4.9 Data storage (internal / external)
Storage capacity
Depending on the device´s setting – means the set interval and the storage card capacity - different
storage times will be reached. Only PCMCIA SRAM data storage cards can be used. Data will be stored
using the First in First out (circular buffer) method. This will transcribe the oldest values when having a full
storage card.
The data storage card has to be installed before beginning a measurement!
The data storage card has to be inserted into the small black slot (Data card inlet) on the front side of the
dust monitor (beneath the display) until you can hear it clicking. Insert it with arrow facing up (facing the
display) into the slot. A correct inserted card protrudes from the device about 0.4“ (1cm).
A storage card will only be accepted by the device if it is deleted or already has been used inside
the same device without a change of the version and number of the additional sensors.
With a valid storage card the LCD will show after inserting it about 3 seconds the card size and version.
Afterwards the interval and the spare storage time. With the keys „+“ and „-“ the interval can be changed
during this information and the spare storage time will be refreshed.
A not accepted storage card does not show storage times!
Is the storage card not accepted the measurement will not start. Please make sure the write protection is
deactivated. All measured values will now be stored onto the data storage card automatically.
If you don´t use a data storage card the message NO MEMOCARD will show up.
With the beginning of a measurement a warning signal (beep-tone) resounds.
Caution! It is not possible to use cards with stored data of a certain device inside a different
device!
Deleting the data memory (internal/ external)
If you press both [Mean/Weight] and [Temp./r.H.] at the same time then all data will be deleted from the
internal memory after confirming by pressing the key [+]. This is only possible within the stand-by mode.
Having a storage card inside the device the internal memory will not be deleted (version ”F” and younger).
The data memory then will be tested and formatted.
Data preservation/ storage card battery
The data on the storage card is being preserved by a buffer battery. If the storage card is inside the EDM
180 the power supply happens via the device. Please read out the stored data before changing the battery
or otherwise data loss might happen. If the error message „PLEASE REPLACE MEMORYCARD-BATT.“
shows up the data storage card battery has to be changed.
