Chapter 1: Overview
This document describes the changes that may be required because of the
differences between Legacy and MyDro series RTUs. We strongly encourage
you to review this entire document and the standard installation manual before
beginning the upgrade, as these notes are a supplement to those instructions.
Technical support is available to assist you.
The MyDro RTU is designed to be an easy upgrade from an M110 or M800
series RTU regardless of enclosure. The upgrade kit should include all the parts
needed to mount the components into the same form factor enclosure as was
specified on the order. Few, if any, new holes will be required to complete the
upgrade. Wire terminals are in the same general area as the previous boards
so most wires will simply need to be reterminated, and the MyDro features
removable terminals for convenience.
The MyDro may require slightly different wiring considerations than the M110
and M800 series RTUs due to enhanced electronics. The most notable are
configurable auxiliary output voltages, isolated analog inputs, and the lack of
direct support of the Wet Well Module (WWM). MyDro directly supports the pump
run load sensors associated with the WWM, but not the module itself.
The Safe Module Plus is an available option that improves upon the
Wet Well module and provides 4 pulse accumulators typical associated
with rain tipping buckets and pulse based flow meters.
Future product enhancements will focus on the MyDro platform, including those
related to communications and Modbus. The over-the-air firmware upgrade
capability makes it easy for us to deliver these enhancements to you as they
become available.
