What type of batteries does the X2-SDL take?
The X2-SDL requires (16) D-Cell Duracell1 Alkaline batteries. 1D-cell batteries from other manufacturers may have sub-flush negative terminals which can result in poor contact and may affect the consistency of power supplied to the X2-SDL logger.
At what voltage should batteries be replaced?
Depending on the total power demand of an X2-SDL system, the minimum acceptable operation voltage can vary. Factors such as the number and types of connected sensors, logging interval, transmission interval etc. influence the required power supply. A general rule of thumb is to consider replacing the X2-SDL’s (16) D-Cell batteries when the voltage falls […]
Install Batteries in the X2-SDL Data Logger
The battery compartment of the X2-SDL data logger accommodates (16) D-Cell Alkaline batteries for system power. These batteries should be replaced once the reported secondary power falls to 8V to avoid data collection interruption. Locate the white battery lid at the top of the X2-SDL. Rotate the lid counter-clockwise to remove it. Note: Due to […]

Adjust Auto-Report Generation Offset
Automatically generated reports from WQData LIVE often need to have their start times offset to accommodate for the upload delay (due to the latency of sensor sample acquisition and data logger telemetry connection processes) on the final data point. If no offsets are entered, reports that are delivered may be missing the most recent data […]
Apply Power to the X2
The X2 offers several power input options for flexibility in system design and redundancy in critical monitoring applications. Available options include solar-charged power pack, battery-only and AC power. Basic Requirements Supply Voltage: 5-24VDC [+/-15%] (Reverse polarity protected) Current Draw (Typical @ 12VDC): Low power sleep: 350uA; Logger Active: 35mA; Wi-Fi Transmitting: 43mA; Cellular Transmitting: […]

X2 LED Indicator Lights
The X2 contains two sets of (4) LEDs visible through the lid of the enclosure. These X2 LED indicator lights give insight into the operation of the data logger and Wi-Fi module, respectively. Two additional green LEDs beneath each magnet port give feedback when the magnet input is triggered. Note that all LED operation is […]
