Any other use or use beyond what is specified or a modification of the device shall be deemed to be not for the intended purpose and is not permitted without the express written consent of the manufacturer. The manufacturer shall not be held liable for any damages that may result from such unauthorised use or modification. The operator alone bears the associated risk.

Note: The manufacturer is not liable for data loss of any kind if the device is damaged and data is not able to be stored correctly.

Note: The integrated SIM chip provides a mobile communications connection to a variety of international service providers. In order to be able to utilise all functions of the device, you must ensure that the device is located in the service area of one of these service providers. You can find a list of all supported countries and associated service providers under www.nivus.com. A Managed Service contract with NIVUS GmbH is required for use of the mobile data transmission (see www.nivus.com). This includes the provisioning of the mobile communications connection via the network of the service provider included in the above-mentioned list.

4.7 General product information

The device is a compact, portable instrument for recording and transmitting analogue and digital signals. There are 4 universal inputs available, which can be operated in various analogue and digital modes. Additionally, an one wire bus is available for connecting an external temperature sensor. 2 output channelsare also available. One of the two directlyswitches the sensor supply. The other is a galvanised isolated switch contact. Both output channels can be configured independently so that they can each be switched by the device prior to a measurement (to supply the sensor) or they can be switched wirelessly from a central location. All of the input measurement data is temporarily saved to an internal data memory along with the output statuses and are then wirelessly transmitted to a centrallocation at freely selected intervals. The device is also configured via this connection. The device is equipped with an integrated SIM chip. If the optional SIM/USB option is available, the device can also be configured via the USB interface.

4.9 Installation of replacement and wear parts

Please be advised that replacement and accessory parts that have not been supplied by the manufacturer have also not been inspected or approved by it. Installing or using such products and similar can constructivelymodify the specified propertiesof the device in a negative way. The manufacturer shall not be liable for any damages that arise from the use of non-original parts and non-original accessory parts.

4.10 Storage of the product

Ensure that all of the relevant data has been transmitted to the Device to Web server before storing the NivuLog Easy . If necessary initiate the ALOHA transmission mode using the magnetic contact (see "ALOHA transmission mode" on page 17) and then check again that all relevant data has been transmitted. If you are using an external charging voltage to charge the accu pack of the NivuLog Easy , disconnect this from the device before removing the accuor battery pack. The remaining cables and antenna can then be removed. Store the NivuLog Easy and accuor battery pack in the compartments provided in the original packaging.

The configuration and most recently determined data are retained. However, the systemclock will not continue to work without an energy supply. This means that following recommissioning, the time must be synchronised to ensure that measurement and log data timestamps are correct. This occurs automatically either when the first connection is established with the Device to Web server or when the NivuLog Easy is connectedto the PC. For this purpose, the optional SIM/USB option and DeviceConfig configuration program are required.

4.11 Obligation of the operator

WARNING:

Chapter 5 Functional Principle

5.1 ALOHA transmission mode

ALOHA transmission mode is a special connection mode whereby the NivuLog Easy creates a connection to the Device to Web server for a period of time configured using the "Basic settings" configuration section (see "Aloha/wake-up duration" in chapter "Basicsettings" on page 58).

There are two optionsfor initiating the ALOHA transmission mode:

l Directly on the device by meansof the solenoid switch (see "Solenoid switch" on page 37) or button

(see "Buttons" on page 36).

l Via the Device to Web sever if the "Interval & Wakeup" connection type has been selected (see "Basic

settings" on page 58).

A speech bubble in the measurement device list (see "Device to Web Server Manual " - upon request) with the title "Aloha" indicates that a device is in ALOHA transmission mode.

Clicking on the speech bubble with the "Aloha" title opens the ALOHA data window (see "Device to Web Server Manual " - upon request). It includes the internal"voltage", "GSM level"and "battery" measurement values, as well as the measurement values of the 4 universal inputs. The measurement values for the last thirty minutesare always shown in the ALOHA data window, this can mean that data from a previous ALOHA transmission is included. The ALOHA data is generated every three seconds independentlyof the normal measurement valuesthat are generated and is thus not saved with the standard measurement data.

If a measurement dataset is recorded during ALOHA transmission mode, it is immediately transmittedto the Device to Web server and saved in the standard measurement data.

Chapter 7 Installation

5. Affix blind plugs to all of the cable screw connectionsthat are not required.

Important note: All unused cable screw connections on the NivuLog Easy must be sealed watertightly using the blind plugs supplied. Otherwise the degree of protection for the entire device is not guaranteed and the manufacturer's warranty is void.

6. Insert the accu or battery pack into the NivuLog Easy and secure it with the appropriate mounting.

7. Connect the antenna (see "Connecting the GSM antenna" on page 27). The antenna is not included in the scope of delivery and must be ordered separately.

8. Connect the accu or battery pack to the supply connector. The status LED should then start to flicker (see "Status LED" on page 35), indicating that a connection is being established.

The following step is not mandatory.

9. Check whether the connection to the Device to Web has functioned correctly (see "Testing the communication with the device" on page 32).

10. Close the housing cover. The best option is to tighten all four of the screws crosswise so that the housing cover is positioned evenly.

Important note: Ensure that the seals are clean and intact before closing the housing cover. Remove any foreign bodies and/or dirt. The manufacturer will not be liable for any damage to the device caused by leaky or faulty seals.

The following step is onlynecessary if you are using an external charging voltage for the accu pack:

11. Now switch on the external charging voltage.

7.4.2 Connecting the GSM antenna

Important note: To ensure the correct functionality, only use antennas that are supplied by the manufacturer.

The standard antenna is directly attached to the antenna connector (see "Overview" on page 13) of the NivuLog Easy . In the event of a low radio signal strength, you can use the Flat antenna Smart Disc FME-F ( upon request).

If the distance between the antenna position and the NivuLog Easy is too great, you can use a 5 m Extension for ANT900 FME (NLM0ANTVER05).

1. Ensure that the NivuLog Easy is de-energised.

2. If you need an antenna extension, connect this to the antenna first.

3. Connect the antenna extension or antenna directly to the antenna connection of the NivuLogEasy (see "Overview" on page 13)

Important note: Do not apply too much force when tightening the antenna. Do not use any tools to tighten the antenna or antenna extension; only tighten it manually.

4. Switch the power supply of the NivuLog Easy back on.

The following step is not mandatory.

5. Check whether the connection to the Device to Web has functioned correctly (see "Testing the communication with the device" on page 32).

7.4.5 Technical details regarding energy management

The device will work until 3,1V, if the NivuLog Easy is operated without an external charging voltage (Vin). It then switches to energy-saving mode in which only the charge controller is active. If an external charging voltage (Vin) is supplied in this mode, the accu pack can be charged up again. Otherwise the NivuLog Easy remainsin energy-saving mode until the accu pack is completely discharged.

When an externalcharging voltage (Vin) is used, the charge controller ensures that the accu pack is charged. It is therefore necessary to select the type of accu used in the input screen of the device configuration (see "Device-specific settings" on page 62). If a type of accu packis selected that is also assigned the title "solar", the accu pack is constantly charged (recommended if a solar field is used to charge the accu pack). For all of the other accu pack type settings, the accu pack is always charged to the maximum voltage, after which charging is switched off and only reactivated when V reached (used to optimise the service life of the accu pack).

All types of accu packs are only recharged if the ambient temperature does not have an impact on the permissible range of the charging temperature. The permissible charging temperature is specified in the factsheet for the relevant accu pack. Chapter "Accu and battery packs" on page 71 contains an overview of the temperature ranges for several accu packs.

Note: Please be aware that some of the compatible accu packs cannot be charged at sub-zero temperatures. Select an appropriate accu pack if you are expecting low temperatures during operation.

Utilise the manual to familiariseyourself with the operation of the NivuLog Easy and the input screens of the Device to Web-Server before you begin with the configuration.

8.3 Placing the system into operation

Note: It is recommended that the NivuLog Easy is first placed into operation in the office before permanently mounting the device at the place of use. In doing so you should set a site for the later operation on the Device to Web server (see "Device to Web Server Manual " - upon request) and determine a site configuration (see "Site configuration" on page 37). Take the opportunity to get to know the functions of the device in a stable environment. You can also use suitable test signals to simulate the sensors to establish the optimum configuration of the NivuLog Easy prior to its actual first use. This will reduce the time needed for on-site installation to a minimum.

1. Once you have completed all of the steps described in the section "Connecting the sensors, actuators and supply" on page 24, the NivuLog Easy is ready for operation and should have already made its first connection to the Device to Web server.

2. Create a site for the operation on the Device to Web server (see "Device to Web Server Manual " upon request).

3. Configure the created site accordingto your requirements (see "Site configuration" on page 37).

4. Linkthe NivuLog Easy with the createdsite (see "Site" on page 37).

5. Check whether the type of accu packset in the device configuration (see "Device-specific settings" on page 62) matches the accu or battery pack that is being used.

NivuLog Easy - Rev. 05 as of 02.07.2012 31 of 73

Important note: The accu pack type must be configured correctly, otherwise the charging curve will not be correct.

6. Activate the ALOHA transmissionmode (see "ALOHA transmission mode" on page 17) so that the site configuration is transmitted to the NivuLog Easy .

8.4 Testing the communication with the device

1. Create a site for the operation on the Device to Web server (see "Device to Web Server Manual " upon request).

Chapter 10 Maintenance

Important note: The work described in this section of these instructions may only be performed by qualified personnel to prevent damage to the instrument.

Before maintenance, cleaning and/or repair work, the device must absolutely be deenergised (zero potential).

10.1 General maintenance

l Regularly check the NivuLog Easy for mechanicaldamage. l Check all of the connections for leaks or corrosion on a regular basis. l Check all of the cables for mechanical damage at regular intervals. l Clean the NivuLog Easy with a soft, moist cloth. Use a mild cleaning agent, if necessary.

10.2 Replacing the accu or battery pack

Important note: When replacing the accu or battery pack under adverse weather conditions or site locations where water can enter from above, find a suitable dry location for replacing the accu or battery pack. If this is not possible, protect the opened device against penetrating moisture using suitable means.

Chapter 10 Maintenance

1. Ensure that all of the relevant data was transmitted to the Device to Web server. If necessary initiate the ALOHA transmission mode using the solenoid contact (see "ALOHA transmission mode" on page

17) and then check again that all of the relevant data has been transmitted.

2. If you are using an external charging voltage to charge the accu pack of the NivuLog Easy , disconnect this from the device before opening the housing cover.

3. Disconnect the connector of the accu or battery packfrom the device's supplyconnector.

4. Remove the accu or battery pack mount and replace the existing accu or battery pack with a new one.

Note: Ensure that accu and battery packs are disposed of in line with environmental requirements. Used accu or battery packs can be returned to the manufacturer or handed in at suitable collection points.

5. Install the new accu or battery pack and connect it to the supply connector of the NivuLog Easy .

The following step is not mandatory.

6. Check whether the connection to the Device to Web functions correctly (see "Testing the communication with the device" on page 32).

7. Close the housing cover. The best option is to tighten all four of the screws crosswise so that the housing cover is positioned evenly.

The following step is onlynecessary if you are using an external charging voltage for the accu pack:

8. Now switch on the external charging voltage.

10.2.1 Charging the accu pack

The accu packs are delivered charged. If you use an external charging voltage (Vin) during operation, the accu packis constantly charged by the charge controller integrated in the NivuLog Easy .

If no external charging voltage (Vin) is available during operation, it is recommended to recharge the accu pack prior to first use for reasons of operational safety.

Instructions on removing the accu pack are provided in "Replacing the accu or battery pack" on page 63.

Important note: The accu or battery pack must only be replaced and/or charged in non-hazardous areas and in dry conditions. Only use the Charger (NLM0LAD413D+) to charge the lithium ion accu pack. The charger specifications must be observed. The use of atypical chargers can destroy the accu pack, for example, causing the cells to leak or an explosion, etc.

Charger and accu pack

1 Charger (NLM0LAD413D+) 3 Charging plug 2 Status LED of the Charger

Flashing orange: Impulse charge (accu pack fully discharged)

Orange: Accu pack is being charged

Green: Charging completed

Red: Accu pack damaged

The charging processstarts as soon as the accu pack is connected to the charger. The accu pack is fully discharged if the status LED on the charger flashes orange. The charging process will take considerably longer in this case. If the status LED is orange, a normal charging processis started. The charging process is complete when the status LED turns green.

If the status LED turns red, the accu pack is faulty. Possible reasons for this include a broken cable, short circuit or defective cells. In this case, the used accu pack must be replaced by a new one.

Note: Accu packs are wear parts that lose capacity over time. The capacity is also reduced at high or low ambient temperatures and under intensive use.

Important note: The use of spare and wear parts (e.g. accu or battery packs, etc.) which are not approved by the manufacturer shall void the warranty. The housing cover must always be closed tightly during operation.

AP413D+(NLM0AP413D+)

10.3 Accu or battery pack

While battery packsare intended for single use and must be disposed of accordingly after depletion, accu packs can be recharged and used again and again. However, the service time of accu packs is not indefinite. In addition to regular servicing and maintenance, its service life is also dependent on the frequency of use and the operating and storage conditions.
