Data Transfer Cable
To ensure full functionality of the system, please use only the supplied cables and accessories for connection
to a personal computer.
Environment & disposal
The EnDaL curve/vi contains no corrosive or environmentally damaging substances. This
does not apply to batteries.
Used batteries must be removed immediately from the device. Please dispose of used batteries in an
ecologically sound manner and according to the local regulations. Lithium batteries are hazardous waste.
Battery operation
The EnDaL curve is typically supplied with two exchangeable alkaline or lithium batteries
(type C|R14). They can be bought in specialized stores according to the specification stated in the
instruction manual. The usage of secondary battery cells (NiMH) is also possible. Furthermore there is a
special device configuration for external power supply.
Please label the EnDaL curve as hazardous material of class 9, according to the Worldwide
UN classification, when using it with lithium batteries.
ATTENTION!
Use only intrinsically safe batteries.
In case of non-compliance with the national regulations/laws applicable in the handling of lithium
batteries, any liability and warranty claim becomes void!
Decommissioning
In case of decommissioning,the devices must be properly switched off. All batteries must be
removed from the device and be disposed of in an ecologically sound manner.

INTRODUCTION EnDaL curve/vi
- 4 -
2. I N T R OD U C T I O N
The EnDaL curve/vi is a universal data logger. It is designed for long-term measurements,so
it is suitable to monitor transport cargo in critical environments.
The EnDaL curve/vi is available in many different configurations. Therefore,it can be
modified to meet a lot of special requirements. With internal or external acceleration sensors as well as the
sensor input for temperature, relative humidity and air pressure, the EnDaL curve/vi is
suitable for many applications. The configuration with external sensors makes it possible to measure with
optimal coupling on positions which are difficult to access. The configurable analogue input allows you to
use analogue sensors from other manufacturers. A device version suitable for use in a clean room is also
available.
Additionally you can connect the EnDaL curve/vi with an external tracking system like the
data link TM. Thereby, it is possible to track the GPS positions and send the device status as
well as measurement data via email.
Because of its versatility of power supply and its degree of protection IP65,the
EnDaL curve/vi is suitable as an independent long-term transport data logging system. By the use of an
external power supply,it is also suitable for stationary applications.
The license-free software ENCUR for configuration and evaluation enables graphical und tabular analyses
of the measured data. The measuring data can be archived on the computer or exported for use with other
software programs.

Depending on the model,EnDaL curve/vi can be equipped with internal acceleration
sensors as well as with inputs for external acceleration sensors. Piezoelectric acceleration sensors with
integrated electronics (EnDaL vi) or without (EnDaL curve) can be connected to the 3 inputs designated
with X, Y, Z. However, internal and external acceleration sensors cannot be used simultaneously.
The measuring ranges of the internal charge amplifiers are 100, 200, 500, 1000 or 2000 pC for each
channel (EnDaL curve). Measuring ranges of 50, 100, 250, 500 or 1000 mV can be set for ICP sensors
(EnDaL vi). The transmission factors of each sensor connected to a channel can also be entered in the
measuring program so that the stored measured values correspond to the accelerations in g transmitted by
the sensors.
In order to obtain correct spatial shock values (R) derived from the 3 channels x, y and z (see evaluation
software) make sure to place these sensor channels orthogonal to one another.
Always ensure to switch off the EnDaL curve/vi before connecting external acceleration sensors.
Otherwise the device may record acceleration events during the connector insertion.
To prevent effects of cable movement on the measurement, it is recommended to fasten the sensor cables
with a cable holder. An adhesive tape may also be used for fastening (see also DIN ISO 5348).

The “In D/A”socket provides the configurable analogue input and up to 4 digital inputs. The switching
state of switches can be evaluated without additional circuits. The analogue sensor is temporarily supplied
by 5 V at the time of measurement.
