System Overview  
The ADS® XiLog+ is  a telemetric data logger that communicates  through the 
GSM (Global System for Mobile) cellular radio network using  either SMS 
(S hort Messaging Service)  or GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) .  
The XiLog+ is available from the factory with either a quad ba nd antenna or a 
connector to receive  an external antenna.  The external antenna version does 
not support  an internal antenna , and the internal version does not support an 
external  antenna .  The permanently mounted internal antenna  cannot be 
ex changed  or replaced .

Example of XiLog+ installation 
Note:   The battery packs in the  XiLog+ are designed to last 5 years. 
However, data logger configuration and usage will impact the 
estimated battery life.   Therefore, ADS  does not guarantee that all 
battery packs  will last for 5 years .  Refer to Appendix C:  Battery Life  
on page 69 for more information. 
Caution:  The XiLog+ contains Lithium batteries and radio 
transmitters.  These batteries must be removed before shipping the unit 
by air.  Please refer to  Appendix D:  Airfreight Restrictions on page 70 
for more information.

 Features 
  Logs average data at 1- second to 24-hour intervals  and flow totals, 
minimum, and maximum values for 24- hour periods 
 Provides c yclic logging for continuous, indefinite data collection .  New 
data begins overwrit ing the oldest record s once the memory is full. 
Standard memory size of 1GB accommodates data storage for  200 
million  readings . 
 Reports  logged data via SMS  or GPRS and current data (upon request) , 
real -time alarm, and alarm clear alerts via text message to  designated 
mobile phones.  D ata collection can occur as often as every 15 
minutes.  
 Fully submersible to IP68 
  Logs data fro m all flow meters, such as Kent, Meinecke (Socam),  
Schlumberger, and ABB Kent -Taylor  
 Logs bi -directional flow  
 Logs directly from combination meters  
 Supports i nternal or external pressure transducer  
 Exhibits p ressure accuracy  of +0.1% (meet ing the WRC code of  
practice for network analy sis) 
 Accepts m any variations  of analog input  
 Performs i ndependent logging and SMS r eporting 
 Supports e vent logging , including change -of -state monitoring and 
alarm ing (for overflow monitoring)  
 Offers options for a highly -tuned underground antenna  or external 
antenna s  
 Provides a f lexible wakeup regime, allowing regular contact with the 
XiLog+  
 Generates  alarms based on designated thresholds or profiles and sends 
the alarms via SMS/GPRS to established contacts   
 Supports backwar ds compatibility for sensors
