3. Product description
3.1 Required accessory
The EASYLOG 80NS-…is configurated, started and read-out via the EASYBus-interface.
Therefore the following accessories are required:
Level converter
- RS232 <> EASYBus (i.e. EBW 1, EBW 64, EBW 240)
- USB <> EASYBus (i.e. EBW 3)
Connecting cable: level converter to EASYLOG
GSOFT 40K (version >7.14):
Windows software to start the logger and read out the logger-data
EASYBus-Configurator (version >2.0):
for the configuration of the extended settings
3.2 Notes on the logger’s delivery status
The delivered logger is in a “sleep mode”, that means nothing is displayed and the
power consumption is at its minimum. When there is a communication with the software
for the first time, the EASYLOG leaves the sleep mode and ›Stop‹ is displayed. Then the
device is ready for operation.
Note: That sleep mode (nothing is displayed) cannot be restored again.
“Stop“ or “Halt“ are similar to the sleep mode. Both of that operation
modes ensure minimum consumption.
Note: Logger start over keypad:
before logger start over keypad, logger time must be adjust with
GSOFT 40K.
3.3 Programming of the display range
The display range, position of decimal point and the display unit can be set by the
EASYBus-Configurator software.
Furthermore, it can be used to read out sensor information (unit type, serial number,
address, etc.) and to program the alarm points of the logger.

In the angle-type plug the male contacts 1, 3 and 4
are directly connected 1:1 with the socket. The
EASYLOG (Rs = 50 Ohm) is located between the male
contact 2 (-) and the jack 2 (+).
If the 'Signal/GND'- line in your transmitter is not as-
signed to contact 2, please do not forget to adjust
the EASYLOG -angle-type plug accordingly.
To do so open the EASYLOG -angle-type plug and exchange the red wire of contact 2
against the wire of the contact representing the signal 'Signal/GND' in your transmitter.
Then exchange and/or rewire the two contacts in the angle-type plug of your connecting
cable.

In the angle-type plug the male contacts 1, 2 and 4
are directly connected 1:1 with the socket. The
EASYLOG (Rs = 50 Ohm) is located between the male
contact 3 (-) and the jack 3 (+).
If the 'Signal/GND'- line in your transmitter is not as-
signed to contact 3, please do not forget to adjust
the EASYLOG -angle-type plug accordingly.
To do so open the EASYLOG -angle-type plug and exchange the black wire of contact 3
against the wire oft he contact representing the signal 'Signal/GND' in your transmitter.
Then exchange and/or rewire the two contacts in the angle-type plug of your connecting
cable.
Input signal: 0-1V, 0-2V, 0-10V
In the angle-type plug the 4 male contacts are directly connected 1:1 with the socket. The
EASYLOG connection is on contact 1 (signal +) and contact 2 (signal - ).
If your transmitter assignments for the ‘signal+’ and ‘signal-‘ are different, please do not
forget to adjust male contacts of your angle-type plug accordingly:
To do so open the EASYLOG -angle-type plug and remove the red and the blue wires en-
tering the housing from the coupling of the angle-type plug. Connect wires with the re-
spective contacts, representing signal + (blue wire) and signal –(red wire) at your trans-
mitter.
5.3 Connection advice
If more than EASYBUS-sensor modules are connected at the same EASYBUS, the input
signals of each EASYBUS-sensor module (e.g. EASYLOG 80NS…, EASYLOG 80IMP,
EBN) has to be isolated from the others.
