1. Description.
The WSD12-2DI is a datalogger with two input channels to acquire pulses from clean contacts or open-collector, from energy meters,
fluid meters, etc. inputs, with storage functionality of samples acquired.
Counting is continuously performed on input channels and is partially considered on the configurable sampling period. In case,
counting can be set as aggregate and scalable.
Data are wireless transmitted and internally stored.
2. Sampling.
In normal mode, the measure acquired is related to pulses counted in the programmed sampling interval.
At the end of each interval, the counted value, multiplied by the energy weight, is transmitted to the basestation, and internally
saved.
After which, the counter is reset, and a new integration cycle starts.
In cumulative mode, count is maintained and is automatically updated to new value at each measure interval.
Value can reach overflow; in case, counter resets and automatically starts again when reaches the maximum value of 65,535 pulses.
Sampling time is selectable and adjustable by radio but is recommended to set a time and maintain it fixed for the complete measure
harvest to guarantee values and intervals homogeneity.
To perform an analysis in an established period, a summation of whole contributions coming from each interval is needed.
In normal mode, performing a graphical analysis of samples, is easily possible to compare higher impact pulse periods with lower
impact ones, obtaining the measure timing profile, locating peaks and lowest periods.
To obtain the total amount in a period, a sum of samples acquired in the period can be performed.
NOTE: if the basestation analog output is coupled to the datalogger’s meter channels, the expected output signal will be a tier where
each level represents the recorded energy in the previous period
A punctual evaluation of weight/pulse/sampling interval/maximum output signal amplitude parameters is necessary to obtain best
dynamic results and avoid signal saturation.
With the same sampling interval, and consider the in-use amplitude scale, a wave integral calculation is possible, obtaining the energy
counted on a longer period.

3. Configuration.
The datalogger can be configured to sample:
-Active energy [KWh], Reactive energy [Kvarh] and Apparent energy [Kvah]
-Thermal energy [KWh]
-Fluid volume [l]
-Generic pulses
-Cumulative generic pulses
The pulse weight is adjustable to align the channel’s measure to connected measurer’s features to obtain correct reads.
Generic pulse hasn’t measure unit so, in case of cumulative mode configuration, weight is used as de-multiplier capable to scale value
represented by measure and reduce the overflow frequency.
Each channel can be configured independently to adapts to different pulse sources.
To perform the configuration, the datalogger must be connected to a PC using a USB connection; if necessary, DRIVERS (located on
the provided CD) must be installed:
-open WineCapManager software
-select the connection type: choose “Local Connection”
-select the support database and click on “Open”
-select “Properties” from “Sensor” drop down menu then choose “Tools” tab (Picture 2)

- click on “InfoReq”button to enter in the “Advanced sensor properties” tab
In this section following options can be selected:
- channel TYPE from those available.
- SCALE FACTOR corresponding to single pulse weight.
The unit of measurement is declared referring to measurement type, so, consequently, the pulse weight must be expressed in that
unit of measurement.
Example: setting a channel for active electric energy reading, the unit of measurement is [KWh]. If a single pulse counts as 50Wh, a
SCALE FACTOR of 0.05KWh must be set.
In case of “cumulated pulse” channel, the unit of measurement IS NOT set.
Pulses are summed in growing mode and the SCALE FACTOR can be used both to define the pulse weight value and a DE-MULTIPLIER
value capable to scale the reported value, to correct the maximum allowed value dynamic.
In example (Picture 3), 0,001 value corresponds to a division by 1,000 of the pulse count reported by datalogger related to those really
counted on input wires. If the pulse’s weight is 10Wh, defines that the reported count grows by one unit every 10KWh of counted
energy.
At the end, click on “Write” button to confirm modifications and wait for operation ending message.
ATTENTION: writing a new configuration will delete ALL previous data, because potentially incompatible with new configuration. BE
SURE to download and save previous data before proceeding.
a. Check for proper configuration of WSD12-2DI datalogger.
The maximum possible value in a measure interval is 65,535 multiplied by the pulse weight [Wh or KWh]. Reached this value the count
stops, and, during the transmission, the invalid status of the measure is notified.
In this case, a new evaluation of the sampling interval is necessary because may be too high or, vice versa, the energy meter and his
pulse frequency may be wrong dimensioned.
The energy meter pulse frequency must be less than 25Hz.
To calculate the pulse number in the period:
Frequency=(Plant maximum power [W]/pulse weight [Wh])/3,600 must be less than 25
Period pulse =Frequency*Interval [sec] must be less than 65,535
Regarding the “cumulated pulse” count, must be considered that when the 65,535 value is reached, the count is reset and starts
again from zero. When this condition occurs, the new value must be summed to the 65,535 constant.
To avoid this event occurs too often select a SCALE FACTOR sufficiently low.
Example: setting up the system with a value increase every 10 minutes, a count autonomy of approximately 1 year and 3 months
can be obtained.

b. Invalid measures.
There are two situations where the measure will be declared invalid:
−the pulse signal lasts more than 3 seconds.
•CAUSE: wires are in short circuit with GND, or a prolonged luminous signal beats the photoelectric sensor.
•EFFECT: the count reported is “0” until this condition persists.
−pulse number counted in the time interval exceeds the maximum value of 65,535.
•CAUSE: pulse frequencies very high and sampling intervals very long.
•EFFECT: the reported count is, however, 65,535.
4. Consumption threshold alarms management.
Maximum and minimum consumption threshold alarms may be planned.
The measure is a cumulative value, so the alarm management is performed in differential mode on the threshold interval.
The threshold level is expressed in “last threshold interval counted energy”. This calculation expresses the medium power measured
in the time interval, allowing the identification of moments where the electric consumption increases or decreases related to
expected thresholds.
NOTE: unless the alarm event is notified in the same moment of the sampled measure, it WILL NOT contains measure data. The
energy reported will be ZERO. This situation occurs because of the cumulative measure, the alarm is intended only as a timestamp
where the consumption value changes and not its value.
To obtain the thresholds value, starting by the power, is necessary to consider the time interval of thresholds. Therefore, the Kwh
value must be multiplied with the threshold interval hours number. If the threshold interval is expressed in minutes, the result must
be divided by 60.
Example: 120W maximum threshold setup with threshold interval every 5 minutes
120Wx5/60=10Wh=0.01KWh ➔ the alarm activates if in 5 minutes more than 10Wh are read
5. Device pre-set and use mode.
a. Wireless Mode:
No setup operation is needed. Typically, the system is configured from factory, so the device is already associated to the system
basestation. The device is in STANDBY mode (refer to Picture 7 - Status table - Radio signal quality) for which is necessary to start it
with the TEST command (refer to 8 - Installation procedure.).
Otherwise, in case the device is in FACTORY RESET mode (refer to Picture 7 - Status table - Radio signal quality), that means it's ready
for connecting to an existing system, in order to associate it, make reference to the “WineCap System - User Manual R30”
software manual. Is necessary to use the "WineCapManager" software on the PC connected to the basestation that will be
coupled with the device.
b. USB Logger Mode:
For this operation mode, stand-alone with data downloads through USB, the connection with the PC and the “WineCapManager”
running on it is necessary in order to modify the device 's operation mode. The sampling interval must be set with the device in
"STAND-ALONE" (refer to 9 - Stand-alone USB datalogger installation.) mode and automatically, the device 's clock is aligned with the
PC's clock, in order to assure the temporal reference of the sample.
Sampling operations start may be selected disconnecting the USB cable or giving the proper command with the magnetic key.
(refer to Stand-alone USB datalogger installation.). More details on device 's connection/disconnection through the USB cable are
available on the WineCap System - User Manual R30 manual.
c. On field transition from USB to Wireless datalogger:
This transition is practicable in field, during the sampling period, using the wireless network association command. When the
association is done, the datalogger becomes a wireless datalogger and, besides sending new measures to the basestation, starts
a download process towards the same basestation of the measures acquired during the stand-alone period (refer to Picture 8 -
Stand-alone datalogger status).

If the signal is absent or insufficient at the install point, a WR12 repeater should be put between (refer to “WineCap System - User Manual
R30”). The WR12 repeater itself must be in a position where the signal level is at least sufficient.
The network will reconfigure itself automatically; the signal will be good again when the device synchronizes with the WR12 repeater.
The link will not be reconfigured until completely lost by the device. Because of this, in some cases it could be necessary to force the
operation. In such cases, put the device in STANDBY mode, then run the TEST again (refer to “WineCap System - User Manual R30”).
NOTE: The display equipped datalogger (WD04T) is recommended, to verify the signal quality during devices installation.

10. Shutting off/Reactivating the device.
If the device is shut off and left unused for a long time, you can issue the STANDBY command (refer to Picture 6 - Commands table). It
corresponds to the command number 4 and must be issued twice to confirm the operation.
Position the WineCapKey in the spot indicated in Picture 5 - WineCapKey positioning and wait for four AMBER flashes, then remove
the WineCapKey from device.
Verify that the device asks for confirmation of STANDBY command with alternate GREEN/RED flashing, then position again the
WineCapKey and wait for four flashes again. The device will confirm the STANDBY status lighting the RED led for 2 seconds twice.
To reactivate the device the TEST command must be issued.
11. Transducer’s connection layout.
a. Connection with POD energy meter.
The EXP2PUL expansion may be connected to the WSD12-2DI datalogger input, to acquire led flashes coming from
POD energy meters provided by the energy supplier.
This operation requires the proper wires connection (respecting colour code):
➢brown: RA (active) higher LED
➢blue: RR (reactive) lower LED
➢black: GND (common)
The pulse weight is declared on energy meter serigraphy, set up the DIP switch in proper mode. For small and
medium dimension plants, normally corresponds, respectively, to 1 Wh and 1 var for each pulse. For larger plants
a correction factor may be present because of current transformers.
Use the two strips of double-sided adhesive located on the back, to paste the expansion to the meter’s plastic front
cover, taking care to clean the dust or liquids that may be present on the surface.
During the positioning, pay attention to the proper photosensors alignment with meter led. Flashes may be useful to obtain the best
position.
WARNING: the POD energy meter, if the power sampled is “0”, lights the RA LED continuously until this condition persist. The WSD12-
2DI enter in error mode so measures sent will be declared invalid. When this condition is solved, the POD meter and the datalogger
starts to count again automatically.
b. Connection with energy meter.
Direct insertion or current transformers type multifunction energy meters can be connected to the WSD12-
2DI datalogger inputs.
The weight of pulse generated by the energy meter must be set equal to the one set on the datalogger.
