Low cost solution for
Walchem controllers with 4-20 mA option boards fitted.
The USB 4-20 mA self powered data logger will
automatically collect data for any device assigned to
a given 4-20 mA option card. This enables water
treatment engineers' to create detailed data files
that can be downloaded to create graphs etc. and prove
the performance of the controller whilst unattended.
Troubleshooting of any control events are also
simplified since all data points are time stamped. The
user can easily set up the logging rate and start
time. Download the stored data by plugging the module
straight into a PC's USB port and run the free
supplied software under Windows 98, 2000, XP and Vista
(32 bit). The data can then be graphed, printed and
exported to other applications. The data logger is
supplied with a long-life lithium battery. Correct
functioning of the unit is indicated by a flashing red
and green LED. The data logger features a pair of
screw terminals and is supplied complete with a set of
measurement leads terminating in crocodile clips for
easy fitment.

LED flashing modes
The LEDs will flash in one of the following ways, assuming alarm hold is turned off.
• Green single flash every 30 seconds. Logger primed and ready to start.
• Green single flash every 10 seconds. Logging in progress, last stored value OK
• Red single flash every 10 seconds. Logging in progress, the last stored reading is equal to or exceeds the low alarm level (if hold is turned on, then a stored value is equal to or exceeds the low alarm level)
• Red double flash every 10 seconds. Logging in progress, the last stored reading is equal to or exceeds the high alarm level (if hold is turned on, then a stored value is equal to or exceeds the high alarm level)
• Green single flash every 20 seconds. Low battery, logging in progress, the last stored value OK
• Red single flash every 20 seconds. Low battery, logging in progress, the last stored value is equal to or exceeds the low level alarm
• Red double flash every 20 seconds. Low battery, logging in progress, the last stored value is equal to or exceeds the high level alarm
• Green double flash every 20 seconds. Logger is full, last stored value is OK
• Red/Green single flash every 20 seconds alarm hold turned on. Logger is full, last stored value is equal to or exceeds the low or high alarm level
• No LEDs flash. LEDs disabled during configuration to save battery power and increase logging duration or battery dead
By default hold is disabled. In this mode the red LED will no longer continue to flash after the logged temperature has returned from an alarm condition.
