Quick Start
DICKSON ES120
PRO LOGGER OPERATION
Quick Start
• Install the DicksonWare Software (version 6.0 or later). Press the “Features” button for
features and detailed operation instructions (Help).
• Connect the cable (supplied with the software) to the logger and to a working serial port
on your computer. If the port is not COM2, refer to “Setting up your Computer’s Serial
Port” in the “Getting Started” chapter in the DicksonWare
Help.
• Connect your 0-5 VDC and/or 0-20 mA transmitter(s) using the channel polarity indicated
on front label.
• Ensure current dip switch settings.
• Press the “Setup” button and then press the “Clear” button.
• Select the Channels tab on the Setup screen. Press the Setup button next to the desired
channel. Then press the adjust button. Enter transmitter output range: Min, Max, and
Units. Click Close. Repeat for a second transmitter.
• The logger is now sampling and ready for use. The default sample interval is 1 minute.
Verify that the Indicator light is flashing every 10 seconds.
NOTE: To conserve battery life when storing unit, press the “Setup” button and select “Stop
When Full.”
Indicator & Troubleshooting
• There is a red indicator located on the front lower right of the unit. This indicator will flash
every 10 seconds when the unit is sampling and operating properly. If the indicator is not
flashing, please verify the following:
- The logger memory may be full; download the data and Clear Memory.
- Sampling may not be started; download the data and Clear Memory.
- Condensation may have formed on unit. Let it sit in a warm dry environment for
24 hrs. Download the data, clear memory, and try again.
• The battery may require replacement; download the data and check the Battery Level
Monitor on the Samples tab of the Setup screen. If unable to communicate, the battery
voltage may already be low.
• Verify transmitter is functioning properly. Try another transmitter. Verify wiring polarity and
wire connection is secure. Verify correct switch settings.
• These loggers are designed for use in a non-condensing environment. If a logger is going to
be used in a condensing environment, try placing the unit in a small sealed plastic bag to
protect it from condensation.
• If the logger appears to be malfunctioning, try the following: open the unit by removing
the screw in the back of the case. Press the small black Reset button located on the circuit
board inside. Try the logger operation again. NOTE: Pressing the Reset button will stop data
logging. Download the data and Clear memory to start logging again.

Voltage/Current Setup
• To set-up the ES120 for your specific transmitter, you might need to change some of the
Dip Switches. The Dip Switches are located on the circuit board inside the case. To open the
case, remove the screw in the back. Use a pen or small screw driver to flip the switches.
• After changing the dip switch settings, the logger must be cleared in DicksonWare99
software in order for the changes to take effect.

Transmitter/Sensor
A powered transmitter is required to operate the ES120. Any powered transmitter with a
4-20mA, 0-20mA, 0-5Vdc, or 1-5Vdc output signal may be used. To connect a transmitter
to the logger, locate the terminal block on the side of the logger. Connect the positive wire
of the transmitter to the positive terminal and the negative wire of the transmitter to the
negative terminal of the appropriate channel. Tighten screws in terminal block to hold in
transmitter wires. Repeat steps with second transmitter.

Battery Replacement
The battery will operate the logger for approximately 5 years at room temperatures. Operation
of the logger at the temperature extremes, in Realtime mode for prolonged periods, or sample
intervals of less than a minute, will significantly reduce battery life. Please contact the factory
if the battery requires replacement. The Battery Level Monitor on the Setup screen displays the
battery voltage and a Low Battery Warning when replacement is needed.
