The EBI 20-IF is a dedicated communication interface designed for the programming and data retrieval of all ebro® EBI 20 series data loggers. This essential hardware component acts as the bridge between the portable data loggers and a PC, enabling users to configure measurement parameters and download recorded history for comprehensive analysis and archiving.
The EBI 20-IF Interface is a compact, USB-powered station that allows for seamless communication with EBI 20-T1, EBI 20-TE1, and EBI 20-TH1 loggers. It utilizes an infrared (optical) sensor to transfer data, ensuring a reliable connection without the need for physical ports on the loggers, which helps maintain their waterproof integrity. The interface connects directly to a computer via a USB 2.0 cable and is automatically recognized by the Winlog.basic, Winlog.light, or Winlog.pro software suites. Its simple "plug-and-play" design makes it an indispensable tool for quality managers and laboratory technicians who require frequent data offloading and logger recalibration in accordance with HACCP and ISO standards.
Advantages
- Universal Compatibility: Designed to work with the entire EBI 20 product family, including temperature and humidity variants.
- High-Speed Data Transfer: Facilitates the rapid download of up to 40,000 data points from the logger to the PC software.
- Easy Installation: USB-powered device that requires no external power supply, making it portable and easy to set up in any workstation.
- Optical Connection: Uses infrared communication to prevent wear and tear on connection pins and preserve the logger's IP protection rating.
- Robust Design: Built to withstand daily use in industrial environments and laboratory settings.
Instructions for use
Connect the EBI 20-IF to a PC using the provided USB cable. Ensure that the Winlog software is installed and running. Preparation: Place the EBI 20 series data logger into the interface cradle, ensuring the display is facing forward and the optical sensors are aligned. Note: Once the logger is detected by the software, you can proceed to "Program Device" to set intervals and alarms, or "Read Device" to download recorded data. The interface provides visual feedback via LED to indicate successful communication. Always ensure the optical window on the back of the logger is clean before placement in the interface.
