Once connected, you can --
- transfer the current Job Log or all Job Logs to the PC
- “remotely monitor” the Omniguard 4, observing pressure, status
and log updates as they occur on the job site.
- configure and set up multiple Omniguards, using the software
to upload configuration settings
Transferring a Job Log to the PC
The Job Logs stored in the Omniguard 4’s memory can be transferred
to a PC for permanent storage, statistical analysis and summary
report generation. Job Logs transferred to a PC can be reviewed and
reprinted any number of times.
To transfer a job log --
1. Install the Communication program on your computer.
2. Plug the USB cable (included with your Omniguard 4) into the
USB PC connector on the Omniguard 4.
3. Plug the other end of the cable into the appropriate USB connector
on your PC.
4. Run the Communication program and select Omniguard 4 from
the menu, then Job Logs, then Receive..... The logs selected will
be transferred to the PC and displayed in a window.
5. Job Logs can also be exported in a tab separated format so they
can be imported into Microsoft Excel for charting and analysis.
USB Flash Drive – Data Collection
The USB connector on the Omniguard 4 makes it possible to gather
Job Logs at the job site using a USB Flash Drive. The logs can be
viewed later on a PC using the Omniguard Communication software
available free @ www.engsolinc.com.
Transferring the Job Logs to a USB Flash Drive
The Job Logs stored in the Omniguard 4’s memory are copied as a
single Log file to a USB Flash Drive. The Omniguard Communication
software can read the Log file and separate it back into individual Job
Logs for storage on your PC. Each time a USB Flash Drive is inserted
into the Omniguard, all Job Logs are copied to the drive.
To transfer job logs --
1. The Omniguard 4 must be turned on and displaying the current
pressure.
2. Plug the USB Flash Drive into the USB connector on the
Omniguard 4. The display will change to indicate the log is being
copied to the USB Flash Drive. This could take several minutes
before completing.
The bottom port, USB PC is used to communicate between your PC
and the Omniguard 4. Using the Windows® compatible Omniguard
Communication software, job logs may be transferred to the PC
and the setup of multiple Omniguard 4’s can be easily handled. The
software is available as a free download @ www.engsolinc.com.
Note: This version of Omniguard 4 no longer has
the AUX ALARM port. To use a Remote Auxiliary
Alarm or Telephone Autodialer, you will need to
purchase the optional USB Port Adapter.
USB Port Status Symbols

of the USB connectors and the devices connected.
