OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
DL-181THP AMBIENT MONITORING DATA LOGGER
Item No. 10 50 59
1. INTENDED USE
The battery-operated, compact data logger DL-181THP has an internal temperature sensor,
air humidity sensor and air pressure sensor. The measured data is recorded automatically at
adjustable intervals from 2 seconds up to 24 hours. At most 32,745 measured values (10,915
each for temperature, air humidity and air pressure) can be saved. This enables data recording
over several years.
A space-saving installation via wall mount is also possible. The data logger is connected to a
computer like a standard USB data carrier and read there. Data is evaluated graphically with an
evaluation program. Data export for table evaluation is also possible. In addition, the recorded data
can be saved for further processing.
A long-life lithium battery supplies the power. This ensures a very long recording time.
With attached protective cap, the product is spray water-protected and can be used indoors and
outdoors. It is not authorized to use the device if the housing is not completely shut.
The data logger must not be operated when it is open, i.e. with an open battery compartment or
when the battery compartment cover is missing. Measuring under adverse ambient conditions like
dust and flammable gasses, vapours or solvents is not admissible. The safety instructions must
be followed unconditionally!
This product fulfils European and national requirements related to electromagnetic
compatibility (EMC). CE conformity has been verified and the relevant statements and
documents have been deposited at the manufacturer.
Unauthorised conversion and/or modification of the device are inadmissible because of safety and
approval reasons (CE). Any usage other than described above is not permitted and can damage
the product and lead to associated risks such as short-circuit, fire, electric shock, etc. Please read
the operating instructions thoroughly and keep them for further reference.

5. INITIAL OPERATION
• The data loggers are protected against spray water with a protective cap and a rubber seal. This
protection allows permanent logging operation also in damp rooms or outdoors.
• The protective cap must be removed for changing the battery or reading the saved data via a
computer.
• Pull the transparent cap off the device. The protective cap has a tight fit on the data logger due to
the rubber seal. Twist the protective cap carefully back and forth while pulling until it comes off.
• Prior to data recording with the data logger, you have to replace the protective cap tightly
again.
