A. NEW FIRMWARE UPDATING
Check if new software or rmware is available on www.arexx. com.
You can easily download the new rmware and ash it into the BS-1200.
Download the rmware and unzip this package to some directory
- Please connect the BS1200 to the pc by usb.
- Stop the temperaturemessenger service and the temperature
service before continuing {ctrl-alt-del} (close all temperaturelogger
programs, open windows task manager, check the ‘show processes
from all users’, and end process of temperaturemessengerserver.exe
and temperatureserver.exe).
- run ash.bat
- power off and on the BS1200 after ashing
- Data in the BS1200 (settings and measurement data) should retain
during ash.
If ashing would fail(usually because the temperature logger services are
still running), switch off and on the BS1200 and retry.
B. Battery
The BS1200 has a 3V Li CR2032 coin cell battery for powering the real time
clock and the settings memory during power down. We advise to replace
the battery every 3 years. Actual lifetime of the battery depends on
operating temperature, quality of the battery and the period of time it stays
powered off. When the BS1200 is powered on continuously, then a battery
life of over 10-15 years can be expected.
Fig.4. The coin battery cell is located at the centre of the circuit board of the BS1000.
Unlike the BS510, the BS1200 starts logging as soon as the BS1200 is po-
wered on. No further requirements are necessary. The only exception is the
rst time use or when the coin battery was removed: Then the clock must
be set, before logging can start. This can be done via the USB port, connec-
ted to the temperature logger software, or by a remote time server via the
network.
