Page 5: Foreword
This manual describes the (hardware) installation. OMC-Programmer is used for the necessary software configuration of the OMC-045-II. This manual is useful for system planning, installation and reference on the OMC-045-II. It covers the hardware aspects of the OMC-045-II. We recommend you to read this manual carefully before installation of the OMC-045-II. -
Page 6: Preface
This is difficult or impossible to repair. The OMC-045-II has to be assembled inside a cabin on a DIN rail. In case this cabin is located outside, it has to be IP65. For (near) sea / offshore locations, it must be IP66! It is required to have knowledge of the sensors you would like to connect, since you have to configure them via OMC-programmer. -
Page 7: Description
The needed dimensions to connect all the connectors when the OMC-045-II is connected in the DIN rail are L x W x H 120 x 92 x 55. This is because on the back of the OMC-045-II, there are 2 antenna connectors. -

Page 10: Starting With The Omc-045-Ii
Prior to connecting the data logger to a PC OMC-Programmer must be successfully installed. The setup also installs a driver for the USB virtual comport. If this driver is not present when a OMC-045-II is connected to a PC, conflicts may occur. -
Page 11: Power On For The First Time
Warning: You have to be sure the PC and the OMC-045-II don’t have a power difference on the ground before the OMC-045-II is connected to a PC through the USB connector.. If this is the case, this has first to be solved before connecting and using the USB connector. These power differences can damage the OMC-045-II. -

Page 14: Safety
When the fuse melts it needs to be replaced with a “5A T 230 V 5 X 20” type. If the OMC-045-II is power with 3.6 Volt, then it is secured by a SMD fuse. If the SMD fuse is defect, it has to be replaced by the service department of Observator Instruments. -
Page 15: Transport And Storage
10 – 30 °C The OMC-045-II is delivered in a protecting box. It has to be kept in the box until it gets placed. Storage and transport is only carried out, when the OMC-045-II is in the protecting box. When the OMC-045-II is... -

Page 18: To Put In Use
Disconnect all sensors and reconnect one by one to find the problem. Configure the OMC-045-II with the OMC-Programmer. You can read how to configure the OMC-045-II by looking in the help files (via [F1]). An USB connection between the PC and de OMC-045-II is needed for these instructions When configuring the OMC-045-II the power consumption can change. -
Page 19: Controlling And Usage Of The Data Logger
The “data logger’ is controlled / configured by OMC-Programmer. Through this program, you can control the OMC-045-II if it is working and read the actual values of the sensors. You need an USB connection between the OMC-045-II and the PC for this. -
Page 20: Working Of The Scheduler
6.2 Working of the scheduler 6.2.1 Synchronization The scheduler plans the tasks of the OMC-045-II, with use of a real time clock. All tasks are synchronized with this clock. If a task has to be preformed every 10 seconds, the task will preformed on 00, 10, 20, 40, 50 s of the clock. -
Page 21: Scheduling Input Task
Depending on the system, if it is in “Alarm mode” or not, the interval of the task is synchronized with the clock of the OMC-045-II. There are no timeouts on an output task. Timeouts are only copied from an input task. -
Page 22: Operating Mode
OMC-045-II 6.3 Operating Mode It is possible to optimize the currents from the OMC-045-II, through the “operating mode”. There are three parts that can be optimized, these are: System, Sensor and Modem. These can be configured separately to “Full power” mode or to “Low Power” mode. -
Page 23: System Tasks
The modem makes it possible to send data over an FTP or Mail connection, if there is an external call. For the OMC-045-II the same handling can be used as through the USB connection. The system can be controlled on functioning through the modem. -
Page 24: Pc Communication
Completing SD card All data that will be written on the SD card, is first buffered on the OMC-045-II. The system controls periodically if new data has to be send to the SD card from the SD buffer. In case there is no activity for 250 ms, when the data is send to the SD card, the data still in the buffer is written away to the SD card for safety reasons. -
Page 25: Log File
OBSERVATOR Technical User Manual Instruments OMC-045-II 6.5 Log File The Log file on the SD card is written in ASCII signs. There are several different line types. In the appendix is an example of the log of the SD card. -
Page 26: Sending The Log File
FTP idle time no data is been send to the FTP server. If the timeout time is set on 2 min and the OMC-045-II only finds X and S records in that time, it goes wrong. These messages only have header information. -
Page 27: Input Drivers
OBSERVATOR Technical User Manual Instruments OMC-045-II 6.8 Input drivers The input drivers get data from the sensors. Analog and digital sensors can both be read. If a heating time or engaging time is necessary, it can be programmed in the switched voltage output by means of a “Power delay”. -
Page 28: Serial Sensors
NMEA MWV message is supported, with and without checksum. The control is on the “Valid” flag and the unit on which the speed is displayed. In the processor the OMC-045-II calculates with m/s, so the unit’s knopen and KM are calculated back to m/s. Also, if present, it controls the checksum field and the validation flag. -

The OMC-045-II falls in sleep Possible causes. The OMC-045-II can be configured to work on a later time. If the programmed date and time isn’t reached yet, it will go to sleep. This is recognizable, because the LED will blink every 8 seconds. -
Page 41: Maintenance En Cleaning
Replacing the SIM card 8.1 Configuration via HyperTerminal When you have started up OMC-045-II, you’ll have to type ‘Ctrl A’ then ‘Shift R’ then ‘Ctrl D’, to enter the modem configuration. Explanation: to send Ctrl A you hold the Ctrl key and type ‘a’ so it is a two key combination. -
Page 42: Environment And Disposal
The OMC-045-II is manufactured in compliance with the RoHS directive (Reduction of Hazardous Substances) EU directive 2002/95/EC, which means in popular terms that the product is “lead free”. When the OMC-045-II is taken out of service, dispose the OMC-045-II in accordance to the local regulations at the time the product is disposed. -
