Data Logger Model DL913 & DL914 9
The Models DL913 and DL914 are easy-to-use, rugged data loggers that can
be used both indoors and outdoors. Recorded data is stored in the instrument’s
internal memory. This data can then be downloaded to a computer using a
Wi-Fi or USB connection. Then, the data can be analyzed using the Data
Logger Control Panel.
Features include:
Three (DL913) or four (DL914) 24 inch integral MiniFlex® probes
Waterproof (IP 67)
USB for communication and battery charging
Wi-Fi wireless communication
1000 V CAT III, 600 V CAT IV
The DL913 and DL914 are powered by two rechargeable NiMH batteries and
can also be externally powered through a USB connection. AEMC® Instruments
recommends using the supplied adapter or a 3.0 USB port for battery charging.

Selecting the MAX icon displays the MAX mode screen. An example of the
DL914 MAX mode screen is below:
This screen displays maximum aggregated averages over a period of time. For
The MAX mode screen lists the highest aggregated average for a period for
each probe.
Using the Data Logger Control Panel, you can determine whether the maximum
aggregation is updated continuously or only when the instrument is actively
recording. If it is set to update when actively recording only, the instrument will
retain the current MAX value in its memory when the instrument is not recording
but will not update it even if a higher aggregated value is encountered.
Selecting the Information icon displays the Information mode screen that
lists a number of instrument settings.
The screens appear in the following order:
