Data Loggers, Battery Life and Power Loss

Data logging is often a process that spans hours, weeks or even months at a time.

Commonly, applications are in remote locations or require loggers to be deployed in

numbers over vast distances or large facilities. Performance is crucial, as regulations often

require records of temperature changes or other variables that could indicate a problem,

spoilage, machinery failure, or countless other events. To summarize, data logging often

requires reliable unmanned operation.

Battery Life and Memory

Many data loggers are battery powered, with some also having an option for external power as well. They are designed for a long shelf life, although battery life is affected by a number of factors, including the specific data logger model, environment in which it is stored or used, and the recording interval rate selected by the user. Long battery life is one of the primary features that dictate the user's choice in data logger selection. MadgeTech offers many data logger models with batteries that can last up to ten years.

As with any battery powered device, a battery powered data logger is susceptible to battery exhaustion. With the absence of an external power supply, recording capabilities will cease. For this reason, all MadgeTech data loggers are manufactured with a non-volatile memory for their data storage. This means that the valuable data recorded prior to battery exhaustion will be safely retained and available for the user upon device retrieval.

Network and Power Loss

Wireless data loggers are ideal for continuously monitoring facilities, big and small. With MadgeTech wireless data loggers, transceivers are used to transmit data from multiple locations back to a central PC and the MadgeTech Cloud. This allows user to monitor data in real time as it happens, from wherever they are, with an internet enabled device.
