Page 5: Introduction
Intelligens is designed for use in potentially explosive atmospheres, being an ‘intrinsically safe’ logger device. It is the responsibility of the installer to correctly specify and install the Intelligens in conjunction with other equipment, making the appropriate checks for safety markings and suitability for inter-connection of the equipment. -
Page 6: Safety Considerations
AFETY ONSIDERATIONS The Intelligens is an intrinsically safe logging device, designed for use within potentially explosive atmospheres. When installed in such an environment, Intelligens is required to be connected to other compatible devices that are approved for use within potentially explosive atmospheres. -

2.2. ESI (E XTERNAL ENSOR NTERFACE UNIT The Intelligens logger can be extended with an ‘External Sensor Interface’ unit (see Figure 7). (To provide atmospheric pressure compensation, a breather vent option may be included along with a desiccant Connection to for drying the air). -
Page 13: Esib (External Sensor Interface With Battery) Unit
For other models, which have a part-number beginning with “ESIB/”, refer to section 11 and 11.3. The Intelligens logger can be extended using one or more of the “ESIB” units (External Sensor Interface with Battery). This is a family of devices (see Figure 9) which primarily act as a battery power source. - Page 14 ‘MODBUS INPUT (ESI)’. • Note: Despite the labelling difference, the ‘SDI-12’ and ‘Modbus’ inputs on the Intelligens logger are identical; They are converted to the same digital interface to the logger. For setup purposes, IDT will regard them both as a ‘serial input’.

This version of ESIB unit has a connector labelled “INPUT, 4-20mA” (or similar). This is suitable for use with an appropriate (and compatible) cabled sensor which uses an industry-standard 4-20mA signalling scheme. The ESIB unit provides power to the sensor from its own internal battery. However, the power is controlled by the main logger unit, which signals to pre-power the sensor a short time before a measurement is needed and deactivate it when not in use. -

(Enquire to your HWM representative if you have any requirements regarding a new type of sensor). 2.3.3. : SDI-12 ERSION This version of ESIB unit plugs into an interface in the main logger labelled “SDI-12 INPUT (ESI)”. Note: The connector on the main logger unit is not SDI-12, but a proprietary multi-purpose interface, sometimes referred to as ‘ESI’. - Page 18 The ESIB unit provides power to the sensor from its own internal battery. However, the power is controlled by the main logger unit, which signals to pre-power the sensor a short time before a measurement is needed and deactivate it when communication with the sensor is completed. Refer to the IDT user-guide and the sensor documentation for guidance on setting the IDT control for sensor pre-power.

Page 19: External Battery Pack (Option)
2.4. E XTERNAL ATTERY OPTION Most Intelligens models have a connector that allows an ATEX-approved External Battery to be connected. The battery provides the logger with additional power capacity. An example battery pack is shown in Figure 11. Always use a compatible ATEX Battery Pack supplied by HWM that has been approved for use with the Intelligens logger. -
Page 20: Enhanced Logging (Options)
OGGING OPTIONS Section 2.5 gave a description of logger operation that is available as standard on Intelligens logger models; The logger normally samples data at the set sample period, and records datapoints at the set log period. However, certain models offer options for making additional recordings (of logged data) at higher-than-normal sampling rates. -
Page 21: Server Integration - Storing And Viewing Data
NTEGRATION TORING AND IEWING The Intelligens logger includes an interface (referred to as a modem) that provides access to the internet via the cellular mobile communications network. A SIM card is used to give access to the network. Measurement data is initially stored within the logger, until the next call-in time. The data can then be uploaded to the server using an encrypted format. -
Page 22: Installation Accessories
The DataGate server can also forward any alarms received from the logger to all users that have subscribed to them; one logger alarm message can therefore be distributed to multiple DataGate users. DataGate can also (by arrangement with your sales representative) be used to export logger data to other servers. -
Page 23: Communications Interfaces And Programming Cables
2.9. C OMMUNICATIONS NTERFACES AND ROGRAMMING ABLES To communicate with the Intelligens logger, an ATEX-approved programming cable is required. E.g. part-number COMMS USB/IS or COMMS-Y USB/IS. The in-line COMMS BOX contains safety barrier components. It is required for ATEX compliance. -

‘immediately’). Most Intelligens loggers are set to start ‘immediately’ upon having their settings read by IDT and then saved back to the unit. (Refer to the IDT user-guide for the steps required to read the logger program and then to save it back to the unit using the ‘Setup Device’... -
Page 25: Installation
Check that all equipment is suitable for use at the installation site (e.g., ATEX markings). This • must include the main Intelligens logger unit and any additional units that attach to the Intelligens. Check that you have the required sensors and that these are suitable for use at the installation site. -
Page 26: Installing The Logger
o Where required, undertake the setup of any additional options related to the channel. (e.g., Add an initial meter reading, pulse replication setting, sensor calibration; these will be dependent on sensor and logger use). (Refer to the IDT user-guide for guidance regarding any additional settings related to an interface). -

Page 29: Factory Settings
The External Sensor Interface is used to connect a compatible cabled pressure sensor to the Intelligens logger. An air-breather option may also be fitted to provide atmospheric pressure compensation (important for lower range transducers). Both pressure and depth versions are available (refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8). -
Page 30: Flow Sensor Input (Meter Pulse Collection)
Your logger must have the correct interface and settings for the signalling from the meter to be compatible with it. The Intelligens logger requires two Flow input signals in order to work with the meter-pulse signalling of certain meters. A pair of inputs can therefore sometimes be configured to work together to operate as a single channel. - Page 31 (open = forward flow, closed = reverse flow). This differs from (2) in that two output channels (datapoint streams) are produced. One records the forward flow. The other records the reverse flow. The Intelligens can be fitted with up to 2 input pulse (flow) signal pairs. MAN-142-0001-P...
