INSTALLATION
UNPACKING
1. Thoroughly examine the box to verify it was not damaged in shipping. If you find
damage, immediately file a claim with the shipper, as the manufacturer cannot be
held responsible for items damaged in transportation and accepted by the customer.
2. Carefully unpack the RTU from the shipping container. Verify that the box contains
every item listed on the shipping order.
3. Open the front door by loosening the upper and lower right hand corner screws or
quick release latches of the enclosure and swinging the door out.
4. Examine the label on the inside top of the enclosure. It indicates the model and
serial number of the unit.
MOUNTING THE RTU
The RTU mounts directly on a wall or, optionally, on a pipe. Mounting feet are provided
for wall mounting, and plates with U-bolts are provided for pole mounting. Two-inch
rigid pipe or conduit is required for pole mounting. It is recommended the pipe be
placed 18 to 24 inches in the ground in a six-inch wide sackrete/concrete-filled hole.
The length of the 2-inch mounting pipe or conduit will vary according to the site, but
typical installations place the RTU at about eye level for ease of operation.
*CAUTION*
This unit contains certain electronic components that are sensitive to electrostatic discharge
(ESD); therefore, proper precautions should be taken during maintenance operations. It is
recommended that the operator first touch the MS connector (RS-232C port) on the side of the
unit to dissipate any accumulated static charge. Additional precautions may be taken in order to
minimize the possibility of ESD, including the use of a grounding wrist strap (i.e., 3M part
number 2214).
If these precautions are not taken, and the unit is subjected to severe ESD, it may revert to its
default state. However, the unit will not exhibit any loss of data or degradation of performance.
