Scope:
This manual is valid for the RMS mini wireless data logger from firmware version V1.x. The low-order digit of
the firmware version stands for minor changes, e.g. correction of errors, that do not influence the main
functionality of the device.
1 Overview
1.1 RMS System Overview
The Rotronic Monitoring System (RMS) is a network comprising various devices and the RMS Server software.
The software is the heart of the system. It collects all measured data of the devices and saves it in the database.
The individual devices work as input modules (data loggers) and as output modules (displays, analog outputs,
switched outputs). The user can view the system data at any time on a PC, laptop or smart phone.

1.2 Device Overview
All devices can be configured as wanted as modules of the system. The following table shows all basic types of
the RMS devices. Almost all modules
1
have the following options:
Interface: Ethernet / Wireless
Housing: Wall housing / DIN top hat rail housing / Mini housing
Display Module
The display module can show any values from the
RMS network. Humidity, temperature and switch
states can be configured per software.
Standard Logger
Records the measured data of the digital HygroClip
HCD or other RMS probes. Stored in the ring
memory, the data are then sent to the server
software.
Output Module
Provides two analogue voltage or current outputs or
is also available as variant with two solid-state relays
in order, for example, to switch alarm lamps.
Input Module
Records voltage or current signals from analogue
devices such as particle counters, flow transmitters
or CO2 probes. For example:
HF5 transmitter (humidity & temperature)
AF1 transmitter (air flow)
CO2 transmitter (CO2)
PF4 transmitter (differential pressure)
Temperature Logger
The loggers can be equipped with various
temperature sensors (NTC, Pt100, Pt1000 or K-
element). This offers the highest flexibility in use.
Mini Logger
Various parameters measured. A temperature logger
with integrated or remote NTC sensor. A switch input
in order, for example, to monitor door contacts. Also
LUX measurement or analogue to digital converter.
Gateway
The gateway is the connecting element between
Ethernet and wireless networks and forwards the
data flow from the loggers to the data centre.

1.3 RMS Mini Data Logger
The mini data logger carries out measurements in a fixed interval, saves all measured data and sends it to the
database by radio link. Should the connection be lost, the logger stores the data intermediately to protect data
integrity and fills up the data gaps when the connection has been restored. Depending on the variant, the mini
data logger records various parameters: temperature, current, voltage, humidity, temperature & light or switch
contact. The device uses a battery as the power supply.
The mini data logger provides the following basic functions:
oMeasurement (temperature, temperature & humidity, current, voltage, light or switch contact)
oRecording of up to 10,000 data points
oTransfer of the recorded data to the RMS software
oCalibration and adjustment of the sensors (via the electronics)
oFirmware update
1.4 Power Supply
The mini data logger has one 3.6 V lithium thionyl chloride AA battery. The power supply of this battery
suffices to carry out measurement and data storage and to operate the wireless interface.
Note on the batteries:
The AA batteries are lithium thionyl chloride batteries available in the industrial trade. All RMS input modules
are designed for this type of battery. Only batteries of the same type or with identical characteristic values may
be used as replacement batteries.

1.5 Measured Parameters
Depending on the version, the mini data logger has different inputs. The following table lists the main types:
RMS Mini Data Logger
RMS-MLOG-T-868
Mini data logger, integrated temperature probe, °C, 868 MHz
RMS-MLOG-T10-868
Mini data logger, external NTC probe, °C, 868 MHz, NTC must be ordered
separately

RMS-MADC-868-V
Mini data logger, 1 x analogue input, 0…10 V, 868 MHz
RMS-MLOG-LGT-868
Mini data logger, integrated light sensor, 868 MHz
RMS-MDI-868
Mini data logger, 1 x digital input, 868 MHz
RMS-MLOG-B-868

RMS-MLOG-T-915
Mini data logger, integrated temperature probe, °C, 915 MHz
RMS-MLOG-T10-915
Mini data logger, external NTC probe, °C, 915 MHz, NTC must be ordered
separately

1.6 RTCC (Real Time Clock Calendar)
The device has a real time clock calendar. The time is synchronized continuously when connected to the server.
1.7 Data Logging and Measurement Interval
The values of every measurement are saved in the memory with the time-stamp. At a measurement interval of
one minute, it is possible to save data of one month, which corresponds to 10,000 pairs of measured values.
When the ring memory is full, the oldest values are overwritten.
