GLX-RSS-2-300 WL Non-Contact Flow Meter
Staff Gauge
Setting the sensor height relative to the measurement is done using staff gauge. The sensor will output
relative measurement of the actual water level based on its height above the riverbed.
Power management
Switching the device between continuous scanning mode and SDI-12 sleep modes. In continuous mode
the device constantly makes the measurements, which are transmitted over RS-232 interface and made
available over Modbus and SDI-12 interfaces. The device is always available over RS-232 and Modbus
interfaces. In any SDI12 sleep mode, the device remains in the sleep mode until SDI-12 Measure (aM!)
command is received. While in deep sleep mode, the device will not be able to connect to Modbus or
RS-232 interface. For reconfiguring the device which is set to operate in SDI-12 deep sleep mode, it’s
necessary to power-cycle the device, and then use this application to connect to the device within 20
seconds after power-up. If there is no attempt to connect to the device over RS-232 within 20 seconds,
the device will automatically go back to sleep mode. The device consumes only 0.08W while in standby
mode, and 0.04 W while in sleep mode.
