SMI Manual V1.0

1.0 INTRODUCTION This manual is intended for all users of the Geosense

® Smart Mux Interface (SMI).

1.1 General Description The Geosense

® SMI is a readout unit designed to manually acquire and store

readings from sensors connected to data acquisition systems, which typically will include:

Geosense® Analogue Remote Smart Mux

Geosense

® Digital Remote Smart Mux

The Geosense

® SMI can also manually acquire readings from Geosense

® Digital Tilt

Sensors and Tilt Arrays. The SMI has been designed to enable easy manual collection of data from Remote Smart Mux enclosures while the central G8 Data logging unit is still to be installed. 1.2 Device Compatibility The following Geosense

® Products are compatible and can be interrogated by the SMI.

Analogue Smart Mux Digital Smart Mux (DMUX) Tilt Array (MUMS) Digital Tilt Sensors (IPTM)

1.3 Theory of Operation The Geosense

® SMI uses the RS485 serial communication protocol to communicate

with compatible target devices. Since these devices use custom commands, devices not listed in section 1.2 will not function with the SMI. Since the RS485 protocol allows for multiple devices to be connected to a single “bussed” string, the SMI can communicate with multiple devices from one location, given that the guidelines for the RS485 standard are adhered to. The SMI can be connected at any of the Node locations shown in the illustration below. It is important to remember if the SMI is placed at either end (Node 1 or Node N) of the string the 120Ω resistor must be turned on.

4.3 Inspection

It is important to check all the equipment in the shipment as soon as possible after taking delivery and well before installation is to be carried out. Check that all the components detailed on the documents are included in the shipment. Check that the equipment has not been physically damaged.

4.4 Storage The Geosense

® SMI contains electronics and whilst they are designed for

outside use and mounted within a water resistant enclosure the internal circuit board can be affected by excessive moisture, dust and temperature. When not in use they should be turned off and stored in a cool, dry location.

4.0 DELIVERY

This section should be read by all users of the Geosense®

SMI.

4.2 Handling

The Geosense® SMI is a precision measuring instruments. They and their

associated equipment should always be handled with care during transportation and storage. Once the shipment has been inspected it is recommended that the Geosense® SMI remains in its original packaging for storage or transportation. Cable should also be handled with care. Do not allow it to be damaged by sharp edges, rocks for example, and do not exert force on the cable as this my damage the internal conductors..

4.1 Packaging

The Geosense®

SMI is packed for transportation to site. Packaging is suitably robust to allow normal handling by transportation companies. Inappropriate handling techniques may cause damage to the packaging and the enclosed equipment. The packaging should be carefully inspected upon delivery and any damage MUST be reported to both the transportation company and Geosense

® .

DO NOT DROP AS THIS MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO INTERNAL COMPONENTS

SMI Manual V1.0

5.0 OPERATION Before the Geosense

® SMI can acquire readings it must first be configured.

5.1. Turning on the SMI Turn on the Geosense

® SMI using the On/Off toggle switch. If the Geosense

® SMI is in

standby mode press ‘ENT’ on the keypad. The home screen displaying the Geosense Logo should appear on the LCD screen. Press ‘ENT’ again to enter the project window where the name of the current project is displayed. Note that the SMI is shipped with a default project. If no other projects have been created “Default” will be displayed as the Current Project. 5.2. Project Handler. Home > 4. Projects Handler The projects Handler menu is used to create, delete and navigate between projects.

5.2.1. Creating a Project. Home > 4. Projects Handler > 2. Create/modify

A project is used to configure the SMI for a particular device or groups of devices. When a project is created for a group of devices the user must ensure the devices are all connected together in accordance to the RS485 standard. To create a new project select ‘Create/modify’ by pressing ‘2’, this will display the projects which are currently stored. Enter a unique project number and press ‘ENT’ followed by the name of the project.

5.2.2. Modify Project name. Home > 4. Projects Handler > 2. Create/modify

To modify the name of a project select ‘Create/modify’ by pressing ‘2’, this will display the projects which are currently stored. Enter the number of the project which requires modifying and press ‘ENT’. Confirm a project name modification is required and enter the new name.

5.2.3. Selecting a Project. Home > 4. Projects Handler > 1. Select Project

To Change projects select ‘Select Project’ by pressing ‘1’, this will display a list of the projects which are currently stored. Enter the number of the project and press ‘ENT’, the selected project will now load.

5.2.4. Deleting a Project. Home > 4. Projects Handler > 1. Delete Project

To Delete a project select ‘Delete Project’ by pressing ‘3’, this will display a list of the projects which are currently stored. Enter the number of the project to be deleted and press ‘ENT’. The project will now be marked deleted. Reset the device by turning it Off and then On for the changes to take effect.

5.0 OPERATION contd... 5.3. SMI Configuration. Home > 1. SMI Configurations The SMI configurations menu is used to alter the main settings of the Geosense

® SMI for

each project. It is important to remember each project created has its own unique configuration.

5.3.1. ID Number Home > 1. SMI Configurations > 1. Id number The ID number should match that of the Geosense

® G8 Data Logger module ID which

is connected or to be eventually connected to the device. This is especially important when configuring the Geosense

® SMI for the Geosense

® SmartMux since the Mux will

only respond from a device with the correct ID. WARNING: During its first communication session the Geosense

® Smart Mux will

store the ID of the device connected to it and from that moment will only respond to that ID. For this reasons users must ensure that the correct ID configured in the Geosense

® SMI Project matches that of the G8 PLUS logging module used for the

data acquisition system.

5.3.2. Set date/time Home > 1. SMI Configurations > 2. Set date/time

This option is used to set the Date and Time of the device. This setting is universal to all projects and therefore altering the date and time in one project will alter it in another. 5.3.3. System backup Home > 1. SMI Configurations > 3. System backup

This option moves all available data located in SD:\Project Number\DATA\IPTM SD:\Project Number\DATA\MUMS SD:\Project Number\DATA\MUX To SD:\Project Number\DATA\Backup The process stores files by the year and month they were created. 5.3.4. SD Card explorer Home > 1. SMI Configurations > SDcard explorer This option allows files on the SD card to be viewed. Use the ‘UP’ and ‘DOWN’ keys to navigate and ‘ENT’ to visualise subfolders and files. Press ‘ESC’ to return to the previous folder. 5.3.5. PIN security Home > 1. SMI Configurations > PIN security A Pin can be set to protect the device from being accessed by unwanted users. To set a PIN navigate to PIN Security > Set/change PIN, enter a 4 digit pin and repeat to confirm. To remove the PIN select PIN Security > Remove PIN, you will be prompted for the PIN when PIN Security is selected.

6.0 Data Handling The data downloaded from the Geosense

® SMI are formatted as .csv files. These files can

be visualised using a simple text reader or a spreadsheet application such as MS Excel. The data contained in the .csv files are delimited using semi colons, depending on the regional settings the .csv file may not open as expected. To import data into excel select the Data Tab. In ‘Get External Data’ select ‘From Text’ and select the .csv file to import. Select “Delimited” and click Next. Check the box next to “Semicolon” and click Finish. Finally select the cell you wish to start the import from. All files will contain 4 header lines: Line 1 > Date and Time Line 2 > SMI ID Line 3 > .csv file full path.
