associated to the fully charged Base outside. Take the
PC Link to within 2' of the Base and wait for the green
light on the PC Link to flash – indicating association
when the system is awake. This will typically take
about 15 minutes.
Installation of the PC Link: First download
SensMitPath software to your Windows
®
OS
computer from
http://www.IRROMETER.com/download/
sensmit_installer.exe
The entire SensMitPath software package is
available through this link or on the IRROMETER
Products webpage under Data Loggers / 975 Wireless
Mesh System / SensMitPath Installer. Downloading
SensMitPath from the IRROMETER web site ensures
you get the program designed for the IRROmesh
firmware version you purchased. Install the program
with administrative privileges. You may need to allow
SensMitPath access through your anti-virus software
in order to access the Internet. Once the program icon
appears on your desktop, double-click to open the
software. Make sure the numerical universal time
indicated at the bottom left of the dialogue box is visible
and updating. If not, with some versions of Windows
®
,
you will need to restart your computer after installing
SensMitPath. Make sure the software is always
running and, if you are streaming real-time, that the
computer you are using has all its ‘sleep’ and ‘rest’
functions disabled. If your computer turns off/sleeps,
the data flow will stop. Placing SensMitPath on your
Start Menu will enable the application to restart
automatically in the event of a computer reboot.
Plug the PC Link into the host computer by its
supplied USB cable. The Base signal will travel to it
through non-metallic walls and windows, but range is
less than with outdoor device options. The host
computer must remain turned on and online in order to
continuously stream data. Data can be viewed on any
WEB enabled computer, smartphone or tablet device.
(see Figure 8)
Data Collection with a PC Link: First activate your
system at
www.SensMitWeb.com and become a
subscriber (see ‘Subscription Registration’ on page 6).
Additional information regarding the software is
available on the SensMitWeb.com ‘Resources’ page.
When running, this utility detects your USB connection
and automatically connects to the PC Link. This
enables any data from your network to upload to
SensMitWeb. Once you have completed registration,
you will be able to view your Nodes and confirm that
the network is operating properly. You will also be able
to access a host of diagnostic features.
Off-Season Shut-Down of the PC Link: Unplug the
PC Link from the computer and turn off the
SensMitPath software.
CELLULAR GATEWAY — 975G-BP
Data is automatically transferred to the WEB by the
Cellular Gateway, where it is viewed and stored.
(Subscription required)
NOTE: Cellular data coverage must be available at the
gateway location.
Charging and Associating the Cellular Gateway:
The Cellular Gateway is powered by its supplied solar
rechargeable battery pack and will be operational
when both battery terminals are connected. (Units are
shipped with one battery terminal disconnected for
safety.) To associate, include the Cellular Gateway
when charging and associating the Base and Nodes as
described on page 2.
Installation of the Cellular Gateway: The Cellular
Gateway and accompanying Solar Recharging Battery
Pack can be installed in the field at the Base location,
usually on the same mounting pole or up to 400' (122
m) from the Base. A minimum clearance distance of 3
ft (1m) should be maintained between the Base and
the Cellular Gateway. Mount the Cellular Gateway, like
the Base, on any sturdy post or pole using supplied
mounting brackets, as described on page 3.
If using the same pole as the Base, mount the Base
at the top of the pole, then the Solar Panel, the Cellular
Gateway and finally the Battery Pack, in that order. For
wiring details see the ‘IRROmesh Mounting Base &
Cell Gateway’ video at:
http://IRROMETER.com/videos.html

from the SIM card for 975G or the MEID for 975G-V
