Programming the ISDL-2400 Data Logger

Programming Overview

During normal operation, the IDSL-2400 Wireless Data
Logger communicates automatically over the wireless
network with Soil Manager. There may also be times when
system settings or confi guration changes have to be made
locally at the Data Logger. The programming dial on the
front panel provides access to a variety of programming
functions, such as setting date and time, confi guring
sensors, or upgrading fi rmware.
The ISDL-2400 operates normally with the dial in the
Auto Sensor or Auto Basic position. Data consisting of
soil measurements from the sensors and system status
information (such as radio MAC address, battery voltage
and wireless link quality) are sent to the Central Control
Software (Soil Manager) at regular intervals.
When the dial is in any other switch position, radio
communication with the network continues but current
real-time sensor data is not sent to the Soil Manager. After
completing any programming function, the dial should be
set to Auto Sensor or Auto Basic to ensure proper system
operation. The ISDL-2400 also consumes less power when
set to an Auto position. Alerts are generated at the Soil
Manager when the ISDL-2400 is not in an Auto position.
NOTE: If the ISDL-2400 is not powered on, open the
front panel. Set the internal power switch to ON and
close the front cover. The "Please wait while the SD
card is scanned..." screen is briefl y displayed. After 60
seconds the LCD goes into a "sleep" mode to conserve
battery power- press any button to see the display.
After 10 seconds the backlight feature disappears.
