Safety precautions

This product complies with the requirements of the European Community Directive 2014/30/EU (Electromagnetic Compatibility).
The following safety precautions must be observed before operation. Damages resulting from failure to observe these safety precautions are exempt from any legal claims whatever:

• Comply with the warning labels and other info on the equipment.

• Do not subject the equipment to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures, humidity or dampness.

• Do not subject the equipment to shocks or strong vibrations.

• Do not operate the equipment near strong magnetic fields (motors, transformers etc.).

• Keep hot soldering irons or guns away from the equipment.

• Allow the equipment to stabilize at room temperature before taking up measurement (important for exact measurements).

• Replace the battery as soon as the battery indicator “ ” appears. With a low battery, the meter might produce false reading.

• Fetch out the battery when the meter will not be used for long period.

• Periodically wipe the cabinet with a damp cloth and mid detergent. Do not use abrasives or solvents.

• Do not operate the meter before the cabinet has been
  closed and screwed safely as terminal can carry voltage.

• Do not store the meter in a place of explosive, inflammable substances.

• Do not modify the meter in any way.

• Opening the equipment and service- and repair work must only be performed by qualified service personnel.

• Measuring instruments don’t belong to children hands.

Cleaning the cabinet
Clean only with a damp, soft cloth and a commercially available mild householder cleanser. Ensure that no water gets inside the equipment to prevent possible shorts and damage to the equipment.

Introduction

Installation

To use the data logger, the PC software must be installed from the CD first. Start “setup.exe” from the CD and install the program to any folder on the hard disk.
Connect your PeakTech 5180 with the included USB cable to a Windows PC and Windows will automatically install the driver. This will take a few seconds to complete.
Alternatively, you can install the “CP210x” driver from the CD manually.
Note:
The device can only be used in connection with the Software and is not shown as an external disk.

Application

6.1 Settings before use
Start the “MultiDL” Sotware with connected data logger from your desktop. If detected correctly, the data logger with serial number appears under “instrument”:

When several devices are connected, you can identify these by their serial number.
Right-click on the device icon and a window with possible actions:

• “Open”:
  To initiate an USB-connection with the device

• “Data Logger Setting”:
  define the settings and start a recording

• “Read Data Logger”:
  for subsequent analysis of the recorded data

Please make the settings under “Data logger setting” first.

Time Settings:

• “Current Time” synchronized the system time of the PC
• “Date Format” settings can be changed in the time and date format.

The “sampling rate” specifies the repetition rate of the data logger. You can change this setting between “1 Second” (one measurement per second) up to “12 hours” (a measurement every twelve hours) in seconds, minutes and hours. Depending on the “sampling rate” the maximum recording time changes.
Under “Alarm Setting” you can select a “high-alarm” for values higher than a specified limit or “low-alarm” when it falls below a freely set limit. This triggered alarm is indicated by a flickering alarm LED, which is located above the LCD-display. In this menu you can adjust the alarm settings for both Type-K probes independently.
With “LED Flash Cycle Setup” you can set the “REC” LED setting, which is lit during recording.
Under “Start Method” you can select when the data logger starts recording. If you select “Automatic”, the data recording starts immediately when you remove the USB cable, and if “Manual” you can start record by pressing any key on the data logger.

6.2 Evaluating the data logger
Connect the data logger to your PC with the included USB cable and launch the software.
Under “Instruments” you can choose the data logger by rightclicking and start connecting the device with “Open”.
Then select “Read Data Logger Data” for data transfer to the PC:

If the data are transferred, these are displayed in a time curve automatically with colored lines and time information:

Under “Set Scale Format” you can change the appearance of the scales manually or can choose the settings automatically:

With “Graph Format” you can change the color settings, alarm lines and the X / Y-axis representation:

Under “Undo Zoom” and the two buttons, you can specify different settings for magnified representation of the time curve and undo these settings:

Select the tab “Data List” and a tabular presentation of themeasured values will be displayed:

In this list is a column in the table for each measured value at each “sample”, so that a continuous monitoring of the values is possible. By moving the slider at the bottom to the end of the table, you make more values visible. If a probe is not connected, no values are entered for this.
Under “Data Summary” summarizes the entire data record is displayed, which gives information about the start and end of recording, average values, alarms, minimum and maximum values.

Battery Replacement

If the sign “ ” appears on the LCD display, it indicates that the battery should be replaced. Remove screws on the back cover and open the case. Replace the exhausted battery with new battery (3,6V Li-battery).
Batteries, which are used up dispose duly. Used up batteries are hazardous and must be given in the – for this being supposed – collective container.
NOTE:

1. Keep the instrument dry.
2. Keep the probes clean.
3. Keep the instrument and battery out of reach of infant and child.
4. When the symbol ” ” appears, the battery is low and should be replaced immediately. When you install battery, ensure the polarity connections are correct. If you will not use the instrument in a long period of time, remove the battery.
