RFID LOGGER – USER MANUAL Rev 1.0
The RFID logger is a small compact data logging device that uses near
field communication (NFC) to communicate with Android devices that
have NFC capability or with the PC using a special RFID reader that
plugs into a USB port.
This logger can record 8100 samples in non-volatile memory at a user
selectable rate from 10 seconds to 60 minutes per sample, equivalent
to a record time of 22 hours to over 338 days. This time is halved for a
two channel device. The logger can also acquire samples at a rate
faster than the record interval, and these samples can be averaged, or
the maximums and minimums calculated.
The logger has a bi-colored LED that is used to indicate record status and alarms when the button is
pressed momentarily. The LED blinks twice – the first blink is the Record status and the second blink is
the alarm status. The button can also be used to stop and start the recording if programmed by the
user.
There are three user programmable record modes – record now, record on button press, record later.
Record Now – the logger starts recording as soon as a configuration file is uploaded to it using the
Android device or the PC USB reader.
Record on button press – the logger remains dormant until the user performs a long press on the
button at which time recording starts. Once started, the recording can be ended by a second long press
on the button.
Record later – the logger remains dormant for a period of up to 999 hours as programmed by the user
after the configuration file is uploaded to the device before starting to record.
The record status is indicated by the first LED blink.
RED means the unit is not recording, GREEN means
the unit is currently recording.
The logger has four alarms which can be programmed as high or low by the user. The alarm status can
be checked by a user with a short press of the button. The alarm status is indicated by the second LED
blink .
RED means an alarm occurred, GREEN means no alarm occurred. The alarms become active when
the logger starts recording.
Each logger has a unique fixed serial number and a 20 character unit tag which can be programmed by
the user.
Software allows the user to configure the logger. The current configuration can be read from the logger
using the Android device or the PC USB reader, or can be loaded from a stored file on the PC or Android
device. The user can alter the record mode, record rate, sample rates and data type – instantaneous,
