3. Configure Settings
Configure sensor settings using
ZENTRA Utility or ZENTRA
Utility Mobile. Review sensor
instantaneous measurements to
verify the installed sensors are
working.
1. Fasten Logger to
Mounting Post
Use included zip ties to attach the
ZL6 to a mounting post.
Ensure the logger is installed in
an upright position to reduce the
possibility of water entering the
ZL6 enclosure.
Installation
ZL6 BASIC QUICK START
Configuration
Set the logger’s real-time clock and test sensor function prior to and
during field installation.
Using a Computer
Use the ZENTRA Utility Installer link on the ZL6 webpage
(metergroup.com/zl6-support) to download ZENTRAUtility.
Connect the micro-USB cable to computer and logger.
Open the ZENTRA Utility application, select the appropriate COM
port, and select Connect.
Using a Smartphone or Tablet
Open the mobile app store and search for ZENTRA Utility Mobile or
scan the QR code to open the METER ZENTRA Apps website.
On the ZL6, push the TEST button to activate the Bluetooth module.
On the smartphone, select the device in Devices Found.
Preparation
Inspect and verify ZL6 Basic components are intact. Installation will
require a mounting post.
Install the enclosed batteries and press the TEST button. The status
lights will eventually settle to a short, single green blink every 5 s,
signaling it is ready for use.

to use the logger in extremely wet environments.

ZL6 Basic Clock Sync
The ZL6 Basic requires a time sync to accurately save a time and
date stamp with each sensor measurement record. This time
sync happens when the logger connects to ZENTRA Utility or
ZENTRA Utility Mobile.
The time must be reset any time the logger loses power (when
batteries are removed or replaced).
