If an X2 data logger fails to detect a connected sensor following the completion of the auto-detection process, verify the following: Check for proper wiring of sensor signals and seating of all cable connections. Verify that the detection script for the sensor has been developed, loaded onto the X2, and enabled to run. Confirm the […]

Erase Log Data
The logged data on an X2 data logger can be cleared via CONNECT. This deletes all stored measurements from the X2 memory, and the data can no longer be recovered once erased. Connect the X2 logger to a PC and launch the CONNECT software. From the CONFIG tab, click the drop-down arrow next to the […]
CONNECT Setup
CONNECT is a software utility that enables users to interface directly with any NexSens X-Series data logger using a UW6-USB-485P-DC cable. It supports a growing number of diagnostic and configuration tools to facilitate system setup and troubleshooting. Software Installation Download the latest version of the CONNECT utility from the Support | Downloads section of the […]
Mount an X2 Environmental Data Logger
The X2’s mounting kit accessory provides an easy way to attach the logger to a pole, pipe or wall. Mount an X2 to a 1-1/2 to 2″ (38 to 50 mm) pole by following the instructions in this guide. Alternatively, user-supplied screws may be used to mount an X2 to a wall. X2 Mounting Kit […]
Identify X2 via Body Tag
Each X2 data logger has a body tag number etched into the side of the bottom bulkhead. It is located on the lower backside of the logger in between the two RF ports or plugs. The body tag number is incorporated into the default name of the device on WQData LIVE and will […]
Desiccant Replacement
Each X2 ships with a bag of desiccant placed underneath the data logger circuit boards. Replace this desiccant bag whenever: The X2 enclosure is opened. Moisture from condensation appears on the inside surface of the enclosure lid. The Internal Humidity diagnostic parameter reads 50% or greater. Use a desiccant pack provided by NexSens or any […]
UW-FWP Wiring
The UW-FWP and UW-FWP-V terminals provide a means of interfacing a flying lead sensor cable to a NexSens UW-8 SensorBUS connector such as the sensor ports on X2 and G2-series data loggers. The ‘-V’ variation is vented and should be used with vented pressure transducers. Cable wiring and installation instructions can be found here. […]
Configure Network Settings
Wi-Fi only models of the X2 data logger can be configured to upload to the WQData LIVE datacenter over a local wireless network. To configure network settings: Establish a connection to the X2’s direct Wi-Fi network. Access the main menu by clicking the menu icon in the top right. Navigate to Settings | Network. […]
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 […]
