The OM-USB-5203 is a USB 2.0 full-speed, temperature measurement device that is supported under popular Microsoft® Windows® operating systems. The OM-USB-5203 is fully compatible with both USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 ports. The OM-USB-5203 provides eight differential input channels that are software-programmable for different sensor categories including thermocouple, RTDs, thermistors and semiconductor sensors. Eight independent, TTL-compatible digital I/O channels are provided to monitor TTL-level inputs, communicate with external devices, and to generate alarms. The digital I/O channels are softwareprogrammable for input or output. With the OM-USB-5203, you can take measurements from four sensor categories: Thermocouple – types J, K, R, S, T, N, E, and B Resistance temperature detectors (RTDs) – 2, 3, or 4-wire measurements of 100 _ platinum RTDs Thermistors – 2, 3, or 4-wire measurements Semiconductor temperature sensors – LM36 or equivalent The OM-USB-5203 provides a 24-bit analog-to-digital (A/D) converter for each pair of differential analog input channels. Each pair of differential inputs constitutes a channel pair. You can connect a different category of sensor to each channel pair, but you cannot mix categories among the channels that constitute a channel pair (although it is permissible to mix thermocouple types). The OM-USB-5203 provides two integrated cold junction compensation (CJC) sensors for thermocouple measurements, and built-in current excitation sources for resistive sensor measurements. An open thermocouple detection feature lets you detect a broken thermocouple. An on-board microprocessor automatically linearizes the measurement data according to the sensor category. The OM-USB-5203 features eight independent temperature alarms. Each alarm controls an associated digital I/O channel as an alarm output. The input to each alarm is one of the temperature input channels. The output of each alarm is software configurable as active high or low. You set up the temperature threshold conditions to activate each alarm. When an alarm is activated, the associated DIO channel is driven to the output state. You can log your sensor measurements to a CompactFlash® memory card. CompactFlash is a removable nonvolatile storage device. A 512 MB CompactFlash memory card is shipped with the device to store your data. For more information, refer to the section "Logging data with the OM-USB-5203" on page 7. External power is required for data logging operations Due to processing limitations, data logging to the memory card is not allowed when the OM-USB-5203 is connected to your computer's active USB bus. When operating as a data logger, disconnect the USB cable from the computer, and connect the external power supply shipped with the device. The OM-USB-5203 is a standalone plug-and-play device. External power is required for data logging mode only. All configurable options are software programmable. The OM-USB-5203 is fully software calibrated. 6 OM-USB-5203 User's Guide Introducing the OM-USB-5203 Logging data with the OM-USB-5203 The OM-USB-5203 has many software-configurable options for setting up data logging. You can record: temperature (° C) or raw data from selected input channels timestamp data CJC sensor readings You can also specify the number of seconds between samples. You can begin logging data at power up, when you press the data logging button, or at a specific date and time. OM-USB-5203 block diagram OM-USB-5203 functions are illustrated in the block diagram shown here. Figure 1. OM-USB-5203 functional block diagram Software features For information on the features of InstaCal and the other software included with your OM-USB-5203, refer to the OMB-DAQ-2416 Series and OM-USB Series Data Acquisition Software User’s Guide that shipped with your device. 7 OM-USB-5203 User's Guide Introducing the OM-USB-5203 Connecting a OM-USB-5203 to your computer is easy Installing a data acquisition device has never been easier. The OM-USB-5203 relies upon the Microsoft Human Interface Device (HID) class drivers. The HID class drivers ship with every copy of Windows that is designed to work with USB ports. We use the Microsoft HID because it is a standard, and its performance delivers full control and maximizes data transfer rates for your OM-USB-5203. No third-party device driver is required. In addition to utilizing the HID class drivers, the OM-USB-5203 also utilizes the Mass Storage Device interface to allow the CompactFlash Card adapter to appear as a storage device. This feature allows direct access to data files stored on the OM-USB-5203. The OM-USB-5203 is plug-and-play. There are no jumpers to position, DIP switches to set, or interrupts to configure. You can connect the OM-USB-5203 before or after you install the software, and without powering down your computer first. When you connect an HID to your system, your computer automatically detects it and configures the necessary software. You can connect and power multiple HID peripherals to your system using a USB hub. You can connect your system to various devices using a standard four-wire cable. The USB connector replaces the serial and parallel port connectors with one standardized plug and port combination. You do not need a separate power supply device for normal operation. The USB automatically delivers the electrical power required by each peripheral connected to your system. However, for data logging operations, an external power supply is required. Data can flow two ways between a computer and peripheral over USB connections. 8 Installing the OM-USB-5203 Chapter 2 What comes with your OM-USB-5203 shipment?

Before removing the OM-USB-5203 from its packaging, ground yourself using a wrist strap or by simply touching the computer chassis or other grounded object to eliminate any stored static charge. If any components are missing or damaged, notify Omega Engineering immediately by phone, fax, or e-mail. Phone: (203) 359-1660 Fax: (203) 359-7700 Email: [email protected] Installing the software Refer to the OMB-DAQ-2416 Series and OM-USB Series Data Acquisition Software User’s Guide for instructions on installing the software on the OMB-DAQ-2416 Series and OM-USB Series Data Acquisition Software CD. This booklet is available in PDF at http://omega.com/manuals. Installing the hardware To connect the OM-USB-5203 to your system, turn your computer on, and connect the USB cable to a USB port on your computer or to an external USB hub that is connected to your computer. The USB cable provides power and communication to the OM-USB-5203. Caution! If you are connecting the OM-USB-5203 to an external self-powered hub, connect the USB hub to the computer before you connect the device to the hub. This ensures that the device detects the hub as an active USB port. The OM-USB-5203 installs as a composite device with separate devices attached. When you connect the OMUSB-5203 for the first time, Found New Hardware popup balloons (Windows XP) or dialogs (other Windows version) open as each OM-USB-5203 interface is detected. It is normal for multiple dialogs to open when you connect the OM-USB-5203 for the first time. For additional information, refer to the "Notes on installing and using the OM-USB-5201 and OM-USB-5203 data logging devices" that shipped with the OM-USB-5203. When the last balloon or dialog closes, the installation is complete. The LED on the OM-USB-5203 should flash and then remain lit. This indicates that communication is established between the OM-USB-5203 and your computer. Caution! Do not disconnect any device from the USB bus while the computer is communicating with the OM-USB-5203, or you may lose data and/or your ability to communicate with the OM-USB5203. If the LED turns off If the LED is lit but then turns off, the computer has lost communication with the OM-USB-5203. To restore communication, disconnect the USB cable from the computer, and then reconnect it. This should restore communication, and the LED should turn back on. Configuring the OM-USB-5203 All hardware configuration options on the OM-USB-5203 are programmable with software. Use InstaCal to set the sensor type for each channel. The configurable options dynamically update according to the selected sensor category. Configuration options are stored on the OM-USB-5203 's isolated microcontroller in EEPROM, which is non-volatile memory on the OM-USB-5203 device. Configuration options are loaded on power up. 10 OM-USB-5203 User's Guide Installing the OM-USB-5203 Default configuration The factory default sensor type configuration is Disabled. The disabled mode disconnects the analog inputs from the terminal blocks and internally grounds all of the A/D inputs. This mode also disables each of the current excitation sources. Warm up Allow the OM-USB-5203 to warm up for 30 minutes before taking measurements. This warm up time minimizes thermal drift and achieves the specified rated accuracy of measurements. For RTD or thermistor measurements, this warm-up time is also required to stabilize the internal current reference. Configuring data logging options The following data logging options are programmable with InstaCal. select the input channels to log set the data format set the start mode set up alarm conditions copy and convert saved binary files delete data files All data logging options are stored on the OM-USB-5203 in non-volatile memory in EEPROM, and are loaded on power up. Calibrating the OM-USB-5203 The OM-USB-5203 is fully calibrated with InstaCal. Calibration coefficients are stored in EEPROM. InstaCal prompts you to run its calibration utility when you change from one sensor category to another. Allow the OM-USB-5203 to operate for at least 30 minutes before calibrating. This warm up time minimizes thermal drift and achieves the specified rated accuracy of measurements. 11 Chapter 3 Sensor Connections The OM-USB-5203 supports the following temperature sensor types: Thermocouple – types J, K, R, S, T, N, E, and B Resistance temperature detectors (RTDs) – 2, 3, or 4-wire measurement modes of 100 _ platinum RTDs. Thermistors – 2, 3, or 4-wire measurement modes. Semiconductor temperature sensors – LM36 or equivalent Sensor selection The type of sensor you select will depend on your application needs. Review the temperature ranges and accuracies of each sensor type to determine which is best suited for your application. Screw terminal pin out The OM-USB-5203 has four rows of screw terminals — two rows on the top edge of the housing, and two rows on the bottom edge. Each row has 26 connections. Between each bank of screw terminals are two integrated CJC sensors used for thermocouple measurements. Signals are identified in Figure 2. Figure 2.

Tighten screw terminal connections When making connections to the screw terminals, fully tighten the screw. Simply touching the top of the screw terminal is not sufficient to make a proper connection. Sensor input terminals (C0H/C0L to C7H/C7L) You can connect up to eight temperature sensors to the differential sensor inputs (C0H/C0L to C7H/C7L). Supported sensor categories include thermocouples, RTDs, thermistors, or semiconductor sensors. Do not mix sensor categories within channel pairs. It is permitted to mix thermocouple types (J, K, R, S, T, N, E, and B) within channel pairs, however. Do not connect two different sensor categories to the same channel pair The OM-USB-5203 provides a 24 bit A/D converter for each channel pair. Each channel pair can monitor one sensor category. To monitor a sensor from a different category, connect the sensor to a different channel pair (input terminals). 13 OM-USB-5203 User's Guide Sensor Connections Current excitation output terminals (±I1 to ±I4) The OM-USB-5203 has four dedicated pairs of current excitation output terminals (±I1 to ±I4). These terminals have a built-in precision current source to provide excitation for the resistive sensors used for RTD and thermistor measurements. Each current excitation terminal is dedicated to one pair of sensor input channels: I1+ is the current excitation source for channel 0 and channel 1 I2+ is the current excitation source for channel 2 and channel 3 I3+ is the current excitation source for channel 4 and channel 5 I4+ is the current excitation source for channel 6 and channel 7 Four-wire, two sensor common terminals (4W01 to 4W67) These terminals are used as the common connection for four-wire configurations with two RTD or thermistor sensors. Two sensor common terminals (IC01 to IC67) These terminals are used as the common connection for two-wire configurations with two RTD or thermistor sensors. Ground terminals (GND) The six ground terminals (GND) provide a common ground for the input channels and DIO bits and are isolated (500 VDC) from the USB GND. Power terminals (+5V) The two +5V output terminals are isolated (500 VDC) from the USB +5V. Caution! Each +5V terminal is an output. Do not connect to an external power supply to these terminals or you may damage the OM-USB-5203 and possibly the computer. Digital terminals (DIO0 to DIO7) You can connect up to eight digital I/O lines to the screw terminals labeled DIO0 to DIO7. Each terminal is software-configurable for input or output. If a digital bit is set up as an alarm, the bit is configured for output on power-up, and assumes the state defined by the alarm configuration. CJC sensors The OM-USB-5203 has two built in high-resolution temperature sensors. One sensor is located on the right side of the package, and one sensor is located on the left side. Thermocouple connections A thermocouple consists of two dissimilar metals that are joined together at one end. When the junction of the metals is heated or cooled, a voltage is produced that correlates to temperature. The OM-USB-5203 makes fully-differential thermocouple measurements without the need of groundreferencing resistors. A 32-bit floating point value in either a voltage or temperature format is returned by software. An open thermocouple detection feature is available for each analog input which automatically detects an open or broken thermocouple. Use InstaCal to select the thermocouple type (J, K, R, S, T, N, E, and B) and one or more sensor input channels to connect the thermocouple. 14 OM-USB-5203 User's Guide Sensor Connections Wiring configuration Connect the thermocouple to the OM-USB-5203 using a differential configuration, as shown in Figure 3. Figure 3. Typical thermocouple connection The OM-USB-5203 GND pins are isolated from earth ground, so connecting thermocouple sensors to voltages referenced to earth ground is permissible as long as the isolation between the GND pins (9, 19, 28, 38) and earth ground is maintained. When thermocouples are attached to conductive surfaces, the voltage differential between multiple thermocouples must remain within ±1.4 V. For best results, we recommend the use of insulated or ungrounded thermocouples when possible. Maximum input voltage between analog input and ground The absolute maximum input voltage between an analog input and the isolated GND pins is ±25 VDC when the OM-USB-5203 is powered on, and ±40 VDC when the OM-USB-5203 is powered off. If you need to increase the length of your thermocouple, use the same type of thermocouple wires to minimize the error introduced by thermal EMFs. RTD and thermistor connections A resistance temperature detector (RTD) measures temperature by correlating the resistance of the RTD element with temperature. A thermistor is a thermally-sensitive resistor that is similar to an RTD in that its resistance changes with temperature — thermistors show a large change in resistance that is proportional to a small change in temperature. The main difference between RTD and thermistor measurements is the method used to linearize the sensor data. RTDs and thermistors are resistive devices that require an excitation current to produce a voltage drop that can be measured differentially across the sensor. The OM-USB-5203 features four built-in current excitation sources (±I1 to ±I4) for measuring resistive type sensors. Each current excitation terminal is dedicated to one channel pair. The OM-USB-5203 makes two, three, and four-wire measurements of RTDs (100 _ platinum type) and thermistors. Use InstaCal to select the sensor type and the wiring configuration. Once the resistance value is calculated, the value is linearized in order to convert it to a temperature value. A 32-bit floating point value in either temperature or resistance is returned by software. RTD maximum resistance Resistance values greater than 660 Ω cannot be measured by the OM-USB-5203 in the RTD mode. The 660 Ω resistance limit includes the total resistance across the current excitation (±Ix) pins, which is the sum of the RTD resistance and the lead resistances. 15 OM-USB-5203 User's Guide Sensor Connections Thermistor maximum resistance Resistance values greater than 180 kΩ cannot be measured by the OM-USB-5203 in the thermistor mode. The 180 kΩ resistance limit includes the total resistance across the current excitation (±Ix) pins, which is the sum of the thermistor resistance and the lead resistance. Two-wire configuration The easiest way to connect an RTD sensor or thermistor to the OM-USB-5203 is with a two-wire configuration, since it requires the fewest connections to the sensor. With this method, the two wires that provide the RTD sensor with its excitation current also measure the voltage across the sensor. Since RTDs exhibit a low nominal resistance, measurement accuracy can be affected due to the lead wire resistance. For example, connecting lead wires that have a resistance of 1 Ω (0.5 Ω each lead) to a 100 Ω platinum RTD will result in a 1% measurement error. With a two-wire configuration, you can connect either one sensor per channel pair, or two sensors per channel pair. Two-wire, single-sensor A two-wire single-sensor measurement configuration is shown in Figure 4. Figure 4. Two-wire, single RTD or thermistor sensor measurement configuration When you select a two-wire single sensor configuration with InstaCal, connections to C#H and C#L are made internally. Two-wire, two sensor A two-wire, two-sensor measurement configuration is shown in Figure 5. Figure 5. Two-wire, two RTD or thermistor sensors measurement configuration When you select a two-wire, two sensor configuration with InstaCal, connections to C#H (first sensor) and C#H/C#L (second sensor) are made internally. When configured for two-wire mode, both sensors must be connected to obtain proper measurements. 16 OM-USB-5203 User's Guide Sensor Connections Three-wire configuration A three-wire configuration compensates for lead-wire resistance by using a single-voltage sense connection. With a three-wire configuration, you can connect only one sensor per channel pair. A three-wire measurement configuration is shown in Figure 6. Figure 6. Three-wire RTD or thermistor sensor measurement configuration When you select a three-wire sensor configuration with InstaCal, the OM-USB-5203 measures the lead resistance on the first channel (C#H/C#L) and measures the sensor itself using the second channel (C#H/C#L). This configuration compensates for any lead-wire resistance and temperature change in lead-wire resistance. Connections to C#H for the first channel and C#H/C#L of the second channel are made internally. Three-wire compensation For accurate three wire compensation, the individual lead resistances connected to the ±I# pins must be of equal resistance value. Four-wire configuration With a four-wire configuration, connect two sets of sense/excitation wires at each end of the RTD or thermistor sensor. This configuration completely compensates for any lead-wire resistance and temperature change in leadwire resistance. Connect your sensor with a four-wire configuration when your application requires very high accuracy measurements. Examples of a four-wire single-sensor measurement configuration are shown in Figure 7 and Figure 8. You can configure the OM-USB-5203 with either a single-sensor-per-channel, or a two-sensor–per-channel pair. Four-wire, single-sensor A four-wire, single-sensor connected to the first channel of a channel pair is shown in Figure 7. Figure 7. Four-wire, single RTD or thermistor sensor measurement configuration A four-wire, single-sensor connected to the second channel of a channel pair is shown in Figure 8. 17 OM-USB-5203 User's Guide Sensor Connections Figure 8. Four-wire, single RTD or thermistor sensor measurement configuration A four-wire, two-sensor measurement configuration is shown in Figure 9. Figure 9. Four-wire, two RTD or thermistor sensors measurement configuration When configured for two-wire mode, both sensors must be connected to obtain proper measurements. Semiconductor sensor measurements Semiconductor sensors are suitable over a range of approximately -40 °C to 125 °C, where an accuracy of ±2 °C is adequate. The temperature measurement range of a semiconductor sensor is small when compared to thermocouples and RTDs. However, semiconductor sensors can be accurate, inexpensive, and easy to interface with other electronics for display and control. The OM-USB-5203 makes high-resolution measurements of semiconductor sensors, such as the LM36 or equivalent, and returns a 32-bit floating point value in either a voltage or temperature format. Use InstaCal to select the sensor type (TMP36 or equivalent) and the sensor input channel to connect the sensor. Wiring configuration You can connect a TMP36 (or equivalent) semiconductor sensor to the OM-USB-5203 using a single-ended configuration, as shown in Figure 10. The OM-USB-5203 also provides +5V and GND pins for powering the sensor. Figure 10. Semiconductor sensor measurement configuration 18 OM-USB-5203 User's Guide Sensor Connections The software outputs the measurement data as a 32-bit floating point value in either voltage or temperature. Digital I/O connections You can connect up to eight digital I/O lines to the screw terminals labeled DIO0 to DIO7. All digital I/O lines are pulled up to +5V with a 47 kΩ resistor (default). You can request the factory to configure the resistor for pull-down to ground if desired. You can configure each digital bit for either input or output. Caution! If a digital bit is set up as an alarm, the bit will be configured for output on power-up, and assume the state defined by the alarm configuration. When you configure the digital bits for input, you can use the OM-USB-5203 digital I/O terminals to detect the state of any TTL-level input. Refer to the schematic shown in Figure 11. If you set the switch to the +5V input, DIO0 reads TRUE (1). If you move the switch to GND, DIO0 reads FALSE (0). Figure 11. Schematic showing switch detection by digital channel DIO0 Caution! All ground pins on the OM-USB-5203 (pins 9, 19, 28, 38) are common and are isolated from earth ground. If a connection is made to earth ground when using digital I/O and conductive thermocouples, the thermocouples are no longer isolated. In this case, thermocouples must not be connected to any conductive surfaces that may be referenced to earth ground. For general information regarding digital signal connections and digital I/O techniques, refer to the Guide to Signal Connections (available on our web site at http://www.omega.com/manuals/manualpdf/M4830.pdf). Configuring the DIO channels to generate alarms The OM-USB-5203 features eight independent temperature alarms. All alarm options are software configurable. When a digital bit is configured as an alarm, that bit will be configured as an output on the next power cycle and assume the state defined by the alarm configuration. Each alarm controls an associated digital I/O channel as an alarm output. The input to each alarm is one of the temperature input channels. You set up the temperature conditions to activate an alarm, and the output state of the channel (active high or low) when activated. When an alarm is activated, its associated DIO channel is driven to the output state specified. The alarm configurations are stored in non-volatile memory and are loaded on power up. The temperature alarms function both in data logging mode and while attached to the USB port on a computer. 19 Chapter 4 Functional Details Thermocouple measurements A thermocouple consists of two dissimilar metals that are joined together at one end. When the junction of the metals is heated or cooled, a voltage is produced that correlates to temperature. The OM-USB-5203 hardware level-shifts the thermocouple’s output voltage into the A/D’s common mode input range by applying +2.5 V to the thermocouple’s low side at the C#L input. Always connect thermocouple sensors to the OM-USB-5203 in a floating fashion. Do not attempt to connect the thermocouple low side C#L to GND or to a ground referencing resistor. Cold junction compensation (CJC) When you connect the thermocouple sensor leads to the sensor input channel, the dissimilar metals at the OMUSB-5203 terminal blocks produce an additional thermocouple junction. This junction creates a small voltage error term which must be removed from the overall sensor measurement using a cold junction compensation technique. The measured voltage includes both the thermocouple voltage and the cold junction voltage. To compensate for the additional cold junction voltage, the OM-USB-5203 subtracts the cold junction voltage from the thermocouple voltage. The OM-USB-5203 has two high-resolution temperature sensors that are integrated into the design of the OMUSB-5203. One sensor is located on the right side of the package, and one sensor is located at the left side. The CJC sensors measure the average temperature at the terminal blocks so that the cold junction voltage can be calculated. A software algorithm automatically corrects for the additional thermocouples created at the terminal blocks by subtracting the calculated cold junction voltage from the analog input's thermocouple voltage measurement. Increasing the thermocouple length If you need to increase the length of your thermocouple, use the same type of thermocouple wires to minimize the error introduced by thermal EMFs. Data linearization After the CJC correction is performed on the measurement data, an on-board microcontroller automatically linearizes the thermocouple measurement data using National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) linearization coefficients for the selected thermocouple type. The measurement data is then output as a 32-bit floating point value in the configured format (voltage or temperature). Open-thermocouple detection (OTD) The OM-USB-5203 is equipped with an open-thermocouple detection for each analog input channel. With OTD, any open-circuit or short-circuit condition at the thermocouple sensor is detected by the software. An open channel is detected by driving the input voltage to a negative value outside the range of any thermocouple output. The software recognizes this as an invalid reading and flags the appropriate channel. The software continues to sample all channels when OTD is detected. Input leakage current With open-thermocouple detection enabled, 105 nA (max.) of input leakage current is injected into the thermocouple. This current can cause an error voltage to develop across the lead resistance of the thermocouple that is indistinguishable from the thermocouple voltage you are measuring. You can estimate this error voltage with the following formula: error voltage = resistance of the thermocouple x 105 nA 20 OM-USB-5203 User's Guide Functional Details To reduce the error, reduce the length of the thermocouple to lower its resistance, or lower the AWG of the wire by using a wire with a larger diameter. With open-thermocouple detection disabled, 30 nA (max) of input leakage current is injected into the thermocouple. RTD and thermistor measurements RTDs and thermistors are resistive devices that require an excitation current to produce a voltage drop that can be measured differentially across the sensor. The OM-USB-5203 measures the sensor resistance by forcing a known excitation current through the sensor and then measuring (differentially) the voltage across the sensor to determine its resistance. After the voltage measurement is made, the resistance of the RTD is calculated using Ohms law – the sensor resistance is calculated by dividing the measured voltage by the current excitation level (±Ix) source. The value of the ±Ix source is stored in local memory. Once the resistance value is calculated, the value is linearized in order to convert it to a temperature value. The measurement is returned by software as a 32-bit floating point value in a voltage, resistance or temperature format. Data linearization An on-board microcontroller automatically performs linearization on RTD and thermistor measurements. RTD measurements are linearized using a Callendar-Van Dusen coefficients algorithm (you select DIN, SAMA, or ITS-90). Thermistor measurements are linearized using a Steinhart-Hart linearization algorithm (you supply the coefficients from the sensor manufacturer's data sheet). External components The OM-USB-5203 has the following external components, as shown in Figure 12. Screw terminals USB connector LED CompactFlash slot with memory card Figure 12. OM-USB-5203 component locations 21 OM-USB-5203 User's Guide Functional Details Screw terminals The device's four banks of screw terminals are for connecting temperature sensors and digital I/O lines. These terminals also provide ground and power output connections. Refer to the "Sensor Connections" chapter for screw terminal descriptions. USB connector When not logging data, connect the USB cable to a USB port on your computer or to an external USB hub that is connected to your computer. When connected to an active USB bus, the device's USB connector provides +5 V power and communication. The voltage supplied through the USB connector is system-dependent, and may be less than 5 V. No external power supply is required. Due to processing limitations, you cannot log data when the device is attached to an active USB bus. For data logging operations, connect the device's USB connector to the external power supply. LED The LED uses up to 5 mA of current. The function of the LED varies according to whether the OM-USB-5203 is connected to an active USB port, or when the device is logging data and connected to the external power supply. The table below lists the function of the LED when the device is connected to an active USB port and not logging data. LED function when the OM-USB-5203 is connected to an active USB port LED Illumination Indication Steady green The OM-USB-5203 is connected to a computer or external USB hub. Blinks several times Initial communication is established between the OM-USB-5203 and the computer. Blinks continuously Off Data is being transferred. Upon connection, the LED should flash a few times and then remain lit (indicates a successful installation). The OM-USB-5203 is not connected to an active USB port. The table below lists the function of the LED when the device is connected to the external supply and is logging data. The function of the LED varies according to the selected logging mode. LED function when the OM-USB-5203 is logging data Logging mode LED Illumination Indication Logging off The LED is off. Start Logging on Power Up The LED turns on when external power is connected, then blinks each time data is captured. The OM-USB-5203 is not logging data, and/or the device is not powered Start Logging at Specified Time The LED is off – blinks on once per second until the specified date/time to start logging is reached. At that time, the LED turns on – blinks off each time data is captured. Start Logging on Button Any logging mode The LED stays off until the data logging button is pressed and held for approximately 1 second. At that time, the LED turns on and blinks each time data is captured. Blinks rapidly (250 ms period) and continuously. 22 Blinks when logging data. Blinks when logging data. Blinks on once per second until specified data/time to log data occurs. Then it turns on and blinks each time data is captured. The memory card is full. The memory card was removed during logging. Insert the memory card again to stop the device blinking. OM-USB-5203 User's Guide Functional Details CompactFlash® memory card slot The CompactFlash slot accepts standard memory cards. A 512 MB memory card is shipped with the device. For extensive data logging, you can insert a higher capacity card of up to 2 GB. You must format the memory card before logging data for the first time. Data logging button The data logging button is used to end a data logging session. The data logging button is also used to start recording data when the logging mode is set in InstaCal to Start Logging on Button. To begin recording data, press and hold the button until the LED begins to blink. The first sample is taken one second after the LED illuminates. When you first power on the OM-USB-5203, wait at least five seconds before pressing the data logging button. To achieve rated accuracy, allow the OM-USB-5203 to warm up for 30 minutes before logging data. To stop recording data, press and hold the button again until the LED is off. Caution! To prevent loss of data, always use the button to stop logging. Make sure the data is written to the memory card before you disconnect the device from the power source. The device caches log data in volatile memory prior to writing to the memory card. Pressing the data logging button has no effect when the OM-USB-5203 is connected to an active USB port and not logging data. External power required for data logging Due to processing limitations, data logging is not allowed when the OM-USB-5203 is attached to an active USB bus. The OM-USB-5203 must be connected to the standalone power supply to perform data logging. External power supply The external power supply is used to power the OM-USB-5203 during data logging operations. This power supply is a 2.5 W USB power adapter. Disconnecting the OM-USB-5203 from the computer You don't need to shut down your computer to disconnect the OM-USB-5203. Refer to the instructions below when disconnecting the OM-USB-5203 from your computer's USB port. When running Windows XP, use the Unplug or Eject icon on the computer's taskbar to safely stop the OMUSB-5203 before you unplug the device. To do this, right-click on the icon, select the OM-USB-5203 and click Stop. Windows will notify you when it is safe to disconnect the device from your computer. When running Windows 2000, the Unplug or Eject icon does not appear in the taskbar when the OM-USB-5203 is connected to the USB port. Do not disconnect the OM-USB-5203 from the computer when the device's LED is flashing (transferring data), or data may be lost. When you disconnect the device, an Unsafe Removal of Device warning may appear. However, no data is lost on the device when you remove the OM-USB-5203 when the LED is steady green. This information applies to all OM-USB-5203 devices, regardless of the firmware version installed. Transferring binary data after a logging session Data is stored on the memory card in binary files. After logging measurements, you can transfer the files to your computer by reconnecting the OM-USB-5203 to a USB port on your computer or by removing the CompactFlash card from the OM-USB-5203 and using a card reader connected to your computer. Note that when installed with firmware version 3 and later the OM-USB-5203 appears as a Mass Storage Device when connected to a USB port on your computer, so you can copy files using Windows Explorer. 23 OM-USB-5203 User's Guide Functional Details Converting binary data after a logging session If your OM-USB-5203 is connected to a USB port on your computer, you can use InstaCal or TracerDAQ to convert the files on the CompactFlash card to .CSV format for use in Microsoft Excel files, or to .TXT format for use in other applications. If you transferred binary files to your computer hard drive or removed the CompactFlash card from your OMUSB-5203 and are using a card reader connected to your computer, use TracerDAQ to import the files and save them as .CSV or.TXT format. InstaCal can only convert files when the CompactFlash card is in a OM-USB5203 connected to your computer. 24 Chapter 5 Specifications All specifications are subject to change without notice.

The analog input channels are therefore configured in four channel pairs with CH0/CH1 sensor inputs, CH2/CH3 sensor inputs, CH4/CH5 sensor inputs, and CH6/CH7 sensor inputs paired together. This "channel-pairing" requires the analog input channel pairs be configured to monitor the same category of temperature sensor. Mixing different sensor types of the same category (such as a type J thermocouple on channel 0 and a type T thermocouple on channel 1) is valid. Channel configuration information is stored in the EEPROM of the isolated microcontroller by the firmware whenever any item is modified. Modification is performed by commands issued over USB from an external application, and the configuration is made non-volatile through the use of the EEPROM. The factory default configuration is Disabled. The Disabled mode will disconnect the analog inputs from the terminal blocks and internally ground all of the A/D inputs. This mode also disables each of the current excitation sources. Compatible sensors Table 3.

These specs are for one year, or 3000 operating hours, whichever comes first, and for operation of the device between 15 °C and 35 °C. For measurements outside this range, add ±0.5 degree to the maximum error shown. There are CJC sensors on each side of the module. The accuracy listed above assumes the screw terminals are at the same temperature as the CJC sensor. Errors shown do not include inherent thermocouple error. Please contact your thermocouple supplier for details on the actual thermocouple error. Thermocouples must be connected to the device such that they are floating with respect to GND (pins 9, 19, 28, 38). The device GND pins are isolated from earth ground, so connecting thermocouple sensors to voltages referenced to earth ground is permissible as long as the isolation between the GND pins and earth ground is maintained. When thermocouples are attached to conductive surfaces, the voltage differential between multiple thermocouples must remain within ±1.4 V. For best results we recommend the use of insulated or ungrounded thermocouples when possible. Semiconductor sensor measurement accuracy Table 5.

The input to each alarm may be any of the analog temperature input channels. When an alarm is enabled, its associated I/O line is set to output (after the device is reset) and driven to the appropriate state determined by the alarm options and input temperature. The alarm configurations are stored in non-volatile memory and are loaded at power on. Alarms will function both in data logging mode and while attached to USB. Disabled, digital I/O line may be used for normal operation Enabled, active high output (digital I/O line goes high when alarm conditions met) Enabled, active low output (digital I/O line goes low when alarm conditions met) 1 second Memory Table 12.

Data logging specifications Standalone power supply USB power adapter (part number OM-USB-Adapter): 2.5 Watt USB adapter with interchangeable plugs (includes plug for USA) Memory card type CompactFlash Memory card host access USB Mass Storage Device (MSD) Log file format binary Supplied memory card 512 MB CFCard: 512 MB Compact Flash Card for Omega Engineering dataloggers File systems supported FAT16, FAT32 The device only creates 8.3 file names in the root subdirectory. Logging rate Min 1 second between entries, max 232 seconds, 1 second granularity Data items logged Logging start methods Logging stop methods Logging status indication Timestamp, temperature or raw reading from selected channels, state of DIO lines, CJC sensor readings Configurable: Start Logging on Power Up – Logging begins 5 seconds after power on to allow hardware to settle. Start Logging on Button – Device is idle on power on, press and hold button until LED comes on to begin logging. The first sample will be taken 1 second after LED comes on unless less than 5 seconds have elapsed since power on. Start Logging at Specified Time – Device is idle until the real time clock indicates the time is equal to or greater than the specified time, at which time the LED will come on. The first sample will be taken 1 second after LED comes on unless less than 5 seconds have elapsed since power on. Note: Data logging is not allowed when the device is attached to an active USB bus due to processing limitations. The device must be connected to the standalone power supply to perform data logging. Stop on button press – To stop logging, press and hold button until LED turns off. Note: The device caches log data in volatile memory prior to writing to memory card. When logging, always use the button to stop logging and ensure data is written to memory card prior to removing power. The LED operations when connected to the AC adapter power supply are different than when connected to USB: Logging modes: Logging Off mode: the LED is off (disabled). Start Logging on Power Up mode: the LED is on, with a momentary off flash every time data is captured. Start Logging on Button mode: the LED is initially off. When the button is pressed and held for approximately 1 second the LED will turn on and act the same as Start Logging on Power Up mode. Start Logging at Specified Time mode: the LED is off, with a momentary on flash every second until the specified date/time is reached. At that time, the LED will turn on and act the same as Start Logging on Power Up mode. Other indication: To stop logging and store the remaining data to memory card, press and hold the button until the LED turns off. It is then safe to remove the memory card. If the memory card becomes full the LED will blink rapidly (250 ms period). If the memory card is removed while logging is in progress the LED will blink rapidly (250 ms period). Inserting a memory card will stop the blinking. 31 OM-USB-5203 User's Guide Specifications Real time clock Table 15.
