To transfer a Job Log --
1. Install the Communication program on your computer.
2. Plug the USB cable (included with your Omniguard ) into the lower
USB port on the Omniguard
3. Plug the other end of the cable into the appropriate USB port on
your PC.
4. Follow the instructions in the Communication program to transfer
the Job Log.
5. Once transferred to the PC, Job Logs can 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 upper USB port on the Omniguard allows a Supervisor 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.Omniguard.com.
Transferring the Job Logs to a USB Flash Drive
The Job Logs stored in the Omniguard’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 an Omniguard, all Job Logs are copied to the drive.
To transfer Job Logs --
1. The Omniguard must be turned on and displaying the current
pressure (at Home screen).
2. Plug the USB Flash Drive into the upper USB port on the
Omniguard. The flash drive icon should appear and the Omniguard
will automatically begin to download all job logs. This could take
several minutes before completing.
3. When the transfer is complete the screen will show the name of the
new Log file created on the flash drive. The file name will consist
of the last 6 digits of the Omniguard serial number followed by a
letter. Each file also has the time & date it was copied onto the
flash drive.
Example: If the Omniguard 5 serial number is
G506932, the fi rst Log fi le will be 506932.OGL. The
second fi le will be 506932A.OGL, the third fi le will be
506932B.OGL, etcetera. The Log fi les are stored in
the folder OMNIGUARD in the sub-folder LOGS.
To complete the transfer to the PC, insert the USB Flash Drive into
an open USB port on the PC. Using the Omniguard Communication
software, select “Open Log...” from the “File” menu. Navigate to the
USB Flash Drive, select the “OMNIGUAR\LOGS” folder and open
the appropriate Log file.
Message Rate
The Message Rate setting is the minimum amount of time the
Telephone Autodialer or Cellular Wireless Modem must wait between
multiple alarms before dialing or sending an new alert message in
response to a new alarm condition. This setting is to prevent multiple
alert messages from being when the job site is experiencing rapid
alarm occurrences due to windy (or other) conditions.
The setting can only be viewed and changed when a USB Port Adapter
is connected to an Omniguard.
Message Rate: (default is 10 min.)
• Choices are 5 min, 10 min or 15 min.
To change the Message Rate --
1. Plug the Autodialer into the USB Port Adapter, then connect the
USB Port Adapter to the Omniguard with the USB cable provided.
The screen should display the USB Port Adapter icon
on the
Home Screen.
2. Press
to go to the Message Rate screen.
3. Touch the current rate (white text) to toggle through the Message
Rate choices.
4. Touch
to save the setting return to the Home screen.
Cellular Communication Set Up and Operation
The Omniguard Cellular has a built-in Cellular Wireless Modem that
will automatically send status report updates (including Power, Alarm,
Normal Operation and Job Logs) to off-site personnel via cell phone
text messaging and email. 24 Hour Job Logs are sent on a daily
basis, eliminating the need to visit the job site to manually download
logs. Job Logs are received via email as an attachment and can be
viewed with any text editor.
