1 System Overview

1.1 XiLog+ Overview


XiLog+ is a telemetry data logger that operates via the GSM cellular radio
network using either the SMS or GPRS.
XiLog+ is factory fitted with a quad band antenna, or can be specified to
have a connector for an external aerial fitting. The external antenna variant
does not contain an internal aerial, and an external aerial cannot be
connected to an internal aerial variant. The internal aerial of XiLog+ cannot
be changed.

Only the cable part number NXG-881 should


be used for communication with XiLog+ and
XiLogEco. Previous communication cables for
older XiLog data loggers are not compatible.

1.2 XiLogEco Overview


XiLogEco is a specially adapted GPRS data logger that
is powered by a turbine. It was especially designed to
function with a pressure reducing valve or upon
boundary valves; this operates a Cla-Val e-Power*
turbine by utilising the pressure differential between the
upstream and downstream pressures. This allows a
higher resolution of data (i.e. 1 second sampling
intervals) and the ability to transmit this data every 15
minutes without compromising performance. It has two
channels; one digital and one analogue making it ideal
for PRV or boundary valve monitoring.
*Patent Pending

XiLogEco will require certain settings when


programming that may differ from XiLog+
normal setup. Please look for XiLogEco
information symbol for instruction.

1.6 Software

The PrimeWorks PC software is used to program and read


back XiLog+ & XiLogEco. It can also be used to view and
report upon data downloaded from these and other
Primayer data logging products.

XiLog+ FastTrack is a streamlined version that has basic


programming features for quick onsite installation.

User Requirements
In order to install the PrimeWorks software the installer must have sufficient authority to write to the
Registry (administration privileges).

Software Requirements
• Windows XP or later
• Microsoft .NET Framework v3.5 SP 1

As with any software application, the higher the specification of the host system, the better the
software will operate.

Software Updates
We provide our software licence free and all updates can be located on our users section through
www.primayer.com

XiLog+ & XiLogEco User Manual

2 Communications
For XiLog+ and XiLogEco to communicate via GSM a SIM card needs to be fitted (as used in mobile
phones). If you have ordered SIM cards from Primayer, they will be installed in the logger and the
phone number will be written on the label on the outside of the logger.

XiLog+ can communicate by SMS or by GPRS. A SIM with the required features enabled must be
used in the logger depending on the data connection type to be used.

If you wish to change your airtime provider, it is


important that you contact Primayer before
doing so. Technologies and business practices
vary from provider to provider; another
provider’s services may not be compatible.

XiLogEco is specifically designed for GPRS


operation, due to the large volume of data it is
designed to transmit. A XiLogEco Power
Management Unit needs to be used with a
XiLogEco.

2.1 SIM Card Installation


Do not, except under direct instruction from
Primayer Limited , disassemble your XiLog+
datalogger any further than described in the
procedure below.

Doing so will invalidate your warranty with


immediate effect.

1. Loosen the 4 captive screws holding the cover plate in position.


2. Remove the cover plate.

XiLog+ & XiLogEco Page 9


XiLog+ & XiLogEco User Manual

3. Push the SIM release button (A), the SIM holder (B) will move out.
4. Pull the SIM holder (B) out and remove from the logger.

5. Insert SIM into holder (B)

Be careful not to touch the SIM card contacts


(D); this could affect the quality of the
communication between the logger and the
GSM network.

To remove a SIM card from the holder (B),


gently push through the hole in the SIM
holder until the SIM is removed.

6. To insert a SIM card into the holder, press the SIM card into the holder (B) and make sure the
keyed corner (E) is correctly aligned and the gold contacts (D) face outwards.
7. Carefully replace the SIM holder (B) by sliding it into its housing until a click is felt.

3 Installation

When deploying a remote data logger the subsequent steps should be followed, to help ensure best
performance.

3.1 Program XiLog+


XiLog+ is programmed using with the PrimeWorks or the XiLog+ FastTrack software. Please see
chapters 5 or chapter 6 for further information.

After programming XiLogEco, ensure that the


Power Management Unit is connected at all
times.

3.2 Mounting
To get the best performance from your XiLog+ or XiLogEco it must be positioned correctly to have the
best possible chance of communicating with the GSM network.

• Perform a signal strength test to ensure that the logger will have an adequate network to
connect to.
• When performing a signal strength test ensure the logger is as it would be when in use, i.e. if
it’s in a chamber ensure the lid is closed.
• Ensure the logger is upright. For the XiLogEco ensure the power management unit is also
upright. The arrows on the label should point upwards.
• If being installed inside a chamber; try to mount the logger approximately 6 inches (15cm)
below the chamber lid.

If mounted too close to a metal chamber lid


the GSM signal will be attenuated, meaning
the logger is less likely to work. If mounted
too deep in the chamber then the signal this
far under the ground may not be strong
enough to allow the logger to work.

XiLog+ & XiLogEco Page 11


XiLog+ & XiLogEco User Manual

Picture shows XiLogEco in recommended position inside a chamber.

3.3 Signal Strength Test


GSM network coverage can vary considerably, both from day to day and from location to location. In
view of this, XiLog+ data loggers are equipped with a GSM Signal Strength test facility; this allows the
logger’s ability to contact the GSM network to be assessed while on-site, as part of the deployment
process.

The test works by deploying the data logger, then measuring the GSM signal strength a set number of
times, at set intervals; an average is taken and a result is displayed. The default setting makes 30
measurements, one every 10 seconds, and so five minutes are required to complete the test. These
settings may be altered if required.

To perform a signal strength test a portable


computer running PrimeWorks or XiLog+
FastTrack is required on site.

XiLog+ & XiLogEco Page 12


XiLog+ & XiLogEco User Manual

3.4 Hardware Connections


3.4.1 IP68 Sealing

The connectors fitted to XiLog+/XiLogEco data loggers is IP68 sealed only when mated with a
matching connector or when the captive sealing cap is fitted. All sensors supplied by Primayer Limited
are factory-fitted with sealed matching connectors.

To protect the integrity of the data loggers


ensure all sealing caps are fitted if the
connector is not in use.

If no care is taken in protecting the connectors, moisture can penetrate the main body of the data
logger. Data loggers operate at low levels of current; any moisture in the unit can cause a higher
current drain, causing damage to the logger. This could affect the integrity of the data stored upon it.

Following this precaution will also protect from foreign matter like dirt. If foreign matter gets inside the
connector, it can stop the connectors mating correctly and therefore make the data logger and battery
pack vulnerable to water ingress.

Contaminated connectors may be cleaned by scrubbing with a brush doused in industrial alcohol
(methylated spirits).

Connectors fit with a bayonet screw action (twist and click). Sensors and cables only fit onto the
connector one way, so care must be taken not to force the connectors to avoid any damage.

Do not open your XiLog+/XiLogEco. Doing so


will risk damaging the components within and
invalidate the warranty with immediate effect.

XiLog+ & XiLogEco Page 13


XiLog+ & XiLogEco User Manual

3.4.2 XiLog+ Input Connections

Installation of XiLog+ is principally a matter of connecting the cables for the inputs. Sensors or cables
supplied by Primayer Limited are factory-fitted with the appropriate connector; a connector fitting
service is also available. Contact Primayer Sales ([email protected]) for more information. For any
other queries about installation then please contact Primayer Support ([email protected]) for
more information.

All XiLog+ connectors can be identified by logos, which are shown against the appropriate connector,
as below:

Digital Inputs
Simply connect the sensor to the digital input; XiLog+ provides the necessary power.

If XiLog+ is started before the sensor is connected, no malfunction will occur.


However, the data recorded up to the point of connection will be zero values.

Internal Pressure Transducer


Loggers fitted with an internal pressure transducer have a male quick-release
connector mounted on the logger.

The integral pressure transducer is available in ranges of 0-10 Bar or 0-20 Bar.
Damage may occur if the transducer is subjected to pressures of more than 150% of
its range. The zero point calibration of the transducer may change if the logger is
subjected to shocks, but this offset can be compensated by recalibrating the logger.

A hose with male and female connectors is available to connect the logger to the
pressure monitoring point.

Care must be taken to avoid pressure shock when connecting to the transducer, as
this can damage or destroy the sensing diaphragm.

Communication/Power Input
The communication link is a cable which interfaces directly to a PC port.
Communication is via direct USB. XiLog+ must be configured by PC before use.

This connection is also used to supply external power to the unit. Only use Primayer
manufactured batteries or power cables.

Analogue Inputs
The analogue input is a general input which may be for voltage or current.

Voltage input range is nominally 0 - 2V DC. Voltages outside this range require a
specific cable; standard voltage ranges available are 0 - 5V and 0 - 10V.

Current input requires a specific cable. This is suitable for 0 - 10mA, 0 - 20mA and 4 -
20mA ranges.

If the logger starts before the sensor is connected, no malfunction will occur but the
data up to the time when the sensor was connected will be zero values.

XiLog+ will only accept an external supply


voltage between 8 and 15 Volts. Please
adhere to this range; applying a voltage higher
than 15 Volts will cause internal damage to the
logger.

4 XiLogEco Hardware Setup

A Cla-Val e-Power (Patent Pending) turbine can be supplied as a plug and play system with a
terminated XiLogEco plug or with a fly lead.

The connectors used between the XiLogEco


and the Power Management Unit are different
from the other connectors on the XiLog+

4.1 XiLogEco Considerations


• The system requires 18Volts AC output from the turbine to achieve optimum performance, so a
minimum differential of 8 meters between upstream and downstream pressure is required.

• Requires a 3/8” BSP connection to connect the turbine to the pressure outlets of a PRV (or
boundary valve setup).

• Carry out a signal strength test on the proposed position of XiLogEco before carrying out any
wiring preparation or fixing a wall bracket.

XiLog+ & XiLogEco Page 15


XiLog+ & XiLogEco User Manual

4.2 XiLogEco Plug and Play system


(terminated for e-Power turbine and a flow meter)

XiLogEco can interface to any flow meter;


ensure the correct terminated pulse unit is
available for connection.

XiLog+ & XiLogEco Page 16


XiLog+ & XiLogEco User Manual

4.3 Wiring e-Power fly lead to Power Management Unit

To avoid personal injury, turn pressure valves


off on the inlet and output to switch off the
voltage across the turbine before carrying out
any wiring.

The turbine outputs AC voltage so the wiring does not need to be in a certain order when connecting
the power management unit.

Ensure that cables are potted to an IP68


standard to protect from water ingress; this
should include fitting a sheath.

4.4 Wiring e-Flowmeter fly lead to XiLogEco

Ensure that cables are potted to an IP68


standard to protect from water ingress; this
should include fitting a sheath.

XiLog+ & XiLogEco Page 17


XiLog+ & XiLogEco User Manual

4.5 Installation Checks

It is good practice to check the voltage levels


of each component before leaving site to help
ensure the wiring is correct.

Connect XiLogEco to PC via a USB communication cable and open PrimeWorks:

1. Open the Installation Tool menu and select to Read Current Values:

2. Disconnect the power management unit from XiLogEco and check the Battery Voltage is
approximately 4.5 - 5V.The External Power Voltage is measuring the USB voltage and can be
ignored.

3. Ensure that the turbine output is connected to the power management unit. Then reconnect the
power management unit into XiLogEco. The Battery Voltage should increase to between 5.5V and
6V. It will continue to gradually increase as the turbine charges the power management unit, until
it reaches the maximum output from the turbine according to the pressure differential.

To conserve the internal backup battery, it is


vital that remote data transmission is disabled
when XiLogEco is disconnected fom the
Power Management Unit and/or the e-Power
turbine.

5 Logger Programming with PrimeWorks

The PrimeWorks software can be used for programming and readback of XiLog+ and XiLogEco; in
addition various graphing, reporting and export functions are available for further analysis of the stored
data.

To program XiLog+ or XiLogEco, connect the logger


to the PC via the local USB communication cable and
open PrimeWorks. The configuration will
automatically load from the logger and the XiLog+
control panel will be displayed. This contains a series
of trays that can be expanded and collapsed as
required.

If more than one logger is attached to USB


switch between the logger configurations by
clicking on the ‘X’ Connected Loggers bar at
the top of the XiLog+ control panel.

Once all logging parameters have been defined for this site, click program to send the
parameters to the logger. This supplies two options for programming:

Program All; this will delete all data stored on the logger, load the new configuration and
adjust the logger time to match the PC clock.

Program Changes; this will load only changes made to the configuration, leaving any
previously logger data still available for download.

To manually download data from the logger via the USB local communication cable, click
the readback button.

To view tools that assist in a successful logger deployment, click the installation button.

To save current logger parameters to PrimeWorks for reference at a later date, click save
configuration button. (This happens automatically if the readback button is pressed)

To close the XiLog+ control panel, click the red cross.

needs to be selected from the drop down
Direction menu. If selected incorrectly the wrong flow
rate will be recorded.

Data Type Select the type of data to be logged. Flow will be the default data type.

XiLog+ & XiLogEco Page 21


XiLog+ & XiLogEco User Manual

Logging Interval
This option selects the measurement interval at which data will be logged. Options between 5 seconds
and 24 hours are available.

All data logged on a channel is average data (a number of samples will be taken and an average
value derived from these samples). In addition to this average data, each channel will also record the
minimum and maximum value within each day. For digital data, a daily volume will also be recorded.
If the correct meter index is entered into the Meter Reading field, this will ensure accurate tracking of
the site meter reading.
If the logging interval is left at Off, the logging on the channel will be disabled.

Send Data Reports


When this option is checked, the logger will send data reports by SMS or GPRS, at the frequency
selected for remote data reporting.

The minimum logging interval that can be sent


via SMS is 1 minute. If a logging interval lower
than this is selected, and SMS reporting is
selected, the data sent via SMS will be averaged
to 1 minute intervals before sending.

If a logging interval of less than 15 minutes is


selected to be sent via SMS, more than one
SMS per day will need to be sent per channel.
For example sending 1 minute SMS data every
day will require 15 SMS to be sent
per channel per day.

Units
This defines the flow measurement units to be used within the logger.

Calibration Factor
Enter the litres/pulse value for the meter (FCAL). See Appendix 1: Meter Scaling Table for a list of
common meters and their FCAL.

Meter Reading
Enter the site meter reading into the logger. If this is written into the logger on installation, the meter
reading in XiLog+ will track the actual meter reading. Meter readings up to 10 digits can be entered,
with accuracy to 4 decimal places.

Meter Units
The Meter read entered can be in a variety of units, depending on meter size, and accuracy required.

Secondary Logging Interval


This allows logging of the same channel input at a second logging interval. To achieve this ensure
Enabled is ticked and enter an alternative logging interval. It is possible for this secondary logging to
be reported remotely, or for this data to be logged internally and requested when required.

For most applications, ensure the secondary


logging channel Send data reports box remains
un-ticked. If it is ticked then both main and
secondary logging on the channel will be
transmitted at each reporting time. This could
have a detrimental effect on battery life and
GPRS data package usage.

This defines the units of measurement for the pressure channel.

Custom Offset
This allows entry of an offset figure, which is added to all readings. For example if a ground level
needs to be added to all pressure values it can be entered in here. If a value needs to be removed
from every reading, simply enter the value as negative.

Send Data Reports


When this option is checked, the logger will send data reports by SMS or GPRS, at the frequency
selected for remote data reporting.

The minimum logging interval that can be sent


via SMS is 1 minute. If a logging interval lower
than this is selected, and SMS reporting is
selected, the data sent via SMS will be averaged
to 1 minute intervals before sending.

If a logging interval of less than 15 minutes is


selected to be sent via SMS, more than one
SMS per day will need to be sent per channel.
For example sending 1 minute SMS data every
day will require 15 SMS to be sent
per channel per day.

XiLog+ & XiLogEco Page 23


XiLog+ & XiLogEco User Manual

Logging Interval
This option sets the measurement interval at which data on this channel will be logged. Options
between 1 second and 24 hours are available.

All data logged on a channel is average data (a number of samples will be taken and an average
value derived from these samples). In addition to this average data, each channel will also record the
minimum and maximum value within each day.

If the logging interval is left at Off, the logging on the channel will be disabled.

Secondary Logging Interval


This allows logging of the same channel input at a second logging interval. To achieve this ensure
Enabled is ticked and enter an alternative logging interval. It is possible for this secondary logging to
be reported remotely, or for this data to be logged internally and requested when required.

For most applications, ensure the secondary


logging channel Send data reports box remains
un-ticked. If it is ticked then both main and
secondary logging on the channel will be
transmitted at each reporting time. This could
have a detrimental effect on battery life and
GPRS data package usage.

5.2.3 Generic Analogue


This tray is used to program the generic analogue channel, present only on a XiLog+ 2. There are
three types of generic analogue channel available, which can be selected from a drop down menu.
For the current and voltage channels on a XiLog+ 9 the appropriate option for the channel is pre-
selected.

Each selection requires different wiring between


XiLog+ and an analogue sensor.

5.2.3.2 Generic Analogue – Voltage example

5.2.3.3 Generic Analogue – mV example

Enable Channel
Tick the Enabled option to switch on the channel. Not all channels within a logger will need to be
enabled when the logger is in use. Channels which are not enabled will help to conserve the battery.

A green highlight next to the channel name


indicates that the channel is enabled and
recording data.

Sensor Type
Select the sensor type; Current, milliVolt or Voltage. For Voltage or Current, a range selector will then
be available allowing selection of the Electrical Range. For current this is up to a maximum of 20mA.
For voltage the selection of 0-2V, 0-5V and 0-10V is available. For the voltage and current channels of
a XiLog+ 9 this is pre-selected.

Data Type & Units


The data type specifies the type of data to be logged; for example pressure, depth, flow or
temperature. Select the required type from the list. As the data type changes, the list of available units
will update.

Custom Offset
This option is only available if Pressure, Height or Depth is being measured. It allows entry of an offset
figure, which is added to all readings. For example if a ground level needs to be added to all pressure

values it can be entered in here. If a value needs to be removed from every reading, simply enter the
value as negative.

Sensor Rating & Physical Range


If the milliVolt option has been selected, the Sensor Rating drop down menu will appear, allowing
selection of different ranges of pressure transducer. The Physical Range display will show this
converted to the selected units.
If the Current or Voltage option has been selected, the range of the sensor needs to be entered in the
Physical Range. The two values entered relate to the range of the input.

For an input of 0-2 Volts, the values entered in


Physical Range are the values at 0 Volts and 2
Volts. For an input of 4-20mA, the values
entered in the Physical Range are the values at
4mA and 20mA

Logging Interval
This option sets the measurement interval at which data on this channel will be logged.

Options between 1 second and 24 hours are available. All data logged on a channel is average data
(a number of samples will be taken and an average value derived from these samples). In addition to
this average data, each channel will also record the minimum and maximum value within each day.

If the logging interval is left at Off, the logging on the channel will be disabled.

5.3 Alarms
Within each channel tray there is an option to set up alarms to help monitor data efficiently. Depending
upon preference there are three types of alarms to choose from; threshold, profile and envelope
alarms.
For using the more complex alarms within XiLog+, select either Profile or Envelope. Profile and
Envelope alarms allow each 15 minute section of the day to use a different threshold value for the high
and low alarm. So for example the high threshold for generating a flow alarm could be much lower
during the night window than it would be during the day.

5.3.1 Threshold Alarms

Enabled
Select this option to turn on the alarms for this channel.

High Threshold
Enter a value which the logger should trigger a High alarm when data exceeds it.

Low Threshold
Enter a value which the logger should trigger a Low alarm when data is below it.

Deadband
Entering a deadband value creates a buffer around the threshold. A high alarm will be generated when
the channel value exceeds the high alarm threshold plus the deadband. It will be cleared when the
channel value is lower than the high alarm threshold minus the deadband.

Example: For example if a high threshold of 20l/s is entered, and a deadband of 1l/s entered, the
high alarm will be triggered when the flow goes above 21l/s, and will only be cleared when it drops
below 19l/s. This is to prevent generation of multiple alarms as values oscillate around a threshold
value.

If this feature is not required then leave the deadband at 0.

Debounce Delay
In addition to the above deadband to prevent multiple alarms for one event, it is possible to select a
debounce delay. This is a selection of a number of minutes (between 1 minute & 1 hour). To trigger
the alarm, the channel value must exceed the threshold (including deadband) for the period of time set
by debounce delay time.

XiLog+ & XiLogEco Page 27


XiLog+ & XiLogEco User Manual

Example: If a debounce delay of 5 minutes is selected, to generate a low alarm, the value must
be below the low threshold minus the deadband for 5 minutes before an alarm is generated.

Picture above demonstrates an alarm will be triggered after five minutes below the low threshold

The debounce delay is only used on entering an


alarm state. It is not applied when determining
whether an alarm has been cleared or not.

5.3.2 Profile Alarms

When the Profile option is selected, a graph allowing creation and editing of the profile will be
displayed.

Import Data

The easiest way to create a profile is to import data already logged at this site. To do this, select the
logging function from the available data list. Select to either import a single day by entering the date
under the Start Date calendar control or to merge multiple days by entering the start and end date for

XiLog+ & XiLogEco Page 28


XiLog+ & XiLogEco User Manual

the selected data in the appropriate calendar controls. Calendar controls will only allow selection of
valid dates for the selected data set.

If multiple days are selected, the data for each time period will be averaged with those of the other
days. So for example, to get the profile value for 02:00, every 02:00 data value will be taken and an
average of all of them used. Once data has been selected, press the Load Data button to load into the
graphical display.

Edit Profile
To edit the profile data, press the Auto Fit button. A marker will be placed on the loaded trace at each
15 minute interval, to allow the value to be changed if required.

Reset
If it is not possible to load any previously logged data, the Reset button can be pressed which will set
default values for each profile value, allowing each one to be set independently.

To change a profile value, simply click on the graph marker and drag to a new location on the graph.
The zoom & pan buttons can be used to rescale the Y-axis for the data displayed.

Multiple points can be selected by either


dragging a window over the points using the left
mouse key, or by holding the shift key when
clicking on points.

When a profile value has been selected, it will appear in a highlighted state. The value of the profile
value will be displayed (see Selected Value above). If more accuracy is required an alternative value
can be typed into this field.

Disable Selected Profile


It is also possible to disable a profile value. After having selected a value, click on the Disable
Selected Profile checkbox. No alarms will then be generated during this 15 minute period.

To enable the alarms for this profile period again, simply uncheck this Disable checkbox.

Profile Deadband and Debounce


The deadband around the profile can be either a single value, or a percentage. This sets a buffer zone
of which the alarm will be triggered if it is out of the deadband range. A high alarm would be triggered

XiLog+ & XiLogEco Page 29


XiLog+ & XiLogEco User Manual

once the channel value has been above the profile value plus the deadband for the period of time set
by debounce delay time.

Example: If a flow profile value of 5l/s were in use, with a deadband of 1l/s, a high alarm would be
generated in this period above a value of 6l/s and a low alarm would be generated below a value
of 4l/s. If the deadband were instead set to 10%, the high alarm would be generated above 5.5l/s,
and a low alarm below 4.5l/s.

5.3.3 Envelope Alarms

When the Envelope option is selected, a graph allowing creation and editing of the profile will be
displayed.

Import Data

The easiest way to create an envelope is to import data already logged at this site. To do this, select
the logging function from the available data list. Select to either import a single day by entering the
date under the Start Date calendar control, or to merge multiple days by entering the start and end
date for the selected data in the appropriate calendar controls. Calendar controls will only allow
selection of valid dates for the selected data set.

If multiple days are selected, the data for each time period will be averaged with those of the other
days. So for example, to get the profile value for 02:00, every 02:00 data value will be taken and an
average of all of them used. Once data has been selected, press the Load Data button to load into the
graphical display.

Edit Envelope
When the AutoFit button is pressed, instead of a single row of markers (like Profile alarms) on the
graph which can be edited as required, there are two:

XiLog+ & XiLogEco Page 30


XiLog+ & XiLogEco User Manual

This allows the values which are used to generate the high and low alarms during each period to be
changed independently. Specific values can be selected, changed moved and disabled as in the
standard profile mode.

5.3.4 Alarm Reporting

Alarms can be reported via SMS or FTP (or both). Different selections for each alarm trigger can be
made. Selections for delivery of alarms are independent of delivery selections for logged data. So for
example logged data could be sent via FTP, and alarms via SMS.

5.4 Remote Data Reporting


This tray allows setting up of the parameters for remote sending of data from XiLog+.

Messaging Type
XiLog+ can be programmed to send data via either SMS or FTP (using GPRS technology).

If SMS is selected, reports will be sent to up to a maximum of 3 host numbers as entered.

If FTP is selected, data will be transferred via FTP (File Transfer Protocol) to an FTP Server. The
details of this server can then be entered.

To enable low battery and/or commissioning


alarms the Host number must be entered
regardless whether XiLog+ is transmitting using
FTP or SMS.

Combine Flow and Pressure


If using XiLog+ 2i or XiLog+ 3i variant, and sending data via SMS it is possible combine the flow and
pressure data into one single SMS. For this to be possible pressure must be logged at a 15 minute
interval in metres; flow must be logged at a 15 minute interval in litres/second.

When these criteria are met, this checkbox will become available for selection. If selected a single
SMS for these two channels will be sent per day, rather than two SMS.

Host Numbers
All SMS transmitted from XiLog+ will be sent to all the host numbers. Up to three host numbers can be
entered, allowing delivery of the data to up to three different offices.

XiLog+ & XiLogEco Page 31


XiLog+ & XiLogEco User Manual

In addition to host numbers, up to two additional alarm numbers can be entered. Any SMS alarms
generated within the logger will be sent to these numbers. Data is sent only to the host numbers,
whereas alarms are sent to both the host and alarm numbers.

If using the Primayer XMS system for data


delivery, tick the Use XMS host checkbox and
select the appropriate network. There is no need
to enter any other numbers; distribution of data
and alarms is done through the XMS Server.

FTP Server Address


The address of the FTP server which the logger should contact to transmit the data should be entered.
If using Primayer XMS delivery system, the address waterlogger.co.uk should be entered. If using
another FTP server, the details entered should be the address, without any FTP prefix.

FTP Username
Enter the username for logon to the FTP server.

FTP Password
Enter the password for this user to logon to the FTP server
If using Primayer XMS system, Primayer’s support team will have supplied this information.

Auto GSM Clock Correction


By ticking this box it allows the logger to check its time with the GSM network. If the time differs, then it
will incrementally correct the time over a 30 day period to avoid gaps in data.

Ignore Daylight Saving Time


By ticking this box it will not change the logger time by +/-1 hour for countries that adhere to daylight
saving time.

5.4.1 Data Transmission


This tray controls how often logged data is transmitted from XiLog+.

If the transmit daily option is selected, a single time can be entered and messages will be transmitted
at that time every day. If a different transmit regime is required, a frequency, start and end time and
active days can be selected. For example a logger can be programmed to transmit data every hour
between 8 am and 6 pm Mon to Fri only. By managing the transmission times, the battery life of the
logger can be maximized.

For the XiLogEco data can be transmitted every


15 minutes without compromising battery life.

XiLog+ & XiLogEco Page 32


XiLog+ & XiLogEco User Manual

When transmitting data via SMS, XiLog+ will intelligently manage when there is data to be sent,
attempting to minimise the SMS costs. Each SMS can contain a maximum of 96 values. XiLog+ will
not attempt to send an SMS until it is full, regardless of the frequency selected here.

Example: If 5 minute data is being logged and transmitted via SMS, each 96 value message will
contain 8-hours of data. Even if the transmission frequency is set to every hour, XiLog+ will still wait
until the full SMS has been formed after 8-hours before sending the SMS. This prevents excessive
SMS costs and duplication of data.

When data is transmitted via FTP there are no such restrictions. At each transmission time all new
data that has been logged will be sent by FTP.

5.4.2 Optional Receive Frequency Window


This tray controls an optional receive window that will wake the modem to receive data. This allows
two way communications to occur during the period set within this tray. These settings are
independent of the main data transmission window.

Any commands which are sent to the logger


whilst its modem is off will be stored and
answered when the modem next awakes. The
length of time messages will be held on the
network may vary from provider to provider, but
is normally between 24 hours and 3 days. If not
delivered within this time the messages will be
deleted by the provider.

5.5 Installation Tools


It is best practice after amending logger settings to save them to the logger by selecting
the program button (as seen at the start of Chapter 5).

Once programmed, carry out the essential checks found in the Tools menu before leaving
site.

Commissioning Mode

XiLog+ & XiLogEco Page 33


XiLog+ & XiLogEco User Manual

On Puts the logger into commissioning mode, so that the logger’s modem is constantly
powered and available to receive messages via the GSM network. If the modem is
On this will allow remote two way communication between the logger and the
operative.
Off Turns the logger’s modem off. This is the recommended setting for normal use.
Freight Freight mode ensures that even if the logger is programmed to transmit, because of
Mode an alarm for example, it will not attempt this. It is important that this option is selected
for air freighting of a logger, even if the SIM is removed. All loggers which have been
air freighted from Primayer will be received in Freight mode.

Commissioning Mode will be automatically


turned off at 00:00 the following day to conserve
battery power. An optional receive window can
be activated to allow communication with the
logger at a later date (see section 5.4.2)

Synchronise with PC clock

This function sets the clock on the logger to match the PC clock. This is useful if Program changes
has selected when programming a logger.

Current Values
It is recommended to Read Current Values to confirm a successful logger deployment. To view this
data please ensure the Read Current Values box is ticked and logger is connected via a
communication cable.

PrimeWorks will request this data from the


logger every second. Pressure and other
analogue values will update at this frequency,
but flow values may take up to 1 minute to
update dependant on the sampling regime
programmed into the logger.

Digital / Analogue
The number of values displayed will vary dependant on the model and the programming of the logger.
The current value and units for each channel will be displayed. This provides an opportunity to check if
correct values will be logged.

If a channel is not being displayed:


• Check that the channel is enabled within the channels trays

If a channel is reading the wrong value or zero:


• Check the sensor is connected to the logger and measurement point.
• Check the correct measurement units are programmed
• For digital channels check the correct FCAL is programmed
• For analogue channels check the correct offset is programmed.

AutoCal Button
If pressure, depth or height is being logged on an analogue channel, an AutoCal button will be
available. Press this button to AutoCal the analogue channel. This will force the channel to read zero
or the custom offset.

This should only be done with the transducer


open to atmospheric pressure. Only future data
will use this new offset. Any data previously
recorded will not be readjusted for this offset.

Battery Voltage
This shows the measured internal battery voltage (nominally 7.2V). If this battery is low and needs
replacing, a warning is displayed when plugging the logger into PrimeWorks.

External Power Voltage


This field shows the external power voltage measured by the logger. If the logger is attached to USB,
this will show the USB voltage being supplied to the logger (generally 5V). If requested remotely it will
show the power of an externally connected power supply.

GSM Signal Strength


This field shows the GSM signal strength measured by the logger the last time the signal strength test
was run. It also indicates whether the results are good, adequate or inadequate.

5.6 Perform a Signal Strength Test in PrimeWorks


It is strongly recommended that this step is
performed as part of each logger deployment,
even if the site has been successfully used
previously. GSM coverage can vary even over
short periods.

1. Open Signal strength test from the Installation menu with the
logger connected to the PC via the communication cable.
2. Enter the test parameters that you wish to carry out. As a
default in PrimeWorks it sets out a recommended duration of 5
minutes.
Sample Count x Interval Between Samples = Test duration (seconds)

Sample Count
The number of signal checks that it will carry out.
Interval Between Samples
The duration between each signal check.
Delay before test start
The number of seconds the test will start in, to allow the installation of the logger in its permanent
location before the test starts.

3. Make a note of the test duration and then click Start Test and deploy logger in its permanent
position so that accurate results can be obtained.
4. Retrieve the logger once the allocated test duration has passed and reconnect to PC via USB. To
obtain results click Get latest test results.

Signal Strength Deployment


(%)
Strong signal strength: should be able to regularly logon to the GSM
> 25%
network.
Adequate but requires further monitoring; indicates a borderline signal
level; communication with the GSM network may fail on occasion.
21 – 25 % Repeat the test; if the same result is returned, it may be advisable to use
an alternative deployment position if one is available. If this is not
possible, install XiLog+, but ensure that it is closely monitored.
Is not suitable for deployment: indicate that the signal strength is
insufficient for communications cross the GSM network. Repeat the test;
if the same result is returned, XiLog+ will not be able to access the GSM
< 21 %
network from this deployment position. If possible, try an alternative
deployment position or consider using an alternative network provider
(See Section 5.7on Network Test).

5.7 Perform a Network Test in PrimeWorks


If the existing SIM network provider fails to achieve adequate signal, one option is to change to a
stronger network and therefore increase data transmission reliability. To see which network is most
suited to local conditions a Network Test can be carried out.

1. Select Network Test from the installation menu.


2. Click Start Test and leave the logger connected to the PC.
This test provides an onsite general indication of which
network provider is more reliable due to local conditions.

3. Click Get latest test results. This will display all available
networks and their signal strength in a percentage. It’s
advisable to obtain a SIM with the largest signal strength to
improve data reliability and update the logger accordingly.
(See Chapter 2.1 SIM card installation and 5.1 Logger
Information)

If all network providers return with a signal


strength of 21% or less, after moving the
location or changing the network provider then
consider:
• Using an external antenna XiLog+
• Upgrading the power supply

Threshold alarms enabled


Select this option to turn on the alarms for either channel.

High Threshold
Enter a value which the logger should trigger a High alarm when data exceeds it.

Low Threshold
Enter a value which the logger should trigger a Low alarm when data is below it.

Deadband
Enter a deadband value creates a buffer around the threshold. A high alarm will be generated when
the channel value exceeds the high alarm threshold plus the deadband. It will be cleared when the
channel value is lower than the high alarm threshold minus the deadband.

Example: For example if a high threshold of 20l/s is entered, and a deadband of 1l/s entered,
the high alarm will be triggered when the flow goes above 21l/s, and will only be cleared when it
drops below 19l/s. This is to prevent generation of multiple alarms as values oscillate around a
threshold value.

If this feature is not required then leave the deadband at 0.

Debounce Delay
In addition to the above deadband to prevent multiple alarms for one event, it is possible to select a
debounce delay. This is a selection of a number of minutes (between 1 minute & 1 hour). To trigger
the alarm, the channel value must exceed the threshold (including deadband) for the period of time set
by the debounce delay.

Example: if a debounce delay of 5 minutes is selected, to generate a low alarm, the value must
be above the high threshold plus the deadband for 5 minutes before an alarm is generated.

Picture above demonstrates an alarm will be triggered after five minutes below the Low threshold

XiLog+ & XiLogEco Page 42


XiLog+ & XiLogEco User Manual

The debounce delay is only used on entering an


alarm state. It is not applied when determining
whether an alarm has been cleared or not.

6.5 Perform a Signal Strength Test in XiLog+ FastTrack


It is strongly recommended that this step is
performed as part of each logger deployment,
even if the site has been successfully used
previously. GSM coverage can vary even over
short periods.

1. Open the Signal Strength window by clicking the button


located in the bottom right hand corner.

2. XiLog+ FastTrack has the ability to obtain the current


network provider signal strength by clicking
Current Signal then Run Test. This will delay
the test for 30 seconds, giving time for the
logger to be placed in its permanent location
and then sample the current provider’s signal
for 1 minute.
3. Retrieve the logger and reconnect it to the PC
with FastTrack running.
4. To obtain the logger’s current network
provider signal strength, click Current Signal
then Get Results

Signal Strength (%) Deployment


Strong signal strength: should be able to regularly logon to the GSM
> 25%
network.
Adequate but requires further monitoring; indicates a borderline signal
level; communication with the GSM network may fail on occasion.
21 – 25 % Repeat the test; if the same result is returned, it may be advisable to
use an alternative deployment position if one is available. If this is not
possible, install XiLog+, but ensure that it is closely monitored.
Is not suitable for deployment: indicate that the signal strength is
insufficient for communications cross the GSM network. Repeat the
test; if the same result is returned, XiLog+ will not be able to access the
< 21 %
GSM network from this deployment position. If possible, try an
alternative deployment position or consider using an alternative
network provider (See section 6.6 on Network Test).

6.6 Perform a Network Test in XiLog+ FastTrack


If the existing SIM network provider fails to achieve adequate signal, one option is to change to a
stronger network and therefore increase data transmission reliability. To see which network is most
suited to local conditions a Network Test can be carried out.

1. Click All Networks then Run Test; XiLog+ has the ability
to survey all available network providers signal strength.
This allows the operative to choose the best network for
the logger by changing the SIM accordingly.

2. Click Start Test and leave the logger connected


to the PC. As networks are discovered their
signal strength will be displayed on screen.

3. If the logger is disconnected from the PC, click


Get Results to retrieve the results of the last
test.

If all network providers return with a signal


strength of 21% or less, after moving the
location or changing the network provider then
consider:
• Using an external antenna XiLog+
• Upgrading the power supply

7.2 XiLogEco Power Management Unit


XiLogEco Power Management Unit contains a lead acid rechargeable battery; it is designed to be
recharged from a turbine that is powered by a minimal 8m pressure differential across a PRV.

Battery Safety

Please ensure the following safety precautions


are followed when handling a XiLogEco Power
Management Unit.

• It is vital not to allow a XiLogEco Power Management Unit to discharge completely.


• It is important when installing a XiLogEco Power Management Unit that the arrow marked on the
label points upwards. It is good practice to use Primayer’s double logger bracket screwed into the
chamber wall to help ensure the battery stays upright.
• Avoid laying a XiLogEco Power Management Unit upon its side. During storage it can be
positioned upon its lid with the arrows pointing downwards.
• A XiLogEco Power Management Unit can release hydrogen gas which can form explosive
mixtures in air. It is vital to ensure the vent is not blocked or the battery placed in a sealed
chamber.
• Keep all XiLogEco Power Management Units away from sparks or open flames.
• Do not attempt to connect any XiLogEco Power Management Unit to any product other than a
XiLogEco and Cla-Val e-Power turbine.
• Do not attempt to open the internal battery pack; care must be taken when handling.
• If the battery pack in a XiLogEco Power Management Unit is damaged please wear clothing that
covers skin, gloves and safety goggles when handling.
• All XiLogEco Power Management Units must be recycled at end of life in accordance with local
and national laws and regulations.

Battery Consideration

Before installing XiLogEco, ensure its Power


Management Unit is stored at room temperature
(20°C) for no longer than 1 year; otherwise the
internal battery will fully self-discharge and be
unable to recharge from the turbine.

Supplementary Notes for Meter Scaling Tables

Kent Meters:
* Some earlier 100mm meters require the following:
FCAL = 100(PU10/LRP) or 10(PU100/HRP).
These meters can be distinguished by the centre pointer dial registration = 1000 litres/rev.
** Applies to 7 digit counters only, the other FCAL’s apply to the 8 digit counters.

Kent combination meters use a Helix 3000 meter as the main meter and a PSM-T as the secondary
meter. Select the appropriate FCAL from the table above for each of the meters.

Socam meters:
The 510 pulse unit is factory fitted and cannot be removed. The FCAL is determined at the factory and
the above table shows the values available. The individual meter should be checked before selecting
the appropriate FCAL.

Important transport safety data
1. Introduction
Lithium metal batteries are fitted into some Primayer products as single cell or multi-cell batteries. These
batteries are classified as dangerous goods for the purpose of transportation and must be handled in
accordance with the regulations governing air, road and sea transportation (see section 3 below). In
addition to this transportation requirement, prior to being transported each type of lithium battery (used in
the products) must have already successfully been certified to UN test requirements (see section 4
below). Primayer specifies only cells that meet the relevant UN certification.

This is a guide and should not be used as an alternative to the official regulations. The regulations are
subject to change and this document is not intended to track those changes.
