MadgeTech’s Volt101A data loggers are versatile data logging devices with many uses and applications. Connect negative and positive wire leads directly to the terminal port on the Volt101A to monitor and measure voltage levels. The Volt101A is commonly used to assess battery efficiencies or photovoltaic studies to identify how much energy is being created from solar cells. The Volt101A features a removable terminal block to allow for simple retrieval of the data logger for downloading while leaving the leads connected. With a ten year battery life and the ability to store up to one million time and date stamped readings, this device is ideal for long term deployment and voltage studies. Four models of the Volt101A are available. The 2.5 V is capable of measuring -3V to 3 V, the 15 V capable of measuring -8 V to 24 V, and the 30 V which can measure from -8 V to 32 V. For lower voltage applications that require a higher resolution, MadgeTech also offers the Volt101A 160 mV model, which can measure voltage between -160 and 160 mV.
Product Notes
LEDs
- - Green LED blinks: 10 seconds to indicate logging and 15 seconds to indicate delay start mode
- - Red LED blinks: 10 seconds to indicate low battery and/or memory and 1 second to indicate an alarm condition
Engineering Units
Native measurement units can be scaled to display measurement units of another type. This is useful when monitoring voltage outputs from different types of sensors such as temperature, CO2, flow rate and more. Please refer to the application note “Engineering Units”, found on the MadgeTech website, for information on how to manage Engineering Units. Also view the Engineering Units Video for step-by-step setup instructions.
Password Protection
An optional password may be programmed into the device to restrict access to configuration options. Data may be read out without the password.
Multiple Start/Stop Mode Activation
- To start device: Press and hold the pushbutton for 5 seconds, the green LED will flash during this time. The device has started logging.
- To stop the device: Press and hold the pushbutton for 5 seconds, the red LED will flash during this time. The device has stopped logging.
Alarm
User selectable high and low voltage limits.
