MADGETECH Pulse101A Pulse Data Logger
Product Information
Pulse101A Pulse Data Logger
The Pulse101A is a data logger designed to measure and record pulse rates. It features removable screw terminals for easy input connection and has a maximum pulse rate of 10 KHz. The input range is from 0 to 30 VDC, with an input low of < 0.4 V and an input high of > 2.8 V. The device has an internal weak pull- up and an input impedance of > 60 k. It can detect pulse widths or contact closure durations as short as 10 microseconds. The Pulse101A allows for native measurement units to be scaled to display measurement units of another type, making it versatile for monitoring outputs from different types of sensors such as flow rate and wind speed.
MadgeTech 4 Software Features
- Statistics: Provides statistical analysis of recorded data.
- Export to Excel: Allows data to be exported to Microsoft Excel for further analysis.
- Graph View: Displays recorded data in graphical form for easy visualization.
- Tabular Data View: Displays recorded data in a table format for easy reference.
- Automation: Enables automated processes for data logging and analysis.
IFC200 USB Data Logger Interface
The IFC200 is an interface cable used to communicate between stand-alone data loggers and the MadgeTech software. It allows for starting, stopping, and downloading of data from the loggers. The IFC200 has been redesigned for plug- and-play functionality, eliminating the need for driver installation. It can be directly connected to a computer without any additional setup.
The improved IFC200 can operate at up to 500 Volts RMS relative to the computer’s earth ground when attached. It features communication LEDs that provide visual indication of device status. The blue light illuminates when the device is successfully recognized by Windows, the red light flashes when data is sent, and the green light flashes when data is received.
Product Usage Instructions
Pulse101A Data Logging
- Connect the desired input to the removable screw terminal of the Pulse101A.
- Ensure that the input falls within the specified input range of 0 to 30 VDC.
- Set the desired start mode by selecting immediate start, delay start, or multiple pushbutton start/stop.
- If using delay start, specify the desired delay duration (up to 18 months).
- Select the stop mode: manual through software or timed (specific date and time).
- If using timed stop mode, set the desired stop date and time.
- Configure any additional settings such as alarm limits and password protection as needed.
- Start the data logger according to the chosen start mode.
- Allow the Pulse101A to record data based on the configured reading rate.
- Stop the data logger manually through the software or allow it to stop automatically according to the chosen stop mode.
- Connect the Pulse101A to a PC using the IFC200 USB interface cable.
- Download the recorded data using the MadgeTech software for further analysis.
IFC200 Interface Cable Usage
- Ensure that the IFC200 is properly connected to the Pulse101A data logger and the computer.
- Check that the blue LED on the IFC200 illuminates, indicating successful recognition by Windows.
- Use the MadgeTech software to start, stop, or download data from the connected data logger.
- Monitor the red and green LEDs on the IFC200 to determine data transmission status.
- Ensure that the IFC200 is operated within the specified voltage limits for safe usage.
The Pulse101A is a compact data logger compatible with many switches, meters and transducers. This multipurpose pulse recording device is designed to accurately monitor and record events occurring within a specified time frame. The Pulse101A can be used for flow rate, gas and water metering, or can also be used in conjunction with an anemometer to track air speed. This versatile low cost device is compatible with dry contact closures and has many general purpose uses such as frequency monitoring and traffic studies.
The Pulse101A has a maximum pulse rate of 10 KHz to capture rapid events for a wide range of applications. With a ten year battery life and the ability to store over 1,000,000 readings, the Pulse101A can be deployed for long term assignments and configured to start and stop logging as specified by the user.
