The iMiniPlus PDF Logger comes with water-proof covers for the USB connection
and the battery.
Make sure that when logger is in use these covers are in place. This is important
in wet or dusty environments. If covers are lost please contact your distributor
for a replacement.
When replacing the battery align one triangular mark on the battery cover
against similar shaped mark on the logger base to avoid damaging plastic lock
feature of the battery cover part.

How iMiniPlus PDF Logger works
iMiniPlus PDF Logger needs to be programmed by
Escort Console
for logging trip
before use. (16K iMiniPlus PDF loggers can be restarted by 'START' button, if
during the program 'Restart' option is enabled only applicable if previous logged
trip has not triggered 'HIGH ALARM' and/or 'LOW ALARM')
There is no need to install USB drivers on PC. iMiniPlus PDF Logger is configured
as generic USB Mass Storage Device. All operating systems should install this
device automatically using default USB drivers.
iMiniPlus PDF does not require any proprietary software installation to download
data from logger after logging trip is finished.
iMiniPlus PDF normally generates 3 files once connected to USB.
•
PDF report. This file is used to view logger data. This file is not present if
the logger has been configured not to produce it.
•
CONTROL.BIN file is used for communication purposes with Escort
software
•
.LRF file is used by
Escort Console
to create secure .LCF file for traceable
data records.
iMiniPlus PDF Logger does not consume battery power when connected to USB and cannot
measure or recognize change in Battery status.
iMiniPlus PDF Logger checks battery status every 15 minutes when not connected to USB and
updates Battery Low icon on LCD.
Escort Console checks battery status of the logger when programming the logger for new trip.
Please note that battery low detect circuit is only accurate when electronics and battery of the is
at room temperatures from 15 °C to 25 °C or from 59 °F to 77 °F. If logger is used in cold
environment it may report battery low prematurely on LCD display. In this case remove logger
from cold and check again battery status after 15 minutes or when the temperature of
electronics has risen to room temperature range.
