Starting and using the LogTag
Once a LogTag has been successfully configured for use it is ready to be started. There
are two discrete methods available to start a LogTag recording, which are selected during
configuration. These start methods are explained in more detail in the chapter "
Preparing
LogTag for use
on page 26".
1 By pressing and holding the START MARK button on the LogTag until both the OK and
Alert lights alternately flash on and off.
2 By waiting until the date/time defined during configuration is reached, at which time
recording will automatically commence. Pressing the START MARK button will have no
effect until recording has commenced.
You can also have the LogTag record an "inspection" mark at any time while it is
recording, simply by pressing and holding the START MARK button on the LogTag until
both the OK and Alert lights flash on and off at the same time. You may have the LogTag
record as many inspection marks as you want while it is recording, however only one
inspection mark can be recorded per reading. In other words, if your LogTag is configured
to take readings at 15 minute intervals, inspection marks can be recorded at intervals of
15 minutes or more. If the LogTag has finished recording then pressing the START MARK
button will have no effect until after the LogTag has been prepared for next use.
Once the LogTag has started recording (either via Start button or date/time start) the
Alert and OK indicator lights operate in the following manner:
Red 'Alert' light : Flashes every 4 seconds if a configured alert condition has been met
and/or exceeded.
If an alert condition is still present at the end of recording then the Alert light will
continue to flash at the same rate.
Green 'OK' light: Regularly flashes every 4 seconds while recording is active to indicate
that no alert condition is present.
If recording is complete and no alert condition is present then will flash regularly every 8
seconds.
