  • Page 4: Introduction

    OCUMENTATION AND UPPORT OF RODUCT Thank you for choosing a HWM device. We trust it will provide you with many years of service. The “Multilog2WW” device is multi-purpose data logger that can be built and configured to suit a specific application of the device; several versions are available within the logger family.

  • Page 5: Safety Considerations

    1.2 S AFETY ONSIDERATIONS Safety Note: Before continuing, carefully read and follow the information in the “Safety Warnings and Approvals Information” document supplied with the product. This provides general safety information. Retain all documents for future reference. Before using this product, make a risk assessment of the installation site and expected work activity.

  • Page 6: Overview And Preparation For Use

    VERVIEW AND PREPARATION FOR USE 2.1 L OGGER EVICE VERVIEW The Multilog2WW logger family is flexible in design and can be built to suit a variety of uses. An example is shown opposite. Your logger may be different to the one illustrated; several models exist within the Multilog2WW family.

  • Page 7: Preparing A Laptop Pc (Or Similar Device) For Use With Loggers

    The logger devices require a user-interface in order to setup and test the unit. This is provided by means of a HWM software tool which is to be installed onto a Personal Computer (or similar device). The PC must have a USB port and Internet capability (for occasional use).
  • Page 8 If the logger has the feature enabled, it can also be set to occasionally save additional data into a “secondary recording” memory area, (e.g., data sampled at a higher frequency). Note: This is not available on all supplied units and must be arranged through your sales representative before placing an order;...

  • Page 9: Server Integration - Storing And Viewing Data

    Measurement data is initially stored within the loggers, until the next call-in time. The data can then be uploaded to the server using an encrypted format. Typically, the server used to receive and store the data will be a HWM DataGate server, although other servers may be used in conjunction with HWM software.

    2.5.4 Activating the logger / Start recording of logged data When Multilog2WW is shipped from the factory it is put into a “Shipping Mode” (see section 9.3). This mode is designed to preserve its battery life whilst being shipped or in long term storage;...

  • Page 13: Setup And Test Of The Logger / Using Idt

    ETUP AND TEST OF THE OGGER USING The Multilog2WW logger is largely compliant with the general-purpose basic logger functionality described in the IDT User-Guide. Refer to the IDT guide for information regarding setup (or confirmation of setup) of Multilog2WW. e.g. Setup of logger to local time.

    4.2 S UPPORTED NTERFACES (Supplied interfaces are dependent on model part-number) Pressure Inputs: Description 4-pin Connector External Pressure transducer (Options: Standard or High Temperature or High accuracy). 6-pin Connector (As above. Includes ground screen). Coupling Internal Pressure Transducer (Options: 20 bar, 30 bar). (direct) Digital Pulse Inputs: Example Use (Bi Flow)

  • Page 16: Logger Channel Types And Data Interpretation

    For most sensor interfaces, follow the general guidance within the IDT user-guide; the logger complies with the description and examples of setup provided therein. However, some HWM sensors require specialised setup screens or have their own user- guide which provides further guidance.

  • Page 17: Sdi-12 Interface Support

    4.5 SDI-12 I NTERFACE UPPORT The logger SDI-12 interface provides the ability to expand the logger by linking it to other equipment via this serial interface. The external equipment drives any sensor electronics; one or multiple sensors may be attached to it. SDI-12 is a protocol in which the logger can make a request for a sensor reading to the attached equipment.

    It is possible to obtain additional information from the sensor equipment, should it be required. The dimensions of the water channel can be given to it and also the water depth within the channel; from these the unit can calculate the cross-sectional fluid area and average fluid speed.
  • Page 19 The interface will require setup require calibration factors and other setup for the channel regarding what the data actually represents. Refer to IDT user guide for details.

    ETER ULSE CABLE If you are using an open-ended connection cable provided by HWM for connection to a meter interface or pulse unit, then simply connect it to the relevant socket on the data logger. (Note: It will be labelled according to the type of interface, such as Flow input connector on logger.

  • Page 25: Pressure Sensors

    It is important that a waterproof connector housing is used, such as the “Tuff-Splice” enclosure available from HWM. Final Connection Note that Long data connections should always be made using screened cable. The use of screened cable will ensure maximum rejection of interference from outside sources.

    Connect the Plug to the External Pressure interface on the logger. Ensure you feel the ‘Click’ as the connector locks into place. External Pressure input on logger. (For illustration purposes only; Logger shown is not Multiolog2WW) Note: HWM pressure transducer will include a calibration details label.
  • Page 27 Add the details from the calibration label on the cable into the logger using IDT (Refer to the IDT user-guide).

  • Page 28: Viewing Your Data

    IEWING YOUR DATA The logger usually calls into a server, where the data can be stored for the entire deployment period to a site. Site data is best viewed with the viewing tool (usually a website) linked to the server that is used as the data-store.
