Deployment
Ensure the screw thread for the antenna is clean, before hand-tightening the antenna to the
Permalog® Plus logger. If optional lifting hooks have been purchased, please ensure these
are fitted tightly.
Start/reset* the Permalog® Plus logger by passing a magnet close to and across the
communication LED. Successful start/reset operation is confirmed by observing the LED
flash in sequence (Red, Green) after swiping.
*This is the only way to reset the unit. Once reset, it will operate continuously for the life of
the batteries. It can only be switched off using the Patroller. The guaranteed battery life
depends on factory settings. Any medium strength magnet will reset the Permalog®; for
convenience, the magnet on another Permalog® may be used. Do not attempt to remove the
magnet from the bottom of any Permalog®.
Permalog® Plus loggers will retain the history even if reset.
*Please see the Patroller II User Manual for more information.
Attach the Permalog® Plus logger to a metal pipe fitting using the magnet on the base.
Always ensure the contact point is free from dirt so that the magnet makes a good contact.
We recommend the use of a wire brush to clean the pipe/valve/hydrant fitting prior to
attaching the logger.
For best performance, it is recommended that the Permalog® Plus logger is deployed in a
vertical/upright position as this gives the most effective radio range.
Redeployment Notes:
When removing from fitting, please grasp the main body of the logger or use the op-tional
lifting hooks. Removal of the logger by grasping the antenna can cause perma-nent damage
and is not covered by warranty.
It is recommended the data be read from the logger and stored on the Patroller prior to
resetting the logger for redeployment.
Store unused loggers in the original packaging. This ensures the loggers are kept apart
enough as to not continuously reset them causing internal clock errors.
