    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).
  • Page 19: Programming The Gsm Logger

    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.
  • Page 20: Changing The Logger Settings

    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 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.
  • Page 23: Aerial And Aerial Adapter

    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.
  • Page 25: Installation Procedure

    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.
  • Page 26 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.
  • Page 27: Troubleshooting

    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.
  • Page 28: Test Sms Does Not Function Correctly

     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.
