Monarch Instrument Track-It USB Loggers with Display User Manual

Track-It TM USB Data Logger Instructions

The Track-It
logger that can record up to 2 channels of data. It has a wide range of triggering and
alarm options as well as differing input options. It has a built in LCD display to view
data in the field. It works in conjunction with the Track-It
plugs directly into a USB port on the PC to allow programming, upload data and display
data in real time (certain modes only).

LCD Display:

The LCD display show status and real time information and is user programmable via
the Track-It
display is energized when the push button is pressed and will shut off after a
predetermined time as programmed. The following information may be shown on the
display (user programmed) - each button press will show the next value.

Real Time Values for one or both channels in engineering units releva nt to the logg er
type. Engineering units are °C, °F, %RH, A, V, mA, mV, Hz, RPM. What is visible is
dependent on the device you have and how it is programmed.

Icon Indications:

Bell = On steady if any alarms are enabled. Blinks if any alarm is detected.

Up arrow (High Alarm), Down arrow (Low Alarm) = Blinks if any high/low alarm occurred and is current. On steady if any
high/low alarm has been detected since the recorder was configured. The unit does not have to be recording for the alarms
to be monitored. Alarms can be reset by the user - see below.

REC = On steady if recording is enabled but the unit is not currently recording,(Armed but not recording). Blinking if
currently recording data - triggered by any source (timers, alarms, button toggle).

Battery Condition – Shows Full (Solid), Half and Empty. Blinks when battery is too low to operate reliabl y.

LED:

The LED (Light Emitting Diode) can be programmed to blink when the unit is waiting to record, when the unit is recording (Green blink)
or when there is an Alarm condition (Red blink). The blink period (time between blinks) is user programmable. Note that enabling the
LED increases the drain on the battery.

Push Button:

The button function is programmable using Track-It TM PC Software.

Short press (0 - 1 second) will activate the LCD view. Successive short presses will rotate the views as programmed.

Press and hold - (1 - 2 seconds…LED blinks) – Releasing the button during this int erval (if enabled by program) resets any alarms
(holds/latches, arrow indications) and will stop any alarm triggered recordings currently active. The display will indicate rSt for reSet.

Continue to hold - (2 - 3 seconds…LED blinks again) – Releasing the button dur ing this interval (if enabled by progr am) toggles recor d
mode. If the unit is currently recording it will stop the recording. If the unit is currently NOT recording it will start recording. Note: Other
events may impact the record mode if they have been set to trigg er the recording. This button will not stop any recording started by
other triggers. Display will show rCOn for record on or rOFF for record OFF.

Continue to hold until LED third blink – no change in logger operation.

Analog Input:

Most Track-It TM Data Loggers have the ability to measure up to 2 channels of analog inputs (4-20mA, 0-5Vdc etc) using external
analog modules that plug onto the USB connector. These may be purchased from your dealer and ar e programmed using the Track-It

TM

PC Software.

NOTE: Analog recordings are made via the USB connector. If possibl e (button programmed) ST OP RECORDING before plugging the
recorder into the PC so as not to record the USB signals, otherwise use the Track-It

TM

Software "Stop Recording" button under the

Device Setup tab as soon as the device is plugged into the PC.

Protection:

The data Logger comes with a rubber bo ot that can be installed to
protect the USB connector and provide some degree of bump and
splash protection. The unit should have the boot installed when
traveling. The button can be operated when the boot is in place. The
boot cannot be fitted when analog modules are attached. The unit
should not be immersed in liquid.

Track-It TM PC Software:

The Track-It TM PC Software allows the Data Logger to be programmed, allo ws the data to be retrieved, displayed, saved to disk or
exported to Excel
advanced modes for programming the Data Logger. Some of the features are:

• Delayed recordings, fixed duration recordings by time or numb er of samples, multiple record times, manual record by button
press, record on alarms.

• Sample rates from 2 seconds to 24 ho urs. Instantaneous, average, maximum or minimum values.

• Two Alarms, high or low, latched or momentary and record under these alarm conditions

• Input scaling and offset for analog modules. Engineering unit selection for internal sensors.

• Button functions, LED functions and LCD display functions.

• Display of data graphically, digitally or tabular formats with alarm indication.

• Export user selected data in Excel

• Simple setup (single screen) or advanced mode.

TM

. Data can also be displayed in real time (on device s using internal sensors). The software has both simple and

TM

or CSV formats. Filter data to be exported.

Replacing the Battery

To replace the battery - loosen the two screws on the back of the Logger and remov e the bottom case half. Cauti on - the screws have
small plastic washers. There are two battery options. Replace the relevant battery then replace the cover and the screws.

Option 1 - Coin Cell CR2032 3.0V Option 2 - Lithium Thionyl Chloride EF651625 3.6V (LTC-7PN)
