If satellite telemetry is added to an existing data logger it will be necessary to update the iSIC protocol and iChart configuration to begin acquiring data remotely. Change iSIC Protocol Establish a direct connection with the data logger in iChart. Apply power and connect a COM cable to the iSIC. Navigate to Advanced|iSIC|iSIC. Select the […]
NexSens SDL500I and 6100-iSIC Iridium satellite data loggers can be programmed so that only certain data points are transmitted. This may be used in situations where the power draw of the modem needs to be limited or if the satellite transmission is being used only to periodically confirm that the system is functioning properly. 1. […]
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 […]
The NexSens Iridium data loggers (6100-iSIC, SD500-I, CB-iSIC with RTU-I) supports satellite connection between a remote monitoring site and a computer base station with an internet connection. Shown below is an example site: The above system consists of the following components: Windows-based computer running iChart software 6100-iSIC Iridium (satellite) Data Logger Sensor NexSens/User-Supplied Email Server […]

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 […]
