  • Page 9: Introduction

    SymphoniePLUS3 data logger is part of the world’s most advanced Internet enabled data logger system. SymphoniePLUS3 stores data on an SD card. With an iPack or iPackGPS, you can send data via your Internet provider over an embedded standard, satellite, or cellular phone. You receive an email with an attached data file at a chosen interval.

  • Page 10: Using This Manual

    SymphoniePLUS3 Set-up Overview SymphoniePLUS3 is a very flexible system for collecting data. When used as a standalone unit, data files are retrieved manually through regular site visits. When used in conjunction with an iPack for communication, data files are delivered to users as email attachments.

  • Page 11: Theory Of Operation

    Ethernet based iPackACCESS is suitable for windfarm reference towers which require real time and statistical data for SCADA networks. The SymphoniePLUS3 logger has a fixed averaging interval of 10 minutes. Each of the 15 channels’ averages, standard deviations, and other statistical values are calculated from continuous 1 second data samples.
  • Page 12  Wiring panel provides additional electro-static damage (ESD) protection for each input channel.  SymphoniePLUS3 runs on two alkaline D-cells (included) for up to one year, depending on sensor configuration.  iPack kits for CDMA cellular, GSM cellular, and satellite communications provide remote data collection via e-mail.

  • Page 13: Precautions

    Transferring data from the SD card to your PC Grounding Whenever coming in contact with the SymphoniePLUS3 logger, either in the field or indoors, it is good practice to first grasp a piece of grounded (earthed) metal to avoid a potentially damaging electrostatic discharge (ESD) to the logger.

  • Page 14: Recharging The Ipack Battery

    Understanding the assignment of site numbers is the single most important step in setting up a wind assessment system. The SymphoniePLUS3 logger system requires that you assign a unique site number to each logger site. The assigned site number must stay with the site even if the tower, sensors, and logger are dismantled and moved to another location.

    Unpacking the SymphoniePLUS3 Logger System Follow standard precautions for handling electronic components when unpacking the SymphoniePLUS3 logger. Discharge static electricity from your body by touching a piece of grounded metal or wearing a ground strap. Do not remove the brown desiccant pack from the clear plastic package at this time. During the field installation procedure, you will remove the clear wrapper and place the desiccant pack inside the logger enclosure to keep it dry.

    NRG USER MANUAL SymphoniePLUS3 User Guide Setting and Verifying Logger Units (Imperial or SI) Sensor lists are used to configure each channel of the logger. There are two internally-stored factory- loaded sensor lists, one with scale factors in Imperial units and one with scale factors in SI (metric) units.
  • Page 26 NRG USER MANUAL SymphoniePLUS3 User Guide Use the arrow buttons to scroll through each channel to review current settings and make changes as needed. If a channel isn’t listed, it means there is no SCM currently installed for that channel and it is therefore inactive.
  • Page 27 -> Units The SymphoniePLUS3 Logger may be set to use “mixed” units – that is, one can use SI units for some channels and Imperial units for others. Additionally, the units for each channel do not need to match the units that have been set for site elevation (altitude) and sensor height.

    OFFICE TESTING Why It’s Important Office testing your SymphoniePLUS3 system prior to installation in the field will save you time and money. Internet access capabilities rely on perfect coordination between iPack, cellular phone, and ISP settings – if these are not set up correctly, the system will not work. Troubleshooting is much easier in the comfort of an office than in the field, where a variety of factors can cause problems.
