Power
1.
To turn on the logger, simply connect the red battery
lead to the positive terminal of the battery. The system
can run for up to 10 days from a fully charged battery.
2.
To charge the battery using the internal AC charger,
first locate the 2-pin in-line connectors in the NEMA
enclosure and connect them. Locate the power cord,
extend it, and connect it to a GFCI protected power
outlet (100-240 VAC). Make sure the connection is
weatherproof. RED LED = charging, GREEN = charged.
3.
To charge the battery using a solar panel, route the
panel's 2-pin in-line connector into the conduit fitting
and connect it to the matching connector inside the enclosure.

Download Data
1.
Press inwards on the data card to release it.
2.
Insert the data card into the USB card reader (included). Connect the card reader to a computer.
3.
Open File Explorer to access the contents of the memory card. Copy any files you want to keep.
Note: The logger creates a new file every day, with the date code as the name (YYYYMMDD.csv)
4.
Open the file in a spreadsheet. It may be necessary to invoke "Text to Columns" to get the data to
fall into separate columns. The logger does not pre-pend column headings, so you will need to
create headings and copy/paste them into the spreadsheet to make it easier to interpret the data.
