•
Check that an assessment of the work has been done and that any safety
measures are in place.
(E.g., Safety precautions, protective clothing and/or equipment being used).
•
Check the logger is suitable for use at the installation site.
Check that you have the required sensors and antenna.
Consider where the equipment is going to be located within the available space
and that all cables and any hoses are of a suitable length.
•
Check fittings are available to connect to any pressure measurement point.
•
The logger, cables, and sensors should be kept away from sources of electrical
interference such as motors or pumps.
•
Cables and hoses should be routed and secured so as to not cause any hazards.
Do not allow any equipment to rest on cables, connectors, or hoses as crush
damage can result.
•
Select the appropriate programming cable for the logger and attach it to the
logger COMMS connector. Complete the connection path to the IDT host device
(see sections 2.7 and 2.8). Use IDT to read the logger settings. (Refer to the IDT
user-guide for guidance whenever needed).
•
Update the logger firmware (if required).
(Consider downloading any existing data from the logger prior to upgrade).
•
Use IDT to check or modify existing logger settings.
o
Program a local time-zone into the logger.
o
Set timing intervals for making measurements (sample interval and log
interval). They should be configured to suit your
application’s
specific
logging requirements (minimise sampling rates to preserve battery life).
o
Set Channels to produce measurement samples from each interface.
▪
Configure the logger channel to match the sensor or other equipment
that the logger connects to.
(Check units of measure are correct, etc)
▪
Ensure the sensor is mapped to the correct output channel number;
This is an identifier used when uploading the logged measurement
data to the server. (i.e., Channel numbers must match between logger
and DataGate).
(Note: For loggers using WITS protocol, requirements are different;
refer to the guidance in the WITS supplement, MAN-147-0017).
▪
Apply any required statistical functions to the background
measurement samples in order to produce logged data-points (saved
values).
o
Where required, undertake the setup of any additional options related to
the channel. (E.g., add an initial meter reading, pulse replication setting,
sensor calibration). Refer to the IDT user-guide for guidance regarding and
any additional settings related to an interface.
