Logger Components and Operation
Anti-Biofouling Copper Guard:
Use this guard to protect the pH
electrode when deploying the logger in water prone to
biofouling (see
Deploying and Mounting the Logger
).
Closure Caps:
These caps are screwed onto the sensor end and
the mounting end (or top end) of the logger.
Sensor End Cap:
This is the bottom end of the logger where the
pH electrode is installed, and the temperature sensor and
water detection screws are located.
Temperature Sensor:
The temperature sensor is located at the
base of the sensor end cap.
Water Detection Screws:
These two screws on the sensor end
cap can detect the presence of water. This allows you to
configure the logger in a power-saving mode in which
Bluetooth advertising is active only when the logger is removed
from water. See
Configuring the Logger
for details.
Note:
The
logger will check for the presence of water every 15 seconds
when the Bluetooth Off Water Detect power-saving mode is
selected.
pH Electrode:
This is the electrode that is plugged into the
logger. The clear plastic end houses a glass pH sensor bulb that
must always be placed in storage solution when not deployed
in water. This electrode must be replaced every 6 months. See
Installing the pH Electrode
for details.
Logger Housing:
This is the main body of the logger.
Battery Holder:
This is where one AA battery is installed under
a battery strap (see
Battery Information
).
Reed Switch:
This is used in conjunction with the magnetic
switch on the mounting end cap.
LEDs:
The blue LED blinks every 4 seconds when the logger is
logging (unless Show LED is disabled as described in
Configuring
the Logger
). The blue LED blinks every 8 seconds if the logger is
waiting to start logging because it was configured to start “On
