The EL005 logger has no display or buttons, and so must be
connected to a computer or printer to view the data. The EL005
has a larger memory than the EL008 (250,000 samples compared
to 15,000) and long life internal rechargeable batteries. This
combination makes it ideal for recording data over long periods
of time.
The EL005 does not have an internal alarm: the EL006 can be
used if required.
The EL005 logger has internal
rechargeable batteries. These batteries
are kept topped up whilst mains power
is available, and will keep the system
running for up to 72 hours during a
mains power failure. The EL018 dialer
adapter / battery backup can provide
power to the system for much longer
periods in the event of mains failure.

EL005
logger
At the core of the EnviroMon system is the logger, which stores
readings taken at intervals from one minute to four hours and
sounds an alarm should a problem arise. The logger can send
detailed or summary reports directly to a printer at specified
intervals, or transfer data to a computer for long term storage
and graphical analysis. The logger contains back-up batteries
so that it continues recording if the mains power fails.
EL008
logger
EnviroMon Loggers
Data from the EL008 can be collected then downloaded to a
computer, alternatively it can be used as a stand alone data
logger. If used as a stand-alone logger, the EL008 needs to be
connected to a computer (via the serial port) during the
installation and set up process. However, once the system is
operational, you can disconnect the computer and control the
logger using the built in buttons and display. If the logger is
connected to a computer, there are many more functions
available to you.
The display on the logger will continuously cycle through each
of the sensors, displaying the name and reading, followed
by the date and time. It is possible to hold
the display on a particular sensor. The
display will then show only the reading for
that location.
The EL008 logger has a battery
compartment for 4xAA batteries: these
batteries will keep the system running
for up to 24 hours during a mains power
failure. The optional EL018 dialler
adapter / battery backup can provide
power to the system for much longer periods
in the event of mains failure.
Remote data logging
EnviroMon for Windows supports IP networking. This enables
data collected by the EnviroMon to be accessed from a computer
at a remote site via an existing LAN, company network, or even
over the Internet. You might, for example, wish to monitor
environmental conditions in a remote computer room or mobile
phone base station. In addition, remote access through IP is
also appealing to those employing the Linux operating system.
The EL005 features GSM support. This is ideal for mobile data
logging and remote sites - it can also be used to send text
messages using GSM’s short message system (SMS) to any
phone.
Each logger is supplied with EnviroMon for Windows software, for:
System configuration - naming sensors, setting alarm
thresholds etc.
Download of data to a computer - for long term storage
Graphical analysis of data - either using inbuilt features or
data can be exported to other software applications.
Computer print-outs - print graphs, raw data, summary reports
(including min / max / average values) etc on any Windows
compatible printer.
A remote PC can call up the logger to download data into EnviroMon
for Windows by using the EL033 modem adaptor to connect the
logger to a modem. (The PC must also be connnected to a modem.)

EnviroMon, Pico Technology’s
software for its standalone data
logging products, features Internet
Protocol (IP) networking capability. In
addition, PicoLog (software for PCs
used in data-logging applications) is
also IP capable - enabling remote data
collection from the company’s full range of data
acquisition products.
