BEFORE USE

Features

The ZR-RX40 (with color monitor and internal memory) are compact, lightweight, multi-channel data loggers.

ZR-RX40 are provided with 20 channels as a standard measurement feature, or can be extended up to 200 channels by attaching additional terminal sets.

ZR-RX40 is equipped with an internal flash memory, and attaching USB memory device also allows you to directly capture a large volume of data to USB memory device.

Furthermore, the data loggers are equipped with USB and Ethernet interfaces to a PC to enable system configurations according to your application.

The Ethernet feature includes WEB and FTP server functions which allow monitoring from a remote location and data transfer.

Input

• Adoption of a pluggable M3 screw type input terminal facilitates wiring.

• The ZR-RX40 is provided with 20 channels as a standard measurement feature, or can be extended up to 200

channels by attaching additional terminal sets.

• All channels are isolated, enabling measurement of signals of different references.

Display & Operation

• With the ZR-RX40's 5.7-inch TFT color liquid crystal display, you can confirm the waveforms of measured data and

each channel's settings at a glance.

• Easy operation is achieved through a straightforward menu structure and key allocation which resembles mobile

phones.

Data Capture

• Data can be directly captured and maintained in the internal or USB memory device.

• Internal memory used for the built-in memory maintains captured data even after the power is turned off.

• The Internal memory can be used with disk images thus multiple data items can be maintained.

Data Control & Processing

• The PC software provided lets you set conditions and monitor data on a PC.

• The USB drive mode function enables the ZR-RX40's internal memory to be recognized as an external drive by

your PC. (Connect the ZR-RX40 to your PC and turn on the power supply to the ZR-RX40 while holding down the

START key.)

• Captured data can be read from the PC software to files and displayed for processing.

• Data can be transferred off-line to a computer using USB memory device.

• The WEB server function enables control and monitoring from a remote location without using dedicated software.

• The FTP server function enables handling internal memory and USB memory data from a PC.

Using the Battery Pack

②

①

Attach the battery with care of polarity and insertion direction.

Note

Be sure to use the dedicated battery pack (option: ZR-XRB1).

Mounting the Battery Pack

1 While lightly pushing the grip of the battery cover, slid the cover in the direction indicated by the

arrow.

2 Attach the battery pack (ZR-XRB1).

BEFORE USE

Either one or two battery packs can be attached. To connect one pack, connect to either one of the connectors. Attaching two battery packs allows longer operational time.

When attaching two battery packs, make sure the battery levels are equivalent. Do not use a new battery with an old battery at the same time. When attaching two battery packs, make sure the remaining amount are same. If you are not sure about the amount, charge each battery and then attach full-charged two battery packs.
