The symbols below are used throughout this manual to draw
t
he user’s attention to important information regarding safety and use of the device.
CAUTION
Read the manual fully before installing
and operating the device.
CAUTION OR HAZARD
Risk of electric shock.
ATTENTION
Material sensitive to static charge. Check
precautions before handling.
Safety recommendati
o
ns must be followed to ensure user s
a
fety and to prevent damage to the device or system. If the device is used in a
m
anner
other than that specified in this manual, the safety protection
s
may not be effective.

2. INTR
O
DUCTION
LogBox 3
G
is a wireless electronic data logger comprising two analog sensors and one digital sensor, respectively called the "analog
m
easurement chann
e
l" and the "digital measurement channel
"
. The device has a USB interface for local configuration and a cellular interface for
direct communication with NOVUS Cloud (https://iot2.novusautomation.com/) and for sending events via SMS. NOVUS Cloud is a cloud portal that
allows for managing l
o
gged data and setting remote configurations in the device. Its memory capacity is up to 140,000 logs, ensuring infor
m
ation
backup even at times when the communication link may have been lost or during a total power outage. Additionally, it operates with an external
power supply, also us
i
ng internal backup batteries that ensure full operation in eventual power outages.
It features a large display that offers comfortable viewing
o
f measured variables and general device information. The device enclosure has a
protective cover for t
h
e connections, a sealing ring and base that allows for securing it to a wall or metal surface by means of a bracket with
m
agnetic inserts.
For applications that r
e
quire geographic positioning, there is a model with GPS interface.
The analog inputs a
c
cept any type of temperature sensor, such as thermocouples, Pt100 or sensors for any other magnitudes with c
u
rrent or
v
oltage signals. The
d
igital channel can record the time of events, such as opening a port or counting pulses from a flow sensor. LogBox 3G also
has the following internal sensors: temperature, battery v
o
ltage and external power supply voltage, which can have their values rec
o
rded in
m
emory and published on NOVUS Cloud, as well as be
i
ng monitored by USB interface, by SMS or by the display. Its display al
l
ows for
s
imultaneously viewi
n
g up to three variables, displaying indications about alarms, communication status, enabled channels, backup battery voltage
le
v
el, among other inf
o
rmation.
LogBox 3
G
also has
a
buzzer for audible alerts and a digital output that can be used as output for the alarm indication.
When operating, LogBox 3G logs data to the memory and publishes directly to NOVUS Cloud, with a configurable interval between logs. The
logged data and the device configurations can be accessed
v
ia desktop or notebook computer connected locally to a USB interface or remotely via
N
O
VUS Cloud. For use with computers, NOVUS provides th
e
NXperience software in the Downloads Area on its website.

3. DISPLAY AND NAVIGATION - H
M
I
3.1 DISPLAY INFORMATION
LogBox 3
G
has an LCD display with 3 numerical lines of 4 ½ digits, to display the current value of all enabled channels, as well as the mini
m
u
m
and maximum values thereof. The current value of up to two analog channels or the current value of the digital input can be viewed simulta
n
eously.
In addition to channel information, LogBox 3G has 14 scree
n
s with a variety of information and features and 24 symbols that allow for easy viewing
of information and dia
g
nostics.
Following is an illustr
a
tion of the display with a description of
e
ach symbol’s function:
Fig. 01 – Display Information
● : Informs the status of the cellular connection. Whe
n
off, it indicates that the cellular interface is not running. When flashing, it infor
m
s that
only SMS services are running. When lit, it informs all
c
ellular connection services that are operating and that the device has esta
b
lished a
connection with NOVUS Cloud. If the symbol is flashing, check the information on the
"
Info Conn
"
screen (see the Navigation Screens section)
for more informati
o
n about connection diagnostics.
● : When the digital channel is disabled, it remains off. When set to
"
Pulse Count
"
mode, it will remain on. When set in the
"
Event Logging" or
"Log Control" modes, it will remain lit, flashing when an e
v
ent is detected at the digital input.
● : Lights up when the USB cable is connected. Tur
n
s off when the USB cable is disconnected.
● : It remains lit from the moment the device records the first log until the moment it stops logging. When set to
"
Daily
"
logging mod
e
, which
should start and
e
nd daily at a predetermined time, it wil
l
remain lit during the configured time period. It will flash while logging, turn
o
ff at the
time of a log and r
e
start.
● : Lights up and stays on when entering an alarm condition. Turns off when a new configuration is received or the alarm status is cleared.
Indicates to the user that, at some point, an alarm was tri
g
gered.
● , , , : Light up while the alarm conditions o
f
the corresponding channels are met: 1 (any alarm configured for analog chan
n
el 1), 2
(any alarm configured for analog channel 2), 3 (any alarm configured for internal sensors) and 4 (any alarm configured for the digital c
h
annel).
When exiting the alarm condition, the flag will be cleared.
● : Indicates
t
he battery voltage level. The symbol will be refreshed in the HMI refresh interval.
●
: Battery charge over 75 %;
●
: Battery charge over 50 %;
●
: Battery charge over 25 %;
●
: Battery below 25 %.
● : Lights up while information on the "Maximum" values reached in each channel is being viewed on the display.
● : It flashes
t
o inform the receipt of a valid data packet from one of the available communication interfaces.
● , , : Indicates which channels are enabled.
● : Lights up while information on the "Minimum" values reached in each channel is being viewed on the display.
● , : If the channel unit is set to °F or °C, one of the symbols will light up when the channel is displayed. Otherwise, no unit symb
o
l will be
displayed.
● : If the clock is configured for the 12-hour format, the PM symbol will light up when the clock is displayed and the time is later than 12 p
m
.

3.2 OPERATION KEYS
For navigation betwe
e
n screens, LogBox 3G features two keys: . Each key, depending on the current navigation screen, has two or
m
ore functions:
●
Q
uick touch (less than 2 seconds):
○
Proceeds to th
e
next screen if the current screen mne
m
onic is being displayed.
○
Displays the m
n
emonic of the current screen again, if the screen information is being displayed.
● Long Touch (long
e
r than 2 seconds or held down):
○
Takes an actio
n
within the current screen.
● Both keys pressed (longer than 2 seconds or held down):
○
Takes a second action within the current screen.
If the buzzer is active and the configuration allows it to be mu
t
ed by the keyboard, pressing any key will mute it.
3.3 NAVIGATION SCREENS
To facilitate identification of information on each screen, a
m
nemonic, which will remain visible for two seconds, will be displayed when
a
key is
pressed. If no key is pressed during this period, the informati
o
n on the current screen will be displayed. If the or keys are presse
d
while a
m
nemonic is being
d
isplayed, the device will advance to t
h
e next screen or return to the previous one, which will be duly specified by their
re
s
pective mnemonics.
When the device is d
i
splaying information on a screen, just tap either of the two keys to make the mnemonic appear again. To access the desired
sc
reen, just wait two seconds. The navigation screens will be refreshed during navigation.
LogBox 3
G
has two home screen options that can be define
d
as home screen, as shown below. The home screen will remain on the displ
a
y when
the user is not navigating between screens. After 30 secon
d
s without action, the device will return to the home screen. The home scree
n
will be
re
f
reshed at the refresh interval configured for the display.
