Introduction
The Multilogger has been designed for measuring and recording physical
and electric quantities with an adjustable logging interval from 1 second to
24 hours. The device is equipped with 4 inputs (connectors) for external
probes or signals. Moreover, some versions also include an internal
atmospheric pressure and/or CO2concentration sensor. The production
line consists of several models with various combinations of the input
ranges of the measured quantities. The Multilogger can be used either as
stationary or portable device.
The device allows for:
- Measuring and processing input quantities; the maximum number of
the measured and calculated quantities is 16. Some models can also
acquire data from binary inputs (up to 2 inputs). Models for measuring
barometric pressure allow sea level recalculation.
- Finding and storing minimal and maximal values for each measured
quantity (since their last manual reset).
- Acquiring autonomous time record of measured values, independent
of the mains supply. Recorded values can be stored as separate
samples in the recording time or as average/ minimal/maximal values
during the logging interval. Recording may be continuous, or only
during an alarm optionally.
- Creating alarm states and perform actions (acoustic and optical
signalization, alarm output signal, report messages via telephone
dialer and/or various Ethernet interface protocols, etc.).
- On-line monitoring of the measured values and states. Accessing
these values via the web.
- Collecting and processing data in the central database.
- Powering by batteries (NiMH accumulators or alkaline batteries).
- Powering by external power supply, which can be also used for
charging NiMH accumulators. External power supply is necessary for
the Ethernet interface operation.

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.
Installation and service need to be performed by qualified
persons only.
Use a suitable power supply. Use power supplies only with a voltage
recommended by the manufacturer (+5V DC) and approved in
accordance with proper standards. Pay attention, the source has
undamaged cables or cover.
The device and power supply must not be used in a humid and
hazardous environment (such as bathrooms), at locations exposed to
direct sunlight and to other heat sources, thus preventing damages
and deformation of the cover.
Do not use the instrument without its covers. Do not remove the
covers from the device.
Do not use the instrument if it does not work correctly. If you think,
that the device is not working correctly, let check it by qualified
service person.
Never charge batteries that are not rechargeable.
Do not use the device in explosive environment.

Getting started
Multilogger in portable application
Connect the appropriate probes and signals to the device - for the
TRHD-102, TRHD-103 and Pt1000 probes, follow the optical key for
correct orientation of the connector. Probes of the TRHD-103-xx line
with a cable can placed in the holder on the side of device (optional
accessory). For more information, see Chapter “INPUTS OF
MULTILOGGER”.
Switch on the Multilogger - push the switch button on the device. The
display lights and the instrument starts working. If you will communicate
with PC via the Ethernet interface, the power adapter +5V DC is
necessary (supplied accessories). For more information, see Chapter
“POWER SUPPLY OF MULTILOGGER”.
Install Atal Vision software to your PC.If you purchased a license for
full version, register it.
Connect Multilogger with your PC - you can use the USB, Ethernet or
RS232 port (special cable necessary). Ethernet does not work from
batteries, an external power supply is needed. For more information, see
Chapter “CONNECTING WITH THE COMPUTER”.
Device settings - use SW to set up the device in accordance with the
connected probes and your requirements. If you are not going to use the
device soon, turn it off and place it in its transportation case. For more
information, see Chapter “DEVICE SETUP USING SOFTWARE”.
Measurements - remove the Multilogger from the transportation case,
connect probes and external power adapter (if needed) and turn the
device on. Some device settings can be changed from its keyboard.
When measurement ends, move the device to your computer room and
download the recorded data to PC. For more information, see Chapter
“KEYBOARD OPERATION”.
Charging batteries - if the Multilogger includes rechargeable batteries,
you can recharge them when needed. For more information, see also
Chapter “POWER SUPPLY OF MULTILOGGER”.
Maintenance and periodic inspections - In order to secure reliable
operation of the device, it is recommended to make regular inspections. For
more information, see part “OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
RECOMMENDATIONS”.

Multilogger in stationary application
Select a suitable location for placing of the Multilogger - pay
attention to parameters of ambient environment, minimize the number of
cables, avoid sources of interferences. For more information, see
Chapter “INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS”.
Mounting of sensors and routing of cables - pay attention to rules of
theirs installation, use recommended working positions, keep enough
distance from high power devices and cables.
Connect the appropriate probes and signals to the device - for the
TRHD-102, TRHD-103 and Pt1000 probes, follow the optical key for
correct orientation of the connector. Probes of the TRHD-103-xx line
with a cable can be placed in the holder on the side of device (optional
accessory). For more information, see Chapter “INPUTS OF
MULTILOGGER”.
Check proper connection - before first switching on. If Multilogger
controls other action regulation elements, it is recommended to put them
out of operation before configuration of Multilogger.
Switch on the Multilogger - push the switch button on the device. The
display lights and the instrument starts working. If you will communicate
with PC via the Ethernet interface, the power adapter +5V DC is
necessary (supplied accessories). For more information, see Chapter
“POWER SUPPLY OF MULTILOGGER”.
Install the Atal Vision software to your computer. If you purchased a
license for the extended SW, register it.
Connect Multilogger with your PC - you can use the USB, Ethernet or
RS232 port (special cable necessary). Ethernet does not work from
batteries, an external power supply is needed. For more information, see
Chapter “CONNECTING WITH THE COMPUTER”.
Device settings - use Atal Vision software to set up the device in
accordance with the connected probes and your requirements. If
needed, check the alarms functionality. For more information, see
Chapter “DEVICE SETUP USING SOFTWARE”.
Maintenance and periodic inspections - In order to secure reliable
operation of the device, it is recommended to make regular checks. For
more information, see part “OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
RECOMMENDATIONS”.

Installation instruction
Location of Multilogger must match the operating conditions and not
allowed manipulations.
Working position of the device:
Multilogger placed on a horizontal, nonflammable surface (horizontal
working position is not suitable for devices with thermocouple inputs and for
devices with cable-less probes).
Multilogger fixed on the wall from nonflammable materials or in a low-
current switchboard using the holder - the working position is with input
connectors upwards.
