| The ML-300 is an expanded feature model of the ModuLoggerT and ModuLogger "Mini" portable data logging system. The ML-300 consists of a standard ModuLogger or ModuLogger "Mini" mounted into a rugged NEMA 4x enclosure with any number of optional balance of system components. With the flexibility packaging, the ML-300 lends itself well to End Users as well as System Integrators that require flexibility in their data collection and alarming platform, but don't have the time or budget to design and develop a system from scratch. "Off the shelf" optional features can be integrated into the ML-300 by Logic Beach including:
Housed in a rugged, lockable, NEMA 4X enclosure, the ML-300 is designed for portable, plant floor, and long-term outdoor remote data collection applications. A large wiring compartment is provided for I/O wiring and routing to connections. Wiring access holes are provided in the base with gland type, liquid tight fittings. Wall mounting tabs and full installation and operation instructions are included. The ML-300 can be ordered in configurations ranging from simple to full featured. The simplest system would merely consist of a standard ModuLogger mounted into the enclosure. More complex systems might incorporate all of the above noted optional features and additional sensors as specified by the application. |
| A typical ready-to-deploy ML-300 system includes a powerful ModuLoggerT or ModuLoggerT "Mini" Portable Data Logger System Base and an assortment of User specified standard ModuLogger Interface Modules layers which can add additional channel I/O, modem capability, PCMCIA transportable memory cards and more. The Logic Beach HyperWareT WindowsT based software is used for configuration of the logger, data downloads, real-time trending of data as well as data display and data file conversion. Please refer to the data sheets for the desired data logging system. |
| A variety of "off-the-shelf" option components are available for inclusion into the ML-300. Following is a listing of the standard options. Contact the factory for help with sytem configuration. |
Rechargeable Batteries
The batteries are sealed, allowing for omnidirectional orientation of the ML-300. The batteries are rechargeable and can be recharged from various sources ranging from the Logic Beach 120Vac gel-cell charger, to photovoltaic panels and/or wind power via an integral ML-300 charge controller option or an external source and charge controller. These batteries are typically utilized to provide power for various data logging applications including: data logger, sensors, cell phone, and RF modem.
| Option Specifier | Option Description |
| SRB-1 | Single 12Vdc, 12AH (25 deg C, 20 hour discharge rate) sealed "gel-cell" type battery. Battery is mounted under hinged front aluminum panel which contains terminal strips for wiring of sensors and other components. Battery and associated wiring is protected via integral panel mount, easy access fuse and holder. [ Photo]. Two batteries may be ordered to provide 24 AH @ 12 VDC or 12 AH @ 24 VDC. Specify voltage required. |
| CHGR-1 | Door mounted 6A charge controller for regulation of battery charging current from an external source such as photovoltaics and/or wind. |
| CHGR-12500A | Grid powered battery charger. 120Vac powered charger for 12Vdc sealed gel-cells. 500mA max charging current. Can recharge a single 12Vdc, 12AH sealed battery (above) in apx 24 hours. Supplied as stand-alone unit with cord and plug for use in recharging batteries in an indoor or protected environment. [ Photo ] |
| CHGR-12/24 | Grid powered charger. 120 VAC powered charger for 12 or 24 VDC sealed gel-cells. 12 VDC @ 2A, 24 VDC @ 1A. Specify desired voltage. |
| NOTE: Batteries add considerable weight to the ML-300. Appropriate handling and mounting considerations should be taken. AH capacities are based on 20 hour discharge rates at controlled temperature (20C). In most applications, it is prudent to derate this value. Battery performance curves are available by contacting Logic Beach. | |
Sensor Excitation Power Supply Module
For applications requiring sensor or loop power/excitation greater than the ModuLogger's internal 5VDC source, the door-mounted PSM-2 can provide 5, 10, 15, or 24VDC excitation voltages stepped up from the ModuLogger system batteries (6 D-cells) or from the rechargeable batteries.

Cellular Telephone Communications
The ML-300 portable data logging system can be equipped with an optional Cellular Phone interface allowing turn-key wireless cellular telephone communication. The system uses the standard nationwide analog cellular telephone network and allows for all of the serial communication functionality offered via the other standard serial communication methods for the ML-300 system (RS-232, Ethernet, wire modem, etc.)
The turn-key ML-300 Cellular Phone System is ready to deploy in applications where phone lines are difficult to access or expensive to install. The cell phone equipped ML-300 system is ready to receive incoming calls from a PC as well as provide call-out capability.
Cell Phone Options are available for the ML-300 System:
CP-1M - Continuous Power Cell Phone - the cellular components (and optionally the other components in the ML-300) are powered by the utility grid or a power source external to the ML-300 (such as a vehicle battery) and have continuous power.
Continuous Power Cell Phone
The continuous power option utilizes 120Vac utility grid power or some other unlimited power source to power the cellular phone components. With this system, the cellular phone and associated circuitry is continually powered and is always available for communication. In a utility grid-powered application, an external 120Vac/240Vac power supply is utilized to provide a nominal 12Vdc supply to the ML-300 and the associated cellular phone components.
Part Number Description CP-2 Cellular Telephone Communications The ML-300 portable data logging system can be equipped with an optional CP-2 Digital Cellular Phone interface allowing turn-key wireless cellular telephone communication. The system uses the standard nationwide CDMA cellular telephone network and also allows for all of the serial communication functionality offered via the other standard serial communication methods for the ML-300 system (RS-232, Ethernet, wire modem, etc.)
The turn-key ML-300 Cellular Phone System is ready to deploy in applications where phone lines are difficult to access or expensive to install. The cell phone equipped ML-300 system is ready to receive incoming calls from a PC as well as provide call-out capability.
ANT-1 Antenna, 3dB omni-directional; standard installation is mounted to side of the the ML-300 enclosure. Pre-wired to the cell phone transceiver. [ Photo ] ANT-2 Antenna, 0dB with 10' cable. Magnetic base mount with apx 4" mast length. Includes cable end mini-UHF connector to fasten directly to CP-1 transceiver. Yagi-1 Antenna, 9dB Yagi pole mount directional antenna. Requires one of the cables below. Yagi-Cable-5' Cable for connecting Yagi-1 antenna to CP-1 transceiver. 5 foot length. Yagi-Cable-10' Cable for connecting Yagi-1 antenna to CP-1 transceiver. 10 foot length. Yagi-Cable-20' Cable for connecting Yagi-1 antenna to CP-1 transceiver. 20 foot length. CP-HS1 Handset. Required for initial activation / programming of the CP-1 within the Customer's cellular service area. Handset is not required for continued use of the CP-1 option... just for initial on-site activation. Handset does allow for normal voice communication of the CP-1 transceiver. Handset plugs into the transceiver via a mating jack. NOTE: It is highly recommended that Customers confirm cellular service (and pager service if the PW/CPPM is desired) in the desired deployment area before ordering any ML-300 Cellular Phone Communication option.
