The sc1000 SD Card Connector/Slot
The sc1000 SD Card Connector is used to connect
MMC cards up to 1GB,
SD cards up to 1GB,
SD cards of 2GB (1),
SD cards compliantwith the SDHC standard (4 –32GB) (1),
Note (1): Cards with capacities of ≥2GB can only be connected, when sc1000 software v3.20 or higher
is running
Functionality of the SD Card Connector/Slot
Update the sc1000 system: All components of the sc1000 controller system and all connected
sc sensors can get software updates by uploading new software versions from the card to the
instruments.
Saving and restoring configuration and settings of devices, which are connected to the sc1000
controller. Device data is stored to the card. This data can later be sent back to the devices, to
restore the saved status.
Note: Restoring settings and configuration does not restore the content of data and event log.
Storing diagnostics data for a detailed analysis of error conditions by Service.
Getting (one time action) and logging (continuous action) of Data and Event log files from the
connected devices. The files are in <.csv> -format and can be imported to Excel to create
curves or to explore the data in detail.
How to get access to the sc1000 using the SD Card Connector/Slot
Required hardware:
Storage card with a size of 1GB or less for sc1000 Display software version 3.12 or lower.

Note (2): Old sc1000 controllers with serial numbers less than 1217178 need an extra MMC Adapter
(part no. YAB 902) for connecting storage cards –this applies for all types of cards (MMC, SD, and
SDHC). See figure2.
figure2: Connecting storage cards to old sc1000 controllers.
Connect the Storage Card to the sc1000 Display, contact stripes of the card to the bottom side.
When an MMC adapter is used (figure2), first insert the card to the adapter, and then insert
the adapter into the card slot of the Display Module. Avoid touching the card, while the
adapter is inserted.

When no Storage Card is connected, an MMC adapter is missing, or when the card size does not match
the running software version of the sc1000 controller, the screen SC1000 SETUP screen will not display
the “STORAGE CARD” option.
Note: After a Storage card is connected, it can take from 10 seconds up to several minutes before the
“STORAGE CARD” option will be visible in the menu. The time depends on card size and on the number
of files that are stored on the card. To minimize wait time, it is recommended to use an SD card which
has been cleared or even formatted before using it with the sc1000.
Appearance of the “STORAGE CARD” option indicates that access to the sc1000 SD Card has
successfully been established:
