About NexSens Technology, Inc.
NexSens Technology, Inc. was started in the 1990s with a mission to advance the capabilities
and simplify the development of environmental monitoring systems. Our main focus is on the
creation of easy-to-use computer software and powerful communications technology to provide
advanced remote data acquisition and data logging systems.
iChart is an easy-to-learn, easy-to-use Windows-based software program designed to interface
with the industry‟s most popular environmental monitoring sensors and systems. A large multi-
vendor instrument library makes setup quick and easy. iChart automates much of the tedious
programming, data collection and manual data processing common with other environmental
data collection systems.
The NexSens iSIC (Intelligent Sensor Interface and Control) is a state-of-the-art line of data
loggers that simplify the collection of real-time data from environmental sensors and monitoring
instruments. The iSIC data logger supports multi-vendor sensor connections and is designed for
environmental data monitoring with NexSens communication equipment and software.
Remote data acquisition systems have been developed specifically for unattended monitoring
applications. NexSens telemetry systems provide real-time access and 2-way communication to
remote environmental monitoring systems via direct-connect, landline phone, radio, and cellular
telemetry.
Unpacking and Inspection
Before you setup your iSIC Data logger, take a few minutes to insure that all equipment is
present and un-damaged. Data loggers ship in custom foam packaging to help avoid damage
from shipments. It is recommended to keep this packaging if you plan on shipping the data
logger again. Among the items included with the iSIC are:
 NEMA 4x enclosure with integral data logger
 RS232 interface cable
 8.5 A-Hr 12V internal iSIC battery
 Five desiccant bags
 Resistor pack (includes four 56 resistors)
 Two feed-through gland fittings
Be sure to check for all signs of visible damage due to shipping – cracks in the enclosure,
damage to the enclosure‟s seal. If any damage is present, please call a NexSens customer
service representative.
