Required equipment:

  • Consibio Logger in Rugged Case
  • Consibio H2S sensor
  • Crossbeam (mounting bar)

Overview

1. Mount H2S Sensor on Rugged Case

2. Open crossbeam

3. Mount Logger

4. Adjust crossbeam

5. Wrap up and verify signal

6. Adjust Transmisstion and Measurement Interval

 

Step-by-step

0. Pre-Deployment Setup

  1. Charge the equipment - Ensure all equipment is fully functional and that the logger batteries are charged to at least 90% before deployment.

  2. Configure the Logger

    1. Log in to Consibio Cloud.

    2. Locate your Project and navigate to the “Devices” tab.

    3. Select the relevant logger device.

    4. Set the Max Offline Time and Max Measurement Interval to 4 minutes and 30 seconds, respectively, to ensure timely and consistent data collection during deployment.

    5. If the logger is currently in a sleep cycle, press the physical wake-up button to force a check-in.

 

1. Mount the H2S Sensor on the Rugged Case

Attach the sensor to the Rugged Case using the carabiner. Ensure that the carabiner is securely fastened to prevent the sensor from detaching.

2. Open crossbeam

Open up the crossbeam by unscrewing the wingnut:

 

 

3. Mount Logger

Slide the Consibio Logger, in a rugged case with the H2S sensor, onto the crossbeam:

 

4. Assemble and adjust crossbeam

Adjust the width of the crossbeam to the width of the manhole and fasten the wingnut. The crossbeam should be as wide as possible to ensure that it will not fall off and into the manhole. 

 


5. Place the Manhole Cover Back in Position & Verify Signal

Put the manhole cover back on.

Wait 4–8 minutes, then verify that the logger successfully completes another check-in under the Devices tab.

(If the logger is not able to transmit through the cover use the external antenna)

 

6. Adjust Transmission and Measurement Intervals

To preserve battery life, update the logger settings:

  • Max Offline Time: Set to a more reasonable value (e.g., 1-12 hours)

  • Measurement Interval: Set based on your monitoring needs (e.g., 5–15 minutes for long-term deployments)


 

7. Installation Complete

Congratulations — your installation is now complete!
Sit back and enjoy the data coming in.
