6.1 Tools required
Tools required to install the various
mounting configurations are conditional
based on the type of mounting and location
Set of SAE wrenches
Phillips head screwdriver
Small flat-head screwdriver
Voltmeter
6.2 Unpacking
Carefully open package received from
factory and remove protective wrapping from Smart
RTU units and accessories. Inspect all hardware
for damage. Report any damage to shipping
carrier immediately.
Ensure you have received the correct sensors and
mounting accessories for your application. Cross-
check hardware received versus packing slip and
purchase order.
Record unit serial numbers for future reference.
6.2.1 Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Handling
Procedure
The Smart RTU contains sensitive electronic
components that may be damaged by static
electricity present in work environments. The
following precautions are recommended to reduce
the risk of damage due to electrostatic discharge:
Only wipe exterior of unit with a damp cloth
Use of a grounding wrist strap when removing
inner enclosure cover is recommended
6.3 Preliminary operational check
After unpacking and before field installation,
perform the following operational check on the unit:
1. Ensure the fuse for the battery is disconnected.
This keeps the unit powered down during the
installation process.
2. Place Smart RTU in vertical position with a
clear line of sight to and close to (< 3.048 m
(<10 ft.)) the receiver. If only using the VB-
103-TAM or local display accessories, simply
place Smart RTU in a vertical position.
3. Insert sensor wire(s) into the proper terminals.
4. Ensure battery is connected to battery terminal
wires, and then connect the battery fuse to
power up the unit. Install the VB-103-TAM to
the Smart RTU (if applicable).
5. Ensure the receiver is receiving data from the
unit. If applicable, let the VB-103-TAM log data
for a few minutes and confirm appropriate light
operation of the light and data display units as
applicable.
6. If applicable, disconnect VB-103-TAM and use
IPS Dock to confirm accurate data has been
logged (refer to IPS Dock user instructions for
how to do this).
7. Disconnect fuse for the battery to power down
the unit. Disconnect and remove battery.
8. Disconnect sensor wire(s) from terminals.
In case of issues with powering up the unit, refer to
section 9 Trouble-Shooting Guide.
6.4 Installation Preparation
Prior to mounting the Smart RTU in the field, two
penetrations will need to be drilled in the enclosure
to accommodate connections for power and sensor
wiring. It is recommended that the penetrations be
drilled in the bottom of the enclosure to minimize
moisture and/or dust entry to the enclosure. Two
penetrations are needed to be able to route the
power and sensor wiring through separate
conduits.
The size of each penetration is user-dependent,
they should be large enough to accommodate all
the cables to be run through each penetration.
Penetrations should be made in accordance with
the local electrical wiring code (such as NEC/CEC).
While penetrating the enclosure and installing the
fittings, take care not to damage the internal wiring
and boards of the Smart RTU.
