1. GENERAL
1.1. System description
DiNLOG is a complete, standalone solution for monitoring the status of the diesel particles and diesel
particulate filter. Its function is achieved through continuous measurement, display and logging of
exhaust gas temperature, back pressure, engine speed (rpm) and NOx /O2(optionally).
The values received from the sensors are evaluated and compared with preconfigured settings to
determine whether user intervention or maintenance is needed. For example, if the back pressure values
become too high (indicating that the filter is clogged) or too low (indicating that the filter is damaged), the
system will both alert the user with a visual and audible alarm and save the event in the logger memory.
Alarms generated by an event, together with the visual indications, remain active until the source (e.g.,
measured value) returns to normal levels. Audible notifications are switched off after the alarm is
acknowledged by the user.
The driver can observe the system operation by checking if the exhaust system temperature is within
optimal values for filter operation. If a back-pressure alarm is generated, the driver can raise the
temperature of the exhaust gases by increasing the engine speed and therefore can initiate the system
cleaning. When the back pressure is within the normal values again, visual warning will be turned off.
Additionally, the monitoring system can be connected to the PC software for online data monitoring, data
examination or system programming.

2.4. Installation instructions
IMPORTANT: DISCONNECT THE BATTERY PRIOR TO THE INSTALLATION!
2.4.1. LogBase 04 installation
The LogBase 04 is to be vertically mounted (i.e., its connector positioned downwards), securely fixed and
installed in a position protected against water, excessive heat, and mechanical shock.
The device has two mounting holes, one on each side, with the pressure connection and device connector
being located next to each other.
The connector plug on the logger connects to the cable harness and has a security lock to prevent unwanted
disconnection. To remove the connector from the plug, press the black locking tab firmly and pull connector
from the plug.

2.4.2. OnRoad Panelbox
OnRoad Panelbox should be installed inside the driver’s cabin and securely fixed. If necessary, it can be
disassembled using a flat screwdriver. Pry the back side of the housing and use the screws to fix the back-
side plastic to the appropriate location inside the driver’s’ cabin.
OnRoad Panelbox is connected to the cable harness via the RJ45 connector
Figure 2.10. OnRoad Panelbox RJ 45 connection
2.4.3. Pressure sensor
LogBase 04 uses an integrated pressure sensor which needs to be connected to the diesel particulate filter
connection point using the pressure sensor connection kit. The connection between the sensor and the
filter should be properly sealed and secured from excessive heat sources (e.g., nearby heated
components).
To prevent build-up of condensate, connection should be made in the rising direction (i.e., pointing
upwards). Minimum length between the filter and sensor should be 150 cm. The stainless-steel pipe should
be inserted into the filter approx. 3 cm deep and connected using the provided ¼ NPT fitting.
Important: The stainless-steel pipe should not be cut to length but wound into multiple coils with the coils
facing up (rising upwards). Any looping, twisting, or pinching of the high temperature hose is forbidden.
To prevent deposit build-ups which can cause the pressure probe to malfunction, a standard moisture
separator (optional component) must be installed between the pressure probe and the stainless-steel
pipe.
Stainless-steel pipe is then connected onto the high temperature hose which is ultimately connected to the
DiNLOG LogBase 04.

Page | 12 Rev 1.6
2.4.4. Temperature sensor
LogBase 04 uses a standard automotive grade K-Type sensor probe that comes as a part of the cable
harness. The connection between LogBase 04 and filter should be properly secured from excessive heat
sources (e.g., nearby heated components).
Temperature sensor probe should be inserted into the filter approx. 5 cm deep and connected using the
provided ¼ NPT fitting. The sensor tip should be facing directly into the flowing exhaust gases. If this is not
possible then the probe should be inserted deeper into the filter, while making sure that the filter is not
damaged by it. The temperature sensor cable should be secured to the fixed components, and away from
the heated ones.
Figure 2.12.Temperature sensor probe
2.4.5. Cable harness
IMPORTANT: DISCONNECT THE BATTERY PRIOR TO THE INSTALLATION!
When installing the cable harness, make sure that all the system components (sensors, display devices),
as well as the power supply connections to the battery are made before connecting the LogBase 04 to its
cable harness connector.
The red wire (logger power supply) of the cable harness should be connected to the battery connector using
the fuse kit. The red/black wire (ignition signal) should be connected to the ignition switch. The black wire
(ground connection) should be connected to the chassis. The white / black wire (RPM input) should be
connected to the W terminal of the alternator or similar RPM sensing output. If the Input/Output, i.e., RPM,
wire is left unconnected, make sure it is properly insulated to avoid unwanted short circuit connections.
After all the above connections are made, connect the battery connectors to the battery itself, power up the
vehicle, and check if the EMS system is powered up and running.
Cable harness itself is modular and therefor makes the installation easier.

2.5. Initial setup
Initial setup (i.e., configuration) of the system needs to be performed after all the previously mentioned
installation steps are done for it to function properly.
For the system to log the data correctly, the time / date should be set. Also, if the engine speed is monitored,
alternator frequency factor should be set.
Important: If the device is not connected to the power supply for more than 10 days, the time / date should
be set again after the system is powered up. Otherwise, the data will not be logged correctly.
Default system settings are listed below. Check to make sure whether they are appropriate for your system,
and, if not, adjust them accordingly. Instructions on how to configure the system with the OnRoad Panelbox
are available in the next chapter.

3.1.3.3.1. Alternator frequency factor
IMPORTANT: When setting the alternator frequency factor (aff), enter also the first decimal place for greater
accuracy. In other words, if the aff = 36, the value you enter is 360 (aff x 10).
Number of revolutions per minute (rpm) is measured as the number of pulses per minute on the alternator
/ generator. Depending of the alternator it could output 4 –8 pulses per revolution. If you don’t know the
alternator frequency factor (from alternator model) you could calculate it. To calculate alternator frequency
factor, you need to know the diameter of the crankshaft V-belt pulley and the alternator V-belt pulley, and
then calculate it using the following formula:
𝒂𝒇𝒇 = 𝒅𝟏
𝒅𝟐
𝒙 𝒑
aff = alternator frequency factor
𝑑1–diameter of the crankshaft V-belt pulley
𝑑2- diameter of the alternator V-belt pulley
p –alternator number of pulses per revolution
3.1.3.3.2. Data saving period
This number represents the interval time (in seconds) for saving data in the logger memory. For the default

3.1.3.3.3. Time and date
IMPORTANT: The time & date settings are crucial for the logging of data so they must be entered correctly.
Except in the case of daylight savings time (i.e. ± 1 hour), a change of the date and time parameters,
renders all data logged until that point invalid, i.e. it becomes inaccessible.
The data logged needs to be uncorrupted in any case, especially if DPF is malfunctioning (inside warranty
period) the data logged could be used as the evidence for the DPF distributor.
3.1.3.3.4. Program version / Serial No
In this section, the user can see some important data relating to the system itself, i.e. hardware and software
versions of both the LogBase 04 and the OnRoad Panelbox, the installation date, and the serial number of
the logger.
•Top left: Panel software version
•Top right: Logger software version
•Bottom left: installation date
•Bottom right: LogBase 04 serial number
Installation date is automatically set. LogBase 04 needs to operate for more than 8 hours for installation
date to be set.
This way we make sure that logged data are uncorrupted and can be used as evidence, if DPF fails for
example.
