iChart software communicates to a 5100-iSIC device through an internet connection. The 5100-iSIC will be assigned a static IP address. The router that connects the 5100-iSIC to the internet should also have a static IP address and port forward external internet traffic to the internal 5100-iSIC IP address on ports 10001 and 9999.

5100-iSIC Typical Site
The NexSens 5100-iSIC supports landline Ethernet communication between a remote monitoring site and a computer base station with an internet connection. It is the most desirable system for a monitoring site where an Ethernet connection is available at the remote site. Shown below is an example site: The above system consists of the following […]
Updating iSIC, CB-iSIC, or SDL500 Firmware
NexSens iSIC firmware dictates how all functions and procedures are run in iSIC, CB-iSIC, and SDL500 data loggers. New firmware versions are released on a regular basis, so it is important to routinely check for updates. iChart software must be periodically updated in order for the most recent firmware version to be located.

iSIC Addressing
Connect one end of the RS232 Interface Cable (supplied) to the PC’s serial port. Plug the other end of the cable into the DB9 connector located inside the iSIC. Apply power to the iSIC. If AC power will be used to power the system, connect the red and black battery leads inside the iSIC or […]
Temperature & Oxygen Sensor Expansion
The temperature and dissolved expansion connector allows for the addition of multiple temperature and dissolved oxygen sensors to a system. See the diagrams below for exact signal pins. Dissolved Oxygen Sensors The dissolved oxygen expansion connector allows for four dissolved oxygen sensors to be added to a system. Connect the positive signal wire to the […]
Digital Expansion
The digital expansion connector allows for the addition of multiple RS232, and generic digital I/O sensors, as well as a main communication port. See the diagrams below for exact signal pins: RS232 The digital expansion connector allows for two additional RS232 sensors. These ports operate the same as those located on the digital terminal strip. […]
Analog Expansion
The analog expansion connector allows for the addition of multiple analog input sensors, such as single and differential 4-20 mA sensors, as well as single and differential analog inputs, analog outputs, and temperature sensors. See the diagrams below for exact signal pins. Analog Inputs Pins AD8-A15 can all be used to interface with single and […]
