It can send new measures to a base station and also download measures acquired during the stand-alone period to the same base station. The device is manufactured by CAPETTI ELETTRONICA s.r.l. and is located at Strada Stratta, 57 10090 CASTIGLIONE TORINESE – TORINO – ITALY. The company’s VAT number is 04837130014. For more information, you can contact them by phone at 011.981.98.11, fax at 011.981.98.210, email info@capetti.it, or visit their website at www.capetti.it.

Product Usage Instructions

Device Pre-set and Use Mode
To transition the device from USB to a Wireless datalogger in the field, follow these steps:

  1. Use the wireless network association command.
  2. Once the association is done, the datalogger becomes a wireless datalogger.
  3. The device will start sending new measures to the base station.
  4. The device will also start a download process towards the same base station of the measures acquired during the stand-alone period.

Device Positioning
Position the device according to Picture 2 – Device positioning in the user manual.

Wireless Device User Interface
The user interface consists of a virtual button that can be activated using the WineCapKey and a two-color LED. To give a command, approach the WineCapKey to the device’s sensible area and keep it in that position. Refer to Picture 3 – WineCapKey positioning for more details.

Enrolling the Device
If the device has not been enrolled before delivery, follow the instructions in the WineCap System – User Manual R30 to enroll the device to the network. If the device is already enrolled but in STANDBY status, issue a TEST command as described in the Commands table (refer to Picture 4).

Installation Procedure

During installation, the device will provide feedback on the radio signal quality through LED flashes. Refer to Picture 5 – Status table – Radio signal quality for the corresponding signal quality indications. To optimize reception, try small movements and select the best position for the device. If the signal is absent or insufficient at the installation point, consider using a WR12 repeater (refer to WineCap System –
User Manual R30) placed between the device and the base station. The repeater should be positioned where the signal level is at least sufficient.

Description

The WSD12-THEE is a datalogger with 2 input channels to acquire outdoor temperature and relative humidity, with storage functionality of samples acquired

Device pre-set and use mode

a. Wireless Mode:

  • No setup operation is needed. Typically, the system is configured from the factory, so the device is already associated with the system base station. The device is in STANDBY mode (refer to Picture 5 – Status table – Radio signal quality) for which is necessary to start it with the TEST command (refer to 5 – Installation procedure.).
  • Otherwise, in case the device is in FACTORY RESET mode (refer to Picture 5 – Status table – Radio signal quality), that means it’s ready for connecting to an existing system, in order to associate it, make reference to the “WineCap System – User Manual R30” software manual. Is necessary to use the “WineCapManager” software on the PC connected to the base station that will be coupled with the device.

b. USB Logger Mode:

  • For this operation mode, stand-alone with data downloads through USB, the connection with the PC, and the “WineCapManager” running on it is necessary in order to modify the device’s operation mode. The sampling interval must be set with the device in “STAND-ALONE” (refer to 6 – Stand-alone USB datalogger installation.) mode and automatically, the device’s clock is aligned with the PC’s clock, in order to ensure the temporal reference of the sample.
  • Sampling operations start may be selected by disconnecting the USB cable or giving the proper command with the magnetic key. (refer to Stand-alone USB datalogger installation.). More details on the device’s connection/disconnection through the USB cable are available on the WineCap System – User Manual R30 manual.

c. On-field transition from USB to Wireless datalogger:

  • This transition is practicable in the field, during the sampling period, using the wireless network association command. When the association is done, the datalogger becomes a wireless datalogger and, besides sending new measures to the base station, starts a download process towards the same base station of the measures acquired during the stand-alone period (refer to Picture 6 – Stand-alone datalogger status).

Wireless device user interface

  • The user interface consists of a “virtual” button that can be activated using the WineCapKey and of a two-color led.
  • To give a command, the user must approach the WineCapKey to the device’s sensible area and keep it in that position.; the following picture (Picture 3 – WineCapKey positioning) shows the device’s sensible points

The following COMMAND table describes the available commands:

Enrolling the device.
Not necessary if performed in the factory before delivery.
Enroll the device to the network referring to the “WineCap System – User Manual R30”. In case the device is already enrolled but in STANDBY status, a TEST command must be issued (refer to Picture 4 – Commands table).

Installation procedure

  • After installing the base station in the appropriate place in charge, (refer to “WineCap System – User Manual R30”), be sure that the device is enrolled to the base station and activated.
  • Head for the environment to be monitored. On the way, to check the quality of the radio coverage, use the “Field Measurer” function.
  • This function is activated by issuing the TEST (refer to Picture 4 – Commands table)command: position the WineCapKey in the spot indicated in Picture 3 – WineCapKey positioning and wait for two AMBER flashes, then remove the WineCapKey from the device. The “Field Measurer” function is enabled for two minutes.
  • To issue commands to the device, place the WineCapKey where indicated.
  • Once the WineCapKey is detected, the LED periodically emits AMBER flashes with a 2-second cadence.
  • For each flash, a different command is associated; to confirm the command the WineCapKey must be removed from the sensible area immediately after the number of flashes corresponding at the desired command. The TEST corresponds to the second pulse and activates the “Field Measurer” function.

The device will give back the radio signal quality through LED flashes:
WIRELESS MODE STATUS Table

  • Optimize reception by selecting the best position: small movements can help.
  • If the signal is absent or insufficient at the install point, a WR12 repeater should be put between (refer to “WineCap System – User Manual R30”). The WR12 repeater itself must be in a position where the signal level is at least sufficient.
  • The network will reconfigure itself automatically; the signal will be good again when the device synchronizes with the WR12 repeater.
  • The link will not be reconfigured until completely lost by the device. Because of this, in some cases, it could be necessary to force the operation. In such cases, put the device in STANDBY mode, then run the TEST again (refer to “WineCap System – User Manual R30”).
    NOTE : The display-equipped datalogger (WD04T) is recommended, to verify the signal quality during device installation.

Stand-alone USB datalogger installation.

  • Install the datalogger in the appropriate place.
  • If the sampling process has not yet been activated, you can start it through the WineCapKey.
  • Bring it closer to the sensitive point, wait for 2 flashes (TEST) (refer to Picture 4 – Commands table) and remove. The datalogger begins sampling according to your settings through your PC.
  • Through the WineCapKey is possible to ask for the status, bring it close to the datalogger for 1 flash (STATE), and remove it.

STAND-ALONE MODE STATUS Table

Shutting off/Reactivating the device

  • If the device is shut off and left unused for a long time, you can issue the STANDBY command (refer to Picture 4 – Commands table). It corresponds to the command number 4 and must be issued twice to confirm the operation.
  • Position the WineCapKey in the spot indicated in Picture 3 – WineCapKey positioning and wait for four AMBER flashes, then remove the WineCapKey from device.
  • Verify that the device asks for confirmation of the STANDBY command with alternate GREEN/RED flashing, then position again the WineCapKey and wait for four flashes again. The device will confirm the STANDBY status lighting the RED led for 2 seconds twice.
  • To reactivate the device the TEST command must be issued.
