Site Layout Test (at the Office)

Perform a site survey to determine possible mounting
locations for the Host and Power Box. The 50-feet-
long cable between them must be routed and secured
in a non-Hazardous location, and must not be routed
through a Hazardous location.
The Host device must be mounted at a location within
300 feet of all its assigned Clients, and is mounted with
the Universal Mounting kit supplied. Use the drawing to
determine the best configuration for your application.
Verify that AC power (85-130VAC) is available at the
desired mounting location of the box. The line cord may
be cut, and the cord grip removed and replaced with a
conduit hub, if you wish to pipe conduit directly to the
box. Cut the cord, leaving four inches of wire connect-
ed to the Power Supply, and splice them into the wires
coming in from the conduit. Connect with wire nuts and
tape securely.
Mounting feet are attached to the bottom of the box.
Adjust them to the desired position and tighten the
screws well. The box can be screwed securely to ply-
wood or concrete with the proper anchors.
The Power Box has a lighted switch which has the
same function as the switch in the Host housing. It pro-
vides an update to the website. This light is the same as
the green light in the Host. Alternatively, the Host unit
features magnetic start operation. Hold the magnet at-
tached to the Host where y ou find the magnet symbol
on the lid f or one second, then remove it. The GREEN
LED should start blinking.
Do not open the Host as there is no battery or ser-
viceable parts enclosed.
The AC Powered Host is ideally suited to support the
needs of a Tank Farm. It can communicate with up to
32 tanks and update the website accordingly by push-
ing the button on the Power Box.
It is also capable of supporting two sensors remote-
ly wired to it. The connections are industry standard
4-20 mA capable inputs. Two cord grips are available on
the front of the AC Host box for wiring the sensors. You
may connect any 4-20 sensor to these inputs.

Installation

We recommend assigning each Client to the Host
before installation in the tank. Once this is done and
you have tested the communications, you may then
mount each Client in the tank.
