The OM-CP-EVENT101A is part of a new series of low cost, state-of-the-art data logging devices. The OM-CP-EVENT101A offers a 10 year battery life, 4 Hz reading rate, a multiple start/stop function, ultra-high speed download capability, 406,323 reading storage capacity, optional memory wrap, battery life indicator, optional password protection and more.

The OM-CP-EVENT101A senses input transitions or contact closures from external sources such as transducers or pulse state initiators (gas, water and electric meters) and record the time that a particular event has occurred. Once activated, the data logger senses and records transition or state changes at the input. Its realtime clock ensures that all data is time and date stamped. This is ideal for recording events. The storage medium is non-volatile solid state memory, providing maximum data security even if the battery becomes discharged. The small size of these devices allows them to fit almost anywhere. Data retrieval is simple. Simply plug it into an available USB port and our user-friendly software does the rest. 

The software converts a PC into a real-time strip chart recorder. Data can be printed in graphical and tabular format or exported to a text or Microsoft Excel® file. The storage medium is non-volatile solid state memory, providing maximum data security even if the battery becomes discharged. The OM-CP-EVENT101A was designed with our customers in mind. There are free firmware upgrades for the life of the product so that data loggers already deployed in the field can grow with new technological developments. Units do not need to be returned to the factory for upgrades. The user can do this automatically from any PC.
