Installation procedures
In cases where a torque wrench is not available; tighten
the cap until the gasket inside the cap makes contact
with the battery, turn another 1/2 turn to ensure proper
tightening.

Forcing over the air service provision (OTASP)
(Verizon 3G only)
If the cellular provider being utilized with GridAdvisor Series II
smart sensor does not require use of a SIM card as is case
with the Verizon network, the user must initiate an OTASP
(over the air service provision).
This specific action will cause the sensor to actively
interrogate the network for a proper IP address from which
the device was activated. Failure to complete this step will
result in communication failures generally visualized on the
sensor as simultaneous red blinking LEDs.
Note:
A Binary Output control point can be set by the SCADA
system to trigger an OTASP sequence that is delayed
by 5 minutes to allow time for the new radio
provisioning to be setup by Verizon.
1.
Ensure that device is powered up and has completed
initialization as indicated by double green blinking LEDs.
2.
Reed switch device by placing a strong earth metal
magnet next to the device as indicated by the symbol
“R” found on the rear side corner of the upper housing
opposite of LEDs.
3.
Reed switch will initiate Bluetooth
®
discovery mode, but
in order for OTASP to complete the sensor must not be
paired with. After a two minute timeout, the sensor will
connect to network and receive proper IP address and
preferred roaming list.
4.
Alternatively, if the device is Bluetooth
®
paired and
connected to ProView NXG
software, the sensor will
complete OTASP upon disconnect of ProView NXG
software.
5.
OTASP may take up to five (5) minutes, with included
retries, so do not the remove battery from the sensor
within this time frame.
6.
OTASP results can be confirmed in the sensor’s
communication logs with the ProView NXG software.
Note:
If the OTASP process fails and the sensor blinks red
LEDs continuously, check the communication log for
diagnostics. OTASP can fail if sensor is on roaming
network or has poor signal strength.
Installing battery
1.
Remove sensor barrel cap to access battery
compartment. Take care not to lose the gasket located on
inside of cover.
2.
Locate battery inside sensor and battery connector on
side wall inside sensor shown in Figure 1.
3.
Battery and sensor connectors are keyed to prevent
misalignment. Press connectors together until they snap
into locking position.
4.
Device will begin initialization and attempt cellular
activation.
Leaving sensor activated without proper charging current
source will lead to equipment (battery) damage.
5.
Re-tighten cap from 17-22 in-lbs of torque to prevent any
water ingress.
In cases where a torque wrench is not available; tighten
the cap until the gasket inside the cap makes contact
with the battery, turn another 1/2 turn to ensure proper
tightening.
Shelf mode
As an alternative to disconnecting the battery for prolonged
time without a proper charging source, the sensor can be
commanded into “Shelf Mode”. This is accomplished via an
active connection with ProView NXG using the
Operate
Control Operation dialog,
or by sending a DNP3 binary
output control command via the SCADA connection to binary
output index 08.
To return the sensor to normal operation from Shelf Mode,
perform a reed switch with a magnetic reset tool. The device
will then initialize in the same manner as when installing the
battery. There is no way to remotely force this action, so
ensure the device initializes before leaving the site.
