  • Page 4: Introduction

    The Cypress Envirosystems Wireless Gauge Reader, WGR, is designed to read manual gauges and transmit the data to a PC or data acquisition system. The WGR is designed to be non-invasive. It is attached over the face of an existing analog gauge, as shown below. Each WGR comes with an adapter that is sized for the gauge it is reading.

    For example, a gauge could be mounted sideways on a system, but the WGR could be positioned upright for easier reading. Once the WGR is in position, it is secured in place for calibration. The range of the gauge, units of measure, and any offsets are entered into the WGR. The WGR is calibrated by a trained installation technician, and ready for use.

    Routine data collection Whenever the WGR is on, it samples based on the routine data collection rate. This rate is between 0 and 65535 seconds, or approximately 18 hours. This value is defined by the user, and can be changed at the WGR.
  • Page 11: Accessing Node Identification Data

    Accessing Node Identification Data Each WGR has a unique NODE ID identifier. This NODE ID is a value between 0 and 255 and is used to identify the data within the database and the web interface. The NODE ID is assigned when the WGR is configured.
