Installation Guide

•
Set the MySQL database passwords for both users and click “Set”. Clicking on the “Default
Vals” button will fill the fields with the factory default passwords. This is provided as a
convenience if password security is not an issue (for example in an evaluation system).
•
Click on the “Create a Site Entry” button to auto-fill a Site entry with the information from
this panel.
•
Unplug the USB cable. It is not needed again unless you need to change the IP address or
the database passwords at a future time.
MDT Configuration
All MDT come from the factory with a default factory-set configuration. The following
parameters can be custom configured at the factory only; they cannot be changed by the user.
There are no parameters which can be configured on the DCAP or Receiver.
•
Monitor Type, defined as the type of meter the MDT is attached to for readings. Our basic
pulse MDT all work with 99% of the meters, but special units can be ordered for Hersey
pulse meters, Encoder meters, etc. Additional data can be factory configured, such as
temperature measurements.
•
Transmit Interval, defined as the time between scheduled transmissions of temperature
data. Regular pulse meters transmit once every hour (60 minutes). Our Time of Use units
are configured to transmit four times an hours (15 minutes).
•
Measure Interval, defined as the time between scheduled temperature measurements.
This is used in conjunction with Temperature Change (see below) and must be smaller than
the Transmit Interval time. A value of 0 for this parameter will disable measurements in
between the Transmit Interval. The units for this parameter are in seconds, with default set
to 0.
•
Temperature Change, defined as a percentage change in the Thermistor resistance value
(i.e. temperature) detected by the MDT. A Delta Temp alarm will be generated within the
PC Software if a MDT reading taken at a Measure Interval is more than Temperature Change
percent from the prior Transmit Interval value. The units for this parameter are Percent
(%), with the default value set to 0.
