FAQ AREXX MULTI LOGGER

What is a logger?

A logger receives sensor data for a given period of time by wireless channels.

Our Multi logger periodically - every 45 seconds - registers e.g. temperature,

humidity, voltages or other parameters and displays these values in a

graphical representation. The considerable number of values allows the

system therefore that a few values may have been missed.

What do we need to build an AREXX Multi logger system?

Three important items are necessary to build a Multi logger system;

- a receiver (BS-510, BS-1000 or e.g. the TL9-ALU)

- one or more sensors (AREXX TSN- or the PRO-series)

- the AREXX logger software

The BS-500 / BS-1000 system does not work?

- start by checking if the Data Receive LED blinks occasionally

- did you correctly plug in, respectively connect the USB-cable?

- did you check and correctly connect the polarity (+ and -) of the

external 5 Volt voltage?

- has the driver been installed correctly?

I have problems with the BS-510 or BS-1000 driver

Check the entry of RF-USB in the management for Devices and Printers

(START  CONFIGURATION display  DEVICES & PRINTERS).

Repeat the driver's install procedure; Be careful to connect the device only

after a request by the installation software!

FAQ AREXX MULTI LOGGER What is a logger? A logger receives sensor data for a given period of time by wireless channels. Our Multi logger periodically - every 45 seconds - registers e.g. temperature, humidity, voltages or other parameters and displays these values in a graphical representation. The considerable number of values allows the system therefore that a few values may have been missed.

The receiver is listed in the device management, but the sensor list does not contain any sensor. The Data Receive LED does not blink. Three possible problems can be the result of this situation: o The sensors do not transmit any signal  check the batteries (for polarity and voltage) o The sensors have not been positioned inside the receiver's range  position the sensor(s) next to the receiver  The receiver does not work properly  exchange the receiver for a new one.

The sensors display different values although they are located next to each other. The sensors may all be working with a certain margin. One of the temperature sensors may deviate 0.5 degree upwards and the other sensor may deviate 0.5 degree downwards, which would sum up to a difference of 1 degree! Still both sensors may be working within their tolerance levels and specifications. Other causes for differences may be the local position, draught and the sunlight respectively shadow position of the sensors.

How long will an average battery last? Good lithium cells will allow the sensors to operate circa one year. In colder areas it is possible that this operation time is considerably shorter. What is the difference between BS-500/TL-500, BS-510 and TL-510? The difference can be found in the internal backup battery for the internal clock. All other functionality is 100% equal. The battery will operate the internal clock during a power failure and prevents an (automatic) adjustment to the PC's clock.

How to remove the memory's contents at the BS-510 or BS-1000 (the yellow LED is illuminated) Visit the BS-1000's 'maintenance' page at the menu section 'administrative pages'. In this section you will find a button to reset the flash memory. This command also checks the functionality of the flash memory. How can I check the functionality of the internal memory? We advise to use the flash test at our website. You may also apply the test at the BS-1000's 'maintenance' page (see the previous FAQ).

What is an example for a rule? ($v< 0 || $v> 9) && $i==11867 How to transfer a rule into the BS-500 or BS-1000 receiver? The BS-510 will only work with the pc software and does not allow the uploading of rule files. In this case rules will be defined within the messenger software. The BS-1000/TL-09 may be working independently from the pc software.

Sometimes you will have to wait for a few minutes before you are allowed to login again. The BS-1000 will hold an admin session for 2 minutes. However the system has been programmed to refuse more than one admin session simultaneously. We advise you to use the logout link for leaving the administrative pages. In this case you may login immediately without any delay. Check the IP-address: has the address been modified by the DHCP-server.

How do I set up the system to display data at several laptops/PC's? Use the Sync file config tool in the tool menu of the logger software. The most simple strategy is to link a BS-1000 to the PC (by a network link) and to expand the system from this core system. Connecting the BS-1000 is simplified by using the BS-1000 wizard, in which the logger software is configured - to be followed by an upload of the rule file to the BS-1000.

Can we use sensor data to control external devices? The SAM-04 LAN network I/O relais box enables you to switch off and on devices. The SAM directly can communicate with the BS-1000. This option allows you to directly use the logger's data to control external devices. The complete system, BS-1000 and the SAM, can also be surveyed and controlled from a remote website.
