3. 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 4 - Status table –
Wireless mode
). In this case, it is necessary to start it with the TEST command (
refer to Picture 3 –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 4 - Status table –Wireless mode
).
Otherwise, in case the device is in FACTORY RESET mode (
refer to refer to Picture 4 - 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 7 - 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 7 -
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 gateway, starts a download process towards
the same gateway of the measures acquired during the stand-alone period (
refer to Picture 5 - Status table -
).
4. 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 2 - WineCapKey positioning
) shows device’s sensible points.
