2. DownLoad module DLOGPC0000

The Carel DownLoad Module, (code: DLOGPC0000) described in this manual, is a portable electronic instru-
ment which allows, by the simple pressing of a key, the collection of the data recorded on one or more Carel
Dataloggers. This data can then be transferred to a PC, where it can be easily analysed and printed using
specific software (WinLog) (see forward).
The DownLoad Module thus requires no direct connection for the downloading of data between the
Datalogger and the PC; the latter can thus be situated in a separate place from the Dataloggers.

2.1 Description of the Kit

The kit contains the following items:
• DownLoad Module (cod. 98C425C003)
• IR unit for the Datalogger (cod. DLOGIR0000)
• modem-PC cable (cod. 59C425A004)
• transformer 230 VAC-12VAC, 3VA (cod. 09C425A003)
• WinLog software (cod. 98C425P002)
• user manual (cod. +050000808)
Note: the 2 alkaline 1.5V AA batteries required are not supplied in the kit.
A brief description of each item is provided below.
• DownLoad Module: uploads the data memorised in one or more Dataloggers by infra-red beams.
Contains a non-volatile data memory which is four-times greater than that of a single Datalogger.
Using an RS232 port (25-pin female connector) the data loaded can then be transferred to a PC.
• IR unit for the Datalogger: a unit which is permanently mounted on the Datalogger, replacing the
pre-existing cover, allowing infra-red communications with the DownLoad Module. This accessory can be
ordered separately quoting code DLOGIR0000.
• Modem-PC cable: connects the 25-pin (female) port of the DownLoad Module to the RS232 serial port
(male) of the PC.
• 2 alkaline 1.5V AA batteries: (Not Supplied) power the DownLoad Module; provide power for around 2
hours of continuous operation.
• Transformer 230 VAC-12VAC, 3VA: powers the DownLoad Module when the latter is not fitted with batteries.
• WinLog software: (for Windows™ 3.1 and 95, not Windows™ NT), for PCs with the following minimum
system requirements: CPU= 486DX2/66, RAM= 8MB, 4MB Hdisk free, allows complete data management,
from downloading data to the PC, to the display of data in tables or on graphs and the analysis and printing
of data and graphs.
It allows the possibility to supervise the Datalogger in question using the DLOGSER000 kit, constantly
reading the status and values of the parameters and configuration, and to modify these using the software.
The infra-red Module, for downloading the data, will only work correctly on WinLog version 2.1 or above.

2.2 Installation of the kit

Caution

1. Avoid mounting the instrument in rooms with the following characteristics:
- wide and fast fluctuations of the ambient temperature;
- relative humidity exceeding 80%;
- exposure to direct water jets under pressure;
- remarkable magnetic and/or radio frequency interferences (e. g., of transmitting antennas).
2. Separate as much as possible the cables of the probe signals and of the digital inputs from the power and
inductive load cables in order to avoid possible electromagnetic noises. Absolutely do not introduce into the
same cable ducts (included those of the electric cables) power cables and probe cables. Avoid the probe
cables being installed close to power devices (contactors, magnetothermals, or other devices). Reduce as
much as possible the course of the probe cables in order to prevent the occurrence of spiral courses
enclosing power devices. To extend the probe cables, utilize cables with a minimum section of 0.5mm
3. Do not get near the electronic components mounted on the cards with your fingers in order to avoid stray
currents (extremely harmful) from the operator to the components themselves.

Installation of the IR Unit

The following operations are necessary:
1. Interrupt power to the Datalogger.
2. Unscrew the screws on the front plate of the Datalogger and remove the existing cover, which will no
longer be used.
3. Connect the telephone cable from the IR unit to the telephone connector in the Datalogger (See Fig. 6)
4. Screw the unit onto the front plate.
5. Provide power to the Datalogger.
