Prep ring the dipperLog SMART System
The dipperLog SMART is a turnkey monitoring system for viewing and recording
the remote data on any computer, tablet or smartphone from anywhere.
In the starter kit, you will nd:
1. A Sensor, either water depth & temperature or water detection connected via
a downhole cable.
2. A Node dedicated to each sensor.
3. A G tew y to collect the data.
4. An Android T blet with the dipperLog SMART App already installed. In most
cases, the following steps can be skipped if the tablet has been previously
congured.
Inst ll tion Wiz rd
Starting with a fresh install of the dipperLog SMART App (not n upd te nor
precongured t blet), the Installation Wizard will automatically launch when the
App starts. You can skip the Wizard anytime, except at the end, when the nish
button has already been pressed. This step will utom tic lly be skipped if your
t blet w s precongured.
If you skip the Wizard, it will automatically re-launch at the next App restart, and
will continue to do so as long as there is no G tew y registered in the App. nce
a master component is registered in the database (a G tew y), then the Wizard
can only be launched manually through the CFG tab, under Installation Wizard.
Note that you will need to be connected to an internet network for the Wizard to
congure and download your maps properly.
Inst ll tion Wiz rd - Step 1 - N me Device
Name your device (your Android device) so that you can recognize it easily in the
future when you have more Android devices.
Inst ll tion Wiz rd - Step 2 - Enter Your Address
Enter your address (the location of the system installation). For Canadian systems,
the 3 rst digits of the postal code, and for American systems it could be a zip
code. Then tap on Se rch Address. The address found will be used as the center
location of the maps that will be downloaded. It is important to enter the correct
location, or the maps downloaded won’t be relevant (only maps surrounding your
area will be saved to your device).
Inst ll tion Wiz rd - Step 3 - Remote Use
Next, you’ll be asked whether you wish to use the system locally only or locally and
remotely (i.e. use the system outside of the network, to view your system at home,
at work or anywhere in the world). If you select Yes, then the Wizard will guide
you through some extra steps to congure the remote access.
Inst ll tion Wiz rd - Step 4- Congure Google Account
For remote use, the Wizard will prompt you to congure a Google Account (either
choose an existing one or create a new one). Most of our services use Google
services (such as Google Drive) to store your private data.
Unboxing
Step 1: Connect the G tew y to a power outlet and turn it on by pressing the
ON/OFF button. Look at the L D ashing. The G tew y is ready
once it starts blinking at a regular pace. The dipperLog SMART System
is sending/receiving data when the L D blinks.
Step 2: pen your tablet. Look for the dipperLog SMART App icon
either on the main screen or by clicking on Applications. pen the
dipperLog SMART App.
Step 3: After the main splash screen, you will either enter into the App or be
presented with an installation Wizard. If you are not comfortable setting
up the system manually, then follow through the steps of the Wizard to get
your system operational.

Inst ll tion Wiz rd - Step 5- Congure Al rms
Next, you can customize the basic alarm settings. You can disable/enable:
- Sound alarms on errors and warnings (you will be able to set the error
limits on each sensor later on)
- Turn on Text-to-Speech to get warnings and errors even when not
looking at the system
Inst ll tion Wiz rd - Step 6 - Congure Units
Next, you can customize the units that will be used throughout the App. You can
choose either Metric or Imperi l units or tap on Customize Units to choose the
right unit for each of your measurements.
Metric units: distance in meters, height in cm, temperature in °C, positive
pressure in bar, negative pressure or vacuum in inches Hg, volume in L, ow in
gpm (UK gallons)
Imperi l units: distance in feet, height in inches, temperature in °F, positive
pressure in psi, negative pressure or vacuum in inches Hg, volume in gal (US),
ow in gpm (US gallons)
Inst ll tion Wiz rd - Step 7 - Choose Applic tion
Next, you will be prompted to select the main use of the dipperLog SMART system.
Choose general application if you are unsure.
Inst ll tion Wiz rd - Step 8 - Re der or Writer
Then, you will be asked to choose how the App will gather data from the
dipperLog SMART system:
1) by pairing with a G tew y (choose this if this is your rst installation)
2) if you answered yes at Step #3 (you are going to use the system remotely),
by reading data from the cloud
Inst ll tion Wiz rd - Step 9 - Inst ll G tew y
Now it’s time to install the device that you have chosen in Step #8. Tap on scan if
applicable to scan the barcode of your G tew y. Then, name your gateway
device. The next two steps will congure the G tew y settings (if applicable)
depending on the conguration of your network size and estimated coverage.
Inst ll tion Wiz rd - Step 10 - Dene System
Enter the distance of the farthest Node from the G tew y (from your main
location). In other words, what will be the radius of your dipperLog SMART
network if the center is at the G tew y.
Inst ll tion Wiz rd - Step 11 - Congure Perform nce
Choose how you would like to optimize the system:
1) B tttery S ver (low data-rate). You should choose this option if you do not
currently need very high data rate to save your battery life. When saving
battery life, the system will respond slower than with the high performance
option. You will still get frequent readings, but not once every second.
2) High perform nce (high data-rate). You can choose this option if you are
currently monitoring a critical operation. The system will respond very fast and
consume more battery life.
You can choose to run on the B ttery S ver mode all the time. You should still have
plenty of data. nce the Wizard is over, you can still change these options
manually without having to re-run the Wizard. To do so, go to the Node tab in the
dipperLog SMART App. Tap on your activated G tew y. Change the duty cycle
from 5% (battery saving mode) to any higher value (e.g. 10%, 15%, 20%...).
Inst ll tion Wiz rd - Step 12 - Choose Theme
Choose the look of your App. For the best experience, select Modern theme.
Inst ll tion Wiz rd - Fin l Step - Finish
You can now commit your preferences and click on Finish, or you can cancel by
pressing Skip (no changes will be made). Wait while your preferences are applied.
The Wizard will also take care of downloading the satellite map for you. nce
completed, the App will restart and you should be ready to start adding sensors to
your network.
