5. OPERATING WITH THE MR3000C/TR
In this section some aspects of the work with the MR3000C /TR are described in details.
5.1 Preparing the MR for field use
We recommend to set-up the MR3000 in the office for the use in the field. Depending on the
measurement task, you may consider the different power options:
•
connection to AC power by means of the AC/DC cable
•
connection to external battery
•
Power over Ethernet (PoE)
For a long-term installation you may check the availability of an existing Internet connection you
may share (e.g. you can easily hook-up your MR3000 to a DSL or cable TV router). If you plan to
use a 3G connection we recommend you to check the network coverage at the site, maybe an
antenna with extension lead may be needed.
We recommend you to clear any obsolete files on the SD card before you use the MR for a specific
measurement. And we also recommend you to collect all the data once the measurement is
finished.
We suggest you to use the SCS Cloud Software to manage the data coming from the MR3000. For

In the following, we will present the operational procedure for a typical application with the
MR3000C/TR.
5.1.1
Construction site monitoring
Let us suppose that for the monitoring of a construction site we need 4-5 MR3000C to equip all the
nearby buildings. We do not know if we can use an existing Internet connection, so we use MRs
with the 3G modem option and equip the units with a SIM card (see chapter 2.5.1). AC power is
available at all the sites – nevertheless we use the external battery pack in order to be warned if
somebody unplugs the device – if we had no battery pack, the unit is dead if the mains is
disconnected.
First we set-up all the communication parameters, to make sure that we are able to communicate
with our MR once it is installed in the field.
We establish communication to the devices – as described in chapter 3.1 and set-up the units as
follows.
