The 3100-iSIC and SDL500C are able to send emails containing data from the latest sample. These emails are sent to one reciepient per data logger. Note: The logger must have the firmware version v7.15.80 in order to send emails. The firmware version can be verified and updated by following the steps here. Data format: The data is in […]
The address of an iSIC or SDL500 data logger can be changed using iChart software. 1. Open iChart with a current project if not already open 2. From the menu select Advanced | iSIC | iSIC 3. Select the correct PC COM port, Connection type and iSIC Address If the address is unknown and the connection […]
Powering the SDL500 The SDL500 can be powered internally with (8) D-Cell batteries or externally with NexSens SP5 5-watt solar power packs or a user-supplied 12 VDC source. For MB-100 data buoy applications, internal batteries must be used to power the SDL500. For MB-300 or larger data buoy applications, SP5 solar power packs are typically […]

Part Number Description Details 1001 iChart Software Program which simplifies and automates many of the tasks associated with acquiring, processing, analyzing and publishing environmental data. UW-CON UW Cable connectorization Factory installed connector for user-supplied sensor cables. Pluggable to the SDL500. UW-FL UW Plug connector to flying lead cable Used for wiring the SDL500 to other […]
When many sensors are used in a project, it may become necessary to power a submersible data logger through its top bulkhead. This action will require a UW-plug-to-flying-lead cable. 1. Connect the UW plug to the top bulkhead. 2. The power will run through pin 6 of the bulkhead, which corresponds to the […]
NexSens 3100-iSIC and SDL500 data loggers manufactured prior to July 2013 used the Sierra Wireless Raven XT modem. The GPRS version of this modem requires user installation of a SIM card. 1. If working with an SDL, remove the outer SDL housing following the Remove SDL500 Housing article. If working with an iSIC, unscrew the mounting plate’s (4) screws to […]
If advanced diagnostics or repairs are to be performed on an SDL500 submersible data logger, the outer housing must be removed. 1. Remove the (4) 3/16″ hex screws from the main SDL500 body on the end with 5 ports (bottom bulkhead). 2. Pull the bottom bulkhead off of the main body carefully. Note: Since the SDL500 is air-tight […]
This guide is designed to help you fix common problems associated with failed over-the-air communication between a cellular iSIC or SDL data logger and a computer. Cellular communication problems can arise for a number of different reasons, including low power, weak cellular signal strength, improper physical connections, activation issues, or data account setup problems. To […]
Analog sensors require a millivolt (mV) reading in order to determine an accurate output. To find these readings, follow the process below. 1. Open iChart without a project file. 2. Select Advanced|iSIC|iSIC from the menu bar. 3. Select the appropriate communication under PC Settings. 4. Type the address of the data logger and click Connect. 5. Click the Analog tab. […]
