While NexSens can provision and manage a cellular account for an X-Series Data Logger if desired, it may be preferred to set up and manage an account directly with a provider. The loggers’ cellular telemetry requires a 4G-compatible SIM to operate. Please reference the following information for 4G cellular account setup: Step 1) Verify […]
Sensors can be connected to the UW-8 receptacle ports of NexSens X2 and G2-Series by installation of a UW-8 plug connector on the end of a sensor cable. The pinout for the UW-8 plug connectors is as follows: Pin # SensorBUS Signal Wire Color 1 RS-232 Tx* Orange 2 GND Black 3 RS-232 Rx* […]
NexSens X2 and G2-Series data loggers incorporate UW-8 receptacles for connection of sensor cables with UW-8 plug connectors. The pinout for the UW-8 data logger sensor ports is as follows: Pin # SensorBUS Signal Wire Color 1 RS-485 A Green 2 RS-485 B Blue 3 SDI-12 Brown 4 12V Power Red 5 5V Power […]
The X2 is designed to provide real-time data to users, most commonly via the WQData LIVE web datacenter. The diagrams below outline how the data travels from sensor to user. Wi-Fi Cellular Iridium Radio to Cellular Radio to PC Notes: Data is posted to WQData […]
Most X2-series data loggers are equipped with on-board Wi-Fi Direct communications which can be used for logger configuration and/or transmission of data to the WQData LIVE web datacenter. Turn On Wi-Fi Outside of a scheduled transmission period, the Wi-Fi is powered off and must be activated to establish a connection. The primary method used to […]
Grounding a data logger is critically important to ensure measurement accuracy and prevent damage to a data logging system. Damage can either occur acutely or manifested through intermittent hardware problems that are difficult to diagnose and can result in an eventual failure. While lightning strikes are an obvious source of power surges that can damage […]
The CONNECT X2 base radio utility can monitor the status of configured alarms on a WQData LIVE project. When the base radio utility is enabled, a base radio X2 can optionally be tasked to trigger a local alarm in the event that traditional methods of notifications (SMS or email) are not available. This works by […]
In the event of insufficient or unstable battery voltage from an SP-series solar power pack, check the output voltage by measuring directly on the UW-6 plug. Test the pack both in and out of direct sunlight to fully assess the functionality of the solar panel. Use a DC voltmeter or multimeter set to measure at […]
During first-time configuration, data loggers are added to WQData LIVE projects using a Claim Code supplied with each data logger. To assign a data logger using a Claim Code: Log in to WQData LIVE and find the username in the top right-hand corner of the page. Mouse over the username to reveal a drop-down menu, […]
