properly secured to the appropriate panel connectors.
Place the magnetic activator on the embossed logo on the front of the LOG-
AQUA enclosure.
The LOG-AQUA will initiate a 15-minute test mode of sampling and send a
few transmissions of data. The device will then return to its default
configuration

If the LOG-AQUA transmits properly,
then the test was successful.
You can now install the LOG-AQUA in
the field and begin to collect and view
your data!
If data does not transmit properly,
change the LOG-AQUA installation
location and activate again.
If the problem persists, contact the

activator.
You can log into the user interface
using your credentials to validate that
the device is transmitting and sensor
Wait for at least 15 minutes, then log
in to the user interface to confirm
successful transmission.
UNDERGROUND/INDOOR
If the LOG-AQUA is installed in an area
with weak cellular signal, activate the
LOG-AQUA and place in the intended
installation location with closed
doors/access hatch.
Wait for at least 15 minutes, then log in
to the user interface to confirm the
updated location on the map.
Before installation, initiate the GPS out
by activating the LOG-AQUA (see step

ANTENNA MOUNTING
DOs
✓Ensure the antenna connector is
secured tightly to the panel
connector.
✓Mount antenna under the open sky or
at least 50cm (20in.) beneath any
object.
✓Mount antenna at least 5 to 10cm (2
to 4in.) away from wall.
✓Mount antenna at least 5cm (2in.)
away from the LOG-AQUA.
✓Finalize the antenna setup to the
exact physical conditions. For
example, close the lid, close the door,
etc.
✓Make sure you have a signal and a
successful data transmission via the
user interface
✓If needed during installation, use the
Transmit Now command with the
magnetic LOG-AQUA Activator to
initiate more rapid transmissions.
DONTs
✓Do not attach the antenna to the LOG-
AQUA.
✓Do not wrap cables, zip ties, or other
items around the antenna.
IMPORTANT NOTE :
There are a few- minutes of delay between a
successful transmission and the use of either
of these methods for initiating data
transmission. Repeating the use of either
method will not expedite data transmission.
WARNING :
If installing in a highly corrosive
environment such as a sewer, apply technical
grease to the antenna and sensor field
attachable connectors after securing them
to the panel connectors.

ANTENNA MOUNTING - TROUBLESHOOTING
If the Wavelet does not transmit, move the antenna to a different position.
If the Wavelet still does not transmit after multiple attempts at repositioning the
antenna, consider using an alternative solution, such as an in-road or a high-gain
antenna.
