The LogBox Connect are a range of small, compact data loggers with wireless connectivity options of Bluetooth, WiFi and 3G. The loggers are available with 3 universal analogue and one digital input, plus a single PNP output. Analogue channels can be used with Thermocouples, PT100, 0-50mV, 0-10V or 0-20mA with logging options for instantaneous or average readings. Units are also able to monitor the internal battery voltage and external power supply. Memory capacity for 140,000 readings with logging intervals of 1 sec up to 18h. Power supply options of 10-30vDC or internal batteries. Dimensions: 120 x 100 x 40mm, IP40 housing with 3 line display. Operating Temperature -20 to +70°C. Currently, only the LogBox Connect BLE and 3G versions are available now. The WiFi version will be added once they become available.
