Should a preset pulling force limit be reached while pulling in the rope the winch stops
automatically. This will be indicated on the display of the data logger as long as the pulling
force is above the preset limit. After removal of the reason for reaching the limit, the pulling
job can be continued. No input changes are necessary on the data logger to continue the
pulling work.

Attention !
When finishing work, switch off the data logger!

2.8 Transferring protocol files to a PC

All pulling job protocol files can be stored on a PC for further processing or archiving. Every
PC with a USB port can be used for this purpose. The protocol files on the USB drive are
saved as CSV files, which can be copied onto a PC where they can be stored or deleted.
These CSV files contain all measurement data which can be imported to spreadsheets for
further processing.
