MControl Can’t Connect to the Internet When Using an EDR
Workstation
1.
First check to see if you are connecting through an EDR’s Internet service. Most
companies will provide this through their workstation.
The cable that the
EDR’s
workstation uses should be a CAT 5 Ethernet connection and will connect to the back of
the workstation. There will most often be a second Ethernet port in the back of the
workstation. Take another Ethernet cable and connect it to the empty port on the
workstation. Connect the other end to the MLogger at the red WAN port located at the
back of MLogger. Make sure your computer is connected to MLogger through a blue
port for a local connection. Allow some time to pass so an address can be located with
the EDR’s server. Next open Internet Explorer and confirm that you now have internet.
2.
When using a Pason workstation it is possible to use the MLogger’s router like a switch.
Plug an Ethernet cable into the Workstation’s second network port and the other end into
a blue port in MLogger. Connect your computer’s Ethernet cable into another one of
MLogger’s blue ports. Open Internet Explorer and access a web page to confirm.
Filament Baseline is drifting on MControl after zeroing them
1.
This is caused by a temperature change in the atmosphere. The MLogger has a
heated detector block that houses the filaments. This block is kept at a steady 120
degrees Fahrenheit to help keep the sample gas at a constant temperature. However,
even with the heated detector block the base line will have a noticeable drift from
daylight to nighttime because of the natural temperature change.
2.
Check the PID controller for activity. It’s located on the
Blue side
. The display should
read 120 degrees Fahrenheit, or close to it. If there is no activity, switch to the spare
MLogger and contact the MSI office.
100% Methane Test Gas Calibration Does Not Reach 10,000 Units
1.
Check that all exhaust lines are connected. The main exhaust must be connected to
provide enough backpressure for a good sample. The total gas units may be off by
2000 units if there is no main exhaust line connected to the correct poly-flow fitting.
2.
Check the TCD and CCD filaments; there may be a leak where it seals to the detector
block. Make sure the screws are snug; do not over tighten the screws. There should
