I can/will. Likely tomorrow morning.
Just got back from a data collect from the flow meters and want to put that together/send it to Rob.

Sounds like you or I need to just call Hach. This is probably a call to the sales or warrantee department not the tech. Can you call?

Dan,
Don’t wait to replace this logger, if this is an out of box failure Hach needs to get you a replacement. Can you call them and get an Return Authorization, in the meantime they should build you a new logger and get it to you quickly. Sorry this has been an ordeal, we seldom have bad modems.

Back from the field. Here are the steps that I was able to undertake:
- Data download so we didn’t lose any data.
- Did all the restores under “utilities” including firmware
- Took out the batteries
- Put the batteries back in
- Reset the logging program
When I went to the “Communications” tab, the option to choose a modem was not available, as it had been before I took out the batteries and rebooted. I called Hach Tech Support and talked with a tech named Dan. When I described these events to him, he suspected that there was a hardware (modem) issue.
The logger is back in the manhole and collecting data but it is seeming more likely that this machine is the issue.
Best,
Dan Zinder

Thanks Jenn,
I’d like to resolve some questions before heading out to the field for this as the site is quite loud.
First – Do I assume correctly that the sensor will need to be disconnected prior to any of these steps? Then:
1- Flash Firmware
Is this a pre-programmed option?
3- Have Modem activated
Can this step be better elaborated upon?
4- Install batteries and program SVC code.
SVC is: 11132100
5- The meter should call server at this point. If it fails repeat steps 1 and 2.
If step 5 is successful, end here?
Thanks,
Dan Zinder

See the steps below. Not sure the previous email I forwarded included these steps?

Ken,
Here are the steps that I have been successful with in getting FL900 units to call into the server. This is for when the customer is switching between our cell service and their cell service or vice versa.
1- Flash Firmware
2- Pull batteries
3- Have Modem activated
4- Install batteries and program SVC code.
5- The meter should call server at this point. If it fails repeat steps 1 and 2.
6- Have Verizon TechSupport re-provision the modem
7- reinstall the batteries and program SVC code.
8- Meter calls the server. If meter still fails to call the server, the modem may need to come in for replacement.
