4.6 Intended use
The portable measurement instrument is used to collect analogue and digital signals. The device can operate
without mains power. The measured and recorded data is stored on a non-volatile memory medium. This
stored data is sent via the mobile network to a central server for further processing. The device is equipped
with an integrated SIM chip for this purpose. The maximum permissible limit values specified in chapter
"Technical data" on page 11 must be observed. The manufacturer shall not be liable for any operational cases
that deviate from these limit values and have not been approved by the manufacturer in writing.
Note: This device is exclusively intended to be used for the purposes as described before. Any other
use or use beyond what is specified or a modification of the device shall be deemed to be not for the
intended purpose and is not permitted without the express written consent of the manufacturer. The
manufacturer shall not be held liable for any damages that may result from such unauthorised use or
modification. The operator alone bears the associated risk.
Note: The manufacturer is not liable for data loss of any kind.
Note: The integrated SIM chip provides a mobile communications connection to a variety of
international service providers. In order to be able to utilise all functions of the device, you must
ensure that the device is located in the service area of one of these service providers. You can find a
list of all supported countries and associated service providers under
www.microtronics.com/footprint. A Managed Service contract with Microtronics Engineering GmbH
is required for use of the mobile data transmission (see www.microtronics.com/managedservice).
This includes the provisioning of the mobile communications connection via the network of the service
provider included in the above-mentioned list.
4.7 General product information
The device is a compact, portable instrument for recording and transferring analogue and digital signals. The
energy is supplied by an integrated, replaceable battery pack. There are 5 universal inputs available, which
can be operated in various analogue and digital modes. A 1 voltage output is also available that can be
configured in such a way that it is connected by the device itself before a measurement (to supply a sensor).
All of the input measurement data is temporarily saved to an internal data memory along with the state of the
output and the internal "Battery" and "GSM level" measurement values and are then wirelessly transferred to
a central location at afreely selected interval. The device is also configured via this connection. The device is
equipped with an integrated SIM chip.

Note: This symbol indicates the country list profile (see www.microtronics.com/footprint) of the SIM chip
installed in the device.
Note: These operating instructions are part of the device and must be available to the user at all
times. The safety instructions contained therein must be observed.
DANGER:
It is strictly prohibited to disable the safety equipment or modify its mode of operation.
4.9 Installation of spare and wear parts
Be advised that spare and accessory parts that have not been supplied by the manufacturer have also not
been inspected or approved by the manufacturer. The installation and/or use of such products can possibly
have a negative impact on the specified constructional properties of the device. The manufacturer shall not be
liable for any damages that arise from the use of non-original parts and non-original accessory parts.
Rev. 02 19

4.10 Storage of the product
To store the myDatalogNANO , activate the transport lock, by setting the "Operation mode" in the input
screen of the myDatanet server for configuring the device (see "Device-specific settings" on page 91) to
"OFF". Then activate ALOHA transmission mode (see "ALOHA transmission mode" on page 32) via the
solenoid switch so that the amended configuration is transferred to the myDatalogNANO . During this
process, all of the data that has not yet been transferred to the myDatanet server is transferred. The cables
can be removed as soon as the GPRS connection has been deactivated - indicated by the status LED going
out (see "Status LED" on page 64). Store the myDatalogNANO in its original packaging. The battery pack
remains in the device.
The myDatalogNANO is placed in energy-saving mode by activating the transport lock. However, it may still
occur that the battery pack is fully discharged if the device is stored for very long periods. Although the
configuration and the most recently determined data are always retained. The transport lock is deactivated
again by re-initiating ALOHA transmission mode (see "ALOHA transmission mode" on page 32) and the
myDatalogNANO resumes operation according to the configuration.
4.11 Obligation of the operator
WARNING:
In the EEA (European Economic Area), the national implementation of the framework
directive (89/391/EEC) as well as the associated specific directives and from these in
particular, the directive (2009/104/EC) about the minimum safety and health requirements
for use of work equipment by workers at work, each in their respective version are to be
complied with.
The operator must obtain the local operating licence and the associated documents.
In addition, the operator must comply with the local legal requirements for
lthe safety of the personnel (accident prevention measures)
lthe safety of the equipment (protective equipment and maintenance)
lthe product disposal (waste disposal law)
lthe material disposal (waste disposal law)
lthe cleaning (cleaning agents and disposal)
land the environmental protection amendments.
Before commissioning, the operator must ensure that the installation and commissioning – provided these
were performed by the operator himself – are in compliance with the local regulations.
4.12 Personnel requirements
Installation, commissioning and maintenance may only be completed by personnel who meet the following
conditions:
lQualified specialist personnel with the relevant training
lAuthorised by the facility operator
