E NCLOSURE AND M OUNTING
The IntelliLogger is housed in a rugged anodized aluminum housing. The housing is not
weatherproo , so or deployment in harsh environments one o the housed systems should be
considered (Contact Logic Beach about the IL-250, IL-300).
The IntelliLogger can be sur ace mounted using the IL Mounting Bracket (PN 3539.30010). This
lat plate is irst astened to the back o the IntelliLogger using the screws provided with the
Mounting Bracket, then mounted to the desired installation sur ace.
Figure 2-1; Mounting the IntelliLogger

Using the IntelliLogger™ 1
Additional ILIM-x Inter ace Modules can be astened in a stair-step method to the bottom o the
IntelliLogger. Back mounting o modules in this way requires the use o the Module Mounting
Bracket (PN 3539.30000). Two or three modules can be mounted in this ashion.
Figure 2-2; Back Mounting Modules

Using the IntelliLogger™ 14
U SER I NTERFACE
Various ront panel eatures are built into the IntelliLogger to provide local user inter ace as
well as eedback.
BUTTONS
Located along the le t edge o the ront panel are ive momentary push buttons providing
basic IntelliLogger operational control. Details on the button unctions ollow:
NEXT and SELECT
The NEXT and SELECT buttons are used or User control o the liquid crystal
display (LCD) in ormation displays. Pressing NEXT will advance the LCD display
to the next menu item at the current menu level. Pressing the SELECT button
selects that menu item and a new level o menus or results are displayed.
A detailed explanation o the operation o the NEXT and SELECT buttons is
covered in a later section on the Liquid Crystal Display.
ENABLE
The ENABLE button initiates the execution o the current Program Net residing in
IntelliLogger memory. Upon pressing the ENABLE button, the LCD will normally
change to display ENABLED.
FYI: The label ENABLE was chosen rather than START for a subtle
but important reason. When the ENABLE button is pressed
execution of the Program Net commences... but that does not
necessarily mean that data logging to memory has started.
For example a Program Net is developed and uploaded to the
IntelliLogger that includes a setpoint function that controls logging to
memory. For example log only when the kiln temperature exceeds
150F. Pressing the ENABLE button merely causes the IntelliLogger
to take readings of the kiln temperature... but logging to memory
STARTS when the temperature rises above the 150F threshold.
STOP
Pressing STOP at any time causes the IntelliLogger to inish sequencing through
the currently executing Program Net, then stop executing. The LCD then
updates to show STOPPED.
RESET
A hardware reset o the IntelliLogger microprocessor can be per ormed by
depressing and releasing both the STOP and RESET buttons at the same time.
This normally should not be required but in the event that an extreme noise glitch
or some other mal unction occurs, this manual Reset capability is provided to
allow user reset o the microprocessor rom the ront panel.

Using the IntelliLogger™ 15
W ATCH -D OG T IMER RESET
A special automatic reset circuit is incorporated into the System Base to add additional
reliability to the IntelliLogger system. This circuitry, called a Watch-Dog Timer will orce
the IntelliLogger microprocessor to reset and continue operation where it le t o (within 2
seconds) in the event that an un oreseen hiccup or noise glitch ( or example, rom a
nearby lightning strike) causes the microprocessor to lose its place or lock-up.
Although this circuit normally should not operate, it adds one more level o robustness to
the IntelliLogger or handling un oreseen events.
POWER SWITCH
An ON/OFF power switch is provided in the upper right corner o the IntelliLogger. As with an
unexpected power ailure (e.g. batteries going dead), cycling the power switch o while the
IntelliLogger is logging will not result in a loss o data in memory. The IntelliLogger circuitry
detects the collapsing supply voltage and quickly closes out all data logging. Upon return o
power (either due to cycling the power switch back ON or reconnection o external power, the
IntelliLogger will awaken, assess its status prior to the power ailure and continue on. I it was
logging when a power ailure occurred it will commence logging.
STATUS INDICATOR LEDS
Two green LED indicators (labeled Status) are located at the center top o the IL ront panel.
These indicators are under Program Net control and can be programmed by the user or
desired visual eedback such as temperature is in bounds, pump is on, etc.
LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY
An extended temperature range 4-line by 20-character liquid crystal display (LCD) is provided.
In ormation ranging rom Operational Mode to System Status to Alarm Messages to signal
readings can all be displayed on the LCD. The LCD is continually ON. In ormation to be
displayed is controlled by a User via the SELECT and NEXT ronts panel buttons.
Additionally, alarm messages will be automatically displayed on the LCD when User pre-
programmed conditions are met or when the IntelliLogger detects system changes. User
messages and conditions are de ined by the User in the Program Net developed within
HyperWare-II and loaded into IntelliLogger memory. Re er to Appendix A (Program Net
Palette Icon Re erence) in the HyperWare-II manual or details on programming LCD
messages.
Display Operation
In ormation that can be displayed on the LCD is arranged in a hierarchical ormat
and is accessed by a User via the NEXT and the SELECT buttons on the ront
panel o the IntelliLogger.
Pressing the NEXT button advances the display to the next available item in that
menu level. Repetitive presses o the NEXT button will result in a circular
sequencing through all o the available menu items on the current level and
eventual repeat o the sequence.
Pressing the SELECT button selects that menu item and a new level o menus or
results are displayed.

Using the IntelliLogger™ 16
TIP - a basic comprehension of this LCD menu structure can be
achieved by close reading of this section... but better results may be
achieved by just `diving in’ and poking around with the NEXT and
SELECT buttons to develop a feel for the structure. .
Basic Display Hierarchy
The ollowing is a Listing o the LCD menu structure that can be accessed via the
Next and Select buttons.
H OME M ENU
When other menus are not manually selected, the Home Display is shown. In ormation
displayed includes the Model, Firmware (internal code) version number and two lines o
Operational and Status messages which indicate what tasks the IntelliLogger is currently
per orming (e.g. Enabled, Downloading data, Stopped, etc).
From the Home Menu, tapping Next will advance the display through a sequence o top
level menus. At any top-level menu, tapping Select will advance the LCD deeper into that
particular branch.
From the Home Menu, pressing Next takes you to… in order…
E NTER D ATA M ARKER
Allows insertion o pre-de ined text into the logged data ile. This can be use ul or noting
when changes are made to the IntelliLogger location, sensors, etc such as in a mobile
survey application. The text messages are de ined within the Program Net prior to
deployment
S TATUS
Provides a sequence o system in ormation displays including such items as date/time,
memory status, Unit Name, supply and backup memory voltages, hardware listing, etc.
P ROBE P OINT
Allows or viewing (via manual selection or automatic advancement) o current ‘Probe
Point’ values. These Probe Point values are temperatures, pressures, totals, lows, and
other actual or calculated analog and digital values that have been previously tagged
within the Program Net. Re er to the Probe Point icon within Appendix A (Program Net
Palette Icon Re erence).
A CTIVE M ESSAGES
System and conditional messages (e.g. alarms) can be reviewed within this branch.
Custom messages can be developed within the Program Net to display upon events,
alarms, warning conditions, etc.
C HANGE A LARM S TATES
Allows ront panel control o the various hardware outputs in the System Base such as
relays, digital output, etc. Via the ront panel and LCD, the outputs can be orced ON or
OFF as well as returned to Program Net control.
E RASE L OGGED D ATA
Allows or ront panel erasure o data logged to internal or removable Compact Flash card
memory… assuming that the currently executing Program Net has enabled this unction.
F ORMAT CF C ARD
Allows or ront panel ormatting o a non- ormatted Compact Flash memory card…
assuming that the Program Net has enabled this unction.

Using the IntelliLogger™ 17
INDICATORS
Front panel LED indicators provide eedback on status o relay outputs, Ethernet connection
and User de ined logic signals within a Program Net. Use o these indicators is detailed in
ollowing sections.
P OWER AND G ROUND C ONNECTIONS
The IntelliLogger requires low-voltage (7-30Vdc) external power to operate. Power can be
provided rom sources such as batteries or the supplied 120Vac to 12Vdc power adapter (PN
DCXF-115/12).
Two numbered, 18 position pluggable terminal strips are provided along the right edge o the
IntelliLogger with associated labeling on the ront panel. Wiring connections can be made with
the terminal strip installed or these terminal strips can be unplugged rom their mating
connector and wiring connections made.
POWER AND GROUND
Power and ground connections are made via the top terminal strip at connections numbered
15 through 17. For installations with a single power source, connect the power source
Positive lead to Terminal 17 (Vdc+) and the Negative lead to Terminal 16 (Gnd).
Some applications may have two power sources such as a utility powered wall trans ormer
and a backup battery. For these applications, the wall trans ormer leads can be connected as
mentioned above and the backup battery can be connected with its Positive lead (black and
white) to Terminal 15 (Vbatt) and the battery Negative lead (black) to the shared Terminal 16
(Gnd). Re er to Figure 2-3.
Figure 2- ; Shared External Power Connections
Warning
In shared power supply installations, be ore making electrical
connection to the IntelliLogger insure that the ‘ground’ o the two
power sources can be connected together without problems.

Using the IntelliLogger™ 18
CHASSIS GROUND
For optimum system accuracy and protection o the IntelliLogger rom electrostatic discharge
damage, it is highly recommended that an Earth ground connection be made to Terminal 18
(ChGnd). Ideally a short wire will be connected rom this terminal to a known Earth ground
connection such as an electrical panel ground in industrial environments or a ground rod
driven 6’ into the Earth in outdoor/remote installations. Ensure that the lead does not have
excessive length or coils as this adds inductance and lessens the e ective protection.
POWER FUSE
An over-current use is provided in the System Base and is the topmost use visible projecting
slightly rom the Fuse and Input Switch Access Cover which is located in the upper right
corner o the System Base (Figure 2-4). To access the use, turn IntelliLogger power OFF,
and then use a small Phillips screwdriver to remove the two black screws and the cover. To
replace the use, use your ingers or a pair o small pliers to tug the use straight up and out o
its socket. The use is rated 3A and is a Littel use model 273003, which is commercially
available via electronic distribution or direct rom Logic Beach.
A NALOG I NPUTS
The IntelliLogger System Base provides three over-current protected analog inputs with 10 bit
bipolar resolution. Signal connections or these analog inputs are made on the top terminal strip
at terminal locations 1 through 9 and are labeled on the ront cover as AI_A, B and C.
Two o the channels (AI_A and AI_B) are identical and provide a programmable selection o input
types and ranges. The third channel (AI_C) can be con igured as a ixed current or a ixed voltage
channel. Con iguration o input signal type is done via the HyperWare-II Program Net
programming (Chapter 4 in the HyperWare-II manual) as well as via hardware Con iguration
Switches (described below).
CONFIGURATION SWITCHES
The IntelliLogger System Base analog inputs are individually ield con igured or current or
voltage measurement via a DIP switch setting. This switch is accessed by powering down
and then removing the Fuse and Input Switch Access Cover (Figure 2-4) in the upper right
corner o the IntelliLogger System Base.
To access the switch, turn IntelliLogger power OFF, and then use a small Phillips screwdriver
to remove the two black screws and the cover. A DIP switch is then accessible which
contains three individual switches… one or each o the three analog input channels. Use a
small screwdriver to set the switches to the ON position or current measurements or OFF or
voltage measurements.
The top switch sets Channel AI_A, the middle Channel AI_B and the bottom switch is or
Channel AI_C.

Using the IntelliLogger™ 19
Figure 2-4; Configuration Switches
Caution
Before adjusting switch settings or changing fuses, ensure that
you touch the IntelliLogger enclosure. This will equalize the
instrument and your body’s electrical potential and minimize the
chance of electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage.
Use care in flipping the DIP switches to different positions so
that the screwdriver does not slip and gouge the circuit board
below.
PROGRAMMABLE INPUT TYPES AND RANGES (CHANNELS AI_A AND AI_B)
Channels AI_A and AI_B eature programmable gain ampli iers resulting in up to 8 ranges o
input. Each o these analog inputs can be individually con igured to accept and process
signals rom J, K, E, T, R, S and N type thermocouples (Table 2-2) as well as DC voltage and
DC currents (Table 2-3).
Thermocouple Types and Ranges

Channel AI_C is ield programmable via the bottom switch or DC current and DC voltage
measurement within the ranges o :
Vdc Input: 0.0 to +3.2VDC
Adc Input: 0.0 to +32mAdc
OVER-CURRENT PROTECTION FUSES
Each o the System Base analog inputs is protected rom extreme over-current while in the
current measurement mode by a series 100mA use. Four uses are visible protruding
through the Fuse and Input Switch Access Cover. The bottom three uses are or the analog
input channels (the top use is a main power use… rated 3A). To replace a use, use your
ingers or a small pair o pliers to tug the use straight up and out o its socket. The use is
rated 100mA and is a Littel use model 273.100, which is commercially available via electronic
distributors or direct rom Logic Beach.
Additional surge and transient protection circuitry is built into the IntelliLogger power supplies
and should not normally require service. The use is the only component that is ield/user
replaceable.
COMMON MODE INPUT RANGE
The three analog inputs on the System Base are not isolated and are re erenced to instrument
circuit ground via a 20Kohm resistor. This circuit ground is common to other non-isolated I/O
on the instrument. For this reason, all signals applied to these inputs must be within +/- 4VDC
o instrument circuit ground or normal operation.
