6 Operation 
6.1 Measurement preparation 
•Before using the device for the first time, insert the batteries correctly as described in 
chapter 7The batteries are absolutely necessary for the operation of the internal 
cLOGk. 
•First connect the plug-in mains adaptor to the meter and then to the mains. The unit 
automatically switches to measuring mode. Without the mains adaptor, only the time is 
shown on the display. Measuring or logging is not possible. 
•Insert an SD card into the card slot. Format the card before using it for the first time or 
if the card has been formatted by other devices. To format the SD card, proceed as 
described in chapter 6.6.1 
•Check the date, time and log interval. Press the "▲ / Time" key for approx. 2 seconds. 
The set values are displayed one after the other. You can change the date, time and 
log interval as described in chapter 6.6 
•Make sure that the decimal character is set correctly. The default decimal character is 
a dot. In Europe, however, the comma is customary. If the decimal character is not set 
correctly in your country, this can lead to incorrect values and complications when 
reading out the memory card. You can make the setting as described under chapter 
6.6.5 
•Switch the key and control sounds on or off as described in chapter 6.6.4 
•Enable or disable the RS232 output as described in chapter 6.6.6 
•Check the set measurement ranges. Press the "▼"  key. If necessary, correct the 
measurement range for each measuring channel to the values of the connected sensor 
as described in chapters 6.6.7... 6.6.9 
•Select one of the available units of measurement as described in chapter 6.6.10. 
•Connect the signal line with correct polarity to the corresponding connectors of the 
measuring inputs. 
 
Connection example: 
Each channel can be assigned with 4 ... 20 mA or a TR-PS2W-XXX sensor. With the TR-PS2W-
XXX sensor, the power supply for the sensor is provided by the data logger. 
(TR-PS2W-XXX pressure sensor from the accessories) 
 
 

6.2 Display information

SD card is full or defective.

Clear and format the SD card

If the indication continues to appear, replace the SD card.

Battery level low

Replace the batteries.

No SD card inserted

6.3 Measuring / logging

•Plug the measuring input connectors into the corresponding channel input, observing

correct polarity.

The current measured values are displayed.

6.3.1 Starting the log function

•To start the logger, press and hold the "LOG / Enter" key for >2 seconds.

“Scan" quickly appears in the upper part of the display as a confirmation. “Datalogger"

appears between the channel 2 and 3 display. The lettering "Datalogger" flashes and

the control sound is audible at the set log interval (if not disabled).

6.3.2 Exiting the log function

•To end the log function, press and hold the "LOG / Enter" key for >2 seconds.

The meter returns to measuring mode.

6.4 Backlight

To switch the backlight on or off, press and hold the "▼" key for >2 seconds.

6.5 Data transfer to the PC

•Remove the SD card from the unit when the log function is finished.

Attention!

Removing the SD card while the log function is active can lead to data loss.

•Insert the SD card into the appropriate SD card slot on the PC or into an SD card reader

connected to the PC.

•Start the spreadsheet programme on your PC, open the file on the SD card and read

out the data.

6.5.1 SD card structure

The following structure is automatically created on the SD card when it is used for the first time

or after formatting:

•Folder "PSB01

•File "PSB01001" with max. 30000 data records

•File "PSB01002" with max. 30000 records if PSB01001 overflows.

•etc. until "PSB01099“

•File "PSB02001" if PSB01099 overflows

•etc. until "PSB10....

Example file

6.6 Advanced settings

•With the unit switched on and the data logger not activated, press and hold the "SET"

key until "Set" appears on the display.

•With the "SET" key, you can call up the following setting options one after the other.

If no entries are made for 5 seconds, the unit returns to measuring mode.

6.6.1 Format SD card

•Navigate to the advanced settings as described above.

The prompt Sd F appears on the display.

•Use the "▼" or "▲ / Time" keys to select yes or no.

•Confirm the selection with the "LOG / Enter" key.

•If you select "yes", you must confirm the security prompt again with the "LOG / Enter"

key.

•Press the "SET" key repeatedly until you return to measuring mode or wait for 5

seconds; then the meter will return to measuring mode automatically.

Attention!

If you select "yes" and confirm the security prompt, all data on the SD card will be deleted and

the SD card will be reformatted.

6.6.2 Date / time

•Navigate to the advanced settings as described above.

•Press the "SET" key repeatedly until "dAtE" appears on the display.

After a short time, the year, month and day appear on the display.

•Use the "▼”or “▲ / Time" keys to select the current year and confirm the entry with the

"LOG / Enter" key.

•Proceed with the entry of the month and the day as with the entry of the year. After

confirming the day, the display shows the hour, minute and second.

•Proceed with these entries as with the year, etc.

•Press the "SET" key repeatedly until you return to measuring mode or wait for 5

seconds; then the meter will return to measuring mode automatically.
