Introduction
Introduction
The GridAdvisor™ Series II smart sensor helps utilities
improve the efficiency in which they operate their distribution
systems by improving outage management, capacitor bank
maintenance and providing critical system information not
previously available. This simple yet sophisticated product
can annunciate directional fault targeting, detect capacitor
bank fuse failure and provide a DNP3 scannable line
monitoring device at nearly any location.
The ProView
®
NXG configuration software allows a single
stocked item to be used for many different applications. The
smart sensors meet or exceed IEEE Std 495™-2007 standard
“Guide for Testing Faulted Circuit Indicators” making them
suitable for underground applications.
The GridAdvisor Series II smart sensor saves both operation
and maintenance dollars by reducing drive time, and
maximizes energy dollars by keeping capacitors online,
operating at peak efficiency. Being hotstick installable with
no additional hardware or back office software needed, this is
the easiest way to gain SCADA visibility across the power
distribution network.

Read this manual first
Read and understand the contents of this manual and follow
all locally approved procedures and safety practices before
installing or operating this equipment.
Additional information
These instructions cannot cover all details or variations in the
equipment, procedures, or process described, nor to provide
directions for meeting every possible contingency during
installation, operation, or maintenance. For additional
information, contact your Eaton representative.
Acceptance and initial inspection
Receiving inspection
Each sensor is in good condition when accepted by the
carrier for shipment. Upon receipt, inspect the shipping
container for signs of damage. Unpack the sensor and
inspect it thoroughly for damage incurred during shipment. If
damage is discovered, file a claim with the carrier
immediately.
Handling
Be careful during handling and storage of the sensor to
minimize the possibility of damage. If the sensor is to be
stored for any length of time prior to installation, provide a
clean, dry storage area.

Installation procedures
SIM cards
A SIM card is a small removable card consisting of an
embedded SIM chip. The SIM card is inserted into the sensor
to provide the required authentication for the sensor to
connect to the cellular network associated with the SIM card.
If the sensor will be communicating over a CDMA network,
no SIM card is required. Verizon
®
is an example of a cellular
provider using CDMA technology.
GSM cellular SIM card
Smart sensors that communicate over a GSM cellular
network will require the proper Subscriber Identity Module
(SIM) card.
Rogers™ is one example of a cellular provider using a GSM
network technology.
4 G LTE SIM card
All the smart sensors that communicate over 4G LTE cellular
networks will require the proper SIM card.
The following networks use a SIM card to connect with the
4G LTE cellular network:
•
AT&T
®
•
Verizon
•
Telus
•
Bell Canada
Installing the SIM card
Inside the battery compartment is a small slot on the inside
wall for inserting the SIM card (Figure 1 on page 5). This slot
is commonly referred to as a “push-push” receiver. Putting
slight finger pressure on the card will cause it to snap into
place. If inserted properly you will hear a click when the SIM
card is properly seated. Pushing the engaged SIM card again
will cause it to slightly depress with a click and then eject for
removal. Putting SIM card into receiver with wrong
orientation and applying strong pressure may cause damage
to sensor and/or SIM Card, please review instructions for
installation.
1.
Remove sensor barrel cap to access battery
compartment. Take care not to lose the gasket located on
inside of cover.
2.
Locate SIM Card Slot on side wall inside sensor shown in
Figure 1 on page 5.
3.
With metal strips of SIM card facing outside of barrel and
the chamfered edge of the SIM card facing downward,
push SIM card into place. SIM card should remain
depressed and click into place if properly installed.
4.
Re-tighten cap from 17-22 in-lbs of torque to prevent any
water ingress.
