RMS-LOG Wireless / LAN Data Loggers
E-M-RMS-MLOG-868-V1_0.docx Instruction Manual
Scope:
This manual is valid for the RMS 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 theheart of the system. Itcollectsall measured dataof 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 modules1have the following options:
•Interface: Ethernet / Wireless
•Housing: Wall housing / DIN top hat rail 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 analog 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 analog
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
A temperature logger with integrated or remote NTC
sensor. Instead of a temperature sensor, it is also
available with a switch input in order, for example, to
monitor door contacts.
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, 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, current, voltage, temperature & 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
oFirmware update
1.4 Power Supply
The mini data logger has two 3.6 V lithium thionyl chloride AA batteries. The power supply of the batteries
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.

1.6 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.
1.8 Indicator and Button
The device has a button and multicolour LED for use and indication of the operating state. The button is used
to start the device or switch it off in battery mode. The LED indicates the device status and whether it was
possible in the current measurement interval to carry out a valid measurement and send the data to the
monitoring system.

5.3 Function Overview
Overview of the main software functions of the device
► Measurement
The measured data are sent to the RMS server software at the
set interval directly after the measurement.
► Save measured data
The measured values of every measurement are saved in the
internal ring memory (10,000 pairs of measured values). If the
data cannot be sent to the server software directly, they are kept
in the device and then sent later as soon as the connection to
the server software has been restored.
►Firmware update
The firmware of the device can be updated directly via the RMS
server software.

6 Maintenance
Even the best technology needs regular maintenance. This chapter describes the most important points.
6.1 Battery Replacement
The batteries (see chapter 1.4.1 for the type of battery) of RMS devices typically last 3 years. The device shows
automatically when the battery needs to be replaced.
•LED flashes red
•System message in the RMS server software
The following steps are necessary to replace the battery:
•Take the device out of the wall bracket.
•Remove the old battery and insert a new one.
The time setting of the data logger is synchronized automatically after the battery replacement.
Important:
•The battery life depends on the ambient temperature. Low or high temperatures can lead to a shorter
battery life.
