4 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

6 3.0 MARKINGS The Geosense SmartMux Interface is labelled with the following information:- Manufacturers telephone number & website address Product group: Readout Model: SMI Input supply: 220 Volts AC to 12 Volt DC or 12 Volt DC Serial number: CE & WEEE mark 6

7 4.0 DELIVERY This section should be read by all users of the Geosense SMI. 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. 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.. DO NOT DROP AS THIS MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO INTERNAL COMPONENTS 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. 7

8 5.0 OPERATION Before the Geosense SMI can acquire readings it must first be configured 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 Project Handler. Home > 4. Projects Handler The projects Handler menu is used to create, delete and navigate between projects 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 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 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 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. 8

9 5.0 OPERATION contd 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 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 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 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 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 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. 9

10 5.0 OPERATION contd SMI Configuration. Home > 1. SMI Configurations contd Reboot Home > 1. SMI Configurations > 6. Reboot This option restarts the device without using the On/Off toggle switch Calibrations Home > 1. SMI Configurations > 7. Calibrations The device is calibrated at Geosense and this option should not be used unless instructed by Geosense staff Project Configuration. Home > 2. Project Config. This menu is used to configure the devices associated with the project. A project can consist of 1 device or several devices. Where several devices form a project each of those devices must be connected together and adhere to the RS485 standard. Note* the device being configured does not need to be connected during the configuration. In this instance a device describes either a: Geosense Analogue Smart Mux Geosense Digital Smart Mux Geosense Tilt Array Geosense Digital Tilt Sensor Sensors connected to Geosense Analogue Smart Mux do not need to be considered MUX configuration Home > 2.
