iNteNded use

The product is designed as a data logger and is suitable for installation in model vehicles/aircraft.

Up to eight optionally available modules from the RC Logger product line can be connected to

the product. The telemetry data gauged by the modules are simultaneously transmitted to the

internal memory of the product and afterward can be analysed on the computer with the aid of

the “RC Logger Viewer” software which is included. Power is supplied to the product via the

receiver of the model vehicle/aircraft. Power is supplied to the internal clock via a type CR1220

button cell battery.

For safety and approval purposes (CE), you must not rebuild and/or modify this product. If you

use the product for purposes other than those described above, the product may be damaged. In

addition, improper use can cause hazards such as short circuiting, fire, electric shock etc. Read

the instructions carefully and keep them. Make this product available to third parties only together

with its operating instructions.

RePLaCiNg the batteRy

Open the enclosure by loosening the two screws on the underside of the device with a Phillips

screwdriver.

Carefully remove the printed circuit board (PCB) from the enclosure. Take hold of the PCB

only on the sides.

The battery is located on the underside of the PCB. Carefully push the battery out of the

bracket and make sure that you do not touch any circuits or other components of the PCB. If

necessary, use a longish flat tool (e.g., screwdriver) as an aid.

Insert a type CR1220 button cell battery into the bracket, noting the correct polarity. The flat

side with the positive pole must point upward (away from the PCB).

Reinsert the PCB and the trigger button and close the enclosure.

The service life of the battery is approx. 1 year.

settiNgs

With the aid of the software that is included, you can make the following settings on the product:

PWM trigger function: with this function you can determine the time interval of the pulse-width

modulation signal and the channel controller (normal/reverse) for the trigger function.

Module ID checking function: with this function you can ascertain on the basis of the LED

display whether all modules are correctly connected to the product.

Internal clock: set the correct time so as to automatically assign the current time to the data

recorded.

For this, proceed as follows:

Make sure that the product is switched off.

Connect the product to a computer via the USB cable. The product is detected as an external

device. The green signal LED lights up.

Install and start the “RC Logger Viewer” software included.

Now make the settings. In doing so, refer to the information in the software instructions.

Separate the product fully first via the operating system, and then by the USB cable.

When you turn on the product, the previously defined settings are taken over.

iNstaLLatioN / CoNNeCtioN

Power is supplied to the product via the receiver of the model vehicle/aircraft.

make sure that the output voltage of the receiver matches the input voltage

of the product. otherwise the product could be damaged or may not work

flawlessly. Therefore note the technical specifications before connecting it.

Pay attention to the correct alignment of the plug when you connect the receiver/

trigger cable to the product. the product can be damaged if the alignment is

wrong.

Choose a suitable spot in the model vehicle/aircraft. Make sure that all controls of the product

are free and can be easily reached.

Fasten the product, e.g., with double-sided adhesive tape and/or cable ties (neither included

in the delivery).

Connect the three-conductor receiver/trigger cable to the “PWR/T” connection and the

corresponding connection on the receiver of the model vehicle/aircraft.

staRtiNg ReCoRdiNg

Do not disconnect the receiver/trigger cable when starting or finishing a

recording, and do not turn the product off, before the Leds light up. otherwise,

the files in the internal memory can be damaged.

Switch the model vehicle/aircraft on.

Switch the product on by setting the ON/OFF switch to the ON position. Wait until both LEDs

Follow the information in the software instructions for reading out and further processing

stored data.

Separate the product reliably first via the operating system, and then by the USB cable.

All files are stored in a new folder. The folder name is automatically assigned and is

composed of the date and start time of the recording.

The file name consists of the folder name and the extension “partXXX.lc”, where XXX

is the number 001 to 300.

In each file, data from a time period of up to 60 seconds (max.) is stored.

If more than 300 files are generated during a recording, they are stored in a new

folder.
