9. Installation of logger The logger must be securely fastened to a wall or similar using the four brackets and bolts provided Care should be taken when selecting the mounting position to ensure that enough room is left under the cabinet to allow for access of the transducer connection cables If the logger is a mains unit connect the power supply to the three way connector mounted inside the logger enclosure This is clearly marked Mains Input and also indicates which are the live neutral and earth connections The sensors to be monitored can now be connected The exact connection of the sensors will vary depending upon the type of sensor to be used However since all loggers are built to meet the customers requirements all the multiplexers will be clearly labelled with their appropriate channel number and connection details Once all the sensors are connected the logger is now ready for use User Manual Section 4 Installation of software 4 01 4 02 4 03 The software comprises of two parts e Communication Software LoggerNet e Data logger program LoggerNet Installation 4 01 1 CD ROM Installation The following instructions assume that drive D is a CD ROM drive on the computer from which the software is being installed If the drive letter is different substitute the appropriate drive letter e Put the installation CD in the CD ROM drive The install application should come up automatically If so skip to step 3
