The computer port of the data logger is accessed by re-
moving the plastic screw on the underside of the logger
(see fig. 1). The PC interface cable that accompanied
SpecWare software plugs into the serial jack inside the
logger casing.
The only time the logger needs to be connected to a com-
puter is during a download and/or when a change is being
made to the logger configuration. The data is not erased
following a download, and the logger does not need to be
restarted. Please consult the SpecWare User’s Guide or
Spectrum Technologies’ online troubleshooting resource
if you experience difficulty connecting to the logger.
Whenever the batteries are replaced, the time and date
must be reset immediately so the data is time-stamped cor-
rectly. However, all settings related to Degree Days, Chill
Hours and IPM parameters (disease models, DIF, etc.) re-
main stored in the meter’s memory even when the batter-
ies are removed.
The 2000 Series data log-
gers are powered by 4 AA
batteries. This will provide
enough power for 1 year of
continuous use. The bat-
tery compartment is ac-
cessed by removing the 4
Philips head screws on the
face plate (see fig 1).
Upon installation of the
batteries, the LCD should
illuminate and the logger
resume functioning. The
LCD will prompt you to set the date and time (see p. 11).
