LED STATUS GUIDE

LEDS	INDICATION	ACTION
	Both LED lights are off. Logging is not active, or low battery.	Start logging. Replace the battery and download the data.
	One green flash every 10 seconds. *Logging, no alarm condition**Green double flash every 10 sec. *Delayed start	To start, hold the start button until the Green and Yellow LEDs flash
	Red single flash every 10 seconds.* Logging, low alarm for RH*** Red double flash every 10 sec. * -Logging, high alarm for RH*** Red single flash every 60 sec. – Low Battery****	Logging it will stop automatically. No data will be lost. Replace the battery and download data
	Yellow single flash every 10 seconds. * -Logging, low alarm for TEMP*** Yellow Double flash every 10 seconds. * -Logging, high alarm for TEMP*** Yellow single flash every 60 sec. – Logger memory is full	Download data

• To save power, the logger’s LED flashing cycle can be changed to 20s or 30s via the supplied software.
• To save power, alarm LEDs for temperature and humidity can be disabled via the supplied software.
• When both temperature and relative humidity readings exceed the alarm level synchronously, the LED status indication alternates every cycle. For example, If there is only one alarm, the REC LED blinks for one cycle, and the alarm LED will blink for the next cycle. If there are two alarms, the REC LED will not blink. The first alarm will blink for the first cycle, and the next alarm will blink for the next cycle.
• When the battery is low, all operations will be disabled automatically. NOTE: Logging automatically stops when the battery weakens (logged data will be retained). The supplied software is required to restart logging and to download logged data.
• To use the delay function. Run the datalogger Graph software, click on the computer icon on the menu bar (2nd from left,) or select LOGGER SET from the LINK pull-down menu. The Setup window will appear, and you will see there are two options: Manual and Instant. If you select the Manual option, after you click the Setup button, the logger won’t start logging immediately until you press the yellow button in the logger’s housing.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT

Only use 3.6V lithium batteries. Before replacing the battery, remove the model from the PC. Follow the diagram and explanation steps 1 through 4 below:

1. With a pointed object (e.g., a small screwdriver or similar), open the casing.
   Lever the casing off in the direction of the arrow.
2. Pull the data logger from the casing.
3. Replace/Insert the battery into the battery compartment, observing the right polarity. The two displays briefly light up for control purposes (alternating, green, yellow, green).
4. Slide the data logger back into the casing until it snaps into place. Now the data logger is ready for programming.

NOTE: Leaving the model plugged into the USB port for longer than necessary will cause some of the battery capacity to be lost.

WARNING: Handle lithium batteries carefully, and observe warnings on the battery casing. Dispose of in accordance with local regulations.

SENSOR RECONDITIONING

• Over time, the internal sensor may be compromised as a result of pollutants, chemical vapors, and other environmental conditions, which can lead to inaccurate readings. To recondition the internal sensor, please follow the procedure below:
• Bake the Logger at 80°C (176°F) at <5%RH for 36 hours followed by 20-30°C (70- 90°F) at >74%RH for 48 hours (for rehydration)
• If permanent damage to the internal sensor is suspected, replace the Logger immediately to ensure accurate readings.
