PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The dataloggers equipped with a two-part self-locking terminal block are designed for measuring and recording physical and electric
quantities with an adjustable logging interval from 1 second to 24 hours. The measured values (instantaneous or the average, minimum
and maximum values detected during the recording interval) are stored in internal non-volatile memory. The data logging mode can be
cyclic (when the data memory is completely full, the oldest data are overwrite by the new ones), or non-cyclic (the recording will stop once
the memory is full). For each measured value it is possible to set two alarm limits. The alarms are signalled by the symbols on the LCD
display, by flashing the LED, by acoustic or by sending a warning SMS message. The data can be recorded continuously or only on alarm.
The dataloggers of the Ux8xxM family contain a 2G (GSM) radio modem, dataloggers of the Ux8xxG family contain a combined 2G/4G
(GSM and LTE) modem. Using the modem, the device connects to the mobile operator's network after inserting a suitable SIM card.
Modem is used to send SMS messages to up to four selected recipients and to send the measured values using JSON messages, e.g. to
the COMET Cloud (optionally to your own storage). In addition to alarm warning messages, SMS messages containing current measured
values and alarm statuses can be sent at regular intervals.
Device setting, data downloading and online monitoring is carried out using the computer with the COMET Vision software installed
(see www.cometsystem.com). The USB interface is used to communicate with the computer.
The datalogger is powered by an internal LiIon battery. The device includes a charging circuit, which is activated automatically when
a standard USB charger is connected or after connecting a device to a computer. The charging takes place if the battery condition
requires it and the internal temperature of the device is in the range 0 and 40 ºC.

Te…External temperature, Tdiff … temperature difference, U…Voltage, I…Current, BIN…Binary input
cc… calculated channel, ie the channel that can be used to calculate and record the value calculated from the measured quantities according to the selected formula
INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
Insert the micro-SIM card into the device (see other side of this sheet). Use a card with parameters conforming to the expected number
of sent SMS messages and amount of received and transmitted data. If the SIM card is protected by PIN code, make a note it, and later
insert this code into the device configuration. Proceed with care and avoid contact of the external conductive parts with the electronics of
the device (the datalogger is constantly supplied from the internal battery). An optional accessory is a prepaid IoT SIM card (order code
LP105) for sending data to the COMET Cloud. Please note that this card does not support the sending of SMS messages. The Ux8xxMsim
and Ux8xxGsim kits with built-in IoT SIM card (e.g. U0843Msim) allows the instant connection to the COMET Cloud.
Fasten the datalogger on the wall with two screws or insert it into the wall holder LP100 (optional accessory). The device always install
vertically (with the antenna facing up) into locations with sufficient mobile operator signal quality. Insufficient signal level can be in reinforced
concrete buildings, metal chambers and other shielded areas. The device can be operated as a portable –in this case protect it from falling
and observe the correct working position. The device and cables should be located as far as possible from potential interference sources.
Connect input cables
Remove the terminal block from the device, connect the wires (maximum wire cross-section 1.5 mm2 ) with either the supplied SP013
tool or a screwdriver corresponding to the size and the terminal block again push to the device
The maximum length of input cables should not exceed 30 m (recommended maximum cable length of the Pt1000/0 probe is 15 m).
The voltage, current and binary inputs are not each other galvanically isolated.
The current inputs (U6841M) are passive. The current loops cannot be powered from datalogger directly (use external power source)
Set-up the device
Connect the datalogger with attached cables to the computer. Use an USB cable with USB-C connector (max. cable length 3 m).
Run the installed COMET Vision software and from the device list select the datalogger you want to set up
Click on the Configuration button. The device configuration will be downloaded and you can change the setup of individual items.
Finally save the new configuration into the device (Apply changes)
The devices do not require special maintenance. We recommend checking the state of the battery (charge as needed) and regularly
verifying the accuracy of measurements with calibration.
WARNING - Read carefully the Safety information for dataloggers with modem before operating the device and observe it
during use!
- Installation, electrical connection and commissioning should only be performed by qualified personnel in accordance
with applicable regulations and standards
- Devices contain electronic components, it needs to liquidate them according to currently valid conditions.
- To complement the information in this data sheet read the manuals and other documentation, which are
available in the Download section for a particular device at www.cometsystem.com
