Configuration 

(continued)

 

Step Three 

  

 

USB

®

 FOB INTERFACE

 

EchoPod

®

 communicates with WebCal

®

* through a USB

®

 interface called a Fob (LI99-2001). Before plugging 

your Fob into your computer’s USB

®

 port, be sure that you have installed WebCal

®

 (see 

www.flowline.com/webcal-software/

) on your computer.

 

Connect the red, green, white and black wires from EchoPod

®

 into the correct terminals on the Fob. Tighten 

the screws on the terminals.  Plug your Fob into the USB

®

 port of your computer.  

Wiring to Fob (LI99-2001) 

 

LI99-2001 USB

®

 Fob 

 

 

Wiring is identical for all EchoPod

®

 Series – Use only the Red, Black, Green and White wires. 

  The maximum cable distance between the computer and EchoPod

®

 is 15’. This only applies for configuring 

the EchoPod

®

  Once EchoPod

®

 is configured and prior to installation, isolate the white and green wires from active power 

to prevent a short from the configuration circuit. 

 

Note:

 When using the Fob, do not add VDC or VAC power. The Fob, when connected to the computer, will 

provide the required power to the EchoPod

®

.  

 

* For complete information on the WebCal

®

 software, please refer to the WebCal

®

 manual located at 

www.flowline.com/webcal-software/. 

 
 

 

Note:

 Only use the 

LI99-2001

 USB

®

 

Fob (white).  The 

LI99-1001

 USB

®

 Fob 

(black) 

will not work

 with the 

EchoPod

®

 series.
