1.6 Software
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
PrimeWorks Manual
This manual only gives guidance on programming XiLog+ & XiLogEco loggers
with PrimeWorks or FastTrack. For PrimeWorks features that concern data
viewing and reporting, a user manual can be viewed by looking under the Help >
Manual menu option.
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.
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.
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.
8. Make sure the seal (C) is in the sealing groove and not damaged.
9. Put the cover plate in position and secure with the four captive screws.
3 Installation
When deploying a remote data logger the subsequent steps should be followed, to help ensure best
performance.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
• 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.
The turbine outputs AC voltage so the wiring does not need to be in a certain order when connecting
the power management unit.
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.
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.
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)
Site Name
This field is a reference to the location of the logger. This is the name which will appear in the
PrimeWorks database for this logger.
Site ID
This field gives the option of entering any site specific reference ID. This can be used for grouping
loggers for use within other functions in PrimeWorks.
Phone Number
This is the phone number of the SIM within the logger. Once entered and saved into the logger this
does not need to be entered again unless the SIM is changed.
Serial Number
This field shows the serial number of the logger. It cannot be changed.
Additional Notes
Any additional notes can be entered here.
5.2 Channels
The Channels tray allows configuration of each of the channels within the XiLog+. The number of
channel trays and the type of the trays available will change depending upon the logger model.
Enable Channel
Tick the Enabled option to switch on the channel currently being viewed. 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.
Sensor Profile
This drop down menu allows selection of the sensor/pulse unit that will be connected to the logger and
predefines the sensor options accordingly. If the pulse unit type is not listed select Custom to manually
enter the settings:
Data Type Select the type of data to be logged. Flow will be the default data type.
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.
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.
Enable Channel
Tick the Enabled option to switch on the channel currently being viewed. 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.
Sensor Rating
This shows the maximum rating of the internal pressure sensor. This cannot be changed; the logger
should not be connected to any pressure higher than this range.
Units
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
To enable the alarms for this profile period again, simply uncheck this Disable checkbox.
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.
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:
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.
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.
Messaging Type
XiLog+ can be programmed to send data via either SMS or FTP (using GPRS technology).
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Once programmed, carry out the essential checks found in the Tools menu before leaving
site.
Commissioning Mode
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

This option sets the measurement interval at which data on this channel will be logged. 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.
Units
Defines the pressure measurement units to be used within the logger.
Logging Interval
This option sets the measurement interval at which data on this channel will be logged. All data logged
on a channel is average data (a number of samples will be taken and an average value derived from
these samples).
If the logging interval is left at Off, the logging on the channel will be disabled.
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.
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

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.
The XiLog+ is a very flexible data logger allowing configuration with several transmit, receive and
standby windows. The above table only shows the effect of selecting different transmission intervals.
The following illustrates the effect on expected battery life of selecting different windows.
