1Scope

This document is a guideline for setup and operation of the datalogger model “ICL-C & MasterLink”from

MetriCorr’s Slimline series of remote monitoring equipment. Hereafter referred to as “unit”.

The MetriCorr remote monitoring system uses an online WebService, where all the data from site are

uploaded and stored. The unit consists of a MasterLink module and an ICL-C module, where both modules

are configured and controlled from WebService.

Before you start:

•If you want to link your new unit to an existing MetriCorr WebService account, please email

[email protected] with the following information:

-Account Name (existing or new) you wish the unit(s) to be assigned to.

-User email address (for new users to log in to existing or new accounts)

-MasterLink Serial Number(s) you wish to link to the account

•If you are a new customer or setting up a NEW account, please also provide details of a Primary

contact person for data & administration communication with MetriCorr.

1. Name & title / position

2. Email address

3. Telephone number

Once you have confirmation that the units have been assigned to the account as requested (together with

IMPORTANT: Do not disassemble the unit. If the unit is malfunctioning, please contact MetriCorr.

3.1 Switch on & Initial Communication

Once connected to the antenna and battery, push the 'Status/Control' button ('E' in Figure 3) and release

(<0.5s). This will indicate the unit's current status/mode with a series of flashes on the LED built into the

button. Please refer to the LED flash patterns below.

*The device is Off. 5 short (0.5 milliseconds) flashes per second for 5

seconds. This signal is triggered by a short (<0.5s) push on the push-

button.
