non responsive CR1000


JonnyGP Jan 23, 2014 09:05 AM

I have a CR1000 that I cannot get any response from, either remotely or through direct connectionj to the RS215 port on the module. The logger is connected to a 12V battery and solar panels and the voltage across the input terminals on the face of the logger reads 11.73V.
It looks like some moisture may have dripped onto the logger.

It has been suggested to me I should try to cycle the power down and back up. Can I just remove the DC power into the logger and reconnect or is there a more subtle way of doing this?

Thanks

JonnyGP

Check if there are 5 vdc at Terminal 5V. If yes, try to use the device configuration utility to find out if the ports (RS232 or CSIO) are configured differently from attempts you're performing. The logger how much current absorbs on 12V power supply terminal block?

The drops of moisture remained for a long time? It has generated visible oxide?
If you can test the CR1000 module on other wiring panel.

Sorry yes I meant the RS232 port. I have unplugged and reconnected the power source at the DC input on the logger face and this has done the trick and the logger immediately kicked back into life. Nice simple on and off job. The power supply did not feature and switch for simplicity.

Thanks for the responses, there did not appear to be any visible oxide or long term damage but I have replaced the silica pouches and dried out the enclosure as best I can, hopefully this will keep it dry for a wee while longer.
