Mounting & Installation Housing Configuration The HDR is available in many configurations.
Battery Pack and Back-up Batteries The HDR units utilize (1) 1.5-volt, encapsulated “D” cell alkaline battery as its primary power source. The pack supplied with the HDR consists of an alkaline dry cell and a protection circuit. (Part number(s) on page 42) NOTE: This battery is not rechargeable. HDR units are shipped from the factory powered and ready to install in the field (unless otherwise specified). The HDR incorporates an on board uninterruptible power supply.
External Modem The HDR is equipped with two RS232 communication ports. The Direct Port is dedicated to local direct PC communication at 19200 baud using the HDR com cable. The Remote Port is used for connecting a modem. Remote baud rates available are 300, 1200, 2400 (default), 4800, 9600 and 19200. When configuring for a remote modem, the “Remote Modem Baud Rate” in the unit must match the baud rate of the field modem being used. Connect the RX, TX & GND from the modem to the instrument on J13.
Internal Modem The HDR may be equipped with an internal modem and phone line surge suppressor. The modem is pre-configured and pre-wired from the factory, ready for remote communication. If the HDR is equipped with the phone line suppressor, it will be connected directly into the modem’s RJ-11 connector. A 12-volt battery pack (8 “AA” batteries) is supplied, but not connected when shipped. The user must connect prior to remote communication.
HDR Host Operating Software HDR Host is the companion software interface to the HDR instrument. The application program provides for configuration, calibration, local and remote communication, interrogation, data collection and data processing. The program is supplied on CD ROM media. The self expanding executable “setup” file will guide the user through the installation process. This install will work in Windows operating systems for Win XP, Win Vista, Win 7 & Win 8.
