Configuring and Linking the Smart Node Channels
Configuring the Smart Node Channels
If the Smart Node was ordered as a complete RMU system from Elecsys, the Smart Node channels
should be configured to the end users application.
If the Smart Node was not configured before it left the factory, the default channel configuration is
Channel 1 = Voltage (+/- 100V), Channel 2 = Current (+/- 100mV), and Channel 3 = Pipe to Soil (+/-
10V). To change the configuration of the Smart Node channels follow steps 1
– 6 below:
1. Hold down the Setup Button until the CH 1 LED turns on. The LED will turn on after
approximately 3 seconds. When the LED turns on, release the button.
2. All the LEDs will begin to cycle on and off indicating the Smart node is waiting for the
channel selection. Push the appropriate channel button for the channel you wish to
configure. To exit without changing any of the channels configurations, press and hold the
Setup Button for approximately 5 seconds.
3. Once a channel has been selected, the corresponding channel LED will begin to flash every
3 seconds. The number of flashes that occurs indicates the current channel configuration.
1 flash = Voltage Channel (+/-100V)
2 flashes = Current Channel (+/- 100mV)
3 flashes = Potential Channel (+/- 10V)
