The GP-HR is a high resolution (12 bit) multi purpose data logger that can be configured to accept inputs from a wide variety of sources including:

  • 4~20mA Probes
  • Voltage (DC)
  • Current (DC)
  • Temperature Probes
  • Pressure Probes
  • Flow Sensors
  • Frequency
  • Light Sensors

* Logging Thermocouple inputs with the GP-HR:

A lot of people say thermocouple to mean temperature probes, where as if the temperature range they are measuring is between -50 and +200 degrees C, then Pt1000 is more accurate and cheaper to implement than thermocouple. Thermocouples are ideal for high temperature ranges.

The only way that the GP-HR can accept a thermocouple signal is via an intermediary transmitter like the XU Series with an output signal of 4~20mA. An mA#-PS adaptor cable for each input from the XU Series transmitter(s) to the GP-HR is also required (with the correct number of inputs [1-3]).

If you wish to log only 1 thermocouple input then there are 2 possible options:

Three Analogue Channels:
To log any combination of:
Temperature Wind Direction
Humidity Soil Moisture Tension
Pressure Leaf Wetness
Light Voltage (DC)
Solar Energy Current (DC)

The three analogue channels have identical characteristics. Each channel can operate in two modes, Absolute and Ratiometric. The mode of operation is determined by the probe type selected for that channel. The probe type is selected using the Channel and Probe Setup Tab of the Logger Control Screen in the OmniLog Software. Using this software, a different Probe can be selected for each Channel. Temperature (Thermister), Pressure and Humidity probes are typically Ratiometric. Voltage and current inputs are Absolute.
Maximum readable input voltage in Ratiometric mode 3.3 Volts
Maximum readable input voltage in Absolute mode 2.048 Volts
Maximum voltage input without damaging logger 5 Volts
Maximum current to be drawn by the combination of all three probes 5mA
Input Leakage Current 0.1uA

One Fast Pulse Digital Channel:
To log:
Rainfall
Wind speed
Counter (up to 65535)
Flow
Frequency (up to 60 kHz)

The fast pulse input can be used in two modes, Counter or Frequency.
Counter mode is used for functions such as rainfall. Frequency Mode is used for wind speed or flow sensors. The mode of operation is determined by the probe type selected for that channel. The probe type is selected using the Channel and Probe Setup Tab of the Logger Control Screen in the OmniLog Software.
Maximum Count Per Logging Period 65535
Maximum Frequency with logging period set to 1sec 60kHz
Preferred Switch Input Type Normally Open
Preferred Digital Input Type Normally High

  • Average reading
  • Maximum reading
  • Minimum reading
Warning: When using the Average, Maximum or Minimum reading(s), the logger reads the attached sensor(s) every second. This will reduce battery life.
