7 Installing the GSM Logger at the measurement
7.4
Mounting the GSM logger and testing the network
connection
The
GSM Logger
is mounted at the measurement location us-
ing the magnet.
If an aerial adapter is used then the aerial must also be mounted
using the magnetic attachment. It is important in all cases that
installation is carried out very carefully, especially when position-
ing the aerial.
7.4.1
General installation instructions
Ensure that a good metal-to-metal contact is formed between
the Logger magnet and the body to which it is attached.
It is important that structure-borne sound is not damped by dirt,
mud or rust. Clean the attachment point if necessary before
mounting the
GSM Logger
.
Although the
GSM Logger
must have a good contact at the
magnet attachment point, the
aerial must not touch any sur-
rounding metal parts at any point
.
If an aerial adapter is used, then mount the aerial using the
magnetic attachment in a position that ensures the aerial is kept
well away from all metal parts at the measurement location.
The aerial must not be bent or shortened. The available space
should be evaluated to ensure that the aerial will remain straight
and will not come into contact with any metal objects after the
shaft cover is closed.
