Lines with no numbers pressed are incoming calls (this option can be turned off). The logger does not have "caller ID" circuitry and is unable to record the phone number of incoming calls.

The first line is us checking a bank account balance using phone banking.

The 6 digit numbers are local calls.

The last line is us opening the door to our premises.

If you paid for goods over the phone by credit card then all the card info would appear in the log.

This shows how the Call Logger can be used. And if you don't tell your spouse that the logger is connected you can monitor who they are calling and for how long...

Downloading the data to your PC is easy using HyperTerminal built into MS Windows or our free term.exe program.

3164 - Telephone Call LoggerRecords the start and stop time of ALL outgoing calls along with the number dialled (plus any other digits pressed during the call). It operates "stand alone" - no need for any connection to a PC.

Data is stored in non-volatile EEPROM memory (24C128) so there is no loss of data during power failures. The kit is supplied with 16K of memory (enough to log over 500 11-digit phone numbers)but is expandable in 16K blocks up to 64K total. The logger "auto detects" the amount of available memory - just plug it in and go.

With 64K of memory installed, the logger can record over 2,500 11-digit telephone numbers (that's 28,000+ digits). With the standard 16K of memory, the logger will record about 2 months worth of calls for the average household.

Logged data can be downloaded into a computer via the opto-isolated serial port and saved to disk. The data is formatted so that it can be easily imported into Microsoft Excel®. As a bonus, call data is also output in "real time" to the serial port as well as being recorded in memory (useful when immediate call analysis and/or external data logging is required).

Access to the data logger's internal functions, including data downloading, is PASSWORD protected.
