CHAPTER 1 General Description
1.1 Overview
The GL240 with color monitor is a compact, lightweight data logger.
The GL240 can save the high-capacity measurement data directly in the internal memory or SD memory
card.
In addition, the setting, measuring and data capturing can be performed in online by connecting to the
computer with the USB cable.
1.2 Features
Input
• Adoption of an M3 screw type terminal facilitates wiring.
• The GL240 enables settings to be made using dedicated keys and interactive menus, using just one
hand.
Display
• With the GL240’s high-resolution 4.3-inch TFT color liquid crystal display, you can confirm the waveforms
of measured data and each channel’s settings at a glance.
• Easy operation is achieved through a straightforward menu structure and key allocation which resembles
mobile phones.
Data Capture
• The high-capacity measurement data can be saved directly in the internal memory or SD memory card.
• Because the SD memory card is used as an external memory, you can measure a long period of time with
peace of mind while data backup.
* When the optional wireless LAN unit is installed, the SD memory card cannot be inserted into the SD
CARD2 slot.
• Because disk image can be used for the internal memory, multiple data can be saved.
• The new ring memory capture function maintains latest data even after capturing for a long term. (You
need to set how long you want to keep data.)
• For voltage, temperature and humidity measurements, data can be captured at sampling rates of up to
10 ms per channel by using fewer measuring channels. (Temperature measurement can be done at
sampling rates of 100 ms and higher.)
• The GL240 is equipped with the relay recording function, and 2GByte or more data can be saved by
switching the to the other file without data missing. (When the capacity of one file reaches 2GByte, the file
is switched.)
• The application software allows you to control multiple GL240 units from a single computer to easily
perform multi-channel measurements.
• The USB drive mode function enables the internal memory and SD memory card to be recognized as an
external drive by the PC.
(Connect the GL240 to the PC and turn on the GL240 power while holding down the [START] key.)
• Captured data can be read from the application software to files and displayed for processing.
• When optional wireless LAN unit is installed, the data capture can be performed remotely by controlling
the GL100-WL.

90˚
Do not block the air vent on the GL240, as this will cause malfunctioning.
Measurement accuracy may not be satisfactory if the system is used in a condition other than described
above.
To prevent possible toppling, use both of the stands of the GL240 when you place it inclined.
Use the GL240 with both of the two stands open as shown in the figure above.
1-4
CHAPTER 1 General Description
• Do not block the air vents. Always provide a space of at least 30 cm on all sides of the GL240.
• For stabilized temperature measurement, allow the GL240 to warm up for at least 30 minutes after turning
it on.
• Exposure of the input terminals to direct drafts, direct sunlight, or abrupt changes in temperature may
impair the equilibrium of the input parts and result in measurement errors. To measure temperature in
such an environment, take appropriate countermeasures such as changing the installation site of the
GL240.
• To conduct measurement in noisy environments, connect the GL240’s GND terminal to ground (Refer to
“2.15 Noise Countermeasures”.).
• If measured values fluctuate due to noise, set to a slower sampling speed (Refer to “(2) DATA setting” in “3.4
Setting Menus”.).
If the screen saver function is used, it will operate and clear the screen if no operations are performed
during the preset time. If the screen saver operates, press any key to restore the display.
• Condensation may form on the LCD screen if the GL240 is moved from a cold to a warm location. If this
occurs, wait until the LCD screen warms up to room temperature.
• The LCD screen is manufactured to extremely high precision. Black dots may appear, or red, blue, and
green dots may not disappear. Likewise, streaks may appear when viewed from certain angles. These
phenomena are due to the LCD screen construction, and are not signs of a fault.

CHAPTER 2 Checks and Preparation
• GL240 is equipped with a temperature monitor function which starts automatic charging as soon as
it is cooled down. Therefore, depending on the internal temperature, charging may not be performed
immediately.
• When charging is attempted while the power is ON, charging may not be performed immediately even if
the temperature environment conforms to the specification. In such a case, set the Screen Saver settings
to ON or perform charging while the power is OFF.
• During data capture, when the battery capacity is lower, the file is closed automatically.
• When using with the AC adapter, the GL240 is automatically battery-powered in case of power outage.
• During the power is supplied directly from the DC power without using the AC adapter, when the DC

CHAPTER 2 Checks and Preparation
• Do not apply radio-frequency signals with high voltage (50 KHz or above).
• Be sure to use only the AC adapter provided as a standard accessory. The rated power supply range for
the adapter is 100 to 240 VAC, and the rated frequency is 50/60 Hz. Do not use any other voltages.
• Do not input the voltage that is exceeding the specification of this device.
· If a voltage exceeding the specified value is input, the semiconductor relay in the input section will be
damaged. Never input a voltage exceeding the specified value even for a moment. It will cause the fire.
· Have an enough margin from the specification of withstanding voltage when using this device, it have to
consider a noise and change of the measurement voltage.
· Confirm this device is not broken before the input cable is connected to the input terminal.
· Please take care of the static electricity when the connecting the input cables or the thermocouples.
· Do not touch the tip of thermocouples with bare hand after the thermocouples are connected to the
terminal of this device when the tip of thermocouples is not insulated.
The static electricity of a human body will cause damage to this device.
· Do not put the tip of thermocouples to the object which is containing the static electricity when the tip of
thermocouples is not insulated. The static electricity of object will cause damage to this device.
· Do not put the tip of thermocouples to the object which is containing the leaked high voltage of chassis
or metal etc. when the tip of thermocouples is not insulated.
The leaked high voltage of object will cause damage to this device.
· We recommend that the insulation tape puts on the tip of thermocouples before connecting the
thermocouples to the input terminals.
This will protect this device from the static electricity and the leaked high voltage.

Capacitors have been incorporated into the input circuit to increase the noise elimination capability.
After voltage measurement, when the inputs have been disconnected, there will still be some electric
charge remaining.
Before starting another measurement operation, short-circuit the + and - terminals to enable self-
discharge.
The GL240 has a scan system.
While in the status (open) in which signals are not input to the input terminal, measured results may be
influenced by signals from other channels. In such a case, turn OFF the input setting or short circuit +/-.

• Noise countermeasures
If measured values fluctuate due to extraneous noise, conduct the following countermeasures.
(Results may differ according to noise type.)
Ex 1 : Connect the GL240’s GND to ground.
Ex 2 : Connect GL240’s GND to measurement object’s GND.
Ex 3 : In the AMP settings menu, set filter to any setting other than “OFF”.
Ex 4 : Set the sampling interval which enables GL240’s digital filter.
Use the “OTHER” menu to set the commercial power frequency you use.
Refer to "3.4 Setting Menus" for details.

CHAPTER 2 Checks and Preparation
If the GL240 is not used for a period of approximately six months, the internal rechargeable battery may
be discharged and the date and time may revert to the initial settings. If this happens, recharge the battery
