1.2 F U N K T I O N A L I T Y

The EnDaL smart is a universal data logger. Developed for long-term measurement

applications, it is perfectly suited for the monitoring of transport goods and critical environments.
The integrated sensor system for the detection of shock events and for the measurement of
temperature, humidity, air pressure, and inclination enables a wide range of different
measurement applications.
Configured alarm thresholds ensure the reliable detection of exceedances of limit values. The

possibility of position determination of the EnDaL smart at events and time-

controlled allows both the verification of the transport route and a precise localisation of critical
transport processes.

The up to 15,000 recorded position data sets,
including speed and direction, can be
imported afterwards into Google Earth or
similar software and be evaluated.

The compact and network-independent design enables
simple fixing on or in transport goods and transport devices.
The case of the device protects against dust and splash water
(degree of protection IP 65) and thus is also suitable for the

exterior use. Thanks to this, the EnDaL smart can be

universally used as an almost invisible goods companion in the
international transport of goods, in storage rooms, at reloading
points and during transport by rail, by roads as well as by water
and by air.

The power supply is realised by customary, exchangeable alkaline or lithium batteries. Thanks
to very low current consumption and associated very long, maintenance-free operating time, the

EnDaL smart is perfectly suited for self-sufficient long-term applications. Energy-

optimised operating settings render possible a self-sufficient operational time of up to one year
under rough ambient conditions.

INTRODUCTION EnDaL smart

The licence-free configuration software Analyzer enables a simple and intuitive

configuration of the devices. It offers a comprehensive adjustment of the device functions to your
application-specific requirements. Besides the detailed evaluation of the device data in measured
value tables and graphs, the programme also provides export functions for external applications
(e.g. Microsoft Excel).

environmentally damaging substances.

Used batteries must be immediately removed from the device and be disposed of in an
environmentally friendly manner, according to the applicable legislation. Lithium batteries are
hazardous waste.

Battery operation

The power supply is ensured in the EnDaL smart by means of 2 exchangeable

alkaline or lithium batteries (type C|R14). These can be bought in specialized stores according to
the specification stated in the instruction manual.

When lithium batteries are used on transport, the EnDaL smart must be labelled as

hazardous material of class 9, according to the Worldwide UN classification. The transport
conditions resulting due to this must be taken into account!

Please take into account that when using alternative battery types the functionality of the device
cannot be guaranteed in the entire specified temperature range from -40 to 85 °C.

ATTENTION!

Use only intrinsically safe batteries.

In case of non-compliance with the national regulations/laws applicable in the handling of

lithium batteries, any liability and warranty claim becomes void!

Decommissioning

In case of decommissioning the devices must be properly switched off and all batteries must be
removed from the cases and be disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner.

E n D a L s m a r t

For the operation of the device, there is an “On/Off” key and a “status” key. The “On/Off” key
serves to activate and to deactivate the device. The “status” key serves to request a simple visual
status output. For the visualisation of the possible statuses, there are 3 LEDs available at the
device.

Checking the on-state of the device

In order to determine whether the EnDaL smart is switched on or off, briefly press

the On/Off key:

Green active-LED does not light up  the device is OFF

Green active-LED briefly lights up  the device is ON

Switching on the device

To switch on the EnDaL smart, press the On/Off key (~1 second) until the green LED lights up.
After that, release the key. Subsequently, the device starts recording data.

If the device is provided with a switch-on/switch-off code, it can only be activated via the
software. In order to signalise this, the active LED and the alarm-LED begin to flash when the
On/Off key is pressed for a longer time (~1 second). If no activation is carried out via the
software, the device switches of again after 20 seconds. In order to activate the device, connect it
to a PC while the active and the alarm-LEDs are flashing, and start the Analyzer.
When reading out the device, it is recognised that the device is password-protected. At this point
you are requested to enter the device password. Follow the instructions of the software in order to
switch on the device.
Explanations for the configuration of the switch-on/switch-off code can be found in chapter

4.3.11 in the paragraph „Password configuration“

Switching off the device

To switch off the EnDaL smart, keep the On/Off key pressed. After a short time, the red alarm­LED will start to flash. If you continue to keep it pressed, it will light permanently. Now it can be
released. Then the device switches off. This can be verified by briefly pressing the On/Off key or
the status key.

If the On/Off key is released while the alarm-LED is flashing, the device remains switched on.
