XR5 Data Loggers

[New!]Eleven channel XR5 Data Logger.

XR5 data logger

XR5 Data Loggers have 8 analog inputs, 3 pulse inputs, adjustable sensor excitation, detachable 20 position screw terminal block, status indicators and communication port in a mountable, palm-sized housing.  Special features include alarm generation for each analog input; average and peak sampling; 12 bit resolution; memory capacity of up to 260,000 readings (-M models), and real time data output.  Logging modes include delayed start, wrap-around, cycle, log on alarm, and log on external trigger.  The XR5's firmware can be easily updated by the user.  Battery life is 2 years or more for typical applications.  Directly connect Pressure Transducers, Temperature and Relative Humidity Probes, AC Current and Voltage Sensors, Light Sensors, and many other sensors directly to the XR5-SE with no external power required.

Selecting an XR5-SE model:

All XR5-SE Series Data Loggers have eight analog inputs. Using LogXR Software, any of the following input types can be selected for each analog input.

XR5-SE "Universal Inputs"

Each analog input can be set to any (mix and match):

0-5 vdc (10 megohm input impedance)
0-2.5 vdc (10 megohm input impedance)
PT9xx Temperature Probes
All Pace Pressure Transducers
Pace AC Current Sensors
Pace DC Current Sensors
Pace AC Voltage Sensors
Alternate Voltage Ranges using Pace Scaling Cables
TRH-160 Relative Humidity Probe
TRH-100 Relative Humidity Probe
PT510 & PT520 Platinum RTD
EC series Soil Moisture Sensors
SRS-100 Solar Radiation Sensor
LS100 Light Sensor
Resistance (2-wire)
Thermistor (10k or 30k)
Switch closure
Potentiometer
4-20ma (requires shunt.resistor)

All XR5-SE models include 5v and 2.5v sensor excitation terminals with sensor excitation time selectable from 30ms to 10 seconds.

Pace External Scaling Cables convert any XR5-SE analog input to one of the following ranges:

Additional XR5-SE Voltage Ranges using Pace Scaling Cables

+/-2.5v
+/-5v
0-10v
0-15v
0-20v
0-30v
0-60v
-2.5v to 7.5v
-7.5v to 12.5v
-12.5v to 17.5v
-27.5v to 32.5v
-57.6v to 62.6v
4-20ma

Please see page 74 of the XR5-SE User's Guide and Price List for details on external scaling cables.

Some Data Logging Applications

Millivolt / Thermocouple Option: Adding a millivolt option (table below) provides two additional millivolt ranges for each analog input.  The -20mv and -50mv options are recommended for Thermocouple applications.  The -20mv option provides higher thermocouple accuracy.  The -50mv option provides higher temperature ranges for some thermocouples.  Please see page 83-87 of the XR5-SE User's Guide and Price List for details.
