7300w² Monitor Instruction Manual
6.3 Sensor Config
The monitor leaves the factory with no sensors pre-installed. Before attempting to configure a
measurement, the sensor must be installed. At this stage it is worth reviewing the contents of the
sensor manual(s) to ensure each sensor has been mechanically and electrically installed correctly.
NOTE:
Once the Sensors have been wired, unplug each 4-way connector from the 7300w² Monitor or
Expansion Box before powering up the unit. The system must recognise each sensor in turn through
the ModTechw² Protocol in the “Add Sensor Config Menu”.
Each sensor type in the WaterWatch² range has a unique Modbus address number. When connecting
two or more sensors of the same type to a 7300w² monitor, their default Modbus address will conflict
and a communication error will occur. It is therefore necessary to only connect one sensor at a time.
Once the first sensor has been configured, the Modbus address must then be changed before
connecting and configuring the second sensor and so on. This is generally not necessary for sensors
of different types. See 6.3.5.
For further information on the configuration and operation of our sensors
please refer to their relevant manuals supplied with the sensor, please
read both manuals to ensure correct set up and operation. To access
the
Sensor Config Menu
:
1. From the MAIN MENU screen, select SENSOR CONFIG by
pressing
or
to highlight, and press
.
2. The SENSOR MENU should be displayed.
6.3.1 Sensor Status
This menu will display a list of sensors installed and will include the
serial number for reference. Up to 8 sensors can be configured to a
single monitor. If only one sensor is installed, the remaining seven
sensor allocations will display “Disabled”.
6.3.2 Add Sensor
1. After power up plug in the first Sensor.
2. From the MAIN MENU screen, select SENSOR CONFIG by
pressing
or
to highlight, and press
.
3. The SENSOR MENU should be displayed. Press
to
highlight ADD SENSOR, and press
.
4. The Monitor will now search by the ModTechw² Protocol all possible addresses (0 to 240) to find any
connected sensors. During the search, any sensors found will be displayed momentarily before
continuing with the search.
5. Once the search is complete, the Monitor will display a list of sensors found. Each sensor will be
automatically allocated a reference from S:01 to S:08.
6. Repeat the above process to install a second, third or more sensors. A total of 8 sensors can be
configured. If sensors of the same type are to be installed, the Modbus address for the first sensor of
that type must be changed before installing the next sensor, See 6.3.5.
7. Sensor addition is now complete.
6.3.3 Sensor Config
Once a sensor has been registered, the monitor will display a list of configurable parameters specific to the
installed sensor. Please refer to the user manual that was supplied with the sensors for full details.
