Safety instructions and warnings
WARNING
• Read the operating instructions carefully before using the logger or the logger
software. This will protect you personally and avoid damage to the unit.
• The logger is a unit for recording and displaying measurement parameters
and may not be used for safety-related applications.
• Before using the logger check the unit itself and all cables for visible signs of
damage and never operate a damaged logger. A damaged logger can endan-
ger operator safety! Should the logger not function perfectly or appear to be
damaged, send it to MSR Electronics GmbH for repair.
• Ensure that no fluids enter the logger's casing. Fluids cause corrosion
damage and short-circuits inside the logger.
• The logger must never be opened or modified. The manufacturer cannot be
held liable for damage resulting from use other than that for which the unit is
intended, or from improper operation of the unit.
• Never use a logger with a leaking battery. Should a battery leak be detect-
ed ensure that the electrolyte does not come into contact with the skin, the
eyes or the mouth. Should this occur, thoroughly rinse the affected area
with water for at least 15 minutes. Consult a doctor. Do not breathe in any
vapours emitted. Immediately clean the electrolyte from the logger using a
soft cloth and dispose of the cloth subsequently.
CAUTION
• Ensure the proper disposal of an obsolete logger, the USB connection cable
and the mains adapter ->17.

Overview
The logger is a miniaturised universal datalogger for measuring and recording dif-
ferent physical measurement parameters.
For further information, see data sheets.
The Logger PC program enables users to customise the way in which the log-
ger measures and records data according to their requirements. The integrated
clock (RTC) allows data from as many loggers as required to be synchronised and
merged into a single data record.
