EL-USB-1-RCG Rechargeable Temperature Data Logger, Stainless Steel Housing

The EL-USB-1-RCG rechargeable data logger measures and stores up to 16382 temperature readings over a -20 to +60 °C (-4 to +140 °F) measurement range. The glass window and stainless steel 316 assembly provide protection from corrosion, impact and water ingress to IP67 / NEMA 4X. The unit is powered by a lithium-ion rechargeable battery which allows logging for up to 1 month. Setup and downloading is completed by connecting the data logger to a PC's USB port using the supplied cable and running the purpose-designed software under Windows 2000, XP, Vista and Windows 7. Correct functioning of the unit is indicated by flashing red and green LEDs. Downloaded data can then be graphed, printed and exported to other applications.

LED Flashing Modes

LEDs

EL-USB-1-RCG features two LEDs that indicate the logging, battery and alarm status:

The first LED flashes red to indicate that the EL-USB-1-RCG is in an alarm condition. It will flash when the logged temperature has exceeded a Low or High alarm level.
The second LED flashes green to indicate that the EL-USB-1-RCG is not in an alarm condition. Latching is enabled by default, which forces the logger to continue flashing the red LED after an alarm, even when the temperature has returned to normal. This featureensures that the user is notified that an alarm level has been exceeded, without the need to download the data from the logger. Latching can be turned off via the control software. The red LED will then only flash while the logger is in an alarm condition. When the temperature returns to normal, the green LED will flash.

Green LED flashes once every 30 seconds
The data logger is not currently logging, but is primed to start at a later date and time.

Green LED flashes once every 10 seconds
The most recently logged temperature is between the low alarm and high alarm levels.

Red LED flashes once every 10 seconds
The most recently logged temperature is equal to or lower than the low alarm level.
Note: If latching is enabled, then the alarm condition may have been triggered by a previous event.

Red LED flashes twice every 10 seconds
The most recently logged temperature is equal to or higher than the high alarm level.
Note: If latching is enabled, then the alarm condition may have been triggered by a previous event.

Green LED flashes once every 20 seconds
The battery is low and the most recently logged temperature is between the Low alarm and high alarm levels.

Red LED flashes once every 20 seconds
The battery is low and the most recently logged temperature is equal to or lower than the low alarm level.
Note: If latching is enabled, then the alarm condition may have been triggered by a previous event.

Red LED flashes twice every 20 seconds
The battery is low and the most recently logged temperature is equal to or higher than the high alarm level.
Note: If latching is enabled, then the alarm condition may have been triggered by a previous event

Green LED flashes twice every 20 seconds
The logger is full and the most recently logged temperature is between the Low alarm and high alarm levels.

Red and Green LEDs flash alternately every 20 seconds
The logger is full and a stored value is equal to or exceeds the low or high alarm level.
Note: This state is only possible if latching is enabled.

No LEDs Flash
The data logger is stopped, the battery is dead, or there is no battery.

Battery Charging

The logger is fitted with a 280mAh capacity (nominal) rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery. The logger must be connected to an active USB port to recharge the battery; this may take up to 5 hours, depending on the level of discharge. The battery charge status is indicated by the status LED’s. The red LED indicates that charging is ongoing; the green LED indicates that the battery has a full charge.

Like all rechargeable batteries, the fully charged capacity reduces over time. The battery operates best at temperatures of 10°C to 30°C (50°F to 86°F). Recharging should only be performed within this temperature range.
