1. INTRODUCTION

The DataCell D has been designed to give you reliable and accurate data logging of

metering and industrial processes in all environments. Commissioning and data

collection is done locally via the DataCell’s optical port using the Infrared Cable (IRC)

and a notebook PC.

Once installed, the DataCell D should continue to operate without further adjustment

for the expected life of its batteries. Typical operation parameters can be changed by

using the Infra Red Cable and the Connect software suite. This software is available

via internet download from the resources page at www.DataCell.co or by contacting

Aegis.

2. INSTALLATION

2.1. Mounting

The DataCell D is designed to be mounted in an upright position. Select a suitable

mounting location, considering operational issues such as clearances from objects

that may cause physical damage to the unit. Mount the supplied bracket using an

appropriate fixing mechanism ensuring the product is mounted securely and cannot

be dislodged. Fasten the product in place by fixing the supplied screws through the

bracket and into the bracket mounting holes as shown in Fig 2.2.

2.3. Input connections

There are four sockets on the bottom of the DataCell D. These are the inputs for the

DataCell data logger to connect to various sensors. Three inputs will have a cap

covering the input sockets to protect them from damage when not in use, see fig 2.2.

The connections for the input sockets at the bottom of the unit are as follows:

R: Return (internal Ground)

L: Line

T: Tamper

See figure 2.3 below, for details of a typical connection to a water meter ‘switch type’

(reed switch) sensor. The sensor cable outer diameter must be between 4.5 – 6.5mm.

3. WORKING WITH A DATACELL D

3.1. Exiting Hibernation

To allow transport and storage of the DataCell D, without concern of generating unnecessary logging

activity, the unit is placed into hibernation prior to leaving the factory. To exit hibernation hold the

DataCell D in a position whereby you can view the activity of the LED’s within the infrared

communications port and follow the following steps:-

1. Hold the magnet in the location shown in figure 3.2.1 and observe that the Yellow LED is lit. Keep

the magnet in place for approximately 10 seconds until the Orange LED illuminates.

2. Upon illumination of the orange LED remove the magnet from its position and hold it away from the

DataCell for a period of approximately 10 seconds, at the completion of which the Red LED will

illuminate.

3. Return the magnet to the original position; soon a Green LED will flash at which time you should

swipe the unit three (3) times, by moving the magnet left to right across the label as shown in figure

3.2.1. This will temporarily cause the LED’s to shut down before returning to the high power state

with both the Green and Orange LED’s Illuminated.

3.2. Waking the DataCell D

Once the DataCell D has exited Hibernation it can be woken by using the swipe magnet as follows:-

Using the Swipe Magnet from the IRC Starter Kit, swipe the magnet over the side of the unit directly in

line with the IRC port using a downward swiping action, see fig 3.2.1.

3.3. Co unicating with a DataCell D

To communicate with the DataCell D you must use the Connect software suite. Configuration changes

may only be made locally via the Infrared cable. All information and instructions regarding the

configuration, set up and data collection of the DataCell D can be found in the Connect User Guide

which is available online at www.datacell.co.

3.4. LED indications

LED’s are provided to give the user an indication of what activity the DataCell is undertaking at any given

time. These LED’s are visible via the infrared communications port and have various activity states as

described below:-

Both LED’s OFF. Unit in low power or sleep mode.

Green OFF, Orange ON. Logging disabled, Unit in High power mode.

Green On, Orange ON. Logging enabled, Unit in High power mode.

4. CARE AND MAINTENANCE
