Applications:

A data logger is a key piece of equipment for collecting data. It is often used instead of using valuable resources or man-power to manually log and record data and they can be placed in environments that are not always suitable for humans over long periods of time, for example when monitoring refrigeration or chilling units. Data loggers are incredibly useful devices that can offer use in a wide range of applications like:
• Environmental and weather monitoring
• Agricultural and livestock
• Food and drink production
• Building and site monitoring
• HVAC
• Health care
• Accommodation
• Offices
• Warehousing
• Greenhouses

How easy is it to set up the RS PRO Temperature Data Logger?

Easy to install and use, the control software is compatible with 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows 7, 8 and 10. The software is used to set up the logger, download, graph and annotate data or export in Excel, PDF and jpeg formats. You can easily set up the logger and view downloaded data by plugging the data logger into a PC’s USB port and using the free software. Data can be printed and exported to other applications for detailed analysis.

The software allows the following parameters to be configured:
• Logger name
• Measurement parameter (°C or °F)
• Logging rate (user selectable between 10 seconds and 12 hours)
• High and low alarms
• Immediate and delayed logging start

Is the battery supplied with the unit?

Yes, the RS PRO Data Logger is supplied as a stand-alone ready-to-use device with the battery and all necessary accessories

How long will the battery last in my data logger?

The battery life depends on your logger's settings, but it should last approximately 2 years (at 25°C and 1-minute logging rate)

Why do the LEDs flash after connecting my logger to a PC?

If the LEDs flash sequentially it may indicate that there is a problem with the battery. This could be a flat battery or a battery where a passivation layer has formed. Leaving the data logger connected to a PC for about 30 seconds and re-installing the batteries to reset the data logger will solve the issue.

If you see the sequential LEDs after disconnecting the logger from a PC then the logging session will not start. You should check the battery condition and then repeat the setup procedure using the PC software.

Can this data logger be used outside?

The logger is protected against ingress from water and dust to IP67 standard when the cap is fitted so can be safely used both inside and outside
