2 HARDWARE SET-UP
Begin by inserting the Flash Memory card into the Elcometer 320 Climate Monitoring System Base Unit.
This card contains all of the software required to make the components work together and should be
present in the machine before it is switched on. Secondly, plug the Bluetooth USB dongle into a free USB
port on the Elcometer 320 Climate Monitoring System Base Unit. This will allow a connection to the
Elcometer 320 Climate Monitoring System in the event of a network problem.

The light system requires its own power socket and connection to the base unit via the socket marked
“COM1”. The Elcometer 319 gauge has a USB port underneath a rubber flap on the base of the gauge. It
may be connected by any of the other available USB ports on the base unit and is powered from this;
batteries are not required for the gauge to function as part of the Elcometer 320 Climate Monitoring
System. Finally, connect the Elcometer 320 Climate Monitoring System Base Unit to your network with a
suitable Ethernet cable and the Climate Station is ready. The on switch for the device is located on the
back of the Elcometer 320 Climate Monitoring System Base Unit.
The Elcometer 319 gauge may be used with an external temperature sensor if required. A K-type
connector is located beneath a rubber flap on the top of the gauge. Connect a sensor here and the gauge
will automatically switch from using the integrated surface temperature sensor to the external one. Note
that the integrated surface temperature sensor will be disabled and no measurements will be gathered
from it.
3 SOFTWARE SET-UP
3.1 INTRODUCTION
The Elcometer 320 Climate Monitoring System is provided with two pieces of software; Elcomonitor Log
and Elcomonitor View. Both pieces of software need to be present on the network in order for the system
to function. The software can be run in a client/server configuration on multiple machines or as a
standalone installation on one PC. If using the client/server configuration the Elcomonitor Log application
should be installed on a Windows 2003 or later server and the Elcomonitor View application should be
installed on Windows XP or later PCs. This configuration allows multiple view applications to be run on
separate workstations simultaneously.

en
If using the standalone installation the log application should be started up first followed by the view and in
all situations the log application must be running for the system to work.
3.2 THE ELCOMONITOR LOG APPLICATION
Begin by installing the Log Application onto your PC and following the on screen wizard. Once this is
complete, open the application.
The main screen will list all of the Climate Stations that the application has made a connection to via
Bluetooth or over a network. It will initially be empty as no stations have been added yet.
Search for Climate Stations via Bluetooth
If your PC is Bluetooth enabled you may connect to a Climate Station with this method when in range. The
button opens a wizard that allows you to find stations in range. The search process may take a
few minutes. Once complete, the application will indicate the stations located (if any) and checking the box
next to them will add them to the log. Click the Finish button to close the wizard
If the wizard is unable to find the Bluetooth Climate Station try again. Repeated failures may indicate that
the station is out of range.
Search for Networked Climate Stations
The application can search for Climate Stations hardwired to the same network with the button.
The wizard will search a range of IP addresses on a network and attempt to locate a Climate Station at
each address. This process will take several minutes to complete. Any new stations the wizard has found
R

en
will be displayed after the search has finished and these can be added to the log by checking the boxes
and pressing “Finish” on the wizard.
Manually Adding Climate Stations
If the search wizard is unable to locate some Climate Stations these may be added manually using the
button. A wizard will prompt for the host name or IP address of the station. The host name is a
unique label that is attached to every device on a network. Often this is the same as the “computer name”
that you can edit manually in windows. Every computer on a network also features a unique IP address,
which is what the network uses to route data to individual devices. Once the information is entered the
application will attempt to connect to the station at this address. If successful, the station will be added to
the log.
The main log screen will now be populated with the Climate Stations that have been added and the
application will attempt to connect to them and periodically request data. Information is displayed on
screen about when the last measurement set was downloaded from each station.
Additional Settings
The log software generates a daily report at 12:15am every day for the previous day’s data. To specify the
folder in which they are placed click the “Settings” tab and browse for the desired location. Leaving this
area blank will disable report creation.
Also available on this screen is a facility to protect the database with passwords for administrators and
users as well as a choice of units for the specific humidity reading. Finally, a logo can be placed in the top
R

en
right corner of the automatically generated report. Pressing the browse button allows you to locate any
compatible .jpg or .bmp image file in windows explorer.
Renaming a Station
Stations can be renamed into something more meaningful. Select the “Stations” tab, highlight the relevant
station and click the button. A window prompting for a new name will appear.
Starting and Stopping Stations
Individual Climate Stations can be started and stopped remotely using the button. Stopping a
station stops all climate data from being logged and hides the data in the Elcomonitor View software.
Stopped Stations may be restarted at any time with the button.
3.3 THE ELCOMONITOR VIEW APPLICATION
The Elcomonitor View software allows remote monitoring of the individual Climate Stations. All of the
readings the Climate Stations are taking are displayed here along with any warnings and notifications.
Install the Elcomonitor View software on any PC where you need to view the climatic conditions at each of
the Climate Stations. Ensure that the Elcomonitor Log application is running on the computer you have
chosen as the server before you continue.
R

en
When started for the first time, the software will request the address of the computer running the
Elcomonitor Log application. If this is the same as the computer on which you are installing the view
application on then leave this as “localhost”. The program will now start and you will be presented with a
dialog box requesting what level of access is required for a choice of either “Administrator” or “User”. The
features offered to both are as follows.
Note: Should you be unsure about the IP address of the server it is displayed in the “About” menu of the
Log application.
Stations
Stations are displayed in an alphabetically sorted grid with the individual climatic parameters selected by
the user. Measurements that have had limits defined are shown colour coded red, yellow or green in the
measurement panel as well as along the bottom of the screen.
