Data Retention Module Quick Start Guide
The Data Retention Module (DRM) is an accessory that expands the functionality of the Data Acquisition Modules (DAqM) by adding temporary data storage andcontrolled power supplies for eddy covariance system sensors. This document provides basic operating information about the Data Retention Module.
Online resourcesGo to www.licor.com/env/support for online resources, including:
Software The Blueprint Utility software is to configure the data acquisition system.
InstructionManual
The instruction manual is called Using the Data Acquisition System. It provides comprehensive assembly, configuration, and main-tenance instructions for the data acquisition system and the Blueprint Utility.

DATA IN from DAqM: Connects to the first module. Additional modulesare connected as a "daisy chain."
V4 Power Out to SmartFlux System: Connects to the SmartFlux 2 or 3system.
DATA OUTto SmartFlux System: Connects to the SmartFlux 2 or 3 sys-tem with an RS-485 wire bundle.
Ground lug: Connect to an earth ground for lightning protection.
Power input: Power in to the Data Retention Module. The +9 - 30 VDCand upper GND terminal are the primary power supply. The +12V BATand lower GND terminal are for a 12 VDC backup battery.
V1 to V3 Power Out: Power to Data Acquisition Modules. V1 should beused for the first Data Acquisition Module.
Getting StartedFollow these steps if you have a DAqM with a DRM.
Step 1: Install the Blueprint UtilityGo to www.licor.com/env/support/Biomet-System/software.html. Choose the software for your operating system, install it, and open the app.
Step 2: Load a biomet programClick Biomet Library, select the program that corresponds with your sensor package. Enter the calibration information for your sensors. The program will tell youwhich multipliers are needed. For custom programs, you can either modify an existing program or create one from scratch. Click Help for in-app assistance.
Step 3: Install wires and communication cables

Bundles of wire leads connect the DAqM and theDRM to the SmartFlux 2 or 3 System. A standard Eth-ernet cable connects the SmartFlux System to yournetwork or computer. A detailed wiring diagram isprovided in the Data Acquisition System instructionmanual.
Step 4: Power on the systemEach part needs to be powered on (+9 to 30 VDC).
Step 5: Connect and send the programClick Connect in the Blueprint Utility. Select theSmartFlux System from the list. It is identified by the serial number. Click Configure Port and select the port that the DAqM is connected to. Click OK to connect.Click Push to load the program. Additional steps must be taken to configure SDI-12 sensors and to connect the DAqM to your eddy covariance system. Refer tothe data acquisition system instruction manual for details.
