Troubleshooting
Below is a list of problems that may be encountered, and steps to remedy them.
A good first step to troubleshooting, if you are able to connect your eLogger to your PC, is to download our latest software and update
the eLogger’s Firmware via “Hardware, Firmware Control.” Doing this will ensure that you have the latest software and firmware
available.
If your particular issue is not addressed by this update, or by the suggestions below, please visit our web support page for additional
support options, at

Issue: My PC does not recognize the eLogger.
Solution: Try to eliminate the problem in the following ways:
o Disconnect all other USB peripherals from your PC (if possible) and try the eLogger again.
o Try the eLogger on a different PC. If it works, there may be a misconfiguration with your PC.
o Try the eLogger with a different USB cable, if you have one. If this works, your cable has been damaged.
o Try rebooting your PC – occasionally USB support gets disabled with some PCs.
o Try the other USB connector on you PC if it has two.
o Ensure that USB is enabled within your Operating System by checking in Device Manager. You’ll need to see your
Windows™ documentation to determine how to do this on your particular OS version.
Issue: RPM is not working correctly (note: also see the Optical or Brushless RPM Sensor instruction manual if you are using the
Optical or Brushless RPM Sensor)
Solutions:
•
With the magnetic sensor, check to make sure your sensor to magnet gap is around 2mm or less.
•
Check the magnet polarity mounting. The magnet should have been glued so that the red line faces down, away from the
sensor, and the writing on the sensor faces the magnet. If you inadvertently glued the magnet so that the red line is facing
UP, flip the sensor over so the "non printed" side faces the magnet.
•
Make sure that under Choose What to Log in the app, you have checked RPM.
•
Make sure that the RPM sensor is plugged into the correct slot on the eLogger
•
Connect the eLogger to the computer and launch the Windows Application. Then, click the “Live Mode” button. Make
sure that the RPM gauge is displayed, and spin the magnets, or wave the magnets by hand in front of the sensor. Try both
sides of the magnets and both sides of the sensor. See if the RPM reading jumps.
Issue: I have a fully charged battery, but the eLogger frequently shows “Low Battery Restart” Notifications when playing back data.
