SOFTWARE AND CONFIGURATION
Name: Each Em50 device should have a unique name. The default name is the unit serial
number. You can change this to any legal name you want. A legal device name uses upper
and lower case letters, numbers, underscores, and hyphens. Spaces and most punctuation
are not legal name characters. ECH20 Utility prevents you from choosing a name containing
illegal characters.
Serial Number: When set in the factory, this is a read-only value.
Measurement Interval: The Em50 and Em50R loggers allow you to select a measurement
interval between 1 and 1,440 min while the Em50G allows you to set a measurement interval
between 5 and 1,440 min. A measurement interval of zero (0) or "off" stops the logger from
making measurements.
Port Sensor: The Em50 requires you to identify the sensor type for each of the five sensors.
Cellular Settings: To turn the cellular network of the Em50G on or off, click the "Configure"
button in the "Communication Option" section. The cellular network is active when "Upload
data to ECH2OData.com" box is checked and is off when the box is not checked. The
Em50G is uploading data to the METER Data Service (on) by default. See Section5 for more
information on the Em50G.
Choose up to six upload times. Default upload times are: 6-7 AM, 10-11 AM, 1-2 PM, 4-5 PM.
To conserve battery power, choose fewer upload times. The Em50G high data use logger
allows you to transmit data every 15 min.
Click Ok after making configuration changes. Click Apply to save communication settings in
your Em50G. Your current settings show up in the communications option field.
ECH20 Utility helps you evaluate the quality of the cellular connection on your Em50G with
the Communication Test feature. Please see Section5 for a step-by-step guide to running the
Em50G Communication Test.
Radio Settings: Only devices that have a radio module support these options (Em50R,
DataStation). See Section6 for more information on using the radio settings.
4.2.2 DOWNLOADING DATA WHEN DIRECTLY CONNECTED
Once you properly configure and install the Em50, it is ready to begin making and storing
sensor measurements. Stored data can be downloaded from the logger starting at two
places in the logger memory. The "Download New" option downloads the data stored since
the last successful download. The "Download All" option downloads all the data currently
stored in the Em50. The "Download" button on the toolbar corresponds to the Download New
option. Any model of Em50 data logger supports downloading data when directly connected
to the logger with ECH2O System software.
