SETUP AND INSTALLATION
You can find your current software version in the "About" option of the Help menu in the
ECH20 Utility. If you are connected to the Internet, select "Check for Updates" in the Help
menu to see if there is a newer version available.
The METER USB Cable driver should install automatically. However if it does not, you must
install a driver for the USB Cable Adapter (UCA) before you can use it to communicate with
your logger. You can find the driver installer on your ECH2O System software USB drive or on
METER's website at metergroup.com.
3.3 CONFIGURING IN ECH20 UTILITY
Before field installation, the Em50 needs to have certain parameters set, such as name, date,
time, measurement interval, and communication mode. The Em50R and the Em50G do not
communicate wirelessly until properly configured. Follow steps 1 through 6 to configure the
logger.
1. Open the ECH20 Utility program.
2. Plug the USB cable (included with your Em50) into the logger COM port and then the USB
port of your computer.

3. At the top of the screen, select the appropriate COM port from the "Connect Via" drop-
down menu, then click on the Connect icon. If you are using the USB Cable Adapter, look
for the Connect Via option that includes "METER UCA" in the COM port name.
NOTE: If you cannot connect to your Em50, you may need to install the driver for the USB cable. To download a
driver go to metergroup.com.
4. Once you have successfully connected, the menus on the main screen become active.
5. At the device setup screen that appears, click on the various fields to enter a name for
your logger and choose sensor types for each port.
When using the Em50R, select the radio settings you plan to use (Section6). Click
"Apply" to save the changes. When using the EM50G, select your communication
configurations (Section4).
6. Press the "Disconnect" icon when finished.
