1 Introduction Introduction The SePem 01 GSM is a logger that is able to both collect data and to automatically transmit it to the receiver. Data is transmitted using the digital mobile telephone network. The SePem 01 GSM is designed for use in the early detection of leaks in water pipe networks.
Hermann Sewerin GmbH cannot be held responsible for any dam- ages resulting from non-compliance with these instructions. The warranty and liability provisions of the terms of sale and delivery of Hermann Sewerin GmbH are not affected by the information given below.
2 General Intended use The SePem 01 GSM logger is used for the acquisition of mea- surement data. The system is designed for use in stationary monitoring applications for water pipe networks It must only be operated by suitably qualified employees (skilled staff, specialists and technicians) of water supply companies.
CAUTION! All applicable accident prevention regulations must be observed. Do not carry out any modifications to the SePem 01 GSM or otherwise change or tamper with the device in any way. Never open the device. Failure to observe the above instructions will invalidate the warranty.
SePem 01 GSM Equipment required The following items are required for data acquisition using the SePem 01 GSM system: SePem 01 GSM, abbreviated to: GSM Logger (see Section 4) for the acquisition, processing, buffering and transmission of measurement data.
3 Monitoring water pipe networks using the Monitoring water pipe networks using the SePem 01 GSM Monitoring process (overview) The basic procedure for operating a SePem 01 GSM is as fol- lows: Insert the SIM card into the GSM Logger (see Section 6.1) ...
3 Monitoring water pipe networks using the Monitoring water pipe networks using the SePem 01 GSM Data transmission The GSM Logger is fitted with a module that provides data transmission across the digital GSM mobile phone network. The GSM module transmits measurement data acquired and buffered by the GSM Logger at predefined intervals (e.g.
4 GSM Logger - SePem 01 GSM GSM Logger - SePem 01 GSM The SePem 01 GSM (abbr: GSM Logger is a noise logger. It is able to acquire data from a water pipe network and to store this data. Data exchange with the computer is via a mobile phone network.
5 SePem 01 GSM Interface programming unit SePem 01 GSM Interface programming unit The SePem 01 GSM Interface (abbr.: Interface) is a program- ming tool for the GSM Logger. The device allows data to be transferred between the computer and the GSM Logger.
6 Preparing the GSM Logger for use Preparing the GSM Logger for use Inserting the SIM card Every GSM Logger must be fitted with a SIM card before it is used for the first time (not included with the device; see Section 3.1 for requirements).
6 Preparing the GSM Logger for use Programming the GSM Logger Each GSM Logger must first be programmed before it is installed at the measurement location, i.e. data relating to measurement time, measurement duration, etc. must be transferred from the computer to the GSM Logger.
6 Preparing the GSM Logger for use Note: The jack socket screw plug must always be screwed back into place once programming of the Logger is complete. Tighten the screw firmly. 6.2.3 Changing the Logger settings The GSM Logger settings can be changed at any time using the SePem softwareand the Interface (see Section 6.2.2).
7 Installing the GSM Logger at the measurement Installing the GSM Logger at the measurement Suitable attachment points The GSM Logger can be mounted on: Pipes Fittings (slide gates, underground hydrants) The units can be install in water pipe networks constructed from both metal and plastic piping.
7 Installing the GSM Logger at the measurement Attaching the magnet and aerial to the GSM Logger There are several possible configurations for attaching magnets and aerials to the housing. Local conditions at the measurement location must always be taken into consideration when selecting a particular type of attachment.
7 Installing the GSM Logger at the measurement If the magnet is attached to the retaining nut in the guide rail, then it is also possible to slide the magnet up and down until the optimum position for a given measurement location is found. Where the GSM Logger is to be mounted in a horizontal position, the magnet should be screwed onto the guide rail in a position as far as possible from the aerial connector;...
7 Installing the GSM Logger at the measurement Mounting the GSM logger and testing the network connection The GSM Logger is mounted at the measurement location us- ing the magnet. If an aerial adapter is used then the aerial must also be mounted using the magnetic attachment.
7 Installing the GSM Logger at the measurement 7.4.2 Installation procedure Ensure that all preparatory work has been carried out: SIM card inserted; device programmed; magnet and aerial attached. Mount the GSM Logger in various test positions at the mea- surement location.

7 Installing the GSM Logger at the measurement The GSM Logger has been successfully installed when: The test SMS has be transmitted successfully The reception quality was at least ‘Adequate’ Note: The successful transmission of a test SMS only con- firms that the network connection was functioning at the time of the test.
8 Troubleshooting Troubleshooting Troubleshooting Possible sources of problems with the SePem 01 GSM are: Fault with the GSM Logger Quality of the network connection The quality of the network connection may vary considerably. For example, this can be affected by the weather and parked cars. In practice, this means that a network connection may suddenly be lost, even if it has previously been verified using a test SMS.
Is the aerial connector on the logger clean and dry? Moisture will reduce the quality of the network connection. Is the logger fitted with a SEWERIN-approved aerial? Can the Logger be repositioned at the measurement location? Please refer to the instructions in Section 7.3.
