Installation Guide
1. Unpack the monitor, antenna and the data/power cable. The 25-
pin connector plugs onto the front of the OmniMetrix
®
monitor.
This cable includes wires to power the monitor as well as wires
for alarm inputs, relay outputs and analog inputs. 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 into the generator control enclosure.
5. The monitor wires to the Basler terminal board using the wiring
definitions as shown in Table 1 (next page)..
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
