DL2 Data Logger and DeltaSol Controller -
This document is intended as a quick guide to setting up Splash Monitoring with Resol controllers and assumes your
controller is already connected to the solar sensors and programmed according to your requirements. For more details on
the DL2 Data Logger please see the manual on the CD labelled 'Service Center Software' provided with the DL2: Right-
click on the CD ROM icon in the 'My Computer' window and select 'Explore', then navigate to 'Docs/DL2' and double-click
on the file 'DL2.monen.pdf'.
Installation Guidelines
We have found that the most reliable long-term results are achieved when the Streambox, DL2 and their respective power
supplies are installed well away from daily operational areas. The problem is that the loss of the Splash Monitoring service
is not immediately obvious, so it can be many days or weeks before someone realises that their system is not being
updated. We are in the process of developing a mechanism to detect the loss of communication which optionally sends an
email alert to one or more nominated recipients, but it is always prudent to minimise the risk of disruption by following these
guidelines:
If possible install the equipment and power supplies well away from daily operational areas such as someone's desk
or work bench.
Try and secure the equipment by attaching it to a wall or shelf with screws, Velcro or double sided tape. This should
prevent it from slipping and becoming disconnected.
Always secure the STREAMbox power cord to the STREAMbox using the P clip supplied. The P clip should be
located on the back of the STREAMbox using one of the existing jack posts, as illustrated:
Always ensure the LAN cables you use are in sound condition with their retaining clips intact, and make sure they are
securely fitted to the equipment by giving them a gentle tug.
Always ensure that all cables are secured using cable ties to protect them from accidental snagging.
Never stretch cables to the point where any movement could cause them to become dislodged.
Always install the STREAMbox with the ridged heat sink outwards and the side vents unobstructed. It doesn't matter
what orientation is used; horizontally on its bottom (the flat black surface); or vertically on its side.
The equipment and power supplies will be labelled 'DO NOT SWITCH OFF', but you should inform people with
access to the installation area that this equipment should not be turned off; for example cleaning and maintenance
personnel.
