ABOUT THE EM50 LOGGER SERIES
2.3.3 EM50 SERIES TEST BUTTON
The Em50 series loggers have a "Test" button to perform basic functionality testing. When
you press the Test button, the logger performs several checks on internal systems and with
the Em50G attempts a communication session over the cellular network. The logger uses the
lights during the test to indicate connection status.
Pressing the Test button may also reset the logger clock by using the time of the cellular
network if the connected network supports time information.
Both the green and red lights blink slowly while the Em50G performs tests. Please be
patient. It can take as many as 60 s or more to finish the cellular communication tests in
theEm50G.
A solid green light indicates that internal tests passed and there is successful
communication over the cellular network to the METER Data Service. The Em50G leaves
the light on for approximately 20 s. A solid red light indicates an error in the logger or in
communicating to the METER Data Service. Please use the Communication Test feature in
ECH2O
®
Utility to find the specific error.
2.4 SOFTWARE
The Em50 series has three software options for working with hardware and collected data.
METER recommends using ECH20 Utility software to set up, configure, and download Excel
®
files directly from your logger. Use ZENTRA Cloud with an Em50G to download data remotely.
Access the latest versions of these programs at metergroup.com.
NOTE: See Section4 for a detailed breakdown of available software for the Em50 series loggers.
ECH2O Utility: ECH20 Utility software is included with the Em50 purchase. It provides a
simple way to connect to and configure your loggers. The ECH2O Utility makes downloading
and processing your data fast and easy.
• Connect to Em50 loggers directly.
• Set all logger configuration parameters.
• Make real-time sensor measurements (scan sensors).
• Create Microsoft
®
Excel
®
or text files with raw or processed data.
• Create configuration and data files for use with DataTrac3.
DataTrac3: DataTrac3 was the legacy Em50 series system software designed to help
organize and visualize measurement data.
ZENTRA Cloud: ZENTRA Cloud is a subscription-based web application that allows you to
remotely view and download data from EM50G devices. See Section4 for more information
on ZENTRA Cloud.
NOTE: Em50 cannot be configured with ZENTRA Cloud; please see Section4 for logger configuration information.
