The logger can be placed in indoor locations that experience
condensation. Although the logger can withstand incidental
splashing with water, do not deploy it in a permanently wet
location.
Protecting the Logger
Note: Static electricity may cause the logger to stop logging.
The logger has been tested to 8 KV, but avoid electrostatic
discharge by grounding yourself to protect the logger. For more
information, search for static discharge on the Onset website:
www.onsetcomp.com.
Battery Information
The logger uses one CR2450 non-replaceable lithium battery.
Battery life is 1 year, typical with a logging interval of 1 minute,
but may be extended to 2 years when the logger is configured
with Bluetooth Always On disabled. Expected battery life varies
based on the ambient temperature where the logger is
deployed and the frequency of connections, downloads, and
paging. Deployments in extremely cold or hot temperatures or
a logging interval faster than 1 minute can affect battery life.
Estimates are not guaranteed due to uncertainties in initial
battery conditions and operating environment.
WARNING: Do not cut open, incinerate, heat above 85°C
(185°F), or recharge the lithium battery. The battery may
explode if the logger is exposed to extreme heat or conditions
that could damage or destroy the battery case. Do not dispose
of the logger or battery in fire. Do not expose the contents of
the battery to water. Dispose of the battery according to local
regulations for lithium batteries.
