once per hour as well as the time that the sample-on-demand was triggered. This

feature is used to record the time that special events occurred such as when water

sampler was triggered, a door was opened, etc.

Alarm Times: Check the box

associated with each alarm to

enable that feature and enter

the desired start or stop time.

The logger will start at the next

occurrence of the Alarm 1 time and stop at the next occurrence of the Alarm 2 time

after the Alarm 1 timer has expired. Either or both alarms can be enabled.

Note: The alarm start and stop cycle is a one time occurrence. Once stopped

by the Alarm 2 timer, the logger will not resume logging again until the logger

is reprogrammed. Reprogramming the logger with the timers enabled will

restart the alarm cycle. Reprogramming the logger with the timers disabled

will return the logger to a normal logging state

Use care when programming the alarm times. If left enabled, changing and

reprogramming any of the setup parameters will restart the alarm timers and

could cause the logger to stop recording.

XI. Analog Setup:

The Analog Setup screen sets the engineering units and calibration numbers for

each of the analog channels, the endpoints of the bar graphs in the main screen and

which of the analog channels are enabled. These channels are calibrated in the

same way so only a single channel will be discussed.

It is important to note here that the information

stored in the data logger’s memory is just the

sensors output level before it is adjusted by the

following calibration parameters. These

parameters are used to adjust the stored

data for display and storage purposes only, at

the time the data is downloaded. If they are

changed, the same stored data can be

downloaded again and the data will be scaled

differently according to the new settings.
