Read the manual thoroughly before
installing and operating the device.
CAUTION OR DANGER
Risk of electric shock
ATTENTION
Material sensitive to static charge. Be
sure to take precautions before handling.

2. INTR
O
DUCTION
LogBox BLE is a wireless data logger for three analog se
n
sors and one digital sensor, known as analog and digital measurement channels. In
addition, it can opera
t
e on batteries for long periods, with a memory capacity for up to 140,000 logs, having a large display for visuali
z
ation of
m
easured variables and general device information. The dev
i
ce enclosure has a protection cover for the connections, a locking ring and a
m
ounting
bracket that can be mounted on a wall or on a metal surface, by means of the optional holder with magnetic inserts.
The analog inputs accept any type of temperature sensor, s
u
ch as thermocouples, Pt100 or sensors for any other quantities with current or voltage
s
ignals. The digital channel can log the time of events, such as opening a door, or counting pulses from a flow sensor. LogBox BLE
a
lso has
internal sensors: tem
p
erature, battery voltage, and external source voltage, which can also record the values in the memory, taking the pla
c
e of any
of the available measurement channels. Its wide display allows you to view up to 3 variables simultaneously, and displays indications
s
uch as
alarms, communication status, enabled channels, battery v
ol
tage level, and much more. LogBox BLE also has a buzzer for audible aler
t
s and a
digital output that can be used as an alarm output or as an el
e
ctronic key to power sensors.
LogBox BLE, during operation, logs the data in the memory, with the interval between logs being configurable. All device configuration
s
can be
accessed by user via desktop or notebook connected to LogBox BLE USB interface or through an Android or iOS smartphone via Bluet
o
oth. For
u
s
e with computers, NOVUS provides the NXperience software in the website download area. For users with smartphone, NOVUS makes the
NXperience Mobile
a
pplication available on Google Play Store or App Store (iOS). Both software tools allow log configuration, data downl
o
ad, and
analysis.

3. DISPLAY AND NAVIGATION
3.1 DISPLAY INFORMATION
LogBox BLE 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
m
ini
m
u
m
and maximum values thereof. At the same time, it is possible to display the current value of up to 3 analog channels and, in a second s
c
reen, if
enabled, it is possibl
e
to display the digital input current value. In addition to channel information, LogBox BLE has 7 screens with a variety of
information and features, with 24 symbols that allow for easy information visualization and diagnostics.
Below is an illustratio
n
of the display with a descriptive of functionality for each symbol present in it.
Figure 1 – LogBox BLE Display Information
● : Stays on while the Bluetooth interface is available f
o
r connection or any smartphone is connected. If configured to wake up by keyboard, it
only remains on w
h
ile the interface is available.
● : When the d
i
gital channel is disabled, it remains off. When set to Counter, it remains lit. When configured as
"
Event Log
"
or
"
Logs Control"
remains lit, flashing only when an event is detected at the digital input.
● : Lights up when the USB cable is connected, turn
s
off when the USB cable is disconnected.
● : It remains lit from the moment it does the first log until the moment it stops registering. In the cases of
"
Daily
"
registration, w
h
ere the
registering starts and ends every day at a certain time, it will only remain lit within the configured time. Flashes at the time of a log (turns off at
the time of a log a
n
d restarts).
● : Lights up
a
nd stays on when you enter an alarm condition, only going out when a new setting is received, or the alarm status is being
cleared. It indicate
s
to the user that there was an alarm at some point.
● , , , : Light up while the alarm conditions o
f
the corresponding channels are satisfied: 1 (analog channel 1), 2 (analog channel 2),
3 (analog channel 3) e 4 (digital channel). When you exit
t
he alarm condition, the flag is cleared.
● : Indicates the battery voltage level. This symbol is updated along with the logs interval (even if the device is not registering). However, it
is done at a minimum range of 5 minutes. Thus, if the d
e
vice is configured to log every 1 second, the battery indicator will only refresh every 5
minutes. If the reg
i
stering interval is longer than 5 minute
s
, the battery indicator will update with the same log interval.
●
: Battery over 75 %;
●
: Battery over 50 %;
●
: Battery over 25 %;
●
: Battery below 25 % (provide battery replacement).
● : Lights up while the "Maximum" information is bei
n
g displayed.
● : Flashes t
o
inform you that a valid data packet has been received from one of the available communication interfaces.
● , , , : Indicates which channels are enabled.
● : Lights up while the "Minimum" information is bein
g
displayed.
● , : If the ch
a
nnel unit is set to °F or °C, one of the symbols is lit during channel display. Otherwise, no unit symbol is displayed.
● : If the clock is set to display in the 12-hour format, the PM symbol lights up when the clock is displayed, and the time is later than 1 p
m
.

3.2 OPERATION KEYS
To navigate between
t
he screens, LogBox BLE has two keys: . Each key, depending on the current navigation screen, has two or
m
ore
features:
● Short 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 t
h
e screen information is displayed.
● Long touch (longer than 2 seconds or held down):
○
Takes any acti
o
n within the current screen.
● Both keys held down (longer than 2 seconds or held dow
n
):
○
Takes a secon
d
action within the current screen.
If the Bluetooth interface is enabled, any key that is pressed will make the interface visible with a high frequency for an instant of time. For
m
ore
information, refer to chapter CONFIGURATION SOFTWARE.
If
t
he buzzer is active, any key pressed will mute it.
3.3 NAVIGATION KEYS
When navigating between screens, a mnemonic is always displayed to streamline the identification of the information contained in each screen.
This is displayed eac
h
time a key is pressed and is visible for 2 seconds. If no key is pressed for this period, the information on the current
s
creen is
di
s
played. If the key or the key is pressed while a mnemonic is displayed, the device advances to the next or previous screen, displaying
this screen’s mnemonic. When the device is displaying the information on a screen, simply press any key to make the mnemonic appear a
g
ain. To
enter the screen, just wait 2 seconds.
The table below shows all screens, mnemonics and infor
m
ation related thereto, description of information, and key functions on each screen
available in the devic
