Checking Sensor Parameter Readings Using SDI-12
If iChart ever reads data input by a sensor as “-100000” it will be necessary to verify if the sensor is reading incorrectly. The problem may be elsewhere and completing these steps may rule out sensor failure and save on costly repairs. Make sure the sensor is connected and adequate power is applied to the […]
Buoy Ballast Weights
The table below indicates the minimum recommended buoy ballast weights for each NexSens data buoy, assuming no additional topside weight and calm environmental conditions. Included instrument cages mounted to the buoy frame help stabilize the buoy and provide a deeper location for mounting additional weight. The small model instrument cage (10 lbs.) is included with […]
Tool required to open sensor deployment pipes
The deployment pipe covers on all CB-Series buoys can be opened using a 5/16″ Allen key or hex driver.
Replace a Desiccant in a G2-RAIN Data Logger
Each G2-RAIN ships with a bag of desiccant placed underneath the data logger circuit boards. This desiccant bag should be replaced whenever: The G2-RAIN-RTU enclosure is opened. The Internal Humidity diagnostic parameter reads 40% or greater. Any appropriately sized desiccant pack (the included pack is 2.8″x 1″ for reference) can be used as a replacement. […]
G2-RAIN Storage Requirements
The following practices should be carried out when storing a G2-RAIN data logger for an extended period of time: (Use the diagram below for reference) Remove the antenna or ensure no tension is placed on the antenna resulting in curvature or breakage. Rotate the antenna counter-clockwise to remove. Use the NexSens […]
Install and Remove the Siphoning Tipping Bucket
The siphoning tipping bucket forces rainfall to flow directly onto the tipping apparatus, which allows for accurate precipitation measurements. Follow the subsequent steps to remove the tipping bucket: Remove the siphoning tipping bucket from the G2-RAIN-RTU by using the 9/64” hex wrench to loosen the (3) bolts that are connecting the bucket and the […]
Identify G2-RAIN via Body Tag
Each G2-RAIN logger has a body tag etched into the bottom of the bulkhead containing the G2-RAIN-RTU. This number is incorporated into the default name of the device on WQData LIVE and will often be requested by a technical support specialist in the event remote troubleshooting is required or if NexSens-supplied data services require activation […]
G2-RAIN Logger Diagnostic Readings
All G2-RAIN data loggers have an internal set of sensors that measure important factors of system health. A total of (10) G2-RAIN Meta Parameters are collected. Cell Module Power An adequate voltage supply is necessary to turn on the G2-RAINs cell module for data transmission to WQData LIVE. Values at or slightly above 5V […]
