Input clamps, battery switch, configuration connector as well as antenna connector are placed on the module’s
printed circuit board, so that it is necessary to open the casing to access these elements.
Modules with additional silicon filling
(IP68 degree of protection) are delivered with battery switched ”on”
and with both cables connected before silicon filling.
It is recommended do not open the casing during
operation until it is really necessary, and if so, do it very carefully
. Configuration of the modules should
be performed by USB-IRDA optical converter as described in section
”
Setting of parameters by using of optical
”
IRDA” converter”
In the figure
left there is displayed the detail of WB169-SI2 module printed circuit board with configuration
connector marked by violet colour, battery switch marked by red colour, input clamps marked by green colour and
antenna connector marked by blue colour. Appearance of the module PCB could slightly vary in dependence on
the module modification.
Figure 19: Detail of WB169-SI2 module PCB
In the central part of the figure
there is a picture of USB-IRDA optical converter with holding on magnet
(”MAGNETIC”), that can be used for module wireless configuration. In the right part of the figure
there is a
picture of module with attached optical converter.
The case of WB169-SI2 module consists of two parts:
•
module base with the printed circuit board attached. It is the where the cable bushings are placed;
•
box cap that covers the printed circuit board, with mounts for attaching of the module to the wall or other
construction element
When mounting the device follow these instructions:
•
attach the module to a suitable firm object (wall, pipe) by two screws or by a clamping tape. There are
mounts by the box sides for the attachment. The recommended position of the mounted module is in the way
that the base is down, cable bushings are facing to the floor;
•
unscrew the screws on the sides of the module base (right beside the cable bushings), loosen the cap of the
module and slide the base out of the cap;
•
pull the cables with the outputs from the consumption meters or sensors through the cable bushing (**) and
connect the individual conductors to the input clamps of the module. The scheme of deployment and polarity
of individual clamps is glued inside on the cap of the box. Make sure that the meters are connected to the
relevant inputs according to the project materials or write down the diagram of individual connections;
•
connect the local antenna (stick or rod type) or an antenna cable from a remote antenna into the antenna
connector (coaxial connector on the printed circuit board beside the input clamps). Pull the antenna or the
antenna cable through the cable bushings that is just right opposite to the antenna connector;
•
switch-on battery by switching of both of the micro-switches (
”
jumpers”) placed on the PCB beside the
configuration connector into the
”
ON“ position. Some modifications of the module could be equipped with a
pair of simple shortening pins, that should be short-circuited by shortening connector;
•
perform an elementary module diagnostics and alternatively go through the module configuration (setting
of parameters) with using of configuration cable as described in chapter
”
Module configuration”. In case
the module has been fully pre-configured in the preparatory phase of installation, at least check and set-up
input/output values to ensure that the information sent in the radio-messages will be correct;
