3. Device preset 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 6 - Status table - Radio signal quality) for which is necessary to start it
with the TEST command (refer to Installation procedure.).
Otherwise, in case the device is in FACTORY RESET mode (refer to Picture 6 - 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 R29”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 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 R29 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 7 - Stand-alone datalogger status).

Description
1 flash
STATUS
Shows the device STATUS. As answer the led perform a flash sequence as
reported in the “STATUS” table. If the device is performing the TEST (refer to TEST
command) this command stops it.
2 flashes
TEST
Enter in TEST mode and transmits status and measurements every 5 seconds. If
the device is in STANDBY mode or it is out of radio range, this command forces
the connection procedure to the WSN and the return to the operative mode. The
TEST stops after 120 seconds. During TEST the led continuously shows the
STATUS to monitor the received radio signal quality.
CAUTION: Measures acquired during TEST phase are NOT saved.
3 flashes
ENROLL
Association to the network: must be used when the device has not yet been
included in a network, starts the entry and association procedure to the
basestation (refer to “WineCap System - User Manual R29”).
4 flashes
+ 4 flashes
STANDBY
Temporary device deactivation: the device is stopped. The sampling process and
the radio are/is turned off losing the connection to the network. To reactivate, a
TEST command is necessary. The STANDBY command must be given twice to
confirm it: at the first sequence the led flashes alternating RED and GREEN lights,
waiting for the second confirm sequence within 15 seconds. At the command
execution the led flashes as the STANDBY status (refer to “WIRELESS MODE STATUS
Table”).
5 flashes
+ 5 flashes
FACTORY
RESET
The device performs the memory deleting procedure and goes in STOP status. All
samples, configuration and wireless network data associated are LOST. To
reactivate the device a new association and configuration procedure is necessary
(ENROLL command). Also in this case, the FACTORY RESET command must be given
twice to confirm it. At the command execution the led flashes as the
“PROBE/DATALOGGER NOT ASSOCIATED” status refer to “WIRELESS MODE STATUS
Table”).
5 flashes
+ 3 flashes
LOGGER
NO WSN
As the previous command but performs only the WSN deleting procedure and
disassociate from the basestation. The device enter in LOGGER STAND ALONE
mode: data are kept and the sampling activity CONTINUES with previous setup.
Command must be given with 2 sequences: 5 flashes and then 3 flashes. At the
command execution wait for the device reboot. At the STATUS command,
“LOGGER” will be the answer (refer to “STAND-ALONE MODE STATUS Table”). A new
association (ENROLL command) is possible to a new basestation.

5. Enrolling the device.
Not necessary if performed in factory before delivery.
Enroll the device to the network referring to the “WineCap System - User Manual R29”. In case the device is already enrolled but in
STANDBY status, a TEST command must be issued (refer to Picture 5 - Commands table).
6. Installation procedure.
After installing the basestation in appropriate place in charge, (refer to “WineCap System - User Manual R29”), be sure that the device is
enrolled to the basestation and activated.
Head for the environment to be monitored. 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 5 - Commands table)command: position the WineCapKey in the spot
indicated in Picture 4 - 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 seconds 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 WR12 router should be put between (refer to “WineCap System - User Manual
R29”). The WR12 router itself must be located 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 router.
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 R29”).
NOTE: The display equipped datalogger (WD04T) is recommended, to verify the signal quality during devices installation.
