Keller Gauge Instructions 6

System Test (contd)

Writer
1. Ensure that the Type reads Pressure: If the Writer indicates Water Level, then select the Type
Button until it reads Pressure

2. Select Read Configuration

3. If the Keller Gauge is communicating with the computer, the Battery Capacity will change from 0% (Blue
status bar) to 100% (Green Status Bar)

Keller Gauge Instructions 7

System Test (contd)

Writer

Battery Capacity =
100%, therefore the
Computer is
communicating with
the Gauge

Keller Gauge Instructions 8

System Test (contd)

Reader
Ensure that they Viewer is contained in the
Modules to Execute box.

If it is not in the execute box;

1. Click on Viewer
2. Click on >>
The Viewer will then be transferred to the Modules to
Execute box.
Click Read Contents

The Viewer will open automatically now.

Battery Capacity will
change to 100% (green)
to indicate that the
computer is
communicating with the
gauge

Keller Gauge Instructions 9

System Configuration

If an error message occurs, it means that the computer is not communicating with the gauge. Assuming that the
software has been installed correctly, adjust the COM PORT setting to the highest levels and re-try the previous
steps.

NOTE:

BEFORE GOING ON A PROJECT, ENSURE THAT THE KELLER GAUGE SOFTWARE IS

PROPERLY INSTALLED AND WORKING WITH THE GAUGE. THIS WILL SAVE VALUABLE TIME
ON THE JOB-SITE.

Keller Gauge Instructions 10

Configuring the Keller Gauge for a Project

Open the Writer file

Start Programs Keller Logger DCX Writer

Press Read Configuration

The system will then show Battery Capacity 100% (Green)

This means the Gauge is now ready to receive instruction
If the Gauge has been used before, it will display the previous settings already checked, such as:
P1 (Pressure Sensor 1)
TOB1 (Temperature Sensor 1)
If the Gauge is new, ensure that P1 and TOB1 are checked

Comment Section Place General Comment of the operation

Keller Gauge Instructions 12

Configuring the Keller Gauge for a Project (contd)

1. Ensure P1 and TOB1 are checked

2. Check Synchronize with PC Clock
3. Check Endless Circulation Memory
This will allow the test to record over any older files and not run out of memory
4. Set the timing interval for the Gauge to take readings
The smaller the timing interval, the less recording memory will be available
See estimated record time with available memory
Use the arrows to adjust the intervals
Choose a timing interval that will allow for sufficient memory for the entire operation plus with some contingency
THE GAUGE WILL BE TAKING READINGS FOR EVERY TIMING INTERVAL e.g 1 reading every 1s
5. Adjust the Units for the Test - oF, psi, Foot
6. Check Now
This synchronizes the Start-time with the Time / Date on the computer
7. Check Write Configuration
Writing the Configuration will send all the details to the gauge
Check OK on Start-Time pop-up
The gauge will then start logging data at that time
THE DISPLAY ON THE GAUGE WILL CHANGE FROM END TO RUN indicating that the gauge is now active.

Reading the Data Live

If the Gauge is connected to the computer during the operation, the software can go online and display exactly
what the gauge is recording

Displays the Reading display.

Pressure and Can be toggled to
Temperature on P1,TOB1 and ONLINE
the gauge. Height

Note:
The Temperature
reading is the
value at that
location.

NOTE:
WHEN THE SYSTEM IS ONLINE, THE READER WILL NOT
DOWNLOAD THE GRAPH. GO OFFLINE TO DOWNLINE THE
GRAPH FROM THE READER IF NEEDED

Keller Gauge Instructions 14

Downloading the Data from the Keller Gauge

Open the Reader File

Start Programs Keller Logger DCX Reader

Keller Gauge Instructions 15

Downloading the Data from the Keller Gauge (contd)

Hit Read Contents

Once active, the Reader will display all the files saved on the gauge

Keller Gauge Instructions 16

Downloading the Data from the Keller Gauge (contd)

Check the file that needs to be opened

The file at the top of the display is the latest file.
Any file that is displayed can be downloaded and viewed.

Keller Gauge Instructions 17

Viewing Graph / Data

The data from the Gauge can be downloaded at any time during the operations.
If the gauge is active, a message will pop-up
Un-check the Synchronize Test with PC-Clock and DONT SET A MARK
Setting a mark will split the graph / data into different event and not have a continuous graph

DO NOT SET A
MARK

Keller Gauge Instructions 18

Viewing the Graph and Data

Once the desired file is selected Hit Read Record(s)

The status bar on the Reader will show the data being downloaded. Once complete, the Viewer will open and display the graph

Keller Gauge Instructions 19

Editing the Graph

The data on the graph cannot be edited, but the look of the graph can be edited
On the viewer: Options Edit Graph
Adjust the line of the Graph to Solid Lines
Use P1 Blue and TOB1 Red

Keller Gauge Instructions 20

Saving the Graph / Data

Three components of information can be saved from the Gauge

1. Graph - *.bmp format
2. Table - *.txt format the data from the table can also be exported to an Excel file (*.xls)
3. Info - *.doc format
Save all 3 components in the project file
1. File Save Graph
2. File Save Table
3. File Save Info

NOTE:
DO NOT CHANGE THE NAME OF THE FILES. SAVE THEM AS IS IN THE RESPECTIVE FOLDER

Keller Gauge Instructions 21

Saved Data

Once save in the respective folder, the files will be displayed as:

Presenting Data

The saved Graph from the Keller Gauge can be printed as is -

Keller Gauge Instructions 23

Presenting the Data (contd)

The accepted format for presenting the graph to the client is as followed:
1. Copy and paste the Graph into the given template
2. Copy and paste a 2nd Graph into the given template and label all key event points

The client should be presented with 2 Graphs for the given operation.
1 document will have a clean graph
1 document will have a reported graph with all the event points explained
