Set up, activate, and successfully test the entire system (LOG-AQUA, sensors, and antenna connection) indoors, in a controlled environment, before going to the field for installation - 2 - LOG-AQUA SCHEMATIC FRONT 17,4 cm (6,9 po) 13,3 cm (5,2 po) Magnetic Activator IP 68/ NEMA 6P Wavelet mechanical enclosure Slots for zip ties and/or bolts for mounting Panel connectors protector 7,3cm (2,8 po) BOTTOM Discrete port Cellular antenna port Serial Port External power port Analog port - 3 - LOG-AQUA INTERNAL UPPER ENCLOSURE Military-grade lithium battery pack (field replaceable, non-rechargeable) Interface board ON/OFF switch Indicator LEDs INTERNAL LOWER ENCLOSURE GSM antenna GPS antenna SIM card slot #1 SIM card slot #2 Memory card Cellular modem - 4 - LOG-AQUA COMPONENTS LOG-AQUA Logger Activator 3 Panel connectors protector 1 1x 1x Cellular antenna and mounting bracket (REQUIRED) 3 1 - 5 - LOG-AQUA EXTERNAL ANTENNA CONNECTION Connect the Cellular antenna to the antenna port. The antenna does not appear in the remaining depictions in this guide, but it must remain connected after it is properly secured to the appropriate panel connectors. Place the magnetic activator on the embossed logo on the front of the LOGAQUA enclosure. The data is transmitted and is visible in the user interface at home.aqualabo.fr (cf. Web Interface Guide). Magnetic activator - 6 - LOG-AQUA PROTECTION DU LOGGER After connecting sensors and antenna, place the LOG-AQUA protector above the connector ports and secure the Wavelet protector into the LOG-AQUA enclosure. Upper Clips Protector Arches Lower Clips a. Insert the two lower clips into the two lower holes of the LOG-AQUA enclosure. b. Snap the upper clips into place in the two grooves above the panel connector b a CAUTION: The protector is provided to shield the connector from tampering or over-exposure that could result in disconnected wiring. If you need to remove the protector, grasp it at the protector arches and pull up. The protector will snap off. . - 7 - LOG-AQUA LOG-AQUA ACTIVATION The screen display should resemble the following: If the LOG-AQUA transmits properly, then the test was successful. You can now install the LOG-AQUA in the field and begin to collect and view your data! If data does not transmit properly, change the LOG-AQUA installation location and activate again. If the problem persists, contact the Aqualabo Team for help: sav@aqualabo.fr +33(0)4 11 71 97 41 - 8 - LOG-AQUA SPECIAL INSTALLATIONS LOCATIONS WEAK SIGNAL LOCATIONS UNDERGROUND/INDOOR If the LOG-AQUA is installed in an area with weak cellular signal, activate the LOG-AQUA using the magnetic activator. You can log into the user interface using your credentials to validate that the device is transmitting and sensor Wait for at least 15 minutes, then log in to the user interface to confirm successful transmission. If the LOG-AQUA is installed in an area with weak cellular signal, activate the LOG-AQUA and place in the intended installation location with closed doors/access hatch. Wait for at least 15 minutes, then log in to the user interface to confirm the updated location on the map. Before installation, initiate the GPS out by activating the LOG-AQUA (see step 3). - 9 - LOG-AQUA MONTAGE DU LOG-AQUA Additional tools and/or materials might be required (not included) Rotary hammer Screwdriver with bit - 10 - LOG-AQUA LOG-AQUA MOUNTING Secure the LOG-AQUA on a wall, pipe, or other secure mount location by using zip ties or screws. 4x 4x 1x 1x Wall OU mounted Pipe mounted OU 2x - 11 - LOG-AQUA ANTENNA MOUNTING DOs Ensure the antenna connector is secured tightly to the panel connector. Mount antenna under the open sky or at least 50cm (20in.) beneath any object. Mount antenna at least 5 to 10cm (2 to 4in.) away from wall. Mount antenna at least 5cm (2in.) away from the LOG-AQUA. Finalize the antenna setup to the exact physical conditions. For example, close the lid, close the door, etc. Make sure you have a signal and a successful data transmission via the user interface If needed during installation, use the Transmit Now command with the magnetic LOG-AQUA Activator to initiate more rapid transmissions. DONTs Do not attach the antenna to the LOG- AQUA. Do not wrap cables, zip ties, or other items around the antenna. IMPORTANT NOTE : There are a few- minutes of delay between a successful transmission and the use of either of these methods for initiating data transmission. Repeating the use of either method will not expedite data transmission. WARNING : If installing in a highly corrosive environment such as a sewer, apply technical grease to the antenna and sensor field attachable connectors after securing them to the panel connectors. - 12 - LOG-AQUA ANTENNA MOUNTING - TROUBLESHOOTING If the Wavelet does not transmit, move the antenna to a different position. If the Wavelet still does not transmit after multiple attempts at repositioning the antenna, consider using an alternative solution, such as an in-road or a high-gain antenna. - 13 - LOG-AQUA YOUR LOG-AQUA IS SUCCESSFULLY INSTALLED ! - 14 - LOG-AQUA LOG-AQUA PINOUT 4 3 Panel Connector 1 2 3 4 1 2 Inputs 4x analog and 1x discrete RS485, RS232, SDI-12 (16 channels) 4x discrete 6-24VDC - 15 - LOG-AQUA AQUALABO 90 Rue du Professeur Paul Milliez · 94506 Champigny sur Marne · France Tel.: +33 (0)1 55 09 10 10 Hotline: +33(0)4 11 71 97 41 E-mail: info@aqualabo.fr Website: https://www.aqualabo.fr/ - 16 -
