Where:
• Temperature : datalogger reports the case internal temperature or the temperature
acquired by an external transducer ( NTC10K-FR ). The transducer selection
( internal/external ) is performed using jumpers.
• Proportional : datalogger reports a proportional value ( from 0% to 100% ) related to full-
scale of potentiometer installed, independently by the stroke.
• Potentiometric : datalogger reports the mechanical stroke of the installed potentiometer expressed in mm. Full-scale is configurable
for each channel using WineCapManager software.
To properly configure the device:
•Connect the datalogger to PC using the provided USB cable. Datalogger’s led will flash RED / GREEN .

•Scale factor
Modifies resolution and consequently the transducer’s dynamic range.
The correct value to be inserted is the external linear transducer’s full scale, expressed in mm, divided per 10,000.
For example, if the full-scale value of a linear transducer is 25mm, the value to be inserted in the “ Scale factor ” field is
25/10,000=0.0025.
This parameter influences only “ Deformation ” measures type; for other measures type this parameter is, however, initialized to “0,01”.
This value depends on the transducer’s type used. If not necessary must contain “0”.
Once parameters are modified, they must be saved on the device clicking on “ Write ” button. A message pop-up appears warning
about consequences of writing operation as the device’s flash memory erase. Click on “Yes” to confirm operation.
A new pop-up appears confirming the successful writing operation:
ATTENTION: Whenever the full-scale value is changed, the "REACTIVATE" command must be given to the datalogger

4. Device pre-set and use mode.
a. Wireless Mode:
In this use mode, the datalogger records and transmits each measure sampled to the linked gateway. Typically, the monitoring system is
configured in factory, so, if the device is already associated to the system gateway is in STANDBY mode ( refer to Picture 11 - Status table
–Wireless mode ). In this case, it is necessary to start it with the TEST command ( refer to Picture 10 –Wireless devices user interface ). After
this operation, the datalogger reactivates, resumes measure activity, and performs the connection to the gateway or to a repeater WR12.
Connection The onboard LED shows the radio signal quality for 2 minutes ( refer to Picture 11 - Status table –Wireless mode ).
Otherwise, in case the device is in FACTORY RESET mode ( refer to refer to Picture 11 - Status table –Wireless mode ), that means it's ready
for connecting to an existing system, in order to associate it using the ENROL command, Refer to the “WineCap System - User Manual R30”
software manual. It is necessary to use the WineCapManager software on the PC connected to the gateway that will be linked with the
device.
b. USB Logger Mode:
For this operation mode, the dataloggers works in stand-alone, recording data in its internal memory and without any wireless connection.
This is not the factory setup so, to select it, the connection with the PC and the WineCapManager running on it is necessary to modify the
device 's operation mode. The device must be set in STAND-ALONE (refer to 8 - Stand-alone USB datalogger installation.) mode and the
sample time must be configured; 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 8 -
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:

WSD12-4D
User Manual
PAGE 7/14
WA0389_WSD12-4D_User Manual_R13 V6.1
www.capetti.it
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 gateway, starts a download process towards
the same gateway of the measures acquired during the stand-alone period ( refer to Picture 12 - Status table - ).
5. Wireless device user interface.
The user interface consists of a “virtual” button that can be activated using the WineCapKey and of a two-colours led.
To give a command, user must approach the WineCapKey to the device’s sensible area and keep it in that position.; the following picture
( Picture 9 - WineCapKey positioning ) shows device’s sensible points.

6. Device enrolment.
Not necessary if performed in factory before delivery.
Enrol the device to the wireless network referring to the “WineCap System - User Manual R30” . In case the device is already enrolled but in
STANDBY status, a TEST command must be issued (refer to Picture 10 – ) .
7. Installation procedure.
After installing the gateway in appropriate place in charge, ( refer to “WineCap System - User Manual R30 ”), be sure that the device is enrolled
to the gateway and activated.
Head for the installation point. On the way, to check the quality of the radio coverage, use the "Field Measurer" function.
This function is activated issuing the TEST (refer to Picture 10 –) command: position the WineCapKey in the spot indicated in Picture 9 -
WineCapKey positioning and wait for two AMBER flashes, then remove the WineCapKey from device. The "Field Measurer" function lasts
enabled for two minutes.
To issue commands to the device, place the WineCapKey where indicated.
Once the WineCapKey , is detected, the led periodically emits AMBER flashes with a 2 second cadence.
For each flash, a different command is associated; to confirm the command the WineCapKey must be removed from the sensible area
immediately after the number of flashes corresponding at the desired command. The TEST corresponds to the second pulse and activate the
"Field Measurer" function.
The device will give back the radio signal quality through led flashes:

Optimize reception selecting the best position: small movements can help.
If the signal is absent or insufficient at the install point, a repeater WR12 should be put between ( refer to “WineCap System - User Manual
R30 ”). The repeater WR12 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 repeater WR12 .
The wireless communication 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.
8. Stand-alone USB datalogger installation.
Install the datalogger in appropriate place.
If the sampling process has not yet been activated, you can start it through the WineCapKey .
Bring it closer to the sensitive point, wait for 2 flashes ( TEST ) (refer to Picture 10 –) and remove. The datalogger begins sampling according to
your settings through your PC.
