To ground the EOL Zenith®, connect one end of the copper ground wire (usually yellow-green color) to the data logger GND terminal and the other end to an independent grounding spike. If the enclosure is metallic you must also connect the enclosure to the ground wire, to do so, all metallic enclosures have a connection
Usually solar power systems for the EOL Zenith consist of a solar panel, a charge controller and a battery. Important! Always connect the battery terminals directly to the BAT + and – on the data logger. Do not connect the LOAD+ and LOAD- to the data logger. The reason we recommend this is to avoid
In addition to dimensioning the solar power supply system correctly, it is important to orientate the solar panels appropriately for maximizing the energy production during the season with less sun energy. In general the solar panel should be facing GEOGRAPHICAL SOUTH in the Northern hemisphere and GEOGRAPHICAL NORTH in the Southern hemisphere. And as a
To test that the solar power supply system has been installed and performs properly you need a multimeter set to “Read Current” mode. Step 1 To begin with you should check if the output from the solar panel is correct. You should do this on a sunny day (Please connect the multimeter as shown in
We recommend using a flotation (back-up) sealed lead-acid battery (12VDC). This kind of battery has no maintenance and can be transported in any orientation. If you are performing wind measurement and are using an internet / GSM connection to your data logger, we recommend using a 24Ah battery. This gives autonomy of approximately 1 month
We offer two alternative satellite solutions, Iridium and BGAN. Either solution enables you to connect with data loggers installed in remote locations without GSM coverage while maintaining full compatibility with the other features and accessories of our data loggers, including: Live data connections Remote modifications to logger settings incl. firmware upgrades Automatic data download GPS
Because of the extensive number of customers with wind & solar measurement campaigns in several different countries we know that many of you find it difficult to acquire local SIM cards with the optimal settings and local GPRS / 3G coverage. We have listened to your feedback and the need for a more effective way
The EOL Manager is used to prepare the configuration file for the EOL Zenith data logger. The .sit file (configuration file) is then uploaded to the data logger. EOL Manager downloads the encrypted .log file from the data logger. The .log file contains all the RAW data (the pulses and Hz stored from all the
Yes, you can use any SD memory card (with a maximum capacity of 2GB). However, not all SD memory cards have the same quality. We strongly recommend using the industrial grade SD memory card that is supplied together with the data logger. Please make sure that the SD card is correctly formatted before use.
If you are using the SD memory card that was supplied together with the data logger, the SD card is already formatted. In case you want to re-format a SD card please follow these steps: Turn off the data logger Insert the SD card you want to format into the data logger Turn the data
