2.2.2 Location of the Power Injector Module (EPI01)
The Power Injector Module (EPI01) should ideally be located in the computer room or
network cabinet close to the router. Identify which drop cable runs to the Hydro-Control’s
location, and using a short patch cable insert the Power Injector into that cable, connecting
the port labelled IN to the router output and the port labelled OUT to the drop cable.
Connect a 240V or 110V mains supply to the Power Injector.
Note: The Power Injector Module can supply sufficient power for a Hydro-Control
VI and a sensor attached to it.

3 Connecting with Hydro-Control VI
To communicate with a Hydro-Control VI unit, start a terminal emulation program such as
HyperTerminal and set the connection properties as shown, substituting the correct IP Address.
Note specifically that the Port number should be set to 10001.
The same “ * “ commands can be used as would normally be used over
a serial link, and the responses will provide the same information. Refer
to the Hydro-Control VI Users Guide for more details of the commands
