1.0 INTRODUCTION

The Track-It Pressure Logger with Display and Current Transmier is a
24V DC powered waterght (IP65) compact data logger with an isolated 4
to 20mA current transmier output for pressure.

It can be configured to record both Pressure and Temperature up to
130,000 samples or Pressure alone, to maximize data storage space. Real
me data, alarms and min/max informaon can be displayed on the
mul-line LCD. The pressure transmier output current (4-20mA) can be
scaled by the user to provide maximum resoluon over the desired
pressure span. Power and mA out connecon is via a 4 pin DIN 43650
IP65 “Solenoid Valve” connector on the rear panel. The unit is easily
configured using the free downloadable Track-It PC Soware. There is a
mini-USB connector on the rear of the unit allowing connecon to a PC
for programming and data upload. Data upload can also be done with an
Android™ device using the Transporter App available on the Google
Play™ store.

The logger can be programmed to record data from once every two
seconds to once a day. The recording can be iniated by the user to
commence immediately, manually via the keypad buons, at some preset
me in the future, or on an alarm condion. Current output does not
depend on record-rate or sample-rate; it updates in real me at
approximately 8 mes per second.

The display can be programmed to display pressure in various
engineering units depending on pressure range. It can also display
temperature, minimum and maximum values, percentage of memory
used, me and date.

The display has 4½
7-segment digits to show
actual values of pressure
and temperature. There is
also a line of 4
alphanumeric digits used
to display ASCII text (e.g.
Pressure Units). The
display is oponally
backlit. If the pressure is
greater than 19999, the resoluon is set to 10 units and is indicated by
the x10 icon. The maximum value displayed is therefore 199990.

There is a bar graph at the top of the display (which can be turned off by
the user) giving an analog indicaon of values relave to 100% which is
the full scale value of the sensor. Note that in the pressure offset mode
the bar graph indicates the absolute value of the pressure as a funcon of
full scale.

In addion to these values, the display can be scrolled using the e or f
buons and may show (depending on configuraon) minimum and
maximum values of pressure and temperature, date as day/month
(24.07) or month/day (07.24), me in 12 or 24 hour format (12 hour
format will be indicated by AM or PM – 08:30 AM), and memory usage as

There are a number of unique opons specifically for this Display
Pressure Logger with Current Transmier which are covered in the
following secons.

8.1 Preferences

Select “Preferences” then the “Eng Units” tab. You will see the
pop-up box shown below.

These Engineering Units apply to the data read from the Logger and
displayed on the graph or in the data table.

13

Find Quality Products Online at: [e-mail]

www.GlobalTestSupply.com

If the “Units from Logger” box is checked - the selecon of
engineering units here is ignored and the engineering units used will
be as set by default in the Logger. If the “Units from Logger” box is
unchecked, then the unit selected here will override that set in the
Logger.

8.2 Input Setup

Under the “Device Setup” tab select the “Input” tab and the “Chan
1” tab.

This seng allows the user to select the default engineering units
that will be displayed on the Logger LCD Display. Note that not all
engineering units are available; it depends on the full-scale range of

14

Find Quality Products Online at: [e-mail]

www.GlobalTestSupply.com

the pressure sensor, as some values will be too large to display on
the Logger. Note also that these units may be changed locally at the
Logger if the menu is set up to allow this. See secon 8.5 Menu

Setup.

The units selected here will be used when reading data from the
Logger unless overridden in the Preferences menu.

The Pressure channel cannot be disabled – the Logger will always
record Pressure.

Note that selecng anything other than “Instantaneous” for Sample
Mode (the Logger only takes a reading at the Record Rate) will cause
the Logger to take readings at the highest sample rate .

The “Chan 2” tab is similar but for the Temperature channel. The
Temperature channel can be disabled in which case the Logger will
only record Pressure, not Temperature and Pressure.

8.3 Output Setup

The current output can be scaled by the user. Under the “Device
Setup” tab select the
“Output” tab. This will
display the seng for
the current output of
the aached device.
The user can set the
pressure values
corresponding to the
4mA or zero scale and
20mA or full scale

15

Find Quality Products Online at: [e-mail]

www.GlobalTestSupply.com

output. The logger will scale the output linearly to pressure between
the two set points.

If “Default” is checked the output will be 4mA at 0 pressure and
20mA at the full scale pressure of the device. The scaling cannot be
changed in default mode. The pressure is set and shown in the units
selected under the “Input” tab.

The sengs from the aached device can be refreshed using the
“Read from Device” buon if not in default mode.

NOTE: The new sengs will not be updated in the device unl the
user sends a configuraon file using the “Send Config” buon.

8.4 Display Setup

Under the “Device Setup” tab select the “Display” tab.

These sengs allow the user to decide what is displayed on the
Logger LCD display and defines the funcon of the LED.

16

Find Quality Products Online at: [e-mail]

www.GlobalTestSupply.com

The “Display List” column shows the available funcons that are
available to be displayed on the Logger. The “LCD Display” column
are the funcons that will be displayed on the Logger. The user can
move the opons between the columns by selecng the opon
(clicking on it) and using the arrow keys. Note that Pressure cannot
be moved from the LCD display.

“Decimal Places:” will define how the data is displayed. Auto will
always use the maximum number of digits available.

“LCD Time Out:” determines how long the LCD display will be on
before blanking.

The “Time:” and “Date:” formats can be selected as shown.

The “Display Average” checkbox enables the real-me update to be
a rolling average of the last four readings. This will quiet a noisy
display but does affect the response of the readout.

8.5 Menu Setup

Under the “Device Setup” tab select the “Menu” tab.

This seng allows the user to determine which menu funcons
appear in the Normal menu and which appear in the Admin menu.
Menu items will appear in the Logger menus in the order of top to
boom in the lists. By highlighng a menu item (clicking on it) the
user can manipulate its posion using the arrow buons. The Zero
Mode cannot be moved from the Admin menu.
