Mount the iSIC box to a wall using the A55 mounting plate. It may be attached using the included hardware. First attach the plate to the back of the iSIC box using the (4) ¼-20 X ¾” bolts and then secure the mounting plate to the support surface. It can be attached to a pole […]
An MS2 connector is used to supply power to an iSIC Data Logger. It has two openings – one for power and the other for ground. An MS2 connector can be found on the A11 float charger (power adapter) and the solar panels of iSIC MAST systems. The port which connects the MS2 connector […]
1. Refer to the appropriate data logger category for instructions on connecting directly to the iSIC Data Logger or SDL500 that is being used. 2. In iChart, click Advanced | iSIC | iSIC. The iSIC Setup window will appear. 3. Enter the correct COM Port (Check the Port on the Device Manager by clicking Start | Right-click […]
In order to collect data from an iSIC that is connected to another iSIC, pass-through settings must be made in iChart. This article assumes an iChart project file and data loggers have already been programmed. 1. Right click on the data logger in the iChart Navigation Panel and select Property. The iSIC Data Logger Communication Properties […]
After repairs or diagnostics, it may be necessary to reinstall an iSIC data logger’s circuit board. 1. Mount the PCB to the mounting plate using (4) M3 x 16 screws and (4) M3 lock washers. 2. Turn the mounting plate over, place an M3 lockwasher and an M3 hex nut on the one […]
NexSens iSIC data loggers incorporate a precision real-time clock. However, the clock can drift up to two minutes per month and regional time changes require the clock to be synchronized periodically. This can be done manually or automatically. Confirm that the computer clock is correct Open iChart with a current project iChart must be opened […]
The 12V DC (direct current) batteries used on NexSens iSIC data loggers can be charged in two ways: online or offline. It will be necessary to decide which is most appropriate for the desired application. The necessary charger type can then be determined. Online Charging: If it is essential for the iSIC to always remain powered, […]
The LED only flashes when the iSIC is booting up and does not stay on all the time in order to conserve battery power. The LED will flash immediately upon connecting the battery but only for 15-20 seconds. REV: 13G29
If iChart ever reads data input by a sensor as “INVALID,” it will be necessary to verify if the sensor is reading incorrectly. The problem may be elsewhere and completing these steps may rule out sensor failure and save on costly repairs. 1. Make sure the sensor is connected to the data logger. 2. Open […]
NexSens iSIC and SDL500 data loggers can communicate using interfaces such as SDI-12, Modbus RS-485 and RS-232. This process shows how to switch from SDI-12 or Modbus to RS-485 communication in order to allow connection to a PC. 1a. Open iChart without a current project. 2a. From the main menu select Advanced | Terminal… 3a. Select […]
