3. Installation
The Wireless F/T system consist of several components: Wireless F/T unit, transducer, external power adapter, USB
cable, and software CD. The Wireless F/T unit must be set up and configured before installing the transducer so that
forces can be monitored during installation.
The Wireless F/T has a removable belt clip that can be used for mobile application. There is also a fixed mounting
option that uses four threaded inserts on the rear of the housing. To set up the Wireless F/T system, perform the
following steps:
1. Unpack the system components from the container.
2. Using a flat head screw driver, turn the quarter turn screw and open the battery door (Note: 90 degrees
clockwise to open and 90 degrees counterclockwise to close). Insert the battery, close and secure the battery
door. (Note: the battery will only fit in one way with the label on the battery facing the front of the Wireless F/T
Unit as shown in
Figure 2.2
or
Figure 2.3
). If the unit is to be powered by an external power adapter refer to
Section 3.3—External Power Adapter Installation
.
3.
Attach the antenna to the Wireless F/T Unit.
4. Ensure each Transducer and the corresponding Wireless F/T connector are labeled with the same serial number,
refer to
Figure 2.2
or
Figure 2.3
. Connect the transducer cable to the connector on the Wireless F/T unit. (Note:
The cable connector has a notch that ensures the proper orientation to the connector on the Wireless F/T unit.
The connector may have to be rotated until the notch lines up with the connector on the wireless unit. The
connector will drop into place when they are lined up). Tighten the connector finger tight.
5.
Connect the USB cable to the Wireless F/T unit and the external power adapter provided. Plug the power
adapter into the wall.
6. Wait for the battery charge Status indicator to transition from flashing to solid green indicating the battery is
fully charged.
This will take approximately XXX minutes with a factory-new battery.
7. Disconnect the USB cable from the power supply and plug into USB port on the computer to be used to
configure the Wireless F/T unit. Refer to
Figure 3.1
.
Note:
The computer connected to the USB port does not
provide sufficient source to keep the battery charged.
