Page 11: Using The A73X Rtu
Using the A73x RTU 2 Using the A73x RTU The A73x series of remote telemetry units (RTUs) is part of the A730 series. For testing purposes, you should have an A730SD/A730MD and/or an A840 Telemetry Gateway installed before you install your A73x RTU. For information about installing the A730SD or A730MD, refer to the addVANTAGE A730 User Guide Version 3.4x. -
Page 12: Installing The Rtu
All A73x devices accept the standard Adcon sensors (A731 excluded), which are different from the A730MD series in that they provide IP65 class protection. All Adcon sensors are delivered by default with this new type of connector. An adapter cable is optionally available to connect current sensors to the RJ-12 ports of the A730MD stations. -

Using the A73x RTU 2.3 Special notes for the A733GSM/GPRS RTU The A733GSM/GPRS RTU is based on a GSM module which employs a GSM cellular network to transmit the telemetry data. Before you install such a device, you must make sure a sufficient signal for proper operation of the RTU on the site where you plan to use it exists;... - Page 14 You need a serial adapter cable to enter the PIN; you can get the cable from Adcon Telemetry or your reseller.

RTU will be polled for data by the Adcon Telemetry Gateway within the GPRSTMOUT time. If you need your RTU to detect within an hour that the connection to the Adcon Telemetry Gateway is broken, set the GPRSTMOUT to 3600 seconds. But make sure, that the RTU is polled for data at least once within that time span. - Page 18 RTU. 3. Assemble your pole set. 4. Put an Adcon plastic cap into the top of the pole and secure it with a pie clamp to protect the top of the pole from damage. 5. Using a hammer, drive the 80 cm aluminum rod into the ground.

Page 19: More About The Led Tool
Using the A73x RTU 2.5 More about the LED tool The LED tool allows you to rapidly check the status of an A73x RTU. After you insert the LED tool into the POWER connector, the unit waits up to two seconds and then sends a broadcast frame (does not apply to the A733GSM/GPRS RTU). -

Page 21: Changing The Battery
Make sure, though, that the problem is really due to the battery and not to a defective or dirty solar panel. Adcon highly recommends that you check the solar panels’ state and clean them often. The rain droplets can splash thin layers of soil on the panels, thus reducing their power output. - Page 22 A733 Battery Pack 4. Remove the battery pack and replace it with a new one (obtainable from Adcon). 5. Replace the plastic cover and screw the four screws back in. 6. Carefully remove the rubber gasket in the lid and replace it with the one supplied with the battery.

Page 25: Performing Advanced Functions
With the appropriate knowledge, you can configure the A73x devices in the field by using a HyperTerminal window. To configure the RTU, you need a special serial cable adapter (not supplied, but available from Adcon). Do not try to configure your A73x devices if you are not sure what to do—the unit might not communicate with the remote measuring station or function with the addVANTAGE software. -
Page 26: The Power Connector
Counter Ground Fig. 9: Pins on an I/O Connector (Top View) Using Adcon’s 7-pin Y-cable lets you attach more than one sensor to one connector. To avoid cabling conflicts, first verify in the addVANTAGE software that the sensor AUTION combination in the configuration you want is allowed. If you find no conflicts, you can physically attach the sensors to the A73x RTU. -
Page 27: Communicating With The Rtu
Note: To configure the A73x RTU, you must have a special adapter cable (available from Adcon) and plug it into the POWER connector. 1. Start a HyperTerminal session. 2. Select the appropriate serial port and click OK. -
Page 28: Serial Communication Protocol
Serial communication protocol 3.3 Serial communication protocol This protocol is based on a master sending commands and a node answering; the whole communication is conducted in plain ASCII, as strings. When exchanging numbers, they are represented in decimal format. All commands are terminated with a CR/LF combination. -
