2.8 Base Line Measurements
The final steps include taking phase resolved data records in Test mode and analyzing the data.
1. Erase any pre-
existing data in the device memory by pressing “Erase Device Memory” button in the right top on
“Communications” window. It will take about a minute for the device to accomplish.
2. Go to the Unit Settings tab and
change the Data Storage Mode from "Normal" (Brief) to "Test” (Full).
3. Go to the Communications Tab on the InsulGard software and press "Send Settings To Device" button to update
the current configuration.
4. On the Communications window press the "Single Measurement" button. This should force the InsulGard to
make a measurement. You should see "--------" across the InsulGard display. This process can take as long as 6
minutes. After finishing measurements InsulGard will return to scrolling mode and will be ready for the next
measurement.
5. Repeat step 4 three more times.
6. Once all measurements are complete, press the "Read The Latest Device Records" button on the
Communications window. This will upload all data to the computer.
7. Go to the Unit Settings screen and change the Data Storage Mode from "Test" to "Normal".
8. If load sensor on a rotating machine is functioning properly check the box next to Load% to suspend InsulGard
measurements while machine is out of operation
.
9. Go to the Communications Tab and press the "Send Settings To Device
” button" to update monitor
configuration.
Failing to return to Normal mode will lead to storing excessive information in the device memory and
wasting flash memory resource.
10. Analyze the data. Reasonable changes can be made to settings based on data obtained. Send database to
EEPD if any questions.
InsulGard can be left for monitoring
