• Perform Network Signal tests (with the chamber lid closed) to confirm the logger
connects to the mobile network and find the best location of the antenna.
Re-position if required.
• Perform test calls to confirm the logger can communicate with the DataGate
server via the internet and (if available and required) SMS.
(Details of use of IDT for making these tests are provided in the IDT user-guides).
Trouble-shoot a test-call failure if required, using the advice in the IDT app user-guide.
Further information is given in the HWM Antenna Installation Guide (MAN-072-0001).
4.26 VERIFICATION OF THE CONFIGURATION.
Prior to leaving site:
• It is recommended to check the settings in Pegasus2 to verify the configuration
has been correctly saved.
• Check the status is set to “Recording”.
• Check the PRV controller ‘Start control’ button is green.
4.27 PROTECTION FROM FROST
Where required, the coloured tubing can be protected from frost with foam insulating
pipe covers. These can be supplied upon request at additional cost or sourced locally
from a hardware store.
To protect the pressure transducers from frost, Pegasus2 has the option of being
supplied with external transducers, rather than internal transducers. This removes the
possibility of the column of water within the pressure hoses connecting to the internal
transducers of the controller from freezing and potentially becoming damaged, if left
unprotected in harsh conditions.
