 Problems and solutions

This chapter provides useful tips and information if problems occur with the performance of the 

datalogger or the rain gauge during or after they have been put into operation. The following tips 

can help you to ascertain what is wrong and possibly correct the fault yourself.

No measurements appear after starting up the datalogger and putting it into service.

•  If the datalogger  is used in stand-alone capacity:

•  Check if the correct type of connection  cable has been used or if the cable is damaged, 

whether the infrared eyes of the datalogger are clean and the readout unit is connected 

correctly. Next check in LDM e+ under the Application management tab -> Program settings if 

the correct COM-port has been selected.

• 

If the datalogger  is connected  to an e-SENSE SMS modem (field modem) and if e-SENSE direct 

or the e-SENSE data site is used: 

•  If the fault occurs in all dataloggers used, there is probably  a fault in e SENSE direct or the 

e-SENSE data site. Consult the instructions for e-SENSE direct or the e-SENSE data site. If the fault 

only occurs in dataloggers that are connected to a specific SMS modem, there is probably a 

fault in that SMS modem. Consult the user manual of the SMS modem. If the fault only occurs 

in one specific datalogger, check if the correct type of connection  cable has been used or 

whether the cable is damaged.

If the measures above do not solve the problem, remove the datalogger and check its operation 

with a readout unit and a (laptop) computer with LDM e+ installed on it. If communication 

with the datalogger  is not possible in LDM e+, replace the battery as described  in chapter 7, 

“Maintenance”. Contact your supplier if the fault cannot be corrected with any of these measures.

Communication with the datalogger  is correct, but no measurements appear.

•  If the datalogger  is used a stand-alone capacity: 

• 

In LDM e+, check the settings for Sample speed and Future start and also check the system time 

of the (laptop) computer under Settings, Configuration, Date and Time. Synchronize the RTC 

when starting up the datalogger. Depending on the set Sample speed and possibly a set Future 

start, measurements should now become available at a certain point in time.

•  If e-SENSE direct or the e-SENSE data site is used: 

•  Check the settings for Sample speed, Send interval, Send start and Channel is activated.  The 

setting for Sample speed should be lower than the setting for Send interval, while Channel 

is activated must be active. Depending on the value for Send interval and Send start, 

measurements should become available at a certain point in time. If this is not the case, check

1. 

The signal strength level of the e-SENSE SMS modem (field modem), if applicable. Please refer to 

the user manual of the SMS modem for checking the field strength level of the SMS modem.

2. 

The signal strength level of the computer GSM modem, if applicable. The field strength level is 

shown in the status bar of e-SENSE direct.
