3INTRODUCTION

The LogBox-RHT-LCD is an electronic logger of temperature and relative humidity. There are sensors that measure such data and values

(data) obtained are displayed in an LCD screen and stored in an electronic memory. Data can be later viewed and analyzed on a PC where they

can be opened in tabular and graphical forms. The humidity output can be configured to display Relative Humidity values or the temperature

value of Dew Point.

The NXperience and the LogChart II configurator software are the tools used to configure the operating mode and to view the downloaded

data. Parameters such as start and end times of logs and log interval, for example, are easily defined through the NXperience and the

LogChart II software.

Measurements can be exported to and opened in other applications, such as spreadsheet programs.

3.1 Identification

The identification label is on the logger body. Check if the features described

are in accordance with your order. The RHT-LCD model is designed to

measure temperature and relative humidity. The following elements are shown

in the logger front:

START / STOP button: Can be configured to start or stop logging when

pressed. It can also be used to browse and change screens.

Status indicator (LOG): Indicates when the device is logging.

When logs are finished or not started, the indicator remains

deactivated.

Alarm Indicator (AL1 and/or AL2): Warns the user as to alarm conditions. It

remains active whenever an alarm condition occurs, until a new configuration is

applied to the logger.

IR Communication Window (COM): Activated when there is a communication attempt or when communication between logger and PC is

activated.

5OPERATION

It is only possible to operate the device after the NXperience or LogChart II software are installed to a PC, according to the steps described in

the corresponding chapters of this manual.

The communication between logger and PC is performed with the use of the IR-Link3 Interface.

The logger operation mode set up is defined in advance by using NXprience or LogChart II software. The configuration is sent to the logger

through the IR-Link3 Interface.

The logger starts and stops logging as defined in the setup.

5.1 Registers Screens

5.1.1 Battery Saving Mode - IDLE

In the low battery consumption mode (IDLE), the register does not communicate. It always stays in this mode after

reset; register does not make acquisitions and does not update screen measures. For skipping IDLE mode, press

the button for activating communication temporarily. After an acquisition configuration has been sent, it will

definitely be out of IDLE mode.

Figure 9Display Updating Screen

5.1.3 Min / Max Indication

It indicates the minimum and maximum value during the acquisitions. The Channel for which the values are just displayed is indicated on the

screen on the left side as CH1 or CH2

5.1.4 Communication Screen IR-COM

It sets IR communication to automatic or to manual:

•In the automatic mode (AUT), communication will be always active. For communicating, just direct the IrLink3 interface and use

NXperience or LogChart II software. It always stays in this mode after reset.

•In the manual mode (MAN) communication will be active 20 seconds, after pressing the button. During this time, a communication

shall be initiated for keeping the IR Communication active.

5.1.5 Display Updating Interval Screen (DISP)

It sets the reading time of the sensor for the display updating. When selected by LO6, it performs the sensor reading and the display updating,

according to the interval set for acquisition.

When selected by 10 S, 30 S or 60 S it performs sensor reading for display updating every 10, 30 or 60 seconds. In this mode if the acquisition

interval is shorter than the time set in the screen DISP, display will be updated according to the acquisition interval

6BATTERY AUTONOMY

The estimated battery autonomy is above 200 days. This autonomy is directly related to the register using mode. The shorter is the interval of

the sensor reading, the smaller will be the autonomy, and it can last only 30 days, in the worst case.

For saving battery energy it has to set the longest interval possible between acquisitions, as well as for display updating.

Examples:

Ex. 1: Acquisitions interval equal to 10 minutes and DISP screen in LO6 mode. In this case register remains sleeping and activates only in every

10 minutes to read the sensor, update the display and save the acquisitions to the memory.

Ex. 2: Acquisitions interval equal to 10 minutes and DISP screen in 60 S (60 seconds). In this case, register remains sleeping and activates in

every 1 minute to measure the sensor and update the display. And every 10 minutes, it activates and measures the sensor for making the

acquisitions.

Comparing the Ex. 1 and the Ex. 2 with same acquisitions interval, the second example consumes 10 times more battery in comparison to the

first one, due to the constant sensor reading for display updating.

Ex. 3: Medium, minimum and maximum mode.

When one of these acquisition modes is used, 10 sensor readings are performed to make one acquisition. If the acquisition interval is equal to

10 minutes and DISP screen is in LO6 mode, in every 1 minute a measure will be made to make the 10 necessary measures for an acquisition.

In this case consumption will be same as Ex. 2.

Ex. 4: Starting and ending of acquisitions.

It must observe the best start and end acquisitions mode to save battery, due to necessity of the application

If the process in which the measuring is performed, only a short interval happens. The best is to use start and end of acquisitions by button.

If the process occurs daily at fixed times, the best way is to use the start and end by date and daily repetition.

7IRLINK3INTERFACE INSTALLATION

In the IR-Link3 / RS232 model there is a RSR232 / Ir communication interface. It must be connected to the serial port at the PC. In the IR -Link3

/ USB model there is a USB / Ir communication interface, which must be connected to the available USB port. Windows will request the proper

driver installation. Drivers for the IrLink3 interface are part of the Software LogChart II or NXperience, or can be downloaded from our home

page.

7.1 USB Drivers Installation

The drivers installation steps may vary according to the machine, even with the same version of an operating system. The following screenshots

and steps are only to provide guidance.

1. Run the driver file available on our web site or included in the software paket.

2. Connect the serial communication interface IrLink-3 to the PC USB port. Windows® will acknowledge the presence of new hardware

and a few seconds later it will start the driver’s installation process.

3. The found new hardware wizard will be displayed, and you will be asked if you want to install the driver from the Windows Update

website. Select “No, not this time”, and then click Next

4. Select “Install from a list or specific location (Advanced)” and click “Next”.

5. Select “Search for the best driver in these locations” and check “Search removable media”. Click “Next”. If installation files are not in a

CD, check “Include this location in the search” and show the file path

6. If a prompt warns you that it does not support Windows® XP, click “Continue anyway”.

7. The interface driver files will be copied to the computer and after a few seconds a screen is displayed informing that the software

installation has been concluded. Click “Finish”.

8. In some situations, the steps described above may be repeated. Follow the same procedures.

In later uses of the interface, Windows® may require the driver installation again. In this case, the same installation wizard will be displayed, and

you will have to select the option “Install software automatically (recommended), as the driver may already be in the computer.

The following screenshots show examples of Windows XP® installation wizard. The screens in Windows 2000® are slightly different, but the

content is basically the same

7.2 Communicating with Logger

You can communicatewith the LogBox-RHT-LCD using NXperience or LogChart II software. To do so, however, the Communication Interface

must be connected to the computer.

The interface must be constantly directed towards the front part of the logger (communication window) at a maximum distance of 50 cm, as

shown in Fig 11.
