Splash Bootloader Domestic Installation

Technische Alternative Bootloader – Domestic Installation
Introduction
This document is intended to be a brief guide to the steps you need to take to set up your Bootloader. It assumes the
Controller (UVR1611 / UVR61) is already installed and connected to the solar sensors.

Installation Guidelines

We have found that the most reliable long-term results are achieved when the Streambox, Bootloader and their respective
power supplies are installed well away from daily operational areas. The problem is that the loss of the Splash Monitoring
service is not immediately obvious, so it can be many days or weeks before someone realises that their system is not
being updated. We are in the process of developing a mechanism to detect the loss of communication which optionally
sends an email alert to one or more nominated recipients, but it is always prudent to minimise the risk of disruption by
following these guidelines:
If possible install the equipment and power supplies well away from daily operational areas such as someone's
•
desk or work bench.
Try and secure the equipment by attaching it to a wall or shelf with screws, Velcro or double sided tape. This
•
should prevent it from slipping and becoming disconnected.
Always secure the STREAMbox power cord to the STREAMbox using the P clip supplied. The P clip should be
•
located on the back of the STREAMbox using one of the existing jack posts, as illustrated:
Always ensure the LAN cables you use are in sound condition with their retaining clips intact, and make sure they
•
are securely fitted to the equipment by giving them a gentle tug.
Always ensure that all cables are secured using cable ties to protect them from accidental snagging.
•
Never stretch cables to the point where any movement could cause them to become dislodged.
•
Always install the STREAMbox with the ridged heat sink outwards and the side vents unobstructed. It doesn't
•
matter what orientation is used; horizontally on its bottom (the flat black surface); or vertically on its side.
The equipment and power supplies will be labelled 'DO NOT SWITCH OFF', but you should inform people with
•
access to the installation area that this equipment should not be turned off; for example cleaning and
maintenance personnel.
