DIN Rail Mounting You can mount the TD9300 Data Terminal on a standard 35mm DIN rail using the optional DIN rail adaptor (mounting kit T04-00088-0000). Ten holes are provided on the bottom of the chassis for mounting this adaptor using M3 Taptite screws – see"System Connections" on page 22 and "Flat Mounting" on page 28. These holes enable the TD9300 Data Terminal to be mounted flat against the DIN rail. You can mount up to two TD9300s this way across a 19-inch rack or cabinet. Note: Make sure the mounting rail is strong enough to bear the weight of the TD9300 Data Terminal without bending. It must also be rigid enough to prevent excessive vibration of the TD9300 Data Terminal. If access to the rear of the TD9300 Data Terminal is restricted when installed, it might be difficult to release the latch to remove the TD9300 later. Before mounting the TD9300, feed a cable tie through the hole in the end of the latch and fasten it into a loop. This might help pull the latch open later if you need to. Mounting 1. Mount the DIN rail adaptor to the bottom of the TD9300 Data Terminal as shown, using four M3 Taptite screws. 2. Use a Torx T10 driver and tighten to a maximum torque of 15lbf·in (1.7N·m). 3. Fit the top of the adaptor to the top of the DIN rail (b). 4. Push the bottom of the adaptor in and down onto the rail until the latch clicks into position (c). Pulling the latch down might make this easier. TD9300 Data Terminal – Installation and Configuration Manual – 26...
Removal 1. Insert a flat-bladed screwdriver into the latch (d). 2. Push the screwdriver down to hold the latch open. 3. Pull the bottom of the adaptor away from the rail (e). 4. Lift the TD9300 Data Terminal off the rail (f). Recommended mounting method TD9300 Data Terminal – Installation and Configuration Manual – 27...

We recommend tuning this value on the bench when initially integrating with an RTU. The maximum time the data terminal should wait for a response from the gateway before closing the current call. The default value is 15 seconds. Receive timeout This timeout is only used if something goes wrong with the communication between the SCADA Gateway and the data terminal. In most cases the default value is acceptable. This is how long to wait before power cycling the radio if no internal com- Inactivity timeout munication has been received from the radio in the data terminal. Status NACK retry This is the delay (in milliseconds) between sending status messages if a interval status message fails to send (request is rejected by the radio). When enabled, the TD9300 can generate a data call directly to the SCADA Gateway to send unsolicited traffic. Outgoing data call enable When disabled, if the TD9300 has unsolicited traffic to send, it sends a call- back status call to the SCADA Gateway and waits for an incoming data call.

Confirm Operation This section describes how to check whether the TD9300 is working properly in the GridLink system. 1. Make sure the TD9300 is connected to the correct supply voltage. See "DC Connector" on page 22. To troubleshoot the supply voltage, see"Troubleshooting" on page 66. 2. Make sure the TD9300 is connected to an outstation device (RTU/IED). 3. Check whether the LEDs show normal operation. See "LEDs" on page 19. If they do not, see "Troubleshooting" on page 66. With TD9300 firmware version 1.10 or later, the Web UI Diagnostics menu provides test func- tions for installation and commissioning.

Interfaces > DMR Network > Data Delay. Note: If you're using r adio module firmware version 2.19 or later, the Data Call Test will always fail. T he Data Call Test function will be removed in a later version of the TD9300 application. SCADA Gateway Communications Test If Outgoing data call enabled is selected in the configuration, the TD9300 places a data call to the SCADA Gateway and checks communication over a traffic channel. If this option is not selected, the TD9300 sends a call-back status message to the SCADA Gateway and waits for an incoming data call from the SCADA Gateway. Here are some reasons why this test might fail: The TD9300 might be disabled in the SCADA Gateway An incorrect DIP address might be configured in the TD9300 There might be problems communicating on one or more traffic channels at the current site TD9300 Data Terminal – Installation and Configuration Manual – 62...
Note: Load transients (switching or removing the load) can damage the transmitter! Do not disconnect the antenna from the TD9300 while it is trans- mitting. 3. Ask the dispatcher to poll the outstation device from the SCADA software. If a valid reply is returned to the SCADA software, the TD9300 operation and connectivity to the outstation device is good and operating as expected. 4. If a valid reply is not returned, check if the TD9300 terminal is visible from the SCADA Gate- way: Do a remote status read from the SCADA Gateway. a. To ask the dispatcher to read the terminal’s remote status, select Divisions > Ter- minals > Select the radio address from the list > Select the Remote Status tab > Select Read.

Poor communication with a DMR traffic channel, such as a low RF signal or interference on the channel, might have the same failure symptom. If the SCADA Gateway Remote Status read is successful but the SCADA software fails to poll the out- station device, it suggests a problem with one or more of these devices or settings: The outstation device connected to the TD9300 A cabling issue between the TD9300 and the outstation device A configuration issue with the TD9300 A configuration issue with the outstation device A configuration issue with the SCADA system software TD9300 Data Terminal – Installation and Configuration Manual – 65...
Steps "Measure the input voltage to the isolated TD9300: " below and "Measure the input voltage to the external DC/DC converter:" below only apply to the isolated v1 (T04-00002-xAxx ). For all other models, go to "Measure the input voltage to the TD9300:" below. 1. Measure the input voltage to the isolated TD9300: If it is between 23.5 and 24.5 V DC, check the LEDs. See "Check the LEDs" on the next page. If it is not, go to the next step. 2. Measure the input voltage to the external DC/DC converter: If it is between 9 and 36V DC, replace the external DC/DC converter. If it is not, fault-find the external power supply, then make sure it's working. See "Confirm Operation" on page 61 Check the isolated v1 TD9300 is programmed for low transmit power operation when the external DC-DC converter is used or the TD9300 might behave unex- pectedly. 3. Measure the input voltage to the TD9300: If it is between 9 and 36 V DC, check the LEDs. If it is not, fault-find the external power supply, then make sure it's working. Signal ports isolated only.

If the LED is flashing in 2-second intervals (to show there is no communication with the RF board), check the RF board is programmed correctly and try again. If this does not work, replace the TD9300. If the LED is flashing in 1-second intervals (to show the TD9300 is not registered on the network ), "Check the Antenna and Signal Path" below. Check the Antenna and Signal Path 1. Connect the antenna to an antenna analyzer. 2. Repair or replace the antenna, feed cable, or BNC connector (if necessary). 3. Connect a portable radio to the antenna to check the signal strength: Make sure the RSSI display is set to display values. If the RF level is lower than -100dBm, check and clear the signal path (if possible). If the level is higher than -100dBm, see "Confirm Operation" on page 61. There can be a delay of up to two minutes between the steady and flashing states (1-second intervals) when the radio switches from registered to trying to register.
