CRVW3 3-Channel Vibrating-Wire Datalogger

When testing deployed devices in the field, you may have already
assigned different RF Hop Sequence and Network ID values
than those shown above. Make sure the
RF Hop Sequence
and
Network ID match between both (all) devices.
8.1.7.2.3 Using DevConfig to Connect to the CRVW3-RF407 Over the Radio
Position the RF407 and computer to be at least 25 feet away from the CRVW3.
The CRVW3 should no longer be wired to any device. Highlight CRVW
Series in
DevConfig
(not RF07 ). Choose the port on the computer that is
connected to the RF407 radio. Now Press Connect . Confirm red and green
flashes on the RX/TX LED of the CRVW3 and on the RF407 as radio
communications now occur.
If no other CRVW3-RF407 devices are on the radio network (i.e., powered or
in range), DevConfig connects only to the CRVW3 device that is powered and
available, using the RF407 COM port on the computer as a transparent link.
The DevConfig screens should act just as they do when the computer has a
wired connection to the CRVW3. You should be able to view and set all the
settings of the CRVW3 over the radio connection. Confirm that the Serial
Number and Station Name in the Main tab are correct and correspond to the
CRVW3 station being tested. Use the Data Monitor tab to confirm proper
CRVW3 operation.
If multiple CRVW3 devices need to be powered and located
within radio range of the RF407 base station computer, you must
use LoggerNet to test their radio connectivity. LoggerNet can
distinguish between CRVW3 devices based on PakBus address.
Each CRVW3 should have a unique PakBus address. Follow the
steps outlined in Section 10.7 , LoggerNet Configuration
(p. 80)
, to
perform multiple CRVW3 radio testing using LoggerNet .
8.2 Field Deployment of the CRVW3
When a CRVW3 is deployed to its permanent location in the field, there are
several key considerations which help to ensure that it works properly. This
section discusses how to get each device individually installed at its planned
location.
When using a CRVW3 with a radio option (–RF451 or –RF407),
it is recommended that you design the radio network before
deploying any device to the field. Radio connectivity is a factor
that can impact the geographic location of a CRVW3 site. See
Section 9 ,
Radio Networks
(p. 51)
, and Section 10 ,
Complex (Large)
Radio Networks
(p. 58)
, for more information about the use of
radios. It is also recommended that at least some of the
configuration of the CRVW3 be done in the office or lab (Section
8.1 ,
Lab Connection and Configuration
(p. 15)
) before deploying it
into the field.
Bring a laptop with DevConfig installed when you travel to the installation site
(see Section 8.1.1 , Preparing the Windows Computer (PC)
(p. 15)
, and Section
