4 1.0 INTRODUCTION This manual is intended for all users of Geosense Wi-SOS 100 supplied by Geosense and provides information on their installation, operation and maintenance. It is VITAL that personnel responsible for the installation and use of the Geosense Wi-SOS 100, READS and UNDERSTANDS this manual, prior to working with the equipment. 1.1 General Description The Geosense Wi-SOS 100 is a direct to web (D2W) wireless data transmitting node. It is housed in a waterproof (IP68) case and can be used with sensors that output 4-20mA or single ended voltage. The data it transmits is sent to a central website via the cloud. The nodes can be read wirelessly from any PC/laptop as well as smartphones and tablets via an internet web browser. Designed to be used with :- Tilt meters Tilt Beams Piezometers Displacement transducers Total Pressure cells Particular features of the Geosense Wi-SOS 100 are:- CE compliant IP68 Waterproof casing Cloud data storage Remote access Secure website Built in SIM card Long battery life Simple to set up 4

5 1.2 Theory of Operation The Geosense Wi-SOS 100 is a revolutionary low cost wireless monitoring solution. With no extra power supply or data cables required you can connect the device to any compatible 4-20mA or single ended voltage sensor and data is automatically transmitted to our sensor platform for reporting and logging. Each Geosense Wi-SOS 100 can connect to 1-2 single output sensors or a single biaxial tilt sensor. The electronics within the Geosense Wi-SOS 100 are completely encased in a waterproof (IP68) casing, therefore eliminating the need for additional casings. The small, light casing allows the Geosense Wi-SOS 100 to be installed in small spaces. The Geosense Wi-SOS 100 has an internal batter that is estimated to last 5+ years at 15 minute reading intervals, but may change depending on reading frequency. This eliminates the need for external battery packs and thus placing the Geosense Wi-SOS 100 is a lot more flexible. Geosense Wi-SOS 100 comes with a fully integrated GSM SIM card. The SIM card comes fully set up and is tailored to the country in which they are being used in. This gives the customer absolute piece of mind, in the knowledge that the Geosense Wi- SOS 100 comes ready to use. Geosense Wi-SOS 100 is accessed through a cloud-powered sensor platform. Each customer will get an individual login, which can be used to view all of the Geosense Wi-SOS 100 s at each individual site. The data can be viewed in simple graphs and visualisations for ease of reading. This allows customers to build up a network of Geosense Wi-SOS 100 s and monitor each node at each site remotely. The data can also be downloaded in CSV format for use in excel. 5

6 1.3 EMC - Electro Magnetic Compatibility EMC is the electromagnetic interaction of electrical and electronic equipment with other electrical and electronic equipment. All electronic devices have the potential to emit and be affected by electromagnetic fields. With the reduction in size of electrical components and the ever increasing amount of electrical & electronic devices such as mobile phones, two-way radios, safety control systems, signalling, generators, welding equipment, power cables etc in all environments, especially construction sites, there is a huge potential for devices to interfere with each other. Geosense Wi-SOS 100 has been designed and tested for EMC under the relevant CE marking directives (see declaration). 6

8 4.0 DELIVERY This section should be read by all users of the Geosense Wi-SOS Packaging Geosense Wi-SOS 100 s are packed for transport to their desired location. Packaging is suitably robust to allow normal handling by transport companies. However, 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 transport company and Geosense. 4.2 Handling Geosense Wi-SOS 100 s are robust electronic items, therefore but there is a risk of damage if incorrectly handled.they and their associated equipment should always be handled with care during transport storage and installation. Once the shipment has been checked ( see below ), it is recommended that the Geosense Wi-SOS 100 remains in its original packaging for storage or transport. 4.3 Inspection It is vital 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 that are detailed on the documents are included in the shipment. Check that the equipment has not been physically damaged. If components are missing or damaged, contact the delivery company, the supplier and / or Geosense. 8

9 3.0 MARKING The markings found on the Geosense Wi-SOS 100 are shown below:- FRONT SIDE 9

10 4.4 Storage All equipment should be stored in a dry environment that is protected from direct sunlight. Although the Geosense Wi-SOS 100 has a waterproof rating of IP68, care should be taken to not damage the outer casing, as this would compromise the protection and possibly lead to failure of the product. The Geosense Wi-SOS 100 is supplied with the sensor wires already attached, and care must be taken to not damage these wires. When not being used the Geosense Wi-SOS 100 should be cleaned and stored inside. 10

11 5.0 INSTALLATION The following sections describe some typical installation procedures for Geosense Wi-SOS 100 This section of the manual is intended for all users of Geosense Wi-SOS 100 and is intended to provide guidance with respect to their installation. Please refer to the manual for each sensor being used in conjunction with the Wi-SOS 100. It is VITAL that personnel responsible for the installation and use of the Geosense Wi-SOS 100 READS and UNDERSTANDS the manual, prior to working with the equipment. ********** As stated before, it is vital to check all the equipment in the shipment soon after taking delivery and well before installation is to be carried out. Check that all components that are detailed on the shipping documents are included. 5.1 Installation- Geosense Wi-SOS 100 Wiring details During installation the following wiring procedure should be observed. If the client chooses to use their own specified cable the colour system should be ignored and the letter designation should be followed only. Colour Description V + Red 15 v output from Geosense Wi-SOS 100 Blue S Return from sensor Green G Ground Geosense Wi-SOS 100 nodes normally come ready wired to the sensor required but in the event they are supplied separately the following wiring should be used. 11

13 5.2 Using a magnet to force a website connection Using a small supplied magnet (supplied with each unit) the Geosense Wi-SOS 100 can be forced to attempt an immediate connection to the website. A successful connection will validate the GPRS coverage at the chosen installation and also upload details of signal strength to the website. 5.3 Magnet Activation In order to activate the GPRS connection with the magnet complete the following steps :- 1.) Hold the magnet over the magnet icon as seen in the picture A single tone will sound while the magnet is in the correct position 2.) Hold the magnet in this position until the blue light appear and the tone stops 13

14 3.) Remove the magnet and an ascending tone will sound to indicate a successful activation 4.) Wait for seconds during which time the blue light will flash and a short activity tone will both sound approximately every 5 seconds. NOTE: if this is the first time the Geosense Wi-SOS 100 has been activated since shipping, this process may take several minutes. 5.) Upon successful connection the light will turn green and a positive ascending tone will sound to indicate a successful connection 6.) Upon a failed connection, the light will turn red and a negative descending tone will sound to indicate a failure. 14

15 5.4 Failure to connect If the unit fails to connect it may be due to the following:- A.) Insufficient Signal strength Move the unit to a higher or more open location. B.) Temporary GPRS network problem The Geosense Wi-SOS 100 uses GSM to upload its data, therefore by using a mobile phone you can check that you are in an adequate reception area. C.) Damaged Geosense Wi-SOS 100 unit. The unit has been damaged since last used. Check connections to sensors have not mistakenly fed high voltages in the device.
