Installation on site
2.1.1 Prior to site visit
If possible, configure the iRIS 150FX completely before taking it into the field for installation. Use the typical configuration
examples below as a guide. After configuration, when the battery is removed again prior to installation, all configuration
settings will be retained with the exception of the date and time and data logging pointers. These are set as part of final
commissioning.
2.1.2 Installation on site
§
Remove the enclosure lid by removing the four screws from the corners.
§
Mount the enclosure base in the desired location using suitable screws through the two mounting holes in the base
side walls.
§
Remove the rubber sealing plug from one or both glands. Feed the connection cable(s) through the glands, but do not
tighten the glands yet.
§
Terminate any instrumentation first (water meter reed switches, level sensors etc) before connecting the datalogger.
Do not liven any power supplies yet.
§
Strip the cable ends and trim the wire ends for connection into the terminals. If the cable is shielded, ensure that loose
shield wire ends are covered with heat shrink tube to prevent short circuits.
§
Terminate the wire ends into the appropriate connectors. Note that the terminals are small and care should be taken
to avoid excessive bare wire lengths or loose strands being exposed.
§
Check the settings of the analogue input and digital input jumpers and set them appropriately. Refer to Sections
Analogue Inputs and Digital Inputs for details on these.
§
Adjust the amount of cable inside the enclosure to enable the lid to be fitted easily without jamming. Tighten the
glands.
§
Install the lithium battery, ensuring it is installed the correct way round. The logger should start.
§
Secure the lid with the four screws. Apply external power if used (battery or d.c supply)
§
With a laptop, set the time and date and also test that all sensor values are correctly scaled and working.
§
Initialise the logger which will reset pointers and totalisers. See Option 3 in Section Terminal Menus .
§
Allow the logger to log at least a few samples. Unload the data and check it is correct.
2.2 Mounting
The iRIS 150FX can be mounted to almost any surface by using suitable screws through the two internal mounting pillars.
These are exposed by removing the lid.
2.3 External I/O Connector (iRIS 150FXC)
All I/O and power supply terminations are via a small 14-way pluggable screw terminal block mounted on the bottom
edge of the enclosure. This connector block is wired internally to the PCB in the factory. The functions of the connector
terminals are shown in the table below.
