4.2 Electrical connection
Note
Connecting the device to the power supply
must always be the last step of the instal-
lation!
Carry out the connection of the Datalogger
(pos. 1) to other modules in the order de-
scribed below:
ÎConnect the data cable (RESOL VBus®, pos. 3)
to the controller (pos. 4) and the DL3 (pos. 1).
If necessary, extend the cable using the terminal
block included and a common two-wire cable.
ÎConnect the mains adapter (pos. 2) to the DL3
and to a mains socket.
ÎFor a direct connection to a router or a PC, con-
nect the datalogger to a router (pos. 6) or a PC
(pos. 7) using the network cable (included with
the DL3, pos. 5).
Power supply is carried out via an external mains
adapter.The supply voltage of the mains adapter must
be 100 ... 240V~ (50 ... 60 Hz).

trollers) can be connected.
4.4 Connecting the sensors
Connect the Pt1000 temperature sensors to the fol-
lowing terminals with either polarity:
•
⊥
/ S1 ... S3 = Temperature sensors S1 to S3
Connect the sensor using a 0(4)-20 mA signal as
specified by the manufacturer to the following ter-
minals:
•
⊥
/ CL = Current loop interface 0(4)-20 mA
4.5 Connecting the network cable

tomatically reboots.
7 Data export
There are 2 different ways to export logged data from
the DL3 datalogger:
1. Export logged data onto an SD memory card.The
data are stored as a VBus format file and can be
read out on a computer using the RESOL Serv-
iceCenter software.
2. Export logged data onto a computer over the
web interface. Different file formats can be se-
lected.
Information about exporting data over the
web interface can be found in the detailed
manual on the included CD.
7.1 Data export over SD card
In order to copy data onto an SD card, proceed as
follows:
