Note: The [ON / Trigger] button has set a debouncing time of 335 ms.
7.1.1 Resetting the logger to factory settings
Beside the possibility to reset the network settings, the blue PiraT Mini offers the possibility to
reset the device to factory respectively delivery status, if the logger is in error state and there’s
no chance to connect to the logger any more (even after a network reset).
Warning:
Due to the reset to factory settings all data and licenses on the logger will be deleted.
Needed licenses have to be installed on the logger again after this operation.
An actual firmware version has to be flashed after this procedure. This is signaled by the
STATE-LED and a failure message “FC_FW_UPDATE” at the client.
To reset the logger to factory settings the logger has to be unplugged from power supply.
While you connect the logger with the power supply, press the [ON / Trigger] button, until both
LEDs are pulsing.
Note:
If you do nothing, the logger tries to startup normally, in case of the button was pressed
by mistake during plug in.
During the short phase, in which the LEDs are pulsing (for about 10 seconds), quickly press
many times the [ON / Trigger] button, until both LEDs are blinking alternately.
The device starts to reset itself to factory settings. This operation will take some minutes. The
blue PiraT Mini will switch off after that automatically.

On
Device has started up and can be reached by the client.
Blinking
Device is starting up.
Pulsing
Device goes to standby mode.
Table 7.2: ACTIVE-LED
Maybe these states are overlain by a fast blinking when there is traffic on one of the active inter-
faces (accept protocol based Ethernet logging).
If an internal or external marker is set, the ACTIVE-LED flashes with full energy for a short time.
7.2.2 STATE-LED (red)
State
Meaning
Off
No bug, normal operational status
On
Device is in error state.
If the device is still reachable by the client, the error and some hints to solve this
issue can be found in the bug reporter.
blinking
Overload of the data logger; maybe loss of data
Information about lost data can be found in the bug reporter.
blinking
When using external media:
The external media is identified.
pulsing

Table 7.3: STATE-LED
7.3 ETH #1 / TSL and ETH #2 / TSL
The network ports at the front side, ETH #1 / TSL and ETH #2 / TSL, are for the communication
between logger and client as well as for logging data.
Further they can be used to combine blue PiraT Mini and blue PiraT2 data logger to a combined
TSL (Telemotive System Link) and synchronize these loggers.
Warning: Don’t connect ETH #1 and ETH #2 directly to each other.

7.4 Micro-USB port
The front Micro-USB port can be used in the host-mode.
It can be used for logging data to an external media or for connecting a Wi-Fi module to the log-
ger. Wi-Fi can be used to get access to the logger over the client or to use the feature Telemo-
tive Live View.
USB storage:
The USB storage has to be formatted in the FAT32 file format. You could connect USB flash
drives and external hard drive up to a maximal supply current of 500 mA. External power sup-
plies must not be connected to the hard disk.
If the USB memory is pulled in the operational state, the following problems exists:
The logger is in an undefined state and will not record any data.
Only after rebooting the device behaves as expected.
The data on the USB memory can then be unreadable when it is removed during a write
operation.
If you turn off the blue PiraT Mini with the [ON / Trigger] button, you have 5 seconds to remove
the medium before the logger can be reawakened.
Note:
Telemotive AG recommends the testing of every external storage before using it in a
measurement. We suggest that especially USB devices with USB 3.0 are sometimes not
recognized by the system.

Table 7.4: Compatible SD cards
If the removable media is detected by the logger, the red State LED starts flashing.
A write-protected SD memory card will be indicated by the permanent illumination of the red
STATE LED.
In addition, the write protection will be highlighted in the network logger window of the Telemo-
tive System Client with a red labelled exclamation mark and an entry in the bug report
FC_MS_READ_ONLY” with a corresponding note.
Then shut down the bP Mini, unlock the SD card, reinsert it and reboot the device.
Attention:
Removing the SD card without prior shutdown may result in the loss of all recorded data.
If the SD card is pulled in the operational state, the following problems exists:
The logger is in an undefined state and will not record any data.
Only after rebooting the device behaves as expected.
The data on the SD card can then be unreadable when the SD card is removed during a
write operation.
If you turn off the blue PiraT Mini with the [ON / Trigger] button, you have 5 seconds to remove
the disk before the logger can be reawakened.

7.9 MOST150 interface
The MOST150 interface is a standard 2 + 0 connector for MOST fiber optic.
Important:
Maybe the MOST150 connector can’t be plugged when the 15-pol SUB-D connector is not
locked.
If the MOST connector is not used, the jack must be covered with a terminating plug.
This prevents the sensitive fiber optic contacts from getting dirty. It also makes sure that
the data logger does not start up unintentionally when, e.g., strong sunlight falls onto the
optical contacts.
