Set the IP connectivity using the scheduler so that it has a high availability for voice (short on-line sessions).
Unable to access terminal menu.
If the security code has been enabled and this is unknown, then access is not possible. Please contact the
person responsible for setting the code in the first instance. The code is set by an authorised user using iLink.
However, if the security code is known and yet access is still denied, check the case of the entry is correct.
E.g. Caps Lock key is not on. The code is case-sensitive and must match exactly.
Digital Output activates when user is logged on.
This indicates the output is set to a scheduled mode with special features enabled. This mode is to enable
easy sensor calibration or radio communication testing when the sensor or radio is controlled by a scheduled
digital output. Otherwise the person on site would have to wait until the next scheduled operation to be
able to perform the test.
SDI-12 sensors log
a “NaN” value.
Until an SDI-12 instrument has communicated correctly at least once, all sensors logging values from it are
inhibited. So no logging occurs until the first good measurement is obtained.
If, later the instrument fails to respond all sensors using values from the instrument will use the error value
of NaN (Not a Number).
Sensor values not included
in SMS reply to “RQ”.
Whether or not a sensor is included in the SMS reply is controlled by the “Include in Voice/SMS” checkbox in
the sensor configuration in iLink or HydroTel™. This enables only the wanted sensors to be included. Ensure
that required sensors have this checkbox enabled and the updated configuration has been sent to the iRIS
350FX.
External 12V battery not charging as expected.
This effect can occur when a large capacity external 12V lead acid battery and large solar panel are installed.
Over time, if the total current consumption of the iRIS and/or external equipment is significant, the battery
voltage may start to fall, despite a daily charging “spike” in sunlight being observed.
This may be due to the iRIS internal charger reaching its designed input current limit (approx. 900mA) which
means the battery progressively falls behind and may not reach full charge.
For sites with a large solar panel (20watt or greater) an external solar regulator is recommended.
