Introduction
Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the GL2000 midi LOGGER HV.
Please read this manual thoroughly before attempting to use your new product to ensure that you use it correctly
and to its full potential.
Notes on Use
Be sure to read all of the following notes before attempting to use the GL2000 midi LOGGER HV.
1. Note on the CE Marking
The GL2000 midi LOGGER HV complies with the following standards.
• EN 61326-1 standard is based on the EMC Directive
• EN 61010-1 standard is based on the Low Voltage Directive (LVD)
Although the GL2000 complies with the above-mentioned standards, be sure to use it correctly in accordance
with the instructions and notes provided in this manual.
Moreover, use of the GL2000 by incorrect procedures may result in damage to the GL2000 or may invalidate
use.
2. Warning
This is a Class A product according to the EMC directive. In a domestic environment, this product may cause
radio interference or may be affected by radio interference to the extent that proper measurement cannot be
performed.
3. Notes for Safe Operation
(1) Be sure to use the Graphtec-supplied AC adapter. In environments where there is a lot of noise or where
the power supply is unstable, we recommend that you ground the GL2000.
(2) When a high-voltage signal cable has been connected to the main unit’s analog signal input terminal,
avoid touching the leads of the input terminal’s signal cable to prevent electrical shock due to high voltage.
(3) Ensure that the GL2000 power source is positioned so that it can easily be disconnected.
consider a noise and change in measurement voltage.
• Please take care of static electricity when connecting an input cable or a thermocouple.
• Do not touch the tip of thermocouples with bare hand after the thermocouples are connected to the
terminal of this device if the tip of thermocouples is not insulated.
The static electricity from a human body will cause damage to the device.
• Do not put the tip of thermocouples to an object which contains static electricity if the tip of thermocouples
is not insulated. The static electricity of object will cause damage to this device.
• Do not put the tip of thermocouples to an object which contains leaked high voltage of chassis or metal
etc. if the tip of thermocouples is not insulated.
The leaked high voltage from object will cause damage to the device.
• We recommend that the insulation tape puts on the tip of thermocouples before connecting the
thermocouples to the input terminals.
This will protect this device from the static electricity and the leaked high voltage.

Introduction
4. Notes on Functions and Performance
(1) Be sure to connect the main unit to an AC or DC power supply that conforms to the rated range.
Connecting the device to a non-rated power supply may cause the main unit to overheat and break down.
(2) Do not block the vent on the main unit.
Continued operation with the blocked vent may cause the main unit to overheat and break down.
(3) To avoid malfunctions and other damage, avoid using GL2000 in the following locations.
• Places exposed to high temperature and/or high humidity, such as in direct sunlight or near
• Outdoor
heatingequipment.
Allowable temperature range: 0 to 40°C (When AC adapter or battery is operated)
: 15 to 25°C (Battery being charged)
Allowable humidity range: 5 to 85%R.H., non-condensing
• Locations subject to excessive salt spray or heavy fumes from corrosive gas or solvents.
• Excessively dusty locations.
• Locations subject to strong vibrations or shock.
• Locations subject to surge voltages and/or electromagnetic interference.
(4) If the main unit becomes soiled, wipe clean using a soft, dry cloth. Use of organic solvents (such as
thinner or benzene) causes deterioration and discoloration of the outer casing.
(5) Do not use GL2000 in the vicinity of other devices which are susceptible to electromagnetic interference.
is subject to strong electromagnetic interference.
(7) Insofar as possible, position GL2000 input signal cables away from any other cables which are likely to be
affected by electromagnetic interference.
(8) For stabilized measurement, allow GL2000 to warm up for at least 30 minutes after turning the power on.

GL2000 can capture up to DC ± 600V or AC 600V with maximum 1 μs sampling.
Large capacity of measured data can be saved directly in the internal memory, SD card, or USB memory.
As PC interface is equipped with USB and Ethernet, the system can be congured in accordance to
application environment. Since it is equipped with the WEB server and the FTP server as part of the
Ethernet function, you can monitor and transfer data remotely.
1.2 Features
Input
• Using M3.5 screw terminal or BNC terminal, input terminal can easily be wired.
•Can measure voltage, temperature, effective value (RMS).
Display & Operation
• With this device’s high-resolution 7-inch TFT color liquid crystal display, you can conrm the waveforms of
measured data and channel settings at a glance.
•Easy operation is achieved through a straightforward menu structure and key allocation which resembles
a mobile phone.
Data Capture
• This device can capture at up to 1 μs capturing interval to the Internal RAM .
• Measure for an extended period at high speed to the Internal RAM with 4M word per CH.
It is useful the Internal RAM can be divided up to 8 segments to repeat measurement in continuous mode.
• It can to capture up to 4GByte data to the internal memory, SD memory card and USB memory.
• Large capacity of measured data can be saved directly into the internal memory, SD card, or USB
memory.
• Using SD card or USB memory as additional memory, measure for an extended period while backing the
data up for additional storage media.
•The new ring memory capture function maintains latest data even after capturing for a long term. (You
need to set how long you want to keep the data.)
• GL2000 is equipped with the relay capturing function, and 4GByte or more data can be saved by
switching the to the other le without missing any data.
Data Control & Processing
•The application software lets you set conditions and monitor data on a PC in real time.
• With the USB drive mode function, you can recognize the GL2000 internal memory and SD card as an
external drive from a PC.
(Connect the GL2000 to the PC and turn the GL2000 power while holding down the [START] key.)
• The FTP client function enables backup of measurement data to the FTP server.
• The WEB server function enables control and monitoring from a remote location without using dedicated
software.
•The NTP client function enables synchronization of the time with the NTP server.

1.5 Notes on Temperature Measurement
Please observe the following precautions when taking temperature measurement.
• Do not block the air vents. Always provide a space of at least 30 cm on all sides of this device.
• For stabilized temperature measurement, allow this device to warm up for at least 30 minutes after turning
the power on.
•Exposure of the input terminals to direct drafts, direct sunlight, or abrupt changes in temperature may
impair the equilibrium of the input parts and result in measurement errors. To measure temperature in
such an environment, take appropriate countermeasures such as changing the installation site of this
device or properly ground the equipment.
• To conduct measurement in noisy environments, connect this device’s GND terminal to ground (Refer to
“2.15 Noise Countermeasures”.).
• If the measured value uctuates due to noise, set FILTER to other than OFF in the input setting menu of
this device.
1.6 Notes on Using the Monitor
The monitor is an LCD display unit. The display will vary depending on the operating environment.
If a screen saver function is used, it will operate and clear the screen if no operations are performed
during the preset time. When pressing any of the operation keys, the screen saver is released and the
screen display is started.
•Condensation may form on the LCD screen if this device is moved from a cold to a warm location. If this
occurs, wait until the LCD screen warms up to room temperature.
•The LCD screen is manufactured to extremely high precision. Black dots may appear, or red, blue, and
green dots may appear. Likewise, lines may appear when viewed from certain angles. These phenomena
are due to the LCD screen construction, and are not signs of a defect.
1.7 Changing the Display Language
You can select the language displayed on the screen. The default display language is set to English for
worldwide market. To change the display language, see the instructions in "OTHER:Language".
