Equipment
The Consibio H2S solution consists of all the equipment and accessories needed to install a H2S monitoring system:
- Logger WD-68 battery-driven cellular datalogger
- Consibio H2S sensor v3
- Eyebolt for mounting
1. Activate Deploy Mode
The first thing to do when arriving on the site of installation is to activate Deploy Mode on the Logger:
- Press “Restart” shortly
-
Hold “Deploy Mode” for approximately 5s.
When the LEDs flash quickly one at a time in a repeating pattern, Deploy mode is activated.
For the next 1 hour, the device will make a measurement every 30s and transmit every 5mins.
After 1 hour, it will revert to the transmission and measurement interval configured in Consibio Cloud.
We activate this as the first step to make the Logger start connecting immediately, where it will scan the local network operators and select the most optimal one. On the first attempt, this can take some minutes.
2. Mounting instructions
2.1 Mount the Logger
Mount the Logger just below the manhole cover using the eyebolt and carabiners. This ensures optimal cellular reception and easy access for battery swaps.
Fasten the Logger to the eyebolt using the carabiners included with the Logger:
2.2 Mount and connect the H2S sensor
Mount the sensor with the pre-mounted cable hanger with carabiner on the bottom bar of the Logger WD-68:
Connect the sensor to one of the Logger's sensor connectors. You can see in Consibio Cloud under the given device, which port the sensor is configured to. The standard is port A.
3. Verify installation and data quality
After installation is done, put the manhole cover back on and wait 5 minutes.
We activated Deploy mode in the first step, so the Logger will attempt to connect every 5 minutes. Before leaving the site, you should verify that the Logger transmits correctly through the manhole cover so its important to wait for long enough to verify this.
Go to https://v3.consibio.cloud on a smartphone or laptop, login to your project and check that data is coming in:
If you don’t get a signal after closing the manhole cover, you can install an external antenna.
