7.5.5.2 Parameterization of the EK280 for operation with an DM130
i
For parameterization of the EK280 for use with an EM260/analog modem you need a connection
cable for the optical interface as well as the enSuite program. enSuite can be downloaded free of
charge from the Honeywell website in the "Software Downloads" section:
www.elster-instromet.com/en/software-downloads
a) Closing the time window
For the parameterization to work correctly, time windows 1 to 6 must be connected. To do this:
− Connect a PC or laptop with enSuite installed to the EK280 optical interface using the connection
cable.
− Start enSuite and establish the communication link to the EK280 via the optical interface ( chapter
3.1).
− To do this, select "Navigation" on the left-hand side and then
the navigation window.
− In the top of the device window open the path "Parameter" > "Interfaces" by clicking on the relevant
plus signs, and then select
− In the call windows 1 to 6, set start and end to the same value and then select click the
changes to device" icon at the top edge of the enSuite window.
− Then wait a minute, for any communications activity in progress on the EK280 to be safely stopped
b) Send parameter file
− Send the following parameter file to the EK280 ( chapter 3.6):
EK280_xvx.. - DM130 (*)
c) Setting time window for potential data queries
i
Before the first opening of a time window, the DM130 must be connected to the EK280
( chapter 7.5.1.1) and the parameters be set ( chapter 7.5.1.3)!
In the base configuration now displayed you can define time windows, during which data can be retrieved
cyclically from the EK280 via the modem. There are two available time windows, which operate on EK280
battery power only and for versions of the EK280 with power supply there are two more which operate only
on mains voltage.
i
Make the battery power time windows only as long and frequent as absolutely necessary. Each
time window reduces the EK280's battery life.
The preset time windows are not directly included in the calculation of expected battery life of the
Bat.R EK280 batteries. Therefore the expected battery life is not updated, when the time
windows are changed. However, past time windows and data transfers are used in the remaining
capacity calculation
39 The "x" stands for the software version on the device, e.g. "1v0".
The star * stands for a small letter which indicates the version of the file, e.g. "a".
