populated,  the    logger  will  offer  this  code  to  the  network,  allowing  it  to  connect.  Failure  of  the  pincode  will  cause  the  
logger to abort the connection attempt and shutdown.
If you are using  a foreign simcard on a network, the   logger will  need to be told that it  is allowed  to use data roaming. 
Without that, the logger will shutdown. 
 

For the datalogger setup, the Wakeup Period refers to the time a logger remains asleep before waking and connecting to 
the server to upload its data. The Datalog Period is the time between each recorded datalog entry.

Datalog  timings  are  calculated  forward  from  midnight  of  the  day  on  which  they  are  set.  What  this  means  is  that  if  the 

datalog  period  is  set  to  5  minutes  for  instance,  the  next  log  time  will  be  calculated  as  5  minute  intervals  starting  from 
midnight. This means that each entry would appear on the 5 minute interval of an hour.

Cloudworks loggers support the use of simcard pin codes. How this works is - should a simcard have a pincode activated, it 

will request  the pincode when the modem powers up and  starts connecting to  the network. If the pincode field here  is 
populated,  the    logger  will  offer  this  code  to  the  network,  allowing  it  to  connect.  Failure  of  the  pincode  will  cause  the  
logger to abort the connection attempt and shutdown. 

d on  a  network, the  logger  will need to be  told that it is allowed to use data roaming. 

 

 

For the datalogger setup, the Wakeup Period refers to the time a logger remains asleep before waking and connecting to 

server to upload its data. The Datalog Period is the time between each recorded datalog entry. 

Datalog  timings  are  calculated  forward  from  midnight  of  the  day  on  which  they  are  set.  What  this  means  is  that  if  the 

ance,  the  next  log  time  will  be  calculated  as  5  minute  intervals  starting  from 

midnight. This means that each entry would appear on the 5 minute interval of an hour. 
Wakeup timings are calculated forward from the moment a logger goes back to sleep and not from the midnight point. 

 

Stored locally on each  logger is a 220 byte 'User Configuration Data' scratchpad area. This information is eventually carrie
back into the database and can be used for numerous functions. An example would be the storage of meter serial numbers
