No agent is authorized to assume for Mercury Instruments any liability except as set forth above. 4.2 Intrinsic Safety for Hazardous Locations The Mercury Instruments CNI4 is certified by CSA (CUS) for Class I, Div-2, Group D hazardous locations when installed in accordance with CSA (CUS) control drawing 40-6144 in this manual.
A valid user name and password are required for accessing the Cloud Link 4G Modem. The device supports different privilege levels like Read / Write, Read Only. The CNI4 supports whitelisting of cellular communications. You can configure up to 10 host IP addresses for the device to allow specific hosts in case of call outs.
5.1 Wall Mounting Where a flat wall surface is available, such as on the side of a building or shed, stainless steel “hangers” can be utilized. Illustrated below is the rear view of a CNI4, along with associated mounting dimensions (in inches).
Remove all four screws which attach the base plate to the bracket housing. Replace and tighten the four screws after you have repositioned the UMB housing. Figure 5-2: CNI4 with Universal Mounting Bracket (UMB) The bottom side of the UMB meter index is seen below, along with the ‘wriggler’ mechanism.

Link 4G modem. For DIV2 installations only, the enclosure must have a rigid metal conduit hub for wiring entry. For CNI4 devices without a modem, the serial port connection must be made by routing the serial cable through the conduit.
7 Getting Started 7.1 Introduction The CNI4 comprises of two components: The Pulse Accumulator and the Cloud Link 4G Modem. You can use the MasterLink Software (R510.1 or higher) to configure the Pulse Accumulator and the Cloud Link 4G Modem as two independent sites, using the USB-to-serial cable (40-6147-kit).
5. Close the cover. 7.3 Connecting power supply The CNI4 can be powered using battery or external power. To connect the battery packs to the Cloud Link 4G Modem 1. Install the Cloud Link battery packs with the positive terminal on top.

The CNI4 can receive Call-outs by configuring the Cloud Link 4G Modem to function in MiWireless mode, and in this scenario the Cloud Link 4G Modem must be connected to external power source.
9 Appendix 9.4 Item Code Types There are two basic types of item codes used in the CNI4, Direct-read and Configuration. The Direct-read items are mainly used to store information or to accumulate readings. Except during the initial installation, these types of items are normally just read periodically to obtain the accumulated information. ...
