Wiring the Data Logger
Volt101A, 2.5V, 15V and 30V models
Single Ended Wiring
Warning: Note the polarity instructions. Do not attach wires to the wrong terminals.
Product Notes
LEDs
Green LED blinks: 10 seconds to indicate logging and 15 seconds to indicate delay start mode
Red LED blinks: 10 seconds to indicate low battery and/or memory and 1 second to indicate
an alarm condition
Engineering Units
Native measurement units can be scaled to display measurement units of another type.
This is useful when monitoring voltage outputs from different types of sensors such as
temperature, CO2, flow rate and more. Please refer to the application note “Engineering
Units”, found on the MadgeTech website, for information on how to manage Engineering
Units. Also view the Engineering Units Video for step-by-step setup instructions.
Password Protection
An optional password may be programmed into the device to restrict access to
configuration options. Data may be read out without the password.
Multiple Start/Stop Mode Activation
To start device: Press and hold the pushbutton and the green LED will flash twice a second.
After three seconds, the green will flash rapidly for two seconds. The device has started logging.
To stop the device: Press and hold the pushbutton and the red LED will flash twice a second.
After three seconds, red will flash rapidly for two seconds. The device has stopped logging.
Alarm
User selectable high and low voltage limits.
Installation Guide
Installing the Interface cable
- IFC200
Insert the Software CD in the CD-ROM Drive. If the autorun does not appear, locate the
drive on the computer and double click on Autorun.exe. Click on Drivers and Third Party
Tools, then Install USB Interface Drivers. Click Install to install the USB drivers. Plug the
IFC200 cable into an available USB port on the computer.
Installing the software
Insert the Software CD in the CD Drive. If the autorun does not appear, locate the drive on
the computer and double click Autorun.exe. Follow the instructions in the Wizard.
Product Quick Reference Card
Volt101A and Volt101A-160mVDC
Connecting the data logger
- Once the software is installed and running, plug the interface cable into the data logger.
- Click the Communication Menu, then Auto Configure Port.
- After a moment, a box will appear stating a device has been found.
- Click OK. The Device Status box will appear. Click OK.
- At this point, communications have been configured for your logger. These settings can
be found under the Communication Menu.
Note: For additional installation instructions refer to your “Data Logger & Software Operating Manual”.
Device Operation
Starting the data logger
- Click Device Menu then Start Device.
- Choose the desired start method.
- Choose the start parameters by selecting a Reading Rate suitable for your application.
- Enter in any other desired parameters and click Start.
- A box will appear stating the data logger has been started. Click OK.
- Disconnect the data logger from the interface cable and place in the measurement environment
Note: The device will stop recording data when the end of memory is reached or the device is stopped. At this
point the device cannot be restarted until it has been re-armed by the computer.
Downloading data from a data logger
- Connect the data logger to the interface cable.
- Click the Device Menu then Read Device Data. Data will download onto the PC.
Device Maintenance
Battery Replacement
Materials: Small Phillips Head Screwdriver & Replacement Battery (LTC-7PN)
- Puncture the center of the back label with the screw driver and unscrew the enclosure.
- Remove the battery by pulling it perpendicular to the circuit board.
- Insert the new battery into the terminals and verify it is secure.
- Screw the enclosure back together securely.
Note: Be sure not to over tighten the screws or strip the threads.
