Application example (DCX-22 AA installation)
The sinking pipe is secured firmly at the
measuring location. Openings should be
provided above ground level if the sink-
ing pipe is buried in the ground. These
ensure that water can enter.
The sensor is lowered into the sinking
pipe. It is connected by the cable to the
housing. The housing contains the elec-
tronics, the battery and the air pressure
sensor.
The adapter ring is screwed onto the
electronics housing and rests on the
edge of the sinking pipe.
The system can be connected on site to
a laptop using a data cable. The stored
measuring values can now be read out,
or the instrument can be reconfigured.
DCX configuration/read-out
A converter is required to establish a connection between the instrument and the PC for configur-
ing or reading out the DCX. The K-103A interface converter is utilized to establish a connection to
the serial interface (RS 232). However, a K-104A converter is required if the logger is to be con-
nected to a USB interface (see accessories). The USB driver supplied with the instrument should
be installed when using this converter.
One end of the cable fitted to the converter is then plugged into the DCX, the other end is con-
nected to the PC.
The Logger 4.x software can now be started on the computer.
Caution:
The DCX must not be disconnected from the interface during communication (writing, reading
out, online function). The program must always be terminated before unplugging the instrument.
