From the Units tab of the Site window, you may select the units
of measure for the data types reported by your Isco instrument.
Active data types have a pull-down list. Select one of the
available units of measure, and click Apply to save the change.
Note: After readings are stored in the Flowlink database, they
can be converted to other units of measure in a graph or table.
The Alarms tab of the Site window supports Isco instruments
that have the factory-installed telephone modem with voice
messaging. When a user-defined alarm condition is met,
Flowlink notifies the contacts in sequence until an
acknowledgment is received.
To setup a dialout alarm:
1. Connect to the instrument.
2. Select the Alarms tab.
3. In the Phone number list box, type the contact telephone
numbers.
You must enter at least one number; you can enter as
many as five numbers; you can enter the same number
more than once.
Each telephone number string can contain up to eighteen
characters. You can use dashes or leave them out. You
can include the pause (“,” or comma) Hayes AT command
in the number. The pause is preset as a two second delay.
You can also use the following commands:
@ (wait for silence)
W (wait for dial tone)
T (tone dial)
P (pulse dial)
4. In the Site ID text box, type an easily remembered
number that you can associate with the flow meter. The
modem uses this number in its alarm message.
When the ID box first appears, Flowlink automatically
fills it with the last three digits of the Instrument ID
number; you can use this number or enter another. (This
number is used to acknowledge the alarm call using a
touch-tone telephone. Press *(star) and the ID number
and the instrument will respond with “Acknowledged.”)
5. Type the time between calls in the Delay Between Calls
text box.
The delay can be as long as 127 minutes. Remember that
the modem calls the next contact number only when the
previous call is unacknowledged.
6. To use the call-back feature, check the Enable Call Back
check box. Pagers are convenient to list in the contact
