PARAMETERIZATION OF THE STATION REMOTELY A special server service allows you to change the settings of the station parameters remotely over the Internet and GSM/GPRS network via the MOST program.
  • Page 7: Basic Description

    E c o n o m i c a l The H40 operates in a power saving mode, in which the instrument is hibernated most o p e r a t i n g m o d e of the time and only wakes up and takes measurements at the set archiving interval.
  • Page 8: Overview Of Program Procedures And Functions

    The following overview briefly summarizes the programming procedures and functions contained in the H40 station FW, which are fully available to the station users during its parameterization and setup. Most of these functions will be described in detail in the "Setup"...
  • Page 9: Mechanical Design

    User manual 2.1. Mechanical design The Hydro-Logger H40 is housed in a cylindrical stainless steel housing with a diameter of 40 mm, which is terminated on one side with a K2 connector for connecting the sensor and on the opposite side with a K1 communication connector for connecting a PC (lap- top).

    H40 station. The MOST program is also used to archive the current station parameter file and to modify this file. A special server function can transfer the parameter file from the server via GSM/GPRS data net- work to the H40G station even remotely.
  • Page 11: Power Supply System

    User manual 2.3. Power supply system The Hydro-Logger H40 is powered by a lithium battery block, which guarantees many years of operation of the device even when the measured data is transmitted to the server via GSM/GPRS network on a daily basis. The instrument is supplied with an in-...

    Hydro Logger H40 User manual 3.2. To insert a SIM card The station manufacturer has long been lending its own SIM cards to its products for a low monthly fee, which includes 1 MB of free data/month. The Hydro Logger H40G can therefore be supplied with an already inserted SIM card.

    3.4. Antenna and its location The Hydro Logger H40 comes with a small GSM 1dB antenna that connects to an SMA connector. G S M f i e l d i n t e n s i t y Reliable GPRS and SMS communication requires a GSM field strength of at least 8 on a scale of 0 to 31 at the antenna location.

  • Page 16 Hydro Logger H40 User manual GSM FIELD STRENGTH DETECTION USING MOST When installing the station, it is advisable to place its antenna in the place with the high- est GSM field strength. The modem in the station converts the current measured field strength into a number on a scale from 0 to 30 (the higher the number, the better the location for the antenna).
  • Page 17: Connecting Sensors And Transducers

    The connector connection limits the number of sensors that can be connected to the H40 and requires the addition of a cable from the sensor to the K2 connector. On the other hand, the connector connection simplifies and speeds up the installation as well as the possible servicing and calibration of the con- nected sensor or measuring probe.

    Hydro Logger H40 User manual 3.5.2. Power supply for connected sensors and transducers + U n a p In addition to the inputs, the K2 connector contains tubes for powering connected probes and sensors. The +Unap supply voltage (pin 1) is only briefly switched on during the measurement period.

    4 - 20 mA signal. The typical rise time of these sensors ranges from 20 to 50 s, and although their use in conjunction with the H40 station is not optimal, they are often connected to these stations (river level monitoring).
  • Page 22: Analog Channel Settings

    User manual 4.3. Analog channel settings Analog channels form the basic structure of the recording part of the H40 station. The analogue or pulse signals are measured, converted to the measured physical quantity and stored in memory in the selected units of measurement. Free channels can also be occupied by a value calculated from the values on the occupied channels (sum, differ- ence and special functions).

Fig. 1Detailed record of the measurand using the Over-Limit Archiving Interval. Note: The trigger condition for going to the "Over Limit Interval" archiving of a given channel can be a Limit or Gradient alarm on the channel itself, or a Limit or Gradient alarm on any other channel.

    Hydro Logger H40 User manual 4.8. Warning and control SMS Automatic sending of a preset warning or control SMS can be triggered not only by ex- ceeding the preset limit value on the measuring channel, but also by a change in the state of the binary channel, an error in the measuring signal, activation or deactivation of an alarm on the channel, etc.
