1 ECOLOG-PRO Base
Description
The ECOLOG-PRO Base is a simple, autonomous
central monitoring unit for the network-capable
ECOLOG-PRO and ECOLOG-NET data loggers. It is the
kernel of the Plug&Play solution for the networked
monitoring of rooms and equipment. All the required soft-
ware is pre-installed on the PC designed for maximum
reliability. It provides extensive compatibility with proven
ECOLOG-NET data loggers and ECOLOG-PRO
modules.
This manual is a quick and simple reference guide to
initial startup of up the ECOLOG-PRO Base. However, it
contains no basic principles on setting up or operating a
network.
ECOLOG-PRO Base, 801417
Application:
Maximum number of measuring
data points
50 measuring data
points
Memory capacity 18 months, older data is automatically deleted month by month by the system.
Data security - Internal non-volatile memory
- External USB drive, drive letter G
Data logger compatibility ECOLOG-NET, ECOLOG-PRO
Internal clock - Drift ± 11 minutes / year
- Backup battery
Antennas The device may only be operated with the supplied antennas.
IMPORTANT: Do not use an extension cable between the ECOLOG-PRO Base
and the antenna connections.

Power supply External power supply unit
Follow the safety and application instructions for the power supply unit. Only
operate the device using the supplied power supply unit. Use of an incorrect
power supply unit may cause damage to the device. Always replace defective
or damaged power supply units.
UPS batteries Material safety data sheets in compliance with EEC Directive 93/112/EC and
shipment recommendations are available from ELPRO. Do not subject batteries
to mechanical stress or damage them. Leaking battery fluid is highly corrosive
and may generate severe heat or may cause a fire if it comes in contact with
moisture.
Environmental conditions Application: 0°C to 40°C
Temperatures above 100°C may damage the battery.
Application: 10% RH to 95% RH, non-condensing
Protection class: IP20, ingress of water / humidity may cause damage to
the device.
IR radiation (heat) and superheated steam may damage the surface
coating of the casing.
No guarantee can be given if functions exceed the specified threshold
range.
MAKE SURE THE ECOLOG-PRO BASE IS AT ROOM TEMPERA-
TURE BEFORE INITIAL STARTUP.
Casing To clean the modules, use a slightly moist cloth. Never use thinner,
gasoline, alcohol, or any other cleaning agents since they may damage
the casing.

4 Operating Modes
4.1 Connection via SWITCH (operated autonomously)
Ethernet cable
- Connection between the individual modules
by an external switch
- ECOLOG-PRO Base is connected to the
switch by LAN.
- The following I/O modules can be connected
by LAN:
- ECOLOG-PRO LBR
- ECOLOG-NET LR8
- ECOLOG-NET LP4
- ECOLOG-NET LA8
Application example - Using the system in an autonomous network
- All components are connected to a switch.
- No connection to the web
Conditions Autonomous as stand-alone solution.
Security No security against malware transferred directly when the USB port to the
ECOLOG-PRO Base is used. The ECOLOG-PRO Base has no WINDOWS
Defender and carries out no automatic WINDOWS updates.

4.2 Integration in Customer Network
Higher-level network
- ECOLOG-PRO Base is integrated in the
customer network by LAN (or WLAN).
- The following I/O modules can be connected
by LAN:
- ECOLOG-PRO LBR
- ECOLOG-NET LR8
- ECOLOG-NET LP4
- ECOLOG-NET LA8
Application example - Using the system in the customer network
- All components are connected over the customer LAN (Local Area
Network) or WAN (Wide Area Network).
- A connection to the web is possible (required for remote support from
ELPRO using TeamViewer).
Conditions The network is the responsibility of the customer.
Requirements:
- Permanent accessibility of components in the network
- Response time: <100 ms
Security The ECOLOG-PRO Base has no firewall of its own and must therefore
receive its external protection from the customer network.
