Simple Logger®II Series 7
CHAPTER 2
PRODUCT FEATURES
2.1 Description
The Simple Logger®II Series includes one and two channel recording
devices (model dependent) powered by an alkaline battery pack. Line
tracking is performed such that 64 samples over one line cycle are taken.
Frequency tracking is performed over the range of ±2Hz around the nominal
line frequency (50 or 60Hz). Harmonic measurements are calculated from
these 64 samples (Harmonics are only available from the Simple Logger®
II Control Panel within the DataView®software).
The Simple Logger®II records TRMS at a rate of up to eight times per
second. The measurement process is performed no more than eight times
per second. TRMS calculations are performed on 64 samples of a single
line cycle for AC measurements. This means that the input(s) are ignored
between measurement intervals. DC measurements are performed 8
times for each sample taken.
The main advantage of the logger is its ability to perform a variety of
recording tasks with easy and intuitive setup from a computer using
DataView®software.
Analog information on the input is sampled and converted to a digital
signal. This digital signal is processed and stored along with scale and
time information. An optically isolated Universal Serial Bus (USB) port
provides for the transfer of data from the instrument’s internal memory to
the computer for analysis.

*This unique recording mode provides the opportunity to continuously record over long periods of time by
reducing the stored sample resolution of the oldest data and maintaining matching resolution for the newest
data. Each time the memory fills up using XRM
™
, every other of the oldest stored samples is discarded
making room for newer samples. This process continues until the recording is manually stopped.
**A memory backup capacitor provides backup power while the batteries are being changed. This
backup capacitor will maintain the instrument for up to 10 seconds without batteries installed. After 10
seconds the date and time will need to be reset (data and configuration will be maintained). If the unit is
connected to DataView®via a PC, the battery life is 100 hours regardless of the storage rate.
*** Voltages beyond this range may damage the instrument.
NOTE: Specications are subject to change at any time without notice.

OPERATION
4.1 LED Control Operation and Status Function
TheON/OFFstateoftheinstrumentcanbedeterminedbypressingthe
PRESSbuttonforlessthan0.5seconds.IftheinstrumentisON,thestatus
oftheinstrumentwillbeshownbytheLEDs.IftheinstrumentisOFFno
indicationwillbegiven(theLEDswillnotblink).
TheinstrumentisturnedONbypressingthePRESSbuttonuntilallLEDs
light. At this point, the button can be released and the instrument will
remainintheONstate.IfthebuttonisreleasedbeforealltheLEDslight
(inunison),theinstrumentwillremainintheOFFstate.
WhenholdingthePRESSbuttonwhiletheinstrumentisON,eachLED
willlightinsequence.ContinuingtoholdthePRESSbuttonuntilthelast
LEDlights,turnstheinstrumentOFF.Atthispoint,releasingthebuttonwill
resultinnoactionbeingtaken.Thisprovidesamechanismtocancel(or
ignore)thebuttonpress.
ControloftheinstrumentisperformedbypressingandholdingthePRESS
button(whilethe instrument is ON)untilthe control LED corresponding
to the desired operation lights. Releasing the button when the desired
control LED is illuminated results in the corresponding operation being
performed.
TurningtheinstrumentOFF(pressingandholdingthePRESSbuttonuntil
theBlueLEDlights),willnotterminateanactive recordingorpreventa
scheduledrecordingfromstarting.
WhiletheinstrumentisOFF,itwillturnONforeachscheduledrecording.

TheControl and Status OperationofeachLEDisasfollows:
GREEN LED:
CONTROL STARTS A RECORDING
STATUS
OFF Logger is turned OFF or in Low Power Standby state*
Single-blink Logger is in Standby Mode (and not recording)
Double-blink Logger is in Record Mode
ORANGE LED:
CONTROL STOPS A RECORDING
STATUS OFF Logger is not in an Overload condition
Single-blink One or more inputs are in an Overload condition
YELLOW LED:
CONTROL CLEARS THE ALARM STATE (see § 4.6)
STATUS
OFF No alarm has been seen on any input
Single-blink At least one channel has seen an alarm at least once
Double-blink At least one channel is currently in an alarm condition
Fast-blink Armed to clear alarm indication
RED LED:
CONTROL ERASES THE MEMORY (see § 4.7)
STATUS
OFF No data in memory
Single-blink Memory is partially filled
Double-blink Memory is full
Fast-blink Armed to erase memory
BLUE LED:
CONTROL TURNS THE INSTRUMENT OFF
STATUS
OFF Battery voltage is above 1.8 volts
Single-blink Battery voltage is below 1.8 volts
Double-blink Indicates a recording is scheduled
*To determine whether the unit is OFF or in SLEEP mode, press the PRESS button for 0.5
seconds. If all LEDs light, the logger is not OFF.
Note: Overload occurs when any input is 10% above its input range. When
the battery voltage goes below 1.7 volts the instrument will shut down
(terminating and saving the recording, if it is recording).
