Appendix — SpecificationsPage 30IntroductionThe Datataker range of data loggers are all microprocessor-basedbattery powered or mains powered data loggers which can measure all of thefundamental signal types, and have direct support built in for a wide range ofcommonly used sensors.Data manipulation includes sensor calibrations, real-time statisticalfunctions, and real-time calculations. The acquired data can either be returnedto a host computer in real time, or can be logged into memory for laterrecovery. Data can be stored in battery backed internal memory, or in PC Card(PCMCIA) memory cards which can be periodically removed from the loggerto transport the data.Alarms can be set for all input channels, and can be annunciated byswitching of digital outputs, returning alarm messages to a host computer, anddisplaying alarm states.The Datataker models differ only in the number of input channels, thetype of analog channel multiplexing, and expansion and display options.All models support the same signal types and sensors, and have thesame capabilities for acquiring, manipulating and logging data.The Datataker data loggers are suitable for applications in industry,science, agriculture, the environment, hydrography, and the public utilities.The Datataker data loggers can be installed locally and communicatedirectly with a local host computer, or can be installed in remote locations andcommunicate to a base host computer by various telemetry options includingPSTN, cellular networks and radio.The Geologger 515 and 615 data loggers have the same specification asthe Datataker series. However, these loggers also support vibrating wire straingauges, which are the active elements of a wide range of pressure sensors,load sensors, displacement sensors, etc. that are commonly used ingeotechnical, mining and structural applications.Features Comparison of the Datataker Data LoggersDatataker 50 Datataker 500 Datataker 600 Datataker 505 Datataker 605 Geologger 515 Geologger 615Analog Channels - Differential 5 10 10 10 10 10 10or - Single Ended 10 30 30 30 30 30 30Multiplexer Solid State Solid State Solid State Relay Relay Relay RelayResolution 15 bit/1µV 15 bit/1µV 15 bit/1µV 15 bit/1µV 15 bit/1µV 15 bit/1µV 15 bit/1µVCommon Mode Range ±3.5V ±3.5V ±3.5V ±100V ±100V ±100V ±100VVolts, Current, 4-20mA, Resistance ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔Frequency, Period ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔Thermocouple Support 11 types 11 types 11 types 11 types 11 types 11 types 11 typesRTD Support (Pt, Cu, Ni) ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔Bridges, Strain Gauge Support ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔Vibrating Wire Support ✖ ✖ ✖ ✖ ✖ ✔ ✔Digital Channels - Input/Output 5/5 4/4 4/4 4/4 4/4 4/4 4/4Counter Channels - Fast/Slow 3/5 3/4 3/4 3/4 3/4 3/4 3/4Channel Expansion ✖ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔Isolated RS232 ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔Max Baud Rate 9600 9600 9600 9600 9600 9600 9600Supports Datataker Network ✖ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔Integral Display ✖ ✖ ✔ ✖ ✔ ✖ ✔Panel Mount Display Option ✔ ✔ ✖ ✔ ✖ ✔ ✖Internal Battery ✖ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔DT50 <strong>DT500</strong> DT600 DT505 DT605 DT515 DT615
