2 Serial Transmitter Module Installation
This guide relates to the installation and setup of the Green RTU G5 Serial Transmitter Module used in Point to Multi Point (PTMP) control systems. This guide applies to Green RTU G5 Serial Transmitter Modules that support 433, 868 and 915MHz license free ISM wireless bands used in various regions around the globe.
NOTE Before commencing with the installation, please read the following.
- Do not locate this equipment near high voltage power lines. Take special precautions to avoid any contact with high voltage power lines when installing this equipment.
- Avoid locating this equipment close to a roof structure.
- Avoid locating this equipment near dense foliage and vegetation.
2.1 Installing the Transmitters Antenna and the Antenna Cable
NOTE Antennae structures and designs may differ based on the frequency band being used.
It is best practice to mount the Transmitter Module and the system Antenna on a pole in free air space. The pole should be of a rigid construction with an outside diameter of between 30 and 50mm. The equipment should be located on the pole as high as is practically possible above ground level. Different antennae can be used depending on the topography of the terrain where the system is located. For example it would be possible to make use of a stubby antenna in small scale system that only requires line of sight (LOS) coverage of a few hundred meters from the Transmitter Module. This document will focus on making use of an Omni directional dipole antennae which is the most common antennae used in point to multi point applications.
- Remove the antenna and the antenna’s “U” bolt/s or mounting clamp from the packaging.
- Install the antenna at the top of the mounting pole with the cable and or cable connection facing downwards as shown in the images below.
- Fit the washers provided with each U Bolt / Bolt and tighten the nuts accordingly without damaging the mounting pole.
- Referring to image above, connect the 1M RG58 antenna cable to the Antenna and loop the cable once (to allow for contraction and expansion) and fix the antenna cable to the post using a cable tie. Leave the other end of the cable loose for now.
2.2 Installing the Serial Transmitter Module
- Remove the module from its packaging then remove the modules lid. The lids fasteners are spring loaded and need to be pushed and turned 90° anticlockwise simultaneously to release them.
- Install the transmitter modules stainless steel mounting plate using four M4 x 8mm pan head galvanized or stainless steel machine screws and four M4 nuts. Fit the mounting plate to the transmitter module using the four mounting holes provided in the corners of the box. See the images below.
- Install the transmitter module at the top of the mounting pole, approximately 0.5m below the antenna with the cable glands facing downwards. Pass the two U Bolts around the mounting pole and through the transmitter modules mounting bracket. Fit the washers and nuts and tighten the nuts. See the images below.
- Extract the Cable Glands to be found inside the module and remove the wrapping. Install each Cable Glands into the holes provided in the base of the module as seen in the image below.
- Feed the antenna cable through the lower cable gland and fasten the SMA connector to the transmitter board as shown in the images below. Push the protection boot down through the cable gland and tighten the glands compression fitting around the boot to create a water tight connection.
- Disassemble the right hand upper cable gland by removing the compression nut, the split rubber insert and the rubber seal. Pass the one end of the Ethernet (LAN) cable through the cable glands compression nut, the rubber seal and the cable gland. Fit the split rubber insert around the Ethernet (LAN) cable and insert this into the cable gland.
- Plug the RJ45 connector on the end of the (one to one) Ethernet (LAN) cable into the socket on the transmitter modules board. Allow the Ethernet (LAN) cable to take a gradual bend then tighten the compression nut onto the cable gland to form a weatherproof seal. See the image below.
- Power to the Transmitter Module is supplied via the Ethernet (LAN) cable. Make sure the power is off to the Transmitter Module then carry out the following the dip switch settings
Dip Switch SW1 is used to set the System ID. This System ID must match the System ID being used by the radio receiver modules in the same control system. The System ID can be set in the range from 0 to 255 using binary. The dip switch numbers conform to the following binary numbers:
- SW1.1 = 128
- SW1.2 = 64
- SW1.3 = 32
- SW1.4 = 16
- SW1.5 = 8
- SW1.6 = 4
- SW1.7 = 2
- SW1.8 = 1
- E.g. In order to set a System ID of 119, switches 1.2 (64), 1.3 (32), 1.4 (16), 1.6 (4), 1.7 (2) and 1.8 (1) must be on and the others off. This setting is thus 64 + 32 + 16 + 4 + 2 + 1 = 119
- Systems with duplicated System ID’s should not be located within a 50km radius of each other. It is advisable to log the GPS coordinates of each system installed for future record keeping.
- If the number of outputs being used by this Transmitter Module exceeds 128 (as set using Dip Switch 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3) a second ID which is one value greater will automatically be set in the module for all outputs greater than 129. For example if the system ID is set as 119 on Dip Switch 1, the next system ID for output 129 and greater will be set to 120. Radio receivers that belong to this second system will need to be set to system ID 120 and valve outputs numbers would be set from 1 to 128. Output 1 in system with ID 120 is in fact output 129, output 2 would therefore be 130 and so on.
- Dip Switch SW2 is used to set the number of outputs to be controlled by the 915MHz Transmitter Module, the Serial Data Baud Rate and the Radio Channel to be used.
- Switches 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3 are used to set the Number of Outputs the Transmitter Module will service as set out in the table below:
Switch 2.4 is used to set the Serial Data Communications Baud Rate the Transmitter Module requires for communication with other control devices. Switch settings are set out in the table below:
Switch 2.5, 2.6, 2.7 and 2.8 are used to set the Radio Channel the system will make use of. Switch settings are set out in the table below:
NOTE When using the 915MHz transmitter module a total of 15 channels (0 to 14) are available. This is restricted to a maximum of 10 channels (0 to 9) when using 868 or 433MHz transmitter modules.
- This module is now ready for testing and field operation.
2.3 General Notes
- Do not drop either of the modules as this could lead to permanent damage to the module enclosures or sensitive electronic components.
- Keep the components in the original packaging until they are on site and ready to be installed. This provides optimum protection to the equipment during the transport process.
- Avoid exposing the equipment to high vibration and or shock as this can lead to permanent damage to the equipment.
- Do not attempt to modify the equipment or the electronics as this will deem the warranty void and may lead to permanent damage of the equipment.
