screen and click ‘Add Acclima Sensors’ or the ‘Add a Single Sensor’ at the
bottom of the screen.
The SDI-12 protocol does not provide a way to search for multiple
connected sensors. Therefore, only one sensor can be connected to the
DataSnap when adding a sensor. This is only true for non-Acclima
sensors and requires the use of the ‘Add a Single Sensor’ option.
Acclima has engineered a more efficient and intelligent way to configure
multiple Acclima sensors simultaneously. This significantly simplifies the
configuration process and is done using the ‘Add Acclima Sensors’ option.
The process for adding sensors to a DataSnap is as follows:
Add Acclima Sensors
To add one or more Acclima sensors to the DataSnap:
•
Wire each Acclima sensor to the DataSnap as described in the
‘Wiring Sensors to the SDI-12 Port’ section below
•
Click the ‘Add Acclima Sensors’ button
•
Each Acclima sensor is automatically detected and added to the
DataSnap. Each newly added sensor is configured with a set of
default properties that can be changed at any time. This is
addressed later in this document.
Add non-Acclima Sensors
Each non-Acclima sensor must be added individually to the DataSnap. To
add a non-Acclima sensor to the DataSnap:
•
Physically disconnect the wires of all existing sensors from the
DataSnap
•
Wire the new sensor to the DataSnap as described in the ‘Wiring
Sensors to the SDI-12 Port’ section below
•
Click the ‘Add a Single Sensor’ button
•
The sensor is detected automatically and added to the DataSnap.
The newly added sensor is configured with a set of default
properties. These can be changed at any time.
•
Repeat the above steps for each non-Acclima sensor
The DataSnap does not support duplicate serial numbers. If there are
multiple sensors with the same serial number, the sensor that was
configured last will be used.
