1.4.1

 

SDI-12 VERSION 1.3 

The LT1 follows SDI-12 version 1.3 protocols with the exception of cyclic redundancy check (CRC) 
commands and continuous measurement commands which it does not support. 

1.4.2

 

SD CARD AND MICRO-B USB PORTS 

The SD card and Micro-B USB ports are accessed by opening the rubberized access cover.  The SD 
card stores data locally (details in section 2.3.2).  The USB port is used for connecting to an LT1 
station with a computer using the FTS360 Config App for Windows. To close, ensure the cover is 
firmly seated by running your thumbs along the side of the LT1 and overlapping the edge of the 
access cover.   
 

NOTE:  

Do not apply direct, localized pressure

3

 to the edge of the cover immediately 

over the SD card as this may disengage the SD card. 

 

 
 
 
 

Figure 1-2:  SD card and Micro-B USB port access 

 

The LT1 is shipped with an FTS tested and approved industrial grade SD card inserted in the SD card 
port. Detailed information on SD cards and their use can be found in section 1.6.     
 

IMPORTANT!

   

  Only FTS supplied SD cards should be used with the LT1 for logging. 

  SD cards should only be removed as per instructions in Section 1.6.1 

1.4.3

 

SIM CARD PORT – LT1-CELL 

Only LT1-CELL models require a SIM card to operate.  The SIM card port is accessed through the FTS 
panel located on the side of the device (see Figure 1-3).  To open the access panel, insert a small 
screwdriver into the slot and gently pry the panel open.   
 

NOTE: 

 Only open the access panel in a protected, dry environment. 

Any moisture entering the electronics compartment can cause the 

microprocessor to fail.
