    The Cirrus Loop Logger has been designed to allow for easy installation and setup without the need for a complicated server infrastructure. Setup and management software (CloudWorks) is also supplied free of charge to allow clients to manage their own networks and data. There are no monthly charges for collecting and hosting data as the client can provide this service themselves.

  • Page 8: Connections

    USER MANUAL : CDS552 CIRRUS LOOP LOGGER In order to reset the Bluetooth interface, with the housing open, please follow the below procedure.  Remove all power from the logger - remember to remove the batteries if external power is present.
  • Page 9: External Power Supply / Solar System Connection

    1.7.1 The CDS552 Cirrus Loop logger can be powered entirely from an external 12V (8-15V) 2A power supply or solar power source. Using a solar power source and also populating the logger with alkaline batteries means that the logger can be put into dual mode.
  • Page 10: Using The Pulse Inputs

    USER MANUAL : CDS552 CIRRUS LOOP LOGGER To assist with the powering of loop devices, the Cirrus Loop logger is equipped with an onboard 24V loop power generator. This generator is designed to provide the power for devices that source this directly off the loop. Since the maximum power to flow on a 4-20mA loop, should be 20mA, the generator has been designed to supply a maximum of 30mA.

    USER MANUAL : CDS552 CIRRUS LOOP LOGGER 1.8 Sim card and battery installation The CDS552 Cirrus logger uses a MicroSIM and is installed as follows. 1. Slide the cover plate backwards to unlock. 2. Flip the cover plate up to expose the connections.
  • Page 13: Installation Considerations

    1.9 Installation considerations The CDS552 Cirrus Loop logger is environmentally rated to IP68 - max1.2m. In order to achieve this, it is critical that any cables entering the logger are properly sealed by the IP68 gland. This gland is designed to only have one cable exiting the logger and not multiple ones.
  • Page 14: Logger Setup

    2.1 Setup via Bluetooth Configure The CDS552 Cirrus Loop logger has an onboard Bluetooth interface which allows for the device configuration to be done locally. There are two different places in the software to activate the Bluetooth connection. The first option is from the log in screen at start up.
  • Page 15 USER MANUAL : CDS552 CIRRUS LOOP LOGGER The second option is on the Zone screen by pressing the 'Device Setup' button. Activating this function will launch the Bluetooth Server which will search for the available remote devices in the immediate vicinity.
  • Page 16 Once the Bluetooth connection has been established, Cloudworks will automatically activate the correct configuration screen needed for each device type. This device will immediately be placed into Command Mode and the current setup data retrieved and displayed on the right hand screen.
  • Page 17 USER MANUAL : CDS552 CIRRUS LOOP LOGGER To switch between the Diagnostic Mode and Command Mode, simply press the 'Command/Connect' button. Switching from the Diagnostic Mode to Command Mode can take several seconds depending on what the logger is currently executing.
  • Page 18 USER MANUAL : CDS552 CIRRUS LOOP LOGGER Local IP Local IP address assigned by the GSM network. This data is important when using a static IP system to ensure that the correct IP has been assigned to the logger. Datalog Size Number of records in the datalog/maximum number possible for the selected application type.
  • Page 19 Very important here is the 'Vendor Code'. The Cloudworks System supports multiple databases. What this means is that the server will automatically populate the database that is associated with a specific logger. Each database and logger has a Vendor Code assigned to it.
  • Page 20 Cloudworks loggers support the use of simcard pin codes. How this works is - should a simcard have a pincode activated, it will request the pincode when the modem powers up and starts connecting to the network.
  • Page 21 USER MANUAL : CDS552 CIRRUS LOOP LOGGER Datalog timings are calculated forward from midnight of the day on which they are set. What this means is that if the datalog period is set to 5 minutes for instance, the next log time will be calculated as 5 minute intervals starting from midnight.
  • Page 22 USER MANUAL : CDS552 CIRRUS LOOP LOGGER The second is the 'Heartbeat Time'. This is for powered loggers only. The server will continuously ping the logger at the interval set by this timer. The logger will respond to the ping and the two will remain in communications. Should the logger not receive two heartbeat pings in a row, it will assume there has been a failure in the communications and abort the connection and go back to sleep (battery) or re-establish a connection (powered).
  • Page 23 The Bluetooth interface may be setup with or without access via password. The password used is the Bluetooth Password setup under the General Setup option in CloudWorks. As long as the logger's requested password and the system Bluetooth Password are the same, the connection will be established.
  • Page 24 Upgrading firmware on the logger can be done through the Bluetooth interface. Newer versions of the software for each type of device is embedded into the Cloudworks software so will not need an internet connection to collect the data. When in Command Mode, press the 'Upgrade Firmware' button. The first thing the software will do is to determine the current firmware version on the logger and see if there is an upgrade available.
  • Page 25 USER MANUAL : CDS552 CIRRUS LOOP LOGGER Once the upgrade is complete, the following message will be displayed. Please power cycle the logger and then reconnect the Bluetooth interface if you wish to carry out further configurations. A note about power cycling a logger - when a logger is in battery mode and asleep, disconnecting the battery will not cycle the device.
  • Page 26: Cds552 Cirrus Loop Logger Setup Via Remote Configure

    2.2 CDS552 Cirrus Loop Logger Setup via Remote Configure Once the remote connection has been established, Cloudworks will automatically download the current setup data and display it on the screen. This data can be refreshed at any time by pressing the 'Refresh' button in the top menu.
  • Page 27 - and pressing ENTER. The logger will then send an SMS to that number. The message should read, 'Hello from Cirrus Loop Logger CDS552 - Device Code xxxxxxxxxx'. The receiving number can then be used to send sms commands to that logger.
  • Page 28: Cds552 Cirrus Loop Logger Setup Via Offline Script Configure

    USER MANUAL : CDS552 CIRRUS LOOP LOGGER 2.3 CDS552 Cirrus Loop Logger Setup via Offline Script Configure Once activated, the correct blank Scripting Editor screen will be displayed, ready for the capture of the settings that need to be altered.
  • Page 29 USER MANUAL : CDS552 CIRRUS LOOP LOGGER Pending commands are those that still need to be executed. Listed also is the response to each command for diagnostic purposes. You can read back the current script to determine its status at any point by pressing the 'Read Script' button.
