- See software IMI for commissioning the unit into operation. Each STAPS head unit assembly is powered by a long life Lithium battery (typical battery life of over 3 years). It can communicate directly to a receiver that is connected to the PC software via a LAN connection or via another intelligent head or repeater.
IM-P014-24 STAPS Wireless Steam Trap Monitoring System Installation and Operating Instructions for use with Windows XP operating systems To ensure that the STAPS system operates correctly adhere to Section 3.2 and you must follow the sequence of installation specified in Section 3.3 3.2 Before Installation:...
12. Using the software, assign a trap to the Head, refer to Section 5.6 - Assigning traps to Heads IM-P014-26 or IM-P014-24. 13. Repeat Steps 6 to 8 for other STAPS Heads until all traps to be monitored within signal range are completed.

4.2.3 Fitting the STAPS head to the STS17 or STS17.2 Separate the 'U' bolt from the top clamp. Slide the 'U' bolt around the Universal Flange on the STS17.2 casting and place the top clamp such that the STAPS sensor is upright and in contact with the top of the universal flange.
Page 16
'U' bolt is not suitable, the head can be secured using zip ties (not supplied). Fig. 20 Do not attach the head directly to the steam pipe or any other hot structure. Do not lag the STAPS head unit, including the clamp and stem. IM-P014-16 MI Issue 2...
Fig. 21 Important: Make sure that MAC ID is noted against a trap type and reference location. This data will be required for entry into the STAPS software - See Software copyright statement below. Information required: 1. Location reference / trap tag No.
Example: 1 off Battery spares kit (SAFT LS 33600 3.6 V battery) for a STAPS wireless steam trap monitoring system. 1 off Clamp for use with an STS17.2 pipeline trapping station.
