9.5.2 

Utilities – PreLOG Reboot

The function “

PreLOG Reboot

” can be used to reboot the PreLOG. In the process the RAM will be deleted, the 

con

fi

 guration loaded from the 

fl

 ash memory, the 

fl

 ash memory initialised again and a connected modem reset. A 

successful reboot will be reported in a message box.

Tip: At a reboot of the PreLOG neither recorded data as nor the values 

Precipitation Amount 

Between Retrievals

 and 

Precipitation Amount since Switch On

 will not be deleted.

9.5.3 

Utilities – PreLOG Clear Flash Memory

The function “

PreLOG Clear Flash Memory

” completely clears the 

fl

 ash memory of the PreLOG. This may be 

useful after a maintenance, if arti

fi

 cially generated data from a simulation were written on the PreLOG memory. A 

successful deletion will be reported in a message box. 

Attention: The function “

Clear Flash Memory

” deletes all data in the 

fl

 ash memory. Please retrieve 

all data from the PreLOG before using this function.

9.5.4 

Utilities – PreLOG Reset Total Precipitation Amount 

With the function “

PreLOG Reset Total Precipitation Amount

” you can reset the value for the precipitation amount 

since switch on of the PreLOG to zero. A successful reset will be reported by a message box.

9.5.5 

Utilities – PreLOG Critical Error

At switch on or reboot the PreLOG does a self-checking of its hardware. If any errors are detected, the PreLOG 
will not start to record data and reports a critical error. The description of these critical errors can be displayed 
with the function “

PreLOG Critical Error

”. 

If a critical error occurs, 

please check the PreLOG immediately

 and contact the LAMBRECHT service department 

(+49-5514958390), since the PreLOG cannot proceed as long as a critical error exists.

9.5.6 

Utilities – PreLOG Firmware Update

The function “

PreLOG Firmware Update

” can be used to load a new 

fi

 rmware into the EEPROM memory of the 

PreLOG. This might be necessary if new program features or improvements are available.

Attention! In the 

fi

 rmware updating process all data in the 

fl

 ash memory will be deleted. Therefore 

please retrieve all data from the 

fl

 ash memory before updating the 

fi

 rmware.

To perform a 

fi

 rmware update please follow these steps:

Select the interface the PreLOG is connected to.

1. 

Select the installation 

fi

 le of the new 

fi

 rmware and start the 

fi

 rmware update.

2. 

After a successful update please check the con

fi

 guration and time of the PreLOG. Correct the settings if 

3. 

necessary.

Inspection and Troubleshooting

It is recommended to perform visual and functional inspections on a regular basis at least once a year. The PreLOG 
is highly insensitive to external contamination. Nevertheless it should be ensured that no contaminations enter into 
the interfaces or that they are not accessible due to severe icing. The inspection intervals have to be adjusted to 
the respective environmental conditions.

10.1 Critical 

Error

At switch on or reboot the PreLOG does a self-checking of its hardware. If any errors are detected, the PreLOG 
will not start to log and reports a critical error. The description of these critical errors can be displayed with the 
function “

PreLOG Critical Error

”.
