LogBox-AA Data Logger 

NOVUS AUTOMATION 

3/6

 

Decimal Digits: 

Allows you to define how many decimal places after 

the comma will be displayed in the Lower and Upper Limits, Upper 

and Lower Alarms and Offset parameters. 

Lower Limit and Upper Limit:

 Allows you to define upper and lower 

limit values for the inputs.

 

Alarm:

 Allows you to define limit values for the measured variable. 

Once  they are exceeded, the alarm will be triggered. In this case, 

even if the alarm condition no longer occurs, the alarm indicator will 

remain blinking.  

The "

Lower Alarm

" parameter allows you to define the value 

below which the alarm will be triggered.  
The  "

Upper Alarm

" parameter allows you to define the value 

above which the alarm will be triggered. 

Offset

:  Allows you to correct small errors presented by the input 

signal. Errors that occur, for example, when changing a sensor or 

replacing a transmitter. 

LOG REGISTER 

By clicking the 

 button, you can access the configuration fields of 

the logger data:

Log register 

LOG 
Log Interval

: Allows you to determine the time interval (hh:mm:ss) 

between acquisitions. At the end of this period, the data will be saved 

in the memory of the logger. 

Estimated Time

: Based on the "Interval" of the acquisitions and the 

number of programmed acquisitions, it informs you how long it 

should take the logger to perform all the programmed acquisitions. 

Available if the Memory Mode is set to "Full Memory" mode. 

External Battery Switch

: Allows you to set the time interval that the 

logger takes to turn on the electronic switch before each 

measurement. This time cannot exceed half the time between 

measurements (limited to 10 seconds). 

MEMORY MODE 
Circular  Memory

:  The logger performs acquisitions continuously. 

Once the logger reaches maximum memory capacity, the oldest data 

will be overwritten. 

Full Memory

:  The logger performs acquisitions until the available 

memory capacity of the logger is reached. 

START MODE 
Immediate Start

: Allows to start the acquisition process right after 

sending the configuration to the logger. 

Date/Time

:  Allows to start the acquisitions at a defined date and 

time. 

Digital Input

: Allows to perform acquisitions while the digital input is 

triggered (closed) and to stop acquisitions when the digital input is 

disabled (open). 

Start Button:

 Allows to start the acquisitions using the Start button. 

Daily:

  Allows to start the acquisitions daily and at a previously 

defined time.

 

STOP MODE 
Memory Mode Only

:  Allows to link the stop mode to the memory 

mode of the logger. That is, the acquisitions will be interrupted if the 

memory limit is reached (if 

Full Memory

 mode is set) or will never be 

interrupted (if 

Circular Memory

 mode is set).  

Date/Time

:  Allows to stop the acquisitions at a defined date and 

time. 

After a specific  number of logs

:  Allows to set a number of 

acquisitions that, when reached, will stop the acquisition process. 

Daily:

  Allows to stop the acquisitions daily and at a previously 

defined time. 

FINALIZATION 

Once the settings have been made, you must click the 

 button 

to open the finalization screen: 

 

Figure 9 –

 

Finalization 

From this screen you can send and start logs, save the configuration 

to file, download data from memory, and start, pause, or stop the  

logging control. 

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION 

Only the input channel connections and the internal electronic switch 

(when used) are required. The electrical power supply is provided 

exclusively by the internal battery. 
For the 

IP65

 model, input and external trigger terminals are available 

internally. To make the connections, you will need to open the 

housing.  
For the 

IP67

  model, the terminals are outside the housing, at the 

connectors shown in 

Figure 11

IP65 MODEL 

In the 

IP65

 model, the connections are made internally. To access 

the terminals and the configuration jumper, it is necessary to remove 

the cover from the logger.  
The connection wires enter the logger  through the cable gland 

located on the bottom of the housing. 

Figure 10

 shows the polarity of 

these connections:
