    (6) - Terminal board Fig. 1 – Instrument description. On the ALIEM frontal side are located the 4-buttons keyboard (5), reserved for the use of LSI LASTEM staff, the LEDs that indicate the operating status of the instrument, and the terminal board with removable screw connectors for the connection of sensors, power supply and external devices.

    The drop resistance, indicated by Rx, is used to return a voltage signal from the current generated by the sensor. Program 3DOM supplies a library for the setting of the LSI LASTEM sensors, including some powered outputs; for such models the settings have been arranged to use the energized scale -300÷1200 mV, thus being able to use 50 Ω...

    For its functioning it requires the dedicated power supply or a photovoltaic module with the proper battery. For the mechanical installation see the documentation provided with the equipment. LSI LASTEM SRL INSTUM_03766 Page 13 / 32...
  • Page 14: 3Dom Software

    ALIEM – User manual 4 3DOM software 3DOM is the LSI LASTEM’s configuration software for the E/R/M/S-Log, Pluvi-ONE, Alpha-Log and ALIEM in- struments. In Alpha-Log, it allows the user to: • Create and modify the configurations. • Send and receive the configurations through different kinds of connection.
  • Page 15: Configuration

    If the factory configuration does not suit your usage wish, use the 3DOM software to customize ALIEM. This operation requires the instrument to be connected to a PC with 3DOM software installed (see §4). For more information about the configuration of ALIEM, refer to the 3DOM manual.

    6.2 Use of the keyboard The keyboard consists in four buttons: two of them are directional and the other two are functional. Its use is reserved for LSI LASTEM personnel. 6.3 Operating status LEDs On ALIEM’s front panel are some LEDs that indicates the instrument operative status: Err/Ok e Tx/Rx.

    The measure that samples the water level; • The filling-up start time (it’s recommended the automatic filling-up programmed in the morning, before the sunrise, in order to avoid temperature changing that could alter the evaporation measure); LSI LASTEM SRL INSTUM_03766 Page 20 / 32...
  • Page 21: Start Precipitation Alarm

    To the threshold values can be applied a further hysteresis value; this can avoid continuous alarm state changes in case the measure value moves nearly around the threshold value. The comparison logics are the following: LSI LASTEM SRL INSTUM_03766 Page 21 / 32...

  • Page 26: Maintenance

    ALIEM does not require particular maintenance if installed according to what is described in §0. However, it’s recommended that LSI LASTEM staff performs a periodic inspection of the entire system (ALIEM and the sensors connected), in order to detect and fix possible measurement errors.
