Section 1 - 2400-A16-Sd-Net Station - Intech Micro 2400-A16-SD-NET Installation Manual

Section 1 - 2400-A16-SD-NET Station.

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY.
Intech Micro Station Programmer Software.
This user friendly, free to download software supports the reading of SD cards on the 2400-A16-SD-NET.
SAFE EJECT.
When the SD card is to be removed from the station, the
button must be pressed first. This allows the station software to close the logging file and write key
information to the file.
Important: If you forget to press the Safe Eject button, DO NOT put the SD card back into the 2400-A16-SD-NET
station as the stored data will be overwritten. Take the SD card and insert into a computer with the Station Programmer
software, as this should be able to repair the card's data.
SD Cards.
Please only use the supplied micro SD cards from Intech Instruments Ltd.
Always handle the SD cards carefully - avoid touching the gold contacts.
The SD software stores the 2400-A16-SD-NET station's serial number in the SD card. When the same SD card is put
back into the same station, the serial number will be recognised and data will be added to the end of the existing data
series. When the SD card is full it will be rolled over (default). If the SD card is inserted into a different station, the soft-
ware will start storing data at the start of the SD data file, overwriting any old data from the previous station.
When the SD card is out of the station, no data is stored in the station.
The SD card stores data records only, not any of the 2400-A16-SD-NET station's configurations.
Memory Details & Store Rates.
1GB = 7858811 samples.
Store rates are selectable from:
1, 2, 5, 10, 15, 20 or 30 seconds,
1, 2, 5, 10, 15, 20 or 30 Minutes,
or 1 Hour max.
Data is stored on the minute for minute rates.
Second rates are stored on the second. (i.e. 5 sec will be 0, 5, 10, 15... seconds. 15 seconds will be 0, 15, 30... seconds.)
Data is NOT averaged during the storage interval, so the stored reading is the value at the time that the sample is taken.
Station Real Time Clock.
The Station time is set by the station programming dialog box. It is set to UTC time and data records are stored using
UTC time. This means that when the data is read out it is converted to the Local Time by the Windows time settings on
the local computer and thus will be automatically converted according to daylight/standard time zones. Battery life for the
real time clock is 5 years typical.

Normal 2400-A16 Station functions.
When the SD mode is being used all other 2400-A16 station functions will operate normally. For example: comms on
PORT 1/2, PLC RTX modes, etc.
Reading SD data via Serial.
When using the Serial mode to read SD data, ONLY ONE COMPUTER CAN READ DATA FROM THE SD CARD.
I.e. It is NOT possible to use the memory software on Port 1 and then connect another computer on Port 2 to read the
same SD data from the same station.
The SD logger is operating normally.
SD card error or flat battery fault. Use software to
determine fault.
The SD card is recording data.
The SD card is not recording.
The SD card is being formatted (creating SD logfile).
The SD card is safe to eject.
The SD card is not safe to eject.
