Chapter 1 Overview and Functions Overview 1.1.1 GX70SM Wireless Input Unit The GX70SM is a compact, battery-driven analog input unit that uses 920 MHz specified low power radio. Because it is battery-driven, it can collect data in a variety of locations. It connects to a SMARTDAC+ GX20, GP20, or GM10 coordinator over a multi-hop wireless link, and allows data collection and status display of the GX70SM on the GX20/GP20/GM10.
1.1 Overview Maximum Number of Connections Measurement mode (GX/GP/GM) Normal Model High speed Dual interval Wireless data Wireless data retrieval Off retrieval On GX20-1/GP20-1/GM10-1 GX20-2/GP20-2/GM10-2 * The number of technically possible connections varies depending on the wireless environment condition and the measurement/transmission interval. The wireless data retrieval function can be used when the advanced security function (/AS option) is enabled.

1.2 Functions 1.2.4 Measurement Data Logging Measurement data of each scan interval is sent to the GX/GP/GM as well as saved in the GX70SM as logging data (up to 4500 points or 9000 points (with /DB option) per channel). When the data becomes full, the oldest data is deleted to save new data. Even when an error occurs in the wireless communication with the GX/GP/GM, measurement data is backed up for a certain period.
1.2 Functions 1.2.6 LED Display Configuration and calibration modes, data transmission, and battery status are indicated with green and red LEDs. Battery life can be extended by using a wireless input unit and turning of the LED display. For instructions on how to turn on and off the LED display, see section 2.5, “Configuring the Wireless Settings of the Wireless Input Unit”...

1.2 Functions 1.2.9 Data Dropout Detection (GX/GP/GM) When several GX70SMs perform wireless communication with a single coordinator, there is a slight possibility that data loss may occur due to collision of data transmitted simultaneously from the GX70SMs to the coordinator. In addition, communication errors may occur due to operating environment conditions such as electromagnetic interference from other devices.
Page 24
1.2 Functions 1.2.11 Using the GX70SM as a Standalone Data Logger The GX70SM can be used as a standalone data logger.

1.2 Functions 1.2.14 Enhanced Data Backup Function( /DB option) The logging data has been increased to 9,000 points. Logging data can be retrieved using the Wireless Input Unit Configurator and saved as a wirelessly retrieved data file. If the GX70SM send (scan) interval is five minutes, you can back up data for one month. It also sends the data within the specified range according to the request of the wirelessly retrieved data (missing data) from GX/GP/GM.

4.13 Wireless Data Retrieving (/AS option) (version R4.09 and later) When some GX70SM data is missing from the GX/GP/GM recording data (event data) and it is a one-time incident, the missing data is collected from GX70SM. The collected data is saved in the internal memory and SD card as a wirelessly retrieved data file (GLK file).

4.13 Wireless Data Retrieving (/AS option) (version R4.09 and later) Wirelessly Retrieved Data File This file is created if missing data is found after the start of the GX/GP/GM recording, and if the collection of wirelessly retrieved data is completed during the GX/GP/GM recording. File name The name of the wirelessly retrieved data file is as follows.

4.13 Wireless Data Retrieving (/AS option) (version R4.09 and later) Display of Wirelessly Retrieval Data File Wirelessly retrieved data files can be displayed on the Universal Viewer. They cannot be displayed on GX/GP itself or the Web application (GM10). Operation for media FIFO Media FIFO Action You can save up to 100 wirelessly retrieved data files. If there are more than 100 files, the files are deleted from the oldest one first and new files are saved.
