4. OPERATION AND RETRIEVING DATA
Once the batteries are clipped into the battery holders both the Data Logger and the PIR
are functional and operating.
The unit will log an event for each operation of the PIR, note that date and time are stored
with each event as well as the comment ENTRY. There are several event types that are
stored in addition to the PIR operation, they are as follows;
Log Reset
This is always the first event it shows that the log file has been reset
purposely as opposed to the logger losing the data.
Entry The PIR registered someone either entering or exiting the facility
Power Cycle This event is created on power up of the Q54 logger and is most
probably a result of the batteries being changed.
Old Time This is the time on the Q54 logger before the time was changed. This
event is always followed by a New Time event. Possible reasons for a
time change are: daylight saving or maybe an engineer is
reconfiguring the device.
New Time This is the time the Q54 logger was changed to.
It is expected that the unit is being used in conjunction with Q55 Wireless receiver and
the DATSCAN software running on an iPaq. Please refer to the DATSCAN manual
(included on the software installation CD) for the software installation and operating
guide.
1. Connect the Q55 Receiver to the iPaq via the cable supplied.
2. Switch the Receiver on via the front toggle switch.
3. Stand within 3 metres of the Q54 Data Logger, this can generally be done outside
of the logger location.
4. Run the DATSCAN software application and retrieve data, see manual for more
information.
When retrieving data from the Q54, the last thing the DATSCAN software does after
retrieving the data and creating the csv file, is to clear the data in the logger itself. This
has the advantage that if you lose you connection during the retrieval process the data
will still be available in the unit.
Error messages will prompt you if a connection error occurs.
During the data connection the DATSCAN receives and displays the Q54 battery (Data
Logger not PIR) status. Note that this display shows different colours as the state of the
battery changes (declines in charge).
