Status LEDs There are three status LEDs. The green RUN LED is on if the MR3000DMS is active and blinking while the unit is starting up. The yellow DATA LED is on if the MR3000DMS is recording an event. The red ERROR LED indicates if any error or warning occurs on the MR3000. If it blinks slowly, then a warning has been detected, if it is permanently ON (red colour) then an error has been detected.
Opening the Lid WARNING – Static Electricity The MR3000DMS contains CMOS devices and, when serviced, care must be taken to prevent damage due to static electricity. For a security reason, first the MR3000DMS should be disconnected from the AC. Successively you can open the lid and disconnect the fuse in order to protect all the internal components from any wrong manipulations that might occur.

(=channel, e.g. Z vertical), or more. If you consider more than one Axis, you can decide if the MR3000DMS is triggered when all the axes are above the level, or just one of them. You choose it with the AND/OR Logic. A common setting is to consider all 3 axes, and trigger when any of them has reached the trigger level (“OR”).
STA/LTA is a trigger algorithm usually used in the field of weak-motion seismology. The STA/LTA continuously calculates the average values of the absolute amplitude of a seismic signal in two consecutive moving-time windows. The short time window (STA) is sensitive to seismic events while the long time window (LTA) provides information about the temporal amplitude of seismic noise at the site.
Figure 5.1.4. Timed recording interface. 5.1.4. Background recording In background recording mode the DMS records the peak values within a given time window. Please note that event recording is not affected by the peak recording – both services may run simultaneously.
ID contains: • Name of the MR3000DMS (by default this is mr3000, followed by a dash and its serial number). You may change the name, according to your needs (see Section 5.4.1). Comment, for example a description of the location where you have installed the DMS.
Indicators shows the current temperature inside the MR, the input voltage and the uptime (time since the last boot of the system). Figure 5.2.1. Status interface. System In this part, you find all the settings of the different hardware interfaces and software services of the MR3000DMS.

As a second option, you may adjust the clock at once with an NTP server using the Internet connection. In the pop-up windows you have to set-up appropriate NTP servers. Alternatively the time can be set manually, and this works in every situation (i.e. without connection to the Internet).
Figure 5.3.2. Subsection dedicated to the time synchronization in case of mode “Disabled” and mode “Network (NTP)”. 5.3.3. In this subsection, the settings for the Ethernet port (interface for wired connection) are shown. Mode is as follows: DHCP means that the DMS will try to get an IP address by sending DHCP requests. Select this option if you connect the DMS to a network with a DHCP server.
The Netmask is 255.255.255.0 by default, and should remain like this except if you know exactly what you're doing. The Gateway address must be filled if you connect the DMS on a network. This is the IP address of the router. Same thing for the Nameserver.

In Push mode the DMS will push a new event file to the FTP server as soon as recording of the file is done. The current background file may be updated continuously on the FTP server. In User parameters > Advanced settings – see chapter 5.4.8 - you specify how often the current background file is updated on the FTP server.
The MR3000 can be connected to the SCS (Syscom Cloud Software) to easily visualize the data coming from it. The web address of the cloud software is http://scs.bartec-syscom.com. The MR must have internet connection to communicate with the SCS. Please see the related tutorial video “LINK A MR3000 TO THE SCS”...
For any additional information on the SCS cloud software, please refer to the dedicated page on website or visit http://scs.bartec-syscom.com. 5.3.9. Authentication Here you can change the password of the DMS. The password is used for the WebUI access and for the SFTP service (see chapter 4.3.1).
“Upgrade from files”. If the extension .txt is automatically added by your operating system (e.g. Windows), the please delete it. Figure 5.3.10. Subsection dedicated to the Upgrade. NOTE: It is recommended to upgrade the MR3000 at the end of a monitoring session. Please contact support@bartec-syscom.com for further clarifications.
5.3.11. Maintenance Here you may generate a report of the system to make further investigations in case of trouble. The report is automatically downloaded to your PC. NOTE: The log files and other variables used to generate the Diagnostic report are in volatile memory, do not switch of the DMS before the report is generated.
Figure 5.3.12. Subsection dedicated to the import of user parameters. 5.3.12. Sensor Inside the current section, there is one subsection dedicated to the sensor of the MR3000DMS, which is an internal triaxial accelerometer. Inside this section, the sensor model, the type, unit of measure and the serial number are indicated.
With modify settings you can modify the unit of measure of the sensor. It is possible to select metric or imperials units, in particular mg (default value) or m/s2 or in/s2. NOTE: if you do not want to change the settings please click on CANCEL, because otherwise the MR will reboot.
Higher sampling rates accumulate more data and create larger files. In the MR3000DMS there is a band-pass trigger filter on the data between 0.5 and 15 Hz. This means that en event is created only if both the conditions are fulfilled: the trigger level is exceeded;...
Figure 5.4.2. Subsection dedicated to system acquisition. 5.4.3. Alarm The alarm service checks if the vibration exceeds the defined alarm threshold levels. In this case, the notification service of the MR3000 sends an e-mail to the people listed in contacts where Alarm 1 or Alarm 2 have been checked (see chapter 5.4.4).
Page 62
It is possible to define two levels of alarms: alarms 1 and alarm 2. They can be configured completely independently. In the field “Based on”, the alarm can be activated on the trigger or on the background recording. In the following, let us analyze the two situations separately. Trigger recording Figure 5.4.3 shows the possibilities for the choice of the alarm limit, when the alarm has been selected on the trigger recording.

points for each channel. A maximum number of 8 points can be set for each channel. Moreover, each channel can be set completely independently, meaning that X can have 2 points, Y can have 4 points and Z no points. The button “Restore” allows to reset the name and the values defined. NOTE: If an alarm is defined on a user-defined norm, it is not possible to set the trigger value higher than the alarm threshold.
Page 64
If the user defined norm is activated, in the section Start → Background recording, a mode including the dominant frequency must be also activated (Subsection 5.1.4). Figure 5.4.6. Configuration of the alarms causing a warning. Figure 5.4.7. a) Setting of the background recording; b) Warning message caused by the definition of the alarm as in Fig.
NOTE: A configuration like in Fig. 5.4.6 is not correct because the MR3000 is not able to save the vector sum and the dominant frequency at the same time (Subsection 5.1.4). For example, if the option “Peak + Dominant Frequency” has been selected, then a warning indicating that Alarm 1 cannot happen is shown (Fig.
