withdraw the card from the slot.
When inserting a new Analogue Card, it is important to place it in the correct slot having set the ID (1, 2, 3

Switch the power for the Datalogger back on. The Datalogger will now scan for internal cards and external
modules. A number of screenshots will be seen in rapid succession as each channel is scanned. A

Overview (Figure 6). This is accessed by selecting the ‘Engineering’ function on key 9 on the front keypad
and typing in the passcode 5502.
