Presentation of the device

Use
The KT 120 and KH 120 dataloggers of the HVAC range allow the internal measurement of temperature only (KT 120) or of temperature and humidity (KH 120). This class of devices is dedicated to the food transport.
The devices have a male USB plug and an integrated software in PDF format which enables to download and configure the datalogger without specific software.

Applications
The KISTOCK datalogger is ideal for a temperature and humidity control for the sensitive foodstuff storage, for example in the food industry or pharmaceutical domain. It allows to control the temperature and humidity in refrigerators, cold rooms, food trucks etc.
Therefore, the device guarantees a traceability all along the cold chain. And at any moment the KISTOCK datalogger allows to edit easily and quickly a data report in PDF format.

Guarantee period

KISTOCK dataloggers have 1-year guarantee for any manufacturing defect (return to our After-sales service required).

Display

DATASET is finishedIndicates that one value is being recorded. It flashes: the DATASET did not start already.
Flashing slowly: DATASET is between 80 and 90 % of the storage capacity.
Flashing quickly: DATASET is between 90 and 100 % of the storage capacity. Constant: storage capacity full.
Constant: indicates that the batteries have to be replaced.
Indicates the channel number which is measuring.
The displayed values are the recorded
maximum/minimum values for the displayed channels.
Indicates the alarm action type: rising or falling action.
The temperature in °C.
Temperature in °F.
Relative humidity (KH 120).

The values to display selected during configuration via the software will scroll on the screen every 3 seconds (only with the KH 120).
The display can be activated or deactivated via the KILOG software.
At extreme temperatures, the display can become hardly readable and its display speed can slow down at temperatures below 0 °C. This has no incidence on the measurement accuracy.

Functions of keys
OK key: enables to start, stop the dataset (press during >3 seconds) or to change of scrolling group as described in the tables below.
Selection key: enables the scroll values in the scrolling group as described in the tables below. * Please see the summary table of the groups organization on page 10. Only with the KH 120. Groups organisation*
The table below summarises the groups organisation and measured values available during a measurement dataset. Please see the summary table of the groups organization on the following page. ** Only with the KH 120. Press key to change of group.
Press key to scroll the values in the group.

Datalogger configuration with the integrated PDF file
The class 120 KISTOCK dataloggers have an integrated PDF file which allows to configure quickly and easily the datalogger. Therefore, you can directly configure your datalogger without opening the KILOG software.

Required configuration : to open this document, you need to use ONLY the “Adobe Acrobat Reader 9 ®” program (or higher), freely downloadable, which allows to read PDF format documents. Ensure you have installed it before starting.

Plug the class 120 KISTOCK datalogger on an USB port of your computer**. The following window opens:
Click on “Open folder to view files”.
Wait a few seconds (according to the dataset number of points), and a volume appears.
Double-click on the “Configuration…” PDF file

The integrated configuration file opens: Choose the language: Select the required language:

Choose the date format: Select the required date format:

General information

Dataset name : this field allows to name the dataset.
Comments : this field allows to write comments on dataset.

Configuration

Recorder

Active screen : tick “ Yes ” to activate the screen display or “ No ” to deactivate it.
Management DST : for an automatic management of DST, tick “ Yes ” or tick “ No ” to deactivate it. If you choose “ Yes ”, the “ Next time change ” fields become accessible. Dates and times of the next time change are proposed by default. You can modify them: click on the “ Date ” field then on to display the calendar. Click on the required date. Click on the
“Hour” field to modify the time on which the next time change will be applied: the time format is 00:00. On the last field, click on and choose “ +1h ” to
add an hour or “ -1h ” to subtract an hour. The date and time change will be
applied on the required date and time and will add or subtract an hour.

Recording

Interval : in the “Interval” field, inform the required interval duration between two measurements, then select the unit (minutes or hours).
Start type

Tick “Button” for a start type by button.
Tick “Date” for a start type by date: inform the required date and time of the start. Click on the “Start date” field then click on to display the calendar and select the required date, or write it manually, with respect to the date format selected previously.

Stop type
Select the required stop type:

The stop by date is available only if the start type by date has been chosen previously. If you choose “Date”, inform the required stop date and time in the “Stop date” field: click on to display the calendar then select the required date, or write it manually with respect to the date format selected previously.
The stop by duration allows to determine a recording duration: inform the “Days” and “Hours” fields.
The stop by number of items allows to determine a required number of measurement before the dataset stops. Inform the “Number of items” field (between 1 and 50 000 points).
“Total memory” allows to record continuously up to 50 000 points before the dataset stops.
“Loop” allows to record the values continuously and once the memory capacity reached, the last recorded values overwrite the first.
“Stop by button”: tick “Yes” to allow a stop by button. Therefore, push the datalogger OK key during 3 seconds to stop the measurement dataset. To not allow it, tick “No”. The stop by button can not be deactivated if the chosen stop condition is “Loop”, “Total memory” or “Number of points”.

Channel parameters
Temperature (KT 120 and KH 120) and humidity (only the KH 120)

Choose the temperature measurement unit: tick the “°C” or “°F” box.
Active channel: tick “Yes” to activate the channel or “No” to deactivate it.
Active alarm: tick “Yes” to activate the alarm or “No” to deactivate it.

If the alarm is activated, inform the “High” and “Low” fields to configure the alarm threshold. Inform the “Delay” field in number of points. According to the measurement interval previously configured, the duration is automatically actualised. For example: if an interval of 1 minute has been configured and that the delay in number of points for the high threshold is 5, the delay duration will be 5 minutes.

When the configuration is finished, click on the button to validate.
Chose the place to save the configuration: to use this configuration for the next dataset, save the configuration directly on the datalogger on “ Removable disk ”.
Check that the dataset is finished to ensure the new configuration is taken into account.
A message asks you to overwrite the existing file.
Click on “Yes”.
To use this configuration later for another dataset, or to configure another device, you can save it on the required location. To recover it later, click on the button on top of the page, then select the required file on “.xdp” format, click on the button to use it for the next dataset
