Installing the Module
The module must be installed in an RX3000 station before the
motes in the RXW Wireless Sensor Network can join the network.
Important:
If you have not already registered the RX3000
station with HOBOlink and set up the station communications,
follow the instructions in the RX3000 Quick Start.
To add a module:
1.
Stop the station if it is currently logging. Press the Connect
button and wait for the station to connect to HOBOlink so
that all the latest data is offloaded before adding a new
module.
2.
Once the station is done connecting to HOBOlink, power it
down by disconnecting the battery and unplugging any
charging device.
3.
Insert the connector on the back of the module into the
receptacle in the left or right module slot.
4.
Using a Phillips-head screwdriver, tighten the screw at the
bottom of the module.
5.
Plug the cable from the RXW Manager mote into the jack on
the module, making sure the cable is inserted through the
bottom of the station case. Do not reconnect the power on
the station until the mote is plugged in as shown.
6.
Plug in the battery and then the charging device, and wait
for the station to power up. Verify that the new module is
listed on the LCD screen with a checkmark. Because the
module was installed in the left slot in this example, it is
listed on the LCD as module 1.
7.
The station should automatically connect to HOBOlink
(press the Connect button on the station if it does not).
Check your station’s page in HOBOlink to make sure the
new module is listed.
8.
If you added the module to an RX3000 station that was
previously in use, you will need to update the station
firmware. (If you have a new station, go to the next step.)
To update the firmware:
a.
In HOBOlink, go to Devices > List and click your station
name.
b.
On the station page, click Overview and scroll down to
Device Information.
c.
On the General tab under the Firmware Version, click the
firmware
upgrade link.
d.
Select Upgrade on Next Connection and click Save.
e.
Press the Connect button on the station.
f.
Wait for the firmware upgrade to complete. The upgrade
icon should be gone in HOBOlink once the upgrade is
successful. If the station firmware is not successfully
installed, it could be because there is an interruption in
cellular service or poor signal strength. Contact Onset
Technical Support at 1-800-LOGGERS, 508-759-9500, or
www.onsetcomp.com/support/contact for help.
9.
Set the logging interval for the module in HOBOlink. Go to
Devices > List, select the
icon next to your station, and
select Module/Sensor Configuration. Select Module <1 or
2>: Wireless Sensors Logging, enter a logging interval (how
often the sensor motes will record data), and click Save.
