X2 - BASE RADIO DATA LOGGER
QUICK START GUIDE
IMPORTANT - BEFORE FIELD DEPLOYMENT: Completely configure new X2 systems with sensors and a direct connec-
tion to the CONNECT software in a nearby work area. Operate the system for several hours and ensure correct sensor
readings. Use this test run to become familiar with the features and functions.

Overview

The direct connect X2 base radio system includes an
integrated radio module for connection with a host of
field radio nodes. Three sensor ports provide industry
standard protocols including SDI-12, RS-232, and RS-485.
The center port offers direct communication (serial to
PC) and power input. Smartphones and tablets connect
by WiFi.
Base radio connection is established through direct con-
nection with the CONNECT software. Data is accessed
and stored on the WQData LIVE web datacenter. An
easy-to-use dashboard and built-in sensor library auto-
matically facilitate setup and configuration.
