Specifications

How long will an average battery last?
Good lithium cells will allow the sensors to operate circa one year. In colder
areas it is possible that this operation time is considerably shorter.
What is the difference between BS-500/TL-500, BS-510 and TL-510?
The difference can be found in the internal backup battery for the internal
clock. All other functionality is 100% equal. The battery will operate the
internal clock during a power failure and prevents an (automatic) adjustment
to the PC's clock. Therefore the internal backup battery allows you to
continually proceed with the logging process at power failures.
How do we reset the BS-510 or BS-1000?
Switch off the module and remove the internal backup battery for 20
seconds.
If the BS-510 or BS-1000 shortly operate in memory mode, the data
storage does not contain any data, although the yellow LED is
flashing?
That is correct. The (permanent) flash memory has been provided with a
small temporary memory, which is not permanent. The temporary memory
must be filled before the contents is transferred to the flash memory. If the
module is switched off before the first data has been transferred to the flash
memory, no data will be stored permanently at all.
After connecting the BS-510 or BS-1000 to the PC, the system does
not transfer any data to the PC?
The logger software will transfer data as soon as the software has succeeded
to connect the PC to the module. If the automatic connection is failing,
please check the following points:
- The logger software has been installed and is working
- The connection to the base station is active: the logger receives new
sensor data.
- The flash memory does contain data.
- The flash memory is working.
