3 Commissioning the Logger
3.1 Configuring the Logger
Prior to its on-site installation, the logger must be properly configured using the
supplied SebaDataView software. In doing so, the logger has to be provided with the
channel allocation, the alarm conditions and the wireless connection parameters
among other things.
(For a detailed description of the logger configuration, please refer to chapter 5).
3.2 Preparing the Logger for GSM Connectivity
If the data collected by the logger should be periodically transferred to a FTP server
or if an alarm notification via email / SMS is required, the following steps must be
performed in order to prepare a logger (with built-in GSM modem) for GSM
connectivity:
Step Action
1 In order to get a SIM card enabled for data transfer via GPRS, you have
to close a suitable contract with a mobile phone service provider.
2 Loosen the four marked screws with a M3 allen key or with a crosstip
screwdriver respectively (depending on the logger type) and remove
the front panel.

3-15
(Continuation from previous page:)
Step Action
Insert the SIM card into the slot as shown in the figure below. The card
has to snap into the spring mechanism.
If you need to release the card, gently press its protruding edge.
3
Please be careful not to damage any electrical parts within the
logger.
Attach the front panel to the housing again.
4
In order to ensure the total protection against water and dust
ingress compliant with IP 68, the following instructions must be
observed:
•If the logger is older then six months and if the front panel has
not been changed during the last six months, a new front panel
including a new rubber seal must be installed. A new front
panel can be ordered from SebaKMT.
•The rubber seal and the contact surfaces of the housing must
be free of dirt.
•Be careful not to jam the housing parts against each other.
•Tighten the screws with a torque of 1 Nm.
5 Connect the supplied GSM antenna with the GSM socket . Make
sure that the guide on the plug fits in the groove in the socket and that
you feel the plug latch in.
6 Make sure that the GSM settings have been properly configured (see
section 5.4).

3-16
3.3 Connecting the Logger
Depending on its configuration, the following peripheral and measring devices can be
connected to a logger:
•up to 4 sensors can be attached and the data can be logged (e.g. pressure,
flow velocity)
•up to 2 alarm-triggering devices (e.g. a light barrier) can be connected to the
switching inputs
•up to 2 devices (e.g. signal lamp, pump) can be connected to the switching
outputs and can be triggered in the case of an alarm
•up to two tubes can be directly connected to the internal pressure sensors
Depending on the type of sensors / alarm devices connected to the Sebalog D, the
appropriate parameter values have to be provided to the logger using the
SebaDataView software. For a detailed description of the necessary configuration
steps, please refer to section 5.2.
3.3.1 Connecting Sensors and Alarm Devices
3.3.1.1 Basics
Introduction One end of the VK 75 / VK 76 connection cables used for connecting equipment to
the logger is uncoated and ten colour-coded wires stick out of it. According to its
colour, each of these wires represents a specific input / output of the logger and can
be directly connected to the respective terminal of a peripheral device (e.g. a sensor).
If no adequate terminals are existent, a luster terminal or other accessories can be
used. A proper electrical insulation must be ensured.
For the basic logger version with only one channel, all connections are established
via the VK 76 connection cable attached to the USB / DC ext. socket .
For loggers with 2 or even 4 channels only the switching inputs/outputs and the
external power supply are connected via the VK 76 connection cable. Any
connections to sensors are established via the VK 75 connection cable attached to
the IN socket .
The channels are assigned in numeric order which means that for a 2-channel
logger, the channels 1 and 2 have to be used for the connection setup.
3

3-17
Fixed channel allocations Due to the internal wiring of the logger, current loops can only be connected to the
channels 2 and 4.
The internal pressure sensors P1 and P2 are always linked to channel 1 and 3. If the
logger is equipped with one or two internal pressure sensors, the respective channels
are in use and must not be connected to external sensors.
Corresponding to these conventions, the following channel allocations apply:
Channel 1 Channel 2 Channel 3 Channel 4

3.3.1.2 Connection Equipment for Single-channel Loggers
Introduction Loggers with only one channel (LOG D-1) can be connected to one sensor, a
switching input and a switching output. All of these connections can be established
with only one connection cable (VK 76) attached to the USB / DC ext. socket .
VK 76 pin assignment in
