Installation Guide
1. Unpack the monitor, antenna and the data / power cable. Take a
moment to inspect all components to verify there is no shipping
damage.
2. Place the antenna vertically on the roof of the generator and route
the antenna cable into the area of the generator control. The
antenna used for transmitting must be installed to provide a
separation distance of at least 20 cm from all persons and must not
transmit simultaneously with any other antenna transmitters. BE
SURE to provide a
drip loop
lower than the monitor to keep water
from running down the antenna cable into the monitor connection.
3. Attach the monitor via its magnetic feet, on top of the engine
controller or other appropriate location. Horizontal surfaces are
best, but the unit may be mounted vertically or even upside down if
necessary.
Note: If mounted vertically, install the monitor with the
cables down to prevent water from entering the enclosure.
4. Route the data/power cable through the cable entry on the bottom of
the generator control.
5. The monitor connects to the ComAp interface module by either a
provided, DB9 (RS-232) cable, as standard, or RS-485 connection,
which is available through the optional 25-Pin cable #100120 (Green &
White wires). Either cable provided comes with Red (B) and
Black (Battery -) wires for 12vdc or 24vdc power input connection to
the monitor.
a. For RS-485 cable runs greater than 50 feet, install the provided
120 Ohm resistor
across the RS485+ and RS485- terminals at
the device farthest from the OmniMetrix monitor.
6. Attach the antenna cable to the front of the monitor and tighten thumb
tight.
7. Turn on the monitor and confirm that the LEDs light up and blink. If not,
check for power on the terminal strip. If, after 5 minutes, the only
LED lit is the Power LED, check the antenna mount and cable
connection.
8. Allow 15 minutes for the monitor to log into the network and then call
OmniMetrix at 770-209-0012 to confirm installation. Access to machine
data is through the OmniView
