2. Safety
2.1 Intended Use
The loggers EB-Logg80K and EB-Logg 80KH are especially designed for long-time monitoring
of temperatures.
The combination of low power consumption with high battery capacity ensure a long record-
ing time.
The last 250.000 measuring values are stores in the memory.
The LCD-display informs about the measured temperature and the operating status of the
logger.
Only technically qualified persons are permitted to carry out installation, commissioning,
operation and decommissioning. The qualified personnel must have carefully read and un-
derstood the operating manual before beginning any work.
This device must not be used at potentially explosive areas, as safety or emergency stop
devices or in any other application where failure of the product could result in personal in-
jury or material damage.
This device must not be used at a patient for diagnostic or other medical purpose.
The liability and warranty of the manufacturer for damages and consequential damages
are voided with misuse, disregard of this operating manual, assignment of inadequately
qualified technical personnel and arbitrary modifications of the product.
2.2 Safety signs and symbols
Warnings are labelled in this document with the followings signs:
Caution!
This symbol warns of imminent danger, death, serious injuries and signifi-
cant damage to property at non-observance
Attention!
This symbol warns of possible dangers or dangerous situations which can
provoke damage to the device or environment at non-observance.
Note!
This symbol point out processes which can indirectly influence operation
or provoke unforeseen reactions at non-observance.
2.3 Skilled personnel
are persons who are familiar with the set-up, installation, commissioning and operation of
the product and have appropriate qualification for their work. For example:
•Training or instruction and/or authorisation, power circuits and devices/systems in ac-
cordance with the standards of safety for activation, deactivation, disconnection, earthing
and identification.
•Training or instruction in accordance with the standard of safety technology for care and
use of suitable safety equipment.

To protect the battery, the maximum permissible storage and transport
temperature of the device is 70 °C
4.
Trouble-free operation and reliability of the device can only be guaranteed if the
device is not subjected to any other climatic conditions than those stated under
“Specification”.
5.
When connecting the device to other devices (e.g. PC) the interconnection has to
be designed most thoroughly as internal connections in third-party devices (e.g.
connection GND with protective earth) may lead to undesired voltage potentials.
6.
If there is a risk whatsoever involved in running it, the device has to be switched
off immediately and to be marked accordingly to avoid re-starting.
Operator safety may be a risk if:
- there is visible damage to the device.
- the device is not working as specified.
- the device has been stored under unsuitable conditions for a longer time.
In case of doubt, please return device to manufacturer for repair or maintenance.
7.

3. Product description
3.1 Required accessory
The logger is configured, 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 EB-Logg
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 EB-Logg 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.

Notice: If you have activated one of the following options
• “logger stop via buttons disabled”
• “do not stop active logger”
at the configuration of the logger the menu to
stop the recording cannot be called.
6.3 Operating possibilities via software GSOFT 40K
You can easily operate the logger via the software GSOFT 40K (> V7.14). This software
provides a variety of functions to operate the logger. For example:
•start and stop the logger
•read out the logger data; illustrate them graphically and save them
•adjust the alarm boundaries and alarm delay *1
•activate the function: “logger stop via buttons disabled“
*1Please note: The alarm settings and the sea-level correction can be only changed
if the logger is stopped (= logger without logger data).
6.4 Operating possibilities via software EASYBus-Configurator
The software EASYBus-Configurator (> V2.0) is needed to change the configuration set-
tings.
With that software the following adjustment are additionally possible.
•Offset and slope adjustment for each measured variable *2
•Activation of the function: “do not stop active logger”
*2Please note: This can be only changed if the logger is stopped (=logger without log-
ger data)
7. Battery life time and recording period
Measuring cycle: 4 sec 3 min 15 min 5 h
Recording period: 11.5 days 521 days 7.1 years 142 years
Battery life time: -- -- ca. 5 years --
Please note: Short measuring cycles seriously reduce the battery life time!
In this case you should consider not unplugging the EASYBus-inter-
face.
Then the logger is supplied via the interface.
The internal battery is spared.

8. Operating displays
The logger provides two LCD-displays: 7 mm (main display) and
5.8 mm (secondary display).
8.1 Measured value display
The LCD mainly displays the measured values:
a)
AL Logg
MEASURED VALUE DISPLAY
a) main display: temperature [°C]
sec. display: empty
•The arrow “Logg“ indicates that the logger is recording.
•The arrow "AL" indicates that an alarm is present.
8.2 Logger status messages
At stand-alone-operation (= no EASYBus connected) logger status messages are dis-
played.
STOP:
The logger recording has been ›stopped‹.
The logger memory is empty.
Note: At this state the power consumption is at its
minimum.
HOLD:
The logger recording has been ›halted‹. No data is stored,
but the logger memory contains data.
The number of the saved recording sets is shown at the
secondary display.
START DELAY:
The logger is activated, but no data is recorded yet.
As soon as the start delay is run out the logger begins with the
recording according to the programmed starting condition.
START ALARM:
The logger is activated, but no data is recorded yet.
The logger begins with the recording as soon as the measured
values are within the selected min- and max-alarm boundaries.

8.3 System messages
BATTERY:
•display of the BAT-arrow left hand down:
The battery is almost spent and needs to be replaced as soon as
possible.
The data recording is still active.
• permanent display BAT:
The battery is spent and the recording has been automatically
stopped (even if at EASYBus-operation).
It is still partly possible to read the measured values and to
read-out the saved logger data.
=> Please return the logger to the manufacturer.
ERROR 7:
The logger has detected a system error.
• remedy: Reset the error via GSOFT 40K.
If the error message is displayed furthermore please
send the logger to the manufacturer for repair.
8.4 Alarm and error messages
The following messages correspond to a particular measuring channel and are dis-
played accordingly.
ALARM LOW:
The measured value is below the selected min-alarm limit.
This and the current value is displayed alternately.
ALARM HIGH:
The measured value is above the selected max-alarm limit.
This and the current value is displayed alternately.
ERROR 1:
The measuring range of this channel is exceeded.
ERROR 2:
The measuring range of this channel is under-run.
ERROR 9:
The channel provides invalid values.
ERROR 11:
The variable could not be calculated, because the measuring
range has been exceeded or a measured value, that is needed for
the calculation, is not available or faulty.
Note: A description of the possible reasons for that error messages is in
chapter 12 (FAQ).
