3. INSTALLATION AND SETUP
This section provides detailed instructions for the proper installation and setup of the
TransPortal Interface Monitor (TIM). Included are steps to perform the following:
1. Gather the tools and devices needed for installation.
2. Unpack and inspect the TIM.
3. Mount the TIM.
4. Connect the field wiring.
5. Connect the power source and power up the unit for the first time.
You are encouraged to read this section in its entirety before attempting installation of
the TIM.
3.1. Needed for Installation
There are several important tools and devices necessary to properly install the TIM:
1. Drill and appropriate drill bits for creating a 3/8-inch hole for mounting the TIM.
2. A small screwdriver with a 1/8-inch (or smaller) blade for securing wiring in the
TIM terminal strips.
3. A digital volt meter to verify power connections and monitored input connections.
4. A Windows-based computer to configure the unit using the embedded web
server. The computer should use either an Internet Explorer (version 6 or later)
or Mozilla Firefox (version 2 or later) browser. Other browsers may be used, but
may not work as described in this document.
While the basic operating information and status of inputs can be accessed over
the WAN, it is strongly recommended that a browser-equipped computer be used
to configure the unit in the easiest and most comprehensive manner.
3.2. Unpacking and Inspecting the Unit
The basic TIM package typically contains the following items in addition to the unit:
1. CAT5 Crossover Network Cable (for connecting a browser-equipped Windows
computer to the unit's embedded server configuration applications)
2. TIM Service Manual (this document)
Great care is taken in packaging each item to prevent damage in shipment; however,
damage can sometimes occur and it is not advisable to install or attempt to operate
damaged equipment or equipment with suspected damage. Carefully inspect each
package at time of receipt for signs of physical damage. Report any suspected damage
claims to the shipper and to Customer Support.
