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.

4.3 Data logger configuration with the integrated PDF file
The class 120 KISTOCK data loggers have an integrated PDF file which allows to configure quickly and easily the data logger. Therefore, you can directly configure your data logger 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 data logger 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

Only with the KH 120. ** The computer must be in compliance with the IEC60950 standard.

USE OF THE DEVICE

The integrated configuration file opens:
The file header indicates the device name and serial number. Button which allows to load a previous configuration, saved before on the computer.
“General information” Displays the name of the dataset and the possible comments.
“Configuration” allows to configure: – The datalogger – The recording mode – The stop conditions of the record
“Channel parameters” allows to configure the channels of temperature (KT 120 and KH 120) and hygrometry (only with the KH 120).
· 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.

USE OF THE DEVICE

· 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 conditions 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 data logger 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.

12

USE OF THE DEVICE

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 validate.

button to

Chose the place to save the configuration: to use this configuration for the next dataset, save the configuration directly on the data logger 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.

4.4 Data logger download with PDF report edition
Plug the class 120 KISTOCK data logger on an USB plug of the computer*.
Wait a few seconds, then the following window opens:
Click on “Open folder to view files”. The windows explorer opens.
Double-click on the “Report” PDF file to visualise the dataset report.

The computer must be in compliance with the IEC60950 standard.

USE OF THE DEVICE

13

Example of report:
State indicators: : Alarm activated : Alarm deactivated : Alarm OK : Alarm triggered
The background information indicates the dataset name and the eventual comments.
The device configuration is summarised with the measurement interval, the start/stop type, the recording duration, the number of recorded values and the date and time of dataset start and end.
The chart allows to visualise the recorded values evolution, with the units on ordinate, the date and time on abscissa and the defined high and low thresholds.

The header indicates the date and time of the report edition Device references Serial number and firmware version
The channel statistics indicate the values unit and the minimal, maximal, average and MKT values.
The alarms parameters and results indicate the defined high and low thresholds, their state (alarm or OK) and the longest duration of threshold exceeding.

You can print it or export it in PDF format to integrate it easily to your documents.
In “Loop” mode, results displayed on “Device configuration”, “Channel statistics” and “Alarms parameters and results” parts correspond to the device configuration, to the statistics and to the alarms parameters and results recorded since the launching of the measurement dataset. Data indicated on the graph correspond to the results of the last recorded loop.
