Hach-Lange ORBISPHERE 6110 Basic User Manual - Manual (Page 15)

To transfer the data files, plug an external mass storage device (such as a USB memory stick) into
the USB-A port at the rear left of the instrument. The instrument should automatically recognize the
presence of the device. The files are automatically copied and on completion a pop-up window will
inform you the process completed successfully and you can remove the device.
Remove the device and press YES in the pop-up window to continue, followed by EXIT in the main
window to complete the process. Insert the device into a USB port on your computer and download
the data using standard computer software.
Ethernet configuration
This option allows you to set up an Ethernet connection to download data from the instrument to a
PC. This can be to a web page (see
Web browser configuration on page 15) using an HTTP
connection, or to an OPC client (see OPC client on page 15) using a DCOM connection. These
options allow you to perform several operations directly from your PC. To be able to use these
options, the instrument must be connected to the network.
At the bottom of the ethernet connection screen, check the data access box required.
Web browser configuration
Access the information by launching an internet browser on your PC and typing “http://” followed by
the device name assigned to the instrument. The home page will then be displayed. You will be
required to enter a valid username and password combination (defined in
User management
on page 14). The initial screen will then be displayed. Click on Expand All to see all the available
options.
OPC client
OPC (Open Process Control) is a software interface standard that allows Windows PC programs to
communicate with industrial hardware devices. The OPC client software is installed on a PC and
communicates directly with the OPC server embedded in the 6110 instrument. To activate the link,
check the OPC option on the ethernet configuration screen.
The first time this option is selected, a registration key is required. This can be found on the case of
the supplied CD-ROM. Enter the registration key. Once validated, press the information button next
to the OPC checkbox to display the CLSID number. Enter the instrument ID (shown in the device
name box in the configuration screen) and the CLSID into the OPC client software on the PC to
establish the two-way network link to the instrument.
Scheduled operations
Define the sensor service and calibration schedule for all the sensors installed on the instrument.
• Manual Calibration - Select a sensor and check the activation flag as required. Set the desired
frequency from the options available. When set, the system will set a yellow status indicator
message to inform you when a sensor calibration is required.
• Verification - Define the verification frequency for selected sensors
• Routine maintenance - Define a service frequency for selected instrument maintenance options
• Service - Define a service frequency for selected instrument service options
Calibration
The calibration option is available for all of the internal sensors:
1. Barometric pressure sensor
2. Pressure sensor
3. Temperature sensor
4. CO
2
sensor
5. Flow sensor
6. O

sensor
Note: The above is the actual sequence that must be followed for any calibration (i.e. if you calibrate the CO
2
sensor, then the barometric sensor, pressure sensor and temperature sensor must be calibrated first and in that
order).
After selecting a sensor to calibrate, the details of the last calibration are displayed. This shows the
values recorded, and information about who performed the last calibration and when. The due date
