1.1 Introduction

PrimeLog is a family of advanced submersible dataloggers, designed specifically for

applications in the Water Industry. A typical range of applications includes:

•District, domestic and leakage flow monitoring

•Network analysis

•Pressure monitoring

•PRV monitoring

•Open channel flow

•Reservoir and borehole depth

The range of loggers offers single, two or four data input channels; this manual describes

operation in a general manner, thus some sections may not be applicable to particular loggers.

life. Primayer Limited does not guarantee that all batteries will last for the five-

year period.

•Cyclic, start-stop, stop when full modes

•Readback of all data, data since last read, or defined data

practice for network analysis)

1.1.5 Special features

•One logger accepts many analogue inputs:

pressure and depth sensors 4-20mA voltage (various ranges)

1.2 System Description

Please Note: This manual has been produced to provide information on as many standard

features as possible, but not all configurations can be foreseen nor all uses

anticipated.

Primayer provides a Technical Support service to assist with all matters

relating to the configuration and use of PrimeLogs. Customers are encouraged

to make use of this service. Please use the email address

[email protected] or see the address and phone contact details at the

front of this manual.

1.2.1 Overview

Models in the PrimeLog range of submersible dataloggers are available with one to four input

channels and various options for powering; all models are also available with an internal

pressure transducer. The range of loggers and the facilities provided by each type are shown

in the tables in the previous section, and are described in more detail below.

All loggers are fitted with military-grade connectors and are sealed to IP68. Loggers are

optionally available with an integral PSTN modem for remote programming and data

collection.

PrimeLog (Model 2)

Local communication is by serial connection to a PC or a hand-held Psion Workabout, which

provides a local display for real time measurement as well as inspection of recorded values.

Comprehensive software support is provided by the PC-based PrimeWare host application.

This is a multi-tasking system, running under Windows 95, 98, Me, NT, 2000 or XP, which

handles both local and remote loggers simultaneously. PrimeWare incorporates advanced

graphing and reporting using Wizards, simplifying greatly the presentation of data. The user

interface is fully GUI-compliant, providing full drag-and-drop facilities and dockable toolbars.

See the PrimeWare User Manual for more information.

PrimeLog with integral modem (Model 2M)

PrimeLog units are powered by an internal battery with a design life of five years or more,

depending on the nature of use. However, it should be noted that battery life will be affected

significantly by temperature. If the unit is operated continually above 30°C or below 0°C then

battery life will be reduced. All models have the option of an internal PSTN modem powered

by an additional internal battery. These models’ casings have been lengthened to

accommodate the extra cells.

1.2.1.1 Auxiliary battery unit

An auxiliary battery unit containing 6 C-size alkaline cells is available to supply additional

power to digital sensors with heavy current demands. When such a sensor is selected for a

logger (using Logger Setup and the Digital tab options – see the PrimeLog Menu section of

the PrimeWare manual), a warning message is displayed to advise the user of the need to

use the unit. The disposable pack is fully encapsulated to meet IP68 and connects to the

logger through the Comms connector.

Because of the connection method, the auxiliary battery pack is connected to the logger after

programming and has to be disconnected temporarily when communicating with the logger.

This will result in the logger not recording data from the digital sensor during periods of

disconnection.

All battery voltages may be monitored continually and alarms generated if any voltage falls

below the preset threshold – see the Battery Warning Setup section of the PrimeWare User

Manual for more information.

1.2.1.2 Auxiliary Battery/Communications adaptor

If it is necessary that logging continues during communication periods, an adaptor is available

which allows the battery pack to be connected continuously whilst providing access to the

comms connector.

1.3 Hardware Connections

1.3.1 Sealing

The connectors fitted to PrimeLogs are waterproof only when mated with a matching

connector, or when the captive sealing cap is fitted.

For continued full environmental performance it is essential that the sealing caps are fitted

unless the connector is in use.

Sensors supplied by Primayer are factory-fitted with sealed matching connectors. Connectors

fit with a bayonet (twist-and-click) action of the rotating shell.

Connectors will seal correctly only if foreign matter is excluded from the mating faces. Logger

sensors operate at low levels of current, consequently any penetration of moisture is likely to

cause electrical leakage causing degradation or destruction of data. Contaminated

connectors may be cleaned by scrubbing with a brush using industrial alcohol (methylated

spirits).

It is good practice when connections are made to ensure that the sealing caps are also mated

to each other. This prevents dirt and moisture accumulating in the cap and so being

transferred to the connector.

1.3.2 Polarisation

All PrimeLog connectors are polarised, such that it is impossible to connect the wrong input.

1.3.3 PrimeLog Input Connections

PrimeLog loggers have their connectors identified by logos, which are shown against the

appropriate input below.

IMPORTANT: Due to the operational requirements of depth transducers, it is essential that

the connector is never immersed in or exposed to water. The vent tube from the transducer

sensor is terminated at the connector and must be open to atmosphere to sense pressure in

vented gauge mode. If water is allowed to enter the vent tube then the operation of the sensor

may be impaired or irreparably damaged. This damage is not covered by any warranty.

1.3.3.1 Digital Inputs

Commonly it is only necessary to connect the sensor correctly, as the logger provides the

necessary power. Sensors which require to be powered by an external power source are

discussed in the chapter on Interfacing.

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.

1.3.3.2 Internal Pressure Transducer

Loggers fitted with an internal pressure transducer have a male quick-release connector

mounted on the logger end cap.

The integral pressure transducer is available in a wide range of sensitivities, from 3 bar to 25

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 calibrating the logger.
