Battery Charging and care of Rechargeable Batteries
Always maintain VW Indicator battery in charged condition. Failure to do so will cause premature battery
failure. A battery which gets damaged due to non-compliance with the instructions given below is not
covered by our standard warranty and is also not eligible for free servicing
Indicator’s battery
The EDI-54V Vibrating Wire Indicator uses a removable sealed rechargeable VRLA maintenance free
battery as a power source. A separate battery charger unit operating from universal AC mains supply
is supplied with each ESD-54V system. This battery charger operates from 90 to 270 V AC, 50 or 60
Hz which makes it suitable for operation from AC mains available throughout the world.
A fully discharged battery needs 6 hours of charge to get fully charged. A partially discharged battery will
require proportionately less time but the time is difficult to calculate. As soon as the battery is fully charged
the charging current gets automatically reduced to a safe value.
On receiving the EDI-54V system for the first time recharge the battery for 6 hours using the supplied
mains powered battery charger.
If the EDI-54V is not going to be used for more than 30 days, fully charge the battery before storing the VW
Indicator. Also fully charge the battery before use if the VW Indicator has not been used for more than 30
days.
If the data logger is not going to be used for more than 30 days, recharge the battery at least once every 30
days or so.
When battery voltage is showing 5.9 V in system information screen (at Readout unit) it means
approximately 10 percent of battery capacity is left. Fully recharge the battery at the first opportunity.
Turn off mains AC supply to the charger before connecting to or disconnecting charger from the VW
Indicator.
The rechargeable battery needs replacement every 3 to 5 years (irrespective of hours of use). Replace
battery with AMPTEK AT6-4.5 or an equivalent from another manufacturer.
Phone’s Battery
The EDI-54V VW Indicator uses a Smart Phone as a readout unit that has an internal sealed rechargeable
Li-ion maintenance free battery as a power source. A separate battery charger/adaptor unit for the smart
phone, operating from universal AC mains supply is supplied with each EDI-54V Indicator unit. This battery
charger operates from 90 to 260 V AC, 50 or 60 Hz which makes it suitable for operation from AC mains
available throughout the world.
On receiving the Readout unit for the first time discharge the battery fully and then recharge the
battery for 2 hours using the supplied mains powered battery charger.
If the smart phone is not going to be used for more than 30 days, fully charge the battery and switch OFF
the phone before storing the phone. Also fully charge the battery before use if the phone has not been
used for more than 30 days.

1 INTRODUCTION
The Vibrating Wire Indicator unit is a microprocessor based indicator for use with Encardio-rite’s range of
Vibrating Wire Transducers. It can display the measured frequency in terms of time period, frequency or
the value of the measured parameter directly in proper engineering units. It uses a smart phone with
Android OS as readout having large display with capacitive touch screen which makes it easy to read the
displayed VW sensor readings.
The EDI-54V indicator can store calibration coefficients of more than 10,000 vibrating wire transducers so
that the value of the measured parameter from these transducers can be shown directly in proper
engineering units. The user does not have to refer to look up tables or manually calculate the parameter
values.
For transducers with a built in interchangeable thermistor, it can also display the temperature of the
transducer directly in degree Centigrade or Fahrenheit.
The indicator has an internal non-volatile memory with sufficient capacity to store about 5,25,000 readings
while scanning from any of the programmed transducer. Each reading is stamped with the date and time
the measurement was taken.
EDI-54V is also has data logging feature and can be used as an automatic single channel Datalogger
also. Readings can be stored either manually by accepting reading from reading screen or can be stored
automatically by running scheduled scan.
The stored readings can be downloaded from Indicator’s memory into Readout unit (Android Phone) by
selecting download option. Logger records can be extracted in CSV file format.
Since readout unit is a mobile phone, most of the people are familiar with its operation. Working with
readout unit is very easy and user friendly. It is as easy as we play games on mobile phone.
An internal 6V rechargeable sealed maintenance free battery is used to provide power to the indicator. A
fully charged new battery provides nearly 100 hours of operation on a single charge. A separate universal
battery charger is provided with the EDI-54V indicator to charge the internal battery from any AC mains
supply.
The EDI-54V indicator is housed in a splash proof plastic moulded enclosure with weather proof connectors
for making connections to the vibrating wire transducer and the battery charger.
Power ON/OFF push button cum status indicator has multifunction. Different status like Battery charging
status, Bluetooth Modem status, Sensor scanning etc. can be easily recognized by viewing indicator’s
blinking speed or counts.

2 OPERATING PRINCIPLE
The application is designed in a very user friendly manner which can be operated very easily for
downloading of the data and analyzing the readings. Even users with little experience with Geotechnical
Instruments can connect, download data and change settings as and when required.
2.1 Vibrating wire transducers
The vibrating wire transducer basically consists of a stretched music wire, one end of which is fixed
to the transducer body and the other end is connected to a diaphragm (generally) which is acted on
by the physical force to be measured.
The natural frequency of vibration, also known as the resonant frequency, of this stretched wire is
proportional to the square root of the strain level in the wire provided other factors are held constant.
Mathematically we can also express this as:
ε = k (1/T2) micro strain

where ε is strain in the stretched wire in micro strains, T is the time period of vibration frequency and k is
a proportionality constant.
If the strain level in the wire is increased (say, by stretching) or decreased, its natural frequency will
also decrease or increase accordingly. The difference in the two strain levels will then be given by
δε = k[(1/T22) - (1/T12)] micro strain or we can also write this as
δε = k[(1/T2) 2 - (1/T1) 2] micro strain

where δε is the change in strain in wire, T1 is the time period of vibration frequency of the wire before and T2
the time period after the change.
So a vibrating wire transducer is basically a strain gage. However, we can design the transducer so
that the physical parameter to be measured acts in such a way that the strain in the wire is affected in a
known way. If the strain level in the wire changes linearly with the physical parameter we have
X = C x k[(1/T2) 2 - (1/T1) 2]
where, X is the value of the parameter in engineering units and C is again a proportionality constant. We
can now combine C and K together to form a new proportionality constant, say K, and write
X = K [(1/T2) 2 - (1/T1) 2] … [Eqn. 1]
The relationship between frequency (f) and time period (T) is f = 1/ T
so we can rewrite equation [1] as
X = K (f22 - f12) … [Eqn. 2]
where, f1 is reference frequency of vibration and f2 is frequency of vibration after the change in strain
in wire.
In the above two equations the term ‘K’ is called “Linear Gage Factor” and ‘f1’ is called “Reference
Frequency”.
The EDI-54V indicator measures the time period and calculates the frequency, frequency2 and the
parameter value directly in engineering units. To calculate the parameter value in engineering units the
“Gage Factor”, “Reference Reading” and the “Units of measurement” has to be entered in the indicator
memory for each transducer individually. “Reference Reading” has to be entered in terms of ‘digits’ that
is equivalent to the square of reference frequency divided by 1000 (1 digit = 1000 Hz2).
The “Gage Factor” and “Reference Reading” are referred to as the calibration coefficients for that particular
vibrating wire transducer throughout this manual.
Page | 2
2.2 Non-linearity correction using polynomial calculation
It was mentioned in section 3.1 above that the strain level in the stretched wire is proportional to the square
of the resonant frequency of the wire. It was also assumed that most vibrating wire transducers are so
designed that a change in value of the physical parameter being measured causes the strain level in the
wire to change linearly. However, this assumption is not true if a very high level of accuracy is
desired (i.e. at higher resolutions the relationship does become significantly non-linear).
If errors due to repeatability and hysteresis of any non-linear transducer is smaller than the desired
accuracy limits then polynomial calculation method can be used to calculate the parameter value to a
better accuracy than that possible using a linear approximation.
For example, if a piezometer has a non-linearity error of say 0.3% using a linear approximation it may
be possible to get an accuracy better than 0.1% using polynomial calculation provided errors due to its
repeatability and hysteresis is less than 0.05%.
A second order polynomial takes the form
Y = AX2 + BX + C [Eqn. 3]
where, in our case, X is the square of the measured transducer frequency and Y is the value of the measured
parameter in engineering units. A, B and C are three polynomial constants generally provided by the
transducer manufacturer. These constants are determined by the transducer manufacturer during
calibration of the transducer.
In EDI-54V the variable X is written in terms of the square of the measured frequency divided by 1000,
known as ‘digits’. That is
1 digit = 1000 Hz2
A fifth order polynomial takes the form
Y = A5 f5 + A4 f4 + A3 f3 + A2 f2 + A1 f + A0 [Eqn. 4]
where, f is the measured transducer frequency and Y is the value of the measured parameter in
engineering units. A5, A4, A3, A2, A1 and A0 are three polynomial constants generally provided by the
transducer manufacturer. These constants are determined by the transducer manufacturer during
calibration of the transducer.
2.3 Vibrating wire frequency measurement
The EDI-51V indicator basically measures the time period of the resonant frequency of the stretched wire
inside the Vibrating Wire Transducer. The stretched wire inside a vibrating wire transducer does not vibrate
on its own. It has to be plucked or excited to start the vibrations which then die down over a period of
time (generally within a few hundred milliseconds).
Vibrating wire transducers are supplied either with an internal or an external magnet coil assembly. This
magnet coil assembly is used for plucking (or excite) the wire and also to detect the vibration frequency
of the wire. This magnet coil is referred to as the sensor coil.
EDI-54V indicator first excites the wire with a square wave signal whose frequency varies from say 500 Hz
to 6000 Hz over a period of 0.1 seconds (Please check the Specifications section in this manual for correct
values). This causes the wire to start vibrating at its own natural vibration frequency also known as the
resonant frequency. The vibrating wire crosses the magnetic field of the magnet coil sensor which in turn
induces a very small AC voltage across the coil terminals. The amplitude of this voltage depends on the
amplitude of the vibrating wire and the frequency is same as the resonant frequency of the wire. As the
amplitude of the vibrating wire dies down so does the signal voltage across the coils. For this reason the
wire has to be excited by the indicator at periodic intervals which is generally in the range of 1 to 2
seconds.
Page | 3
The indicator amplifies the weak signal output from the sensor coil and converts it to a square wave. It
then counts the number of cycles ‘m’ of a precision clock signal with a time period ‘t’ over ‘n’ cycles of the
vibrating wire frequency.
The time period of a single cycle of the resonant frequency of the wire is given by
T = (m x t )/ n
The frequency, frequency2, frequency3, frequency4, frequency5 and engineering units values are
then computed by the internal microprocessor of the indicator from this value.
2.4 Thermistor temperature sensor

Many vibrating wire transducers are supplied with an internal thermistor for sensing the transducer
temperature. Transducer temperature is required either to correct errors due to temperature dependence
of the parameter values measured by the transducer or simply to sense the temperature of the
surroundings of the sensor and save the cost of an additional temperature sensor.
The resistance of a thermistor varies in a predictable manner with temperature. However, the variation of
the resistance with temperature is very non-linear. By measuring the resistance of the thermistor, the
value of the temperature can be found out either from standard lookup tables or using a polynomial
calculation.
Most manufacturers, including Encardio-rite, use an interchangeable thermistor type in their transducers
which has a value of 3000 ohms at 25°C. Once the indicator is calibrated for any one thermistor the
calibration is valid for all transducers.
The EDI-54V indicator measures the resistance of the thermistor by passing a known current through
the thermistor and measuring the voltage developed across the thermistor. It then calculates the
resistance and converts it to degrees Centigrade which is shown on display.

8 SENSOR COEFFICIENTS
VW sensor gives frequency output. This frequency is then processed to get the Parameter value. VW
Indicator uses following polynomial to get the parameter value
Parameter = A0 + A1 * f + A2 * f2 + A3 * f3 + A4 * f4 + A5 * f5
Where; f = frequency, A0, A1, …., A5 are polynomial coefficients
VW sensor manufacturer provides the value of calibration coefficients in their test certificates. Sensor
manufacturer may use different polynomial equation and coefficients in their certificates. Follow the
following procedure to apply the coefficient in above equation.
Case 1: When Coeff. are given for 4rth order polynomial and raw output in frequency
Use Coefficient A5 = 0
Parameter = A0 + A1 * f + A2 * f2 + A3 * f3 + A4 * f4 + 0 * f5
Case 2: When Coeff. are given for 3rd order polynomial and raw output in frequency
Use Coefficient A5 = 0 and A4 = 0

Parameter = A0 + A1 * f + A2 * f2 + A3 * f3 + 0 * f4 + 0 * f5
Case 3: When Coeff. are given for 2nd order polynomial and raw output in frequency
Use Coefficient A5 = 0 , A4 = 0 and A3 = 0

Parameter = A0 + A1 * f + A2 * f2 + 0 * f3 + 0 * f4 + 0 * f5
Case 4: When Coeff. are given for linear equation and raw output in frequency
Use Coefficient A5 = 0 , A4 = 0 , A3 = 0 and A2 = 0

Parameter = A0 + A1 * f + 0 * f2 + 0 * f3 + 0 * f4 + 0 * f5
Case 5: When Coeff. are given for 2nd order polynomial and raw output in Digits
Many manufacturer use Digits instead of frequency as variable and polynomial coefficients as A, B and C
We know; Digits = frequency2 / 1000
So, use Coefficient A5 = 0 , A3 = 0 and A1 = 0
Parameter = A0 + 0 * f + A2 * f2 + 0 * f3 + A4 * f4 + 0 * f5
Where; A0 = C
A2 = B / 1,000
A4 = A / 1,000,000
Case 6: When Coeff. are given for linear equation and raw output in Digits
Many manufacturer use Digits instead of frequency as variable and polynomial coefficients as Gage Factor
(G) and offset (Offset)
We know; Digits = frequency2 / 1000
So, use Coefficient A5 = 0 , A4 = 0, A3 = 0 and A1 = 0

Parameter = A0 + 0 * f + A2 * f2 + 0 * f3 + 0 * f4 + 0 * f5
Where; A0 = Offset
A2 = G / 1,000

Fig 12-2: Data File Storage Path
Page | 20
14 DATA FILE FORMAT
The Sensor data files used for transferring Vibrating Wire Indicator data to other software have the following
formats. All data is in standard ASCII text format (7 bit). Variables are separated with commas (,). Text
strings are always enclosed within double quotes (" "). Numeric values are recorded as it is. Numeric values
may or may not have a leading plus (+) sign but a minus (-) sign is always explicitly included. The contents
of the data file are printed in Courier mono space font below.
This format is suitable for direct import in Microsoft Excel (All versions) or other commercially available
spread sheet programs for formatted printing and graphical plotting.
"Site ID","Sensor ID","Date/Time","Frequency(Hz)","Parameter","Unit","Temperature(degC)"

"Encardio rite","Store-1","2019/04/18 13:34:26",2592.653,2592.653076,"Hz",32.18
………………………………….
………………………………….
This file format will be utilized for transferring data to Encardio-rite web based data monitoring software
(WDMS). This file only transfers the logged Sensor data points. Each header line or record shall appear
on an individual line and shall be terminated with a <CR> <LF> character.
In the temperature field you will notice that the temperature appears as -99 (i.e. -99°C) even if the
associated transducer does not have an internal thermistor and no valid temperature reading is possible.
This is so because the temperature field is a numeric value field and must have a numeric value. Otherwise
the software in which you want to import the comma delimited ASCII data file will not be able to import it
properly. The value of -99 (°C) unambiguously signals an error condition because in practice you can never
get this temperature (the EDI-51V indicator cannot measure temperatures below -20°C). After importing
this data file in any other software you can always set it to ignore the value of - 99 as an error (i.e. no
thermistor) condition.

2.1 Vibrating wire transducers

Mathematically we can also express this as:

ε = k (1/T2) micro strain

δε = k[(1/T22) - (1/T12)] micro strain or we can also write this as

δε = k[(1/T2) 2 - (1/T1) 2] micro strain

X = K [(1/T2) 2 - (1/T1) 2] … [Eqn. 1]

The relationship between frequency (f) and time period (T) is f = 1/ T

so we can rewrite equation [1] as

X = K (f22 - f12) … [Eqn. 2]

2.2 Non-linearity correction using polynomial calculation

A second order polynomial takes the form

A fifth order polynomial takes the form
