Installation Manual
DESCRIPTION
The Data Logging kit can be ordered with this part number:
67354-010
The Data Logging feature records three types of events:
•
Totalizer/error events
• Configuration change events
• Startup events (power up or reset events)
Each type of event is recorded into three separate files stored on
internal memory.
OTEE: N Over time the data logging will reach the capacity of the
memory. Any new events to be recorded will overwrite
the oldest event on record.
Totalizer/Error Events
The capacity of the logging memory is 30,000 messages. The table
below defines the capacity of the memory configured for data
logging. On each interval the totalizers are recorded in addition to
any errors that have occurred from the last interval. To program the
interval, go to Miscellaneous > Datalog Period.
Interval Totalizer / Error Events
15 min up to 312 days
1 hr up to 1250 days
6 hr up to 20 years
12 hr up to 40 years
24 hr up to 80 years
Configuration Events
Each Configuration event identifies the parameter that was
modified and to what value the parameter was changed. Up to 40
configuration events can be recorded.
Startup Events
Each Startup event identifies the time and reason of the event. The
M1000 does not record the date and time of a power off. A total of
20 startup events can be recorded.
EXTRACTING THE EVENT FILES
All logged events can be extracted from the meter using the
supplied Flow Meter Tool software, which connects the meter to a
laptop via the supplied RS232 cable.
