Commissioning the system

Tip: It is recommended that the 4-Channel Data Logger is first placed into operation in the office before mounting the device permanently at the place of use. During this process, you should create a site for the later operation on the myDatanet server (see Creating the site) and determine a site configuration (see Site configuration). Take the opportunity to get to know the functions of the device in a stable environment. You can also use suitable test signals to simulate the sensors to establish the optimum configuration of the 4-Channel Data Logger prior to its actual first use. This reduces the amount of time required for on-site installation to a minimum.

The following work should be completed in the office before you go to the future location of the device:

  1. If necessary, create a customer on the myDatanet server (see "myDatanet Server Manual " 805002).

     

  2. Within the selected customer, create a new site/application for operation on the myDatanet server based on the "4-Channel Data Logger" application (see Creating the site).
  3. Configure the created site/application according to your requirements (see Site configuration).
  4. Connect the antenna (see Connecting the mobile network antenna). The antenna is not included in the scope of delivery and must be ordered separately.
  5. Establish a connection so that the configuration of site is transferred to the 4-Channel Data Logger . Insert the power supply unit for this purpose. It is designed in such a way that it cannot be inserted incorrectly. Details on this are provided in the chapter Assembling the 4-Channel Data Logger . The status LED should then start to flicker (see Three colour status LED), indicating that a connection is being established. If this is not the case, the transport lock may have been activated on the device. In this case, initiate Aloha transmission mode (see Aloha transmission mode).
    Note: If the 4-Channel Data Logger was in transport mode, the transport lock is deactivated by the initiation of Aloha transmission mode and the device starts to operate in accordance with the configuration.
    Tip: Note that all power supply units with an integrated and rechargeable energy store are delivered with a maximum charge of 30% in accordance with applicable transport regulations and must therefore be fully charged before being used for the first time (see Charging the power supply unit).
    Tip: If you are using a power supply unit without an integrated energy store, the external supply or charging voltage must be connected before inserting the power supply unit. Details on this are provided in the chapter Connecting the sensors, actuators and power supply.
    Tip: You can also skip this step, as Aloha transmission mode must also be initiated during the installation on site, which transfers the configuration to the 4-Channel Data Logger at the same time.

  6. Use the corresponding strap to remove the power supply unit from the 4-Channel Data Logger and then, if used, disconnect the cabling for the supply or charging voltage from the device when in a de-energised state, if possible.
  7. Remove the antenna again.
    8. The following work is completed directly at the location of the device:
  8. Complete all of the steps detailed in the chapter Assembling the 4-Channel Data Logger .
  9. Check whether the connection to the myDatanet server has worked correctly (see Testing communication with the device).
