EM50G CELLULAR COMMUNICATION
ECH20 Utility offers a "Communication Test" feature that allows you to evaluate the quality
of the cellular network coverage where you plan to install the Em50G. This allows you to
evaluate the cellular coverage before installing your logger. Repositioning your logger a short
distance may improve your cellular coverage.
For measurement site planning, it may also be useful to consult the network coverage tools
offered by each carrier. Please contact METER for specific questions about the cellular
coverage offered by our partner networks.
5.4 EM50G CONFIGURATION AND SETTINGS
The Em50G uploads data to METER Data Service right out of the box. To start logging and
uploading data, configure your logger with the type of sensors installed in each port and turn
on sensor logging by choosing a measurement interval. The Em50G uploads data according
to the default schedule (uploading between 6-7 AM, 10-11 AM, 1-2 PM, 4-5 PM each day).
Figure9 Em50G Cellular Configuration Window
Use ECH20 Utility to change these default settings. To turn the Em50G cellular network
on, off, or to change the upload times, click the "Configure" button in the "Communication
Option" section. The cellular network is active when you check the "Upload data to
ECH2OData.com" box and is off when you uncheck the box. Choose up to six upload times
that correspond to the times when you want to download the most up-to-date sensor data.
(Figure9) The Em50G uses a random time within the hour to reduce resource loads on the
cellular network and Data Service. To conserve battery power, choose fewer upload times.
NOTE: Please contact METER if your application requires measuring sensors more often than every 5 min or if you
need data uploads more often than six times a day.
