INTRODUCTION
Data loggers are designed for measurement, record, evaluation and consequent processing of input
electrical signals, characterized by relatively slow changes (>1s). Together with proper transmitters and
transducers are suitable for monitoring of physical values.
Device enables:
to measure and process 1 to 16 input signals
to acquire autonomous time record of measured values
create alarm states
to perform other actions based on created alarms (audible, visual indication, controlling of
relay outputs, sending SMS message, controlling of telephone dialer, sending of messages
via several protocols of the Ethernet interface etc.)
to monitor on-line measured values and states
The basic model is data logger ATM-06D. Data loggers ATM-06R are designed for 19’’rack
mounting (one rack unit 1U) or for desktop use.

1. GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
The following list of precautions serves to reduce risk of injury or damage of described
instrument. To prevent injuries use instrument accordingly with rules in this manual.
Follow rules specified in part Not allowed manipulations and notice
Installation and service should be performed only by qualified person.
Use suitable power source. Use only source with power voltage recommended by the
manufacturer and approved in accordance with proper standards. Pay attention, the source has
undamaged cables or cover.
Connect and disconnect correctly. Do not connect and disconnect cables, if device is under
electrical voltage.
Do not use instrument without covers.
Do not use instrument, if it does not work correctly. If you mean instrument does not correctly,
let it check by qualified service person.
Do not use instrument in environment with danger of explosion.
2. WIZARD for INSTALLATION and CONFIGURATION of DATA LOGGER
2.1.1 Mounting of data logger and its accessory
Select suitable location for placing data logger –pay attention to parameters of ambient
environment, minimize the number of cables, avoid sources of interference
Mounting of sensors and routing of cables –pay attention to rules of theirs installation, use
recommended working positions, avoid devices and distribution of power electricity
Check proper connection –before first switching on. If data logger controls other actuating
devices of regulation, it is recommended to put them out of operation before configuration of
data logger.
Basic rules for mounting of data logger are described in chapter RULES for MOUNTING and
CONNECTION DATA LOGGER. Detailed information on different connections to the PC are
described in Appendix No. 3 in electronic version.
2.1.2 Basic activation of data logger
Connection of data logger to power - connect data logger to power and visually check its
function (indication of power, optionally the display and keyboard)
Installation of software - install user program to the PC (see part PROGRAM for DATA
LOGGER)
Configuration of data logger communication with computer –in user SW in part
Configuration-Setting of communication configure and test the data logger connection to
computer. Basic description of Setting of communication interface is in chapter RULES
for MOUNTING and CONNECTION of DATA LOGGER. Detailed description is in
Appendix No. 3 in pdf format.
Program enables to work simultaneously with several data loggers, that are connected to the
computer in different ways.
2.1.3 Configuration of data logger –read and change the data logger configuration by means of
the SW in part Configuration –Configuration of data logger (icon i). Detailed description

of data logger configuration is in part DESCRIPTION of CONFIGURATION and MODES of
DATA LOGGER.
set data logger Name, Date and Time in data logger
select suitable Type and range of input channel corresponding with character of connected
input signals
assign names to each measured point and optimize the display for your requirements (signal
conversions, decimal point position etc.)
switch on each input channel needed and set record function:
-on channels where recorded value with fixed interval is required, use Continuous record
with fixed interval.
-if record with fixed interval only under certain conditions is required, use Conditional
record.
-if only values and time under defined conditions are required, use Sampled record
-each type of record can be limited in time
-different record modes can be combined
if needed set alarm functions
-first define conditions for consequent actions
-assign to each alarm conditions for creation of alarm
-assign to each alarm actions to be performed in alarm creation (lightening of LED diode
on data logger panel, activation of ALARM OUT output, activation of audible
indication, sending SMS message, sending e-mail etc.)
-maximum four conditions and two different alarm actions on one channel can be
defined; if there is a need for one channel to link several alarms (maximum four), it is
enabled to use available alarms from different channels
-activity of output ALARM-OUT can be cancel by the user directly from data logger or
remotely, at the same time it is possible to record it (including information on way of
canceling)
-changes of state for each alarms can be recorded separately
if there is a need during data logger operation to describe from its keyboard parts of record
with predefined notes, it is enabled by means of Processes.
ATM-06 data logger does not enable to switch different configurations from the instrument
keyboard during operation. To switch to different configuration use the PC program
if it is required to secure data transfer and access to data logger and program functions,
system of passwords and access rights can be used
Read chapter APPLICATION NOTES, where detailed information on several applications are
described.
2.1.4 Usual work with data logger
reading, viewing, archiving and print/export recorded data from selected data logger or from
file on disk
on-line viewing of measured values –Display mode, enables to watch simultaneously all
connected data loggers. This mode can be shared simultaneously on several computers in the
network
performance of actions based on created alarm states
Instructions for regular check and maintenance of data logger are specified in part
RECOMMENDATIONS for OPERATION and MAINTENANCE.

3. RULES for MOUNTING and CONNECTION of DATA LOGGER
3.1. Mechanical location of data logger and the way of cable routing
Location of data logger must match the operating conditions and not allowed manipulations.
Working position of data logger:
data logger ATM-06D or ATM-06R lies on horizontal nonflammable surface 1)
data logger ATM-06D is fixed2) by means of mounting consoles on the wall from
nonflammable material or at low current switchboard –working position is with input
connectors downward
The way of mounting of consoles to data logger and mounting holes dimensions:
data logger ATM-06D is fixed2) by means of the holder on DIN rail at low current
switchboard - working position is with input connectors downward
The way of mounting the holder to data logger:
data logger ATM-06R is mounted to 19’’ rack1)
Notes:
1) horizontal working position for data loggers with thermocouple inputs is not suitable
2) using of the original screws is required (longer screws can damage device)!

Mechanical drawing of ATM-06D data logger (without cables and connectors):
Connection terminals and connectors can be protected by magnetically fixed side covers.
Recommendations for mounting:
Use original included screws to mount side brackets or DIN rail holder. Using longer crews
can cause reduction of insulation distance between screws and printed circuit board or short
circuits. This can cause system functionality and safety of the users!
do not mount data logger near sources of interference (data logger must not be
mounted directly to power switchboard nor to its nearness. Also do not mount data logger
near power contactors, motors, frequency converters and other sources of strong
interference).
!

In cable routing follow rules of standards for installation of low current distribution (EN
50174-2), especially it is necessary to pay attention to avoid electromagnetic interference
intrusion to the leads, transmitters, transducers and sensors. Do not locate cabling near
sources of interference.
Do not use leads in parallel with power distribution network leads
Do not use outdoor leads without corresponding protection against effects of static
electricity
if not necessary, do not connect system with other circuitry
fundamentally use shielded cables - e.g. SYKFY n pairs x 0.5, shielding at data logger side
connect properly
do not create earth loops - it concerns both measuring circuits and cable shielding.
do not create hidden earth loops - do not connect cable shielding at end device side, if these
device do not have terminal designed for shielding. Shielding must not be connected to outer
metal parts of the device nor with other devices. Do not use shielding as a signal lead.
