➢To switch on the data collector, press key
The data collector switches on: it displays all the digits, then the home screen which indicates “on”.
➢To switch off the data collector, press key for 5 seconds
The data collector displays “off” and switches off.
4.4 Auto-off
To save battery power, after 5 minutes without activity, the data collector automatically switches off.

Send a new configuration on the Kistock devices
and start an other dataset
When the icon appears: data transfer is in progress
REC
Flashing slowly: data collector reached etween 70 and 80% of its storage capacity
Flashing quickly: data collector reached etween 80 and 90% of its storage capacity
Constant: data collector reached etween 90 and 100% of its storage capacity
FULL
Constant: indicates that the attery has to e recharged
Flashing: charging attery

If the dataset is in progress:
The Kistock displays *
The data collector displays ”Stop YES”.
Confirm dataset stop by pressing OK key (to cancel, press elect.,
“ top NO” is displayed then press OK).
The data collector displays the data transfer progression: 0-100%.
The dataset recorded by the Kistock is stored on the data
collector.
4.6 Kistock – data collector interface
4.6.1 Download the Kistoc data on the data collector
Procedure to download data:
When data are transferred from the Kistock to the data collector, these measurement data are copied. Only the
sending of a new configuration with the data collector or the Kilog 20 5 software allows to start an other dataset
(see procedure described page 9).
Device use 7
REC
If the data collector does not detect any point to download:
The data collector displays “No Pts” error message.
This message indicates that the dataset did not start already or that
the first point is not recorded yet.
Check that the dataset started:
If the Kistock is still waiting for dataset to start, it displays
flashing icon*.
Press the data collector OK key to start the dataset.
The data collector displays “Start Yes”.
Press OK to confirm (to cancel, press elect., “ top no” displays
then press OK).
If the dataset is finished:
The Kistock displays *
The data collector displays the data transfer progression: 0-100%
The dataset recorded by the Kistock is stored on the data
collector.

4.6.2 Reconfigure the Kistoc and start an other measurement dataset
Once the measurement dataset is transferred to the data collector (see the downloading procedure page 7), it is possible to
start an other dataset directly from the data collector.
Two recording configurations can be sent:
•“Loop”: values are recorded continuously and when the storage capacity is full, the first recorded values are
overwritten by the new ones.
OR
•“Total memory”: values are recorded until the storage capacity of the device is reached.
The configuration which is sent depends on the Kistock last configuration
Initial configuration: top type Configuration sent by the data collector: top type

Other configuration parameters (recording intervals, stop by button, etc.) remain unchanged.
If a configuration different from “Loop” or “Total memory” recording mode is required, please use the Kilog 2015
software: for more details about device configuration via software, please see the Kilog 2015 software user
manual.
8Device use

Procedure to send a new configuration:
Once the dataset is transferred to the data collector (see downloading procedure described page 7, screens to 3):
When a new configuration is sent on the Kistock with the data collector, two types of start can be sent: start by PC
or start by button. The type of start which is sent depends on an immediate start or not of the dataset with the
data collector.
Device use 9
No new configuration is sent:
The Kistock displays *.
The data collector displays “On”.
No new configuration has been sent on the Kistock.
To start a new measurement dataset, reconfigure the device
with the data collector, following the opposite procedure, or
with the Kilog 2015 software (please see the Kilog 20 5 software
user manual).
A new configuration is sent:
The Kistock displays flashing icon*.
Device is waiting for start.
The data collector displays “On”.
A new configuration has been sent but
the dataset did not start.
The Kistock is automatically configured with
a type of start by button: the new dataset
can be started by pressing the OK key of the
Kistock.
An other measurement dataset starts:
The data collector displays the new
configuration transfer progression: 0-100%
then displays “On”.
The Kistock displays *
A new configuration has been sent and
an other measurement dataset starts.
The Kistock is automatically configured
with type of start by PC.
