or remove the memory card, the message will be cleared.
Note) After reaching the maximum data fi le, the logging will stop.
Recording capacity in case an SD memory card of 256 MB is used with continuous logger
In case where the preservation period is 30 seconds and where logger data of all of 14 types is
stored, it is possible to store measured data for about a year.
In the case stated above, the measured data is divided into 16 fi les, and the capacity of a fi le is
about 15 MB.

5. POWER ON AND POWER OFF
5.1 Operating power supply
There are two methods available for energizing this instrument; by the built-in battery or with
the power adapter.
(1) Energizing with built-in battery
(1) To charge the battery
Turn OFF the instrument power and
connect the AC power adapter. The
“CHARGE” LED is lighted in red, and
“DC IN” LED is lighted in green.
When the instrument is fully charged,
"CHARGE” LED goes out.
* About 3 hours will be required for charging..
* In the fully charged condition, the instrument can measure for about 12 hours.
(On condition that the display backlight is turned off and the printer is unused Do not use
current output. the ambient temperature is near normal temperature (20°C).)
Note) The charging time of the built-in battery is 0 to +40°C. If the charging is operated beyond
that range, that will cause fever, leak, performance deterioration, short-life battery.
(2) To energize by built-in battery
When turning on the power supply without connecting the power adapter, the instrument
will be energized by the built-in battery.
Before use, the battery should be fully charged.
(2) Energizing by power adapter
CAUTION
• Use the exclusive power adapter only. Don’t use other adapters, or it may result in
an accident.
• Except the main unit (printer, power adapters, etc.), it is not protectes for dust or
waterproof.
Avoid using the product in a place where it will be exposed to water or humidity.
• AC power adapter
(1) Connect the power connector conversion
mode to the output plug for AC power
adaptor. (The products have already
been connected.)
(2) Connect the plug of the power connector
conversion mode to the 12V DC connector of the main unit. Inserts joining the
connected projection to the cutout, turns
the sleeve lock.

ENT
key.
5.3 Power OFF
(1) Power OFF by [OFF] switch
Keep pressing the [OFF] switch on the main unit for 3 seconds or
longer, to turn OFF the power.
In case where measured data is being logged to an SD memory
card, execute logging interrupt processing before turning OFF the
power.
(2) Power OFF caused by drop in capacity of built-in battery
If the fl owmeter is operated by the internal buttery, the power is
turned off after a shut down message appears when the buttery
runs down.
In case where measured data is being logged to an SD memory
card, execute logging interrupt processing before turning OFF the
power.
(3) Precautions for parameter setup change
When parameter setup is changed, parameters are stored in the internal non-volatile memory at
upon return to the measurement screen.
The stored parameters are held even when the power is turned OFF.
Caution: If the power is turned OFF without returning to the measurement screen after parameter setup changes, the parameters are not stored, and setup is required again.
CAUTION
Do not operate the main unit using an AC power adaptor in the state where the builtin battery is removed from the main unit.
• If the power cable is disconnected from the power outlet or if power failure arises
while measured data is being logged to the SD memory card, the data written to
the SD memory card may be broken.

Determine the mounting position by carrying out the following work.
For this work, gauge paper is necessary (For the gauge paper, refer to page 57).
(1) Match the edge of gauge paper with the line at
about 100mm from one end of the pipe portion
treated for detector mounting, and wind the
gauge paper so that the line marked on the paper
is parallel with the pipe axis (fi x with tape not to
allow deviation). At this time, the edge of gauge
paper should be aligned.
(2) Extending the line marked on the gauge paper,
mark straight line A on the pipe.
(3) Mark a line along on edge of the gauge paper.
The intersection of this line and straight line A is
replaced with A

When fl ow rate is extremely low, its output can
be cut off. (range: 0 to 5.000 m/s)
If fl uid in the pipe is moving due to convec-
tion, etc., even though the valve is closed, this

10.2.1 “Logger Operation” mode
There are two logging modes, i.e., quick logger that permits operation from the measurement
screen and logger that is set from the menu screen. Logger is of two different modes, i.e.,
“CONTINUOUS” mode and “SET TIME” mode.
• Quick logger
• Logger
(1) “CONTINUOUS” mode
(2) “SET TIME” mode
(1) Quick logger
The quick logger starts when quick logger start button in the measurement screen is pressed.
The quick logger exits when a period of an hour has elapsed since it was started or when quick
logger stop button is pressed.
• Logging time: 1 hour, fi xed
• Cycle: 10 seconds, fi xed
• Measured data type: 3 types (unit and number of digits after decimal point are the same) displayed in measurement screen and status display
Startbutton
Measurementscreen
(2) Logger
(1) “CONTINUOUS” mode
“CONTINUOUS” mode is the mode to perform logging in a fi xed period from start date and
time to exit date and time.
Exit occurs upon elapse of exit date and time or when the stop button is pressed. As the exit
time varies by the start time and period, there are cases where it is different from the set exit
time.
• Logging time: Start date and time to exit date and time
• Cycle: 10 seconds to 24 hours
• Measured data type type: 14 measured data types and status display

(2) “SET TIME” mode
“SET TIME” mode is the mode to perform logging in a fi xed period only during a certain time
zone of a day between the start date and exit date.
Exit occurs upon elapse of exit time of exit period or when the stop button is pressed. As the
exit time varies by the start time and period, there are cases where it is different from the set exit
time.
The difference between start time and exit time is one hour at minimum. If the start time is
earlier than the exit time, logging is performed over 0 o’clock.
• Logging period: Start date to exit date
• Logging time: Start time to end time
• Period: 10 seconds to 23 hours
• Measured data type: 14 measured data types and status display
Example) Case of setup of logging for one week from 9/1, from 9:00PM to 4:00AM
• Period: 9/1 to 9/8
• Start date and hour: 21:00

10.2.2 Logger data fi le format
One logger fi le is composed of fi les of two types indicated below. The data fi le is stored as
divided by 65,500 lines for permitting high-speed access and due to restrictions in the maximum
number of lines of CSV display of Microsoft Excel.
File type File name Remarks
Confi guration fi le (Logging name)_(date)_(hour).ini Means logger start time and relevant logger
Data fi le (Logging name)_(date)_(hour).csv Logging data in a specifi c period
The maximum number of data fi les in a logger is 20 fi les in case of a “CONTINUOUS” logger,
and is 550 fi les in case of a ”SET TIME” logger. The appointed time logger is of one fi le per
day.
Note) After reaching the maximum data fi le, the logging will be stopped.
The logger data list shows the following names excluding extension (.ini) of logger confi gura-
tion fi les.
• Logger … “Logger name_(start date)_(start hour)”
• Quick logger … “QUICK__(start date)_(start hour)”
