Testing the mobile connection
Once the logger and GSM transmitter have been installed, checks must be carried out
to verify that the mobile connection from the GSM transmitter has been set up without
error.
Perform a GSM test directly at the place of installation. When doing so, proceed exactly
as you did for the preparatory work in the office (see page 25).
If the GSM test fails, then it may be possible to improve the GSM reception using the
following measures:
•
Change the position of the GSM transmitter and therefore the alignment of the
antenna in the shaft.
•
Use the 90-degree angled adapter for the antenna.
•
Replace the standard antenna with the optional magnetic antenna with cable.
Poor GSM test results may mean you will need to install the GSM transmitter in a
different position to the one originally planned. The determined GPS position may
therefore no longer be correct. In this case, you will need to work out the GPS position
of the new place of installation. You will then also need to repeat the "Programming and
linking devices" step (see page 31).
Has the GSM test been successful and is the GSM transmitter already linked to the
loggers? If so, then the devices are now ready for the measurement to be performed.

Linking the devices
The GSM transmitter must be "linked" to the loggers in use. As part of this same step,
the loggers are also programmed automatically (i.e. the temporarily stored measurement
settings are transmitted by the GSM transmitter to the individual loggers).
Proceed as follows:
Step Description
1
In the SDV-3 software, select the respective GSM transmitter in the directory tree.
2
Click on
Link to logger
in the
Communication
segment in the menu bar.
(If necessary, first open the
GSM transmitter
tab).
Result:
The GSM transmitter and the loggers will be linked. This automatically
programs the loggers at the same time.
A message appears on the screen once the procedure has been completed
successfully.

Has the GSM transmitter already been linked to the loggers (see page 31)? If so,
then the step described here is not relevant for you and should not be carried
out.
