Enter the desired overload This can be in 0 1t increments E g 9 4 4 10 2 Overload Sensitivity The overload sensitivity is controlled by a slider that changes how sensitive the overload is to short overloads caused by signal noise Moving the slider to the right will make it less sensitive so that it will effectively take longer to respond to a real overload event Moving it to the left will make the logger respond quicker to real overloads but also make it more susceptible spurious trips You should set this slider as far to the left as possible without the overload tripping during normal operation A text warning will display if this is set too high 4 10 3 Invert Output The fault output on the Liftlog is a pair of normally closed contacts Checking the lt Output N O gt box will change the normally closed fault output to normally open You may need to do this e f there is an interposing relay between the Liftlog and the up contactor e You want the Liftlog to operate ina fail functional rather than a fail safe mode e You are using the Liftlog for slack rope detection CASWA Pty Ltd 2015 25 Page 4 11 Uploading Data To upload the logged data from the device to your computer return to the General screen and click on the lt Upload gt button This will bring up a dialog box asking where to save the data The program defaults to your Documents folder Genera ID unconfigu
