OmniMetrix TrueGuard-Pro Kohler APM603 Installation Manual

1. Unpack the monitor and antenna. The data/power cable will be
attached to the monitor. This cable includes wires to power the
monitor as well as wires for alarm inputs, relay outputs and
analog inputs. Take a moment to inspect all components to verify
there is no shipping damage.
2. Place the antenna vertically on the roof of the generator and route
the antenna cable into the area of the generator control. The
antenna used for transmitting must be installed to provide a
separation distance of at least 20 cm from all persons and must
not transmit simultaneously with any other antenna transmitters.
BE SURE to provide a drip loop lower than the monitor to keep
water from running down the antenna cable into the monitor
connection.
3. Attach the monitor via its magnetic feet, on top of the engine
controller or other appropriate location. Horizontal surfaces are
best, but the unit may be mounted vertically or even upside down
if necessary. Note: If mounted vertically, install the monitor with the
cables down to prevent water from entering the enclosure.
4. Route the data/power cable through the cable entry on the bottom
of the generator control.
5. Red wire connection to Battery +; Black wire connection to Battery -
6. The monitor can connect to the APM603 via an optional basic relay
kit that could be used with a hardwired connection, or through a 2-
wire (RS485) Modbus connection. The Modbus connection offers
greater diagnostic capabilities with the OmniMetrix system.
7. To utilize the Modbus capabilities of the APM603, connect the
OMNI white (Data+) and green (Data-) wires to the Customer
Connection Terminal Strip as shown in the diagram on Page 2.
The OMNI White wire lands on Terminal 20 and the Green wire
lands on Terminal 19.
8. If a Kohler Annunciator is used, it lands on Terminals 22 and 23.
The APM603 supports both the OMNI and RSA simultaneously!
9. Attach the antenna cable to the front of the monitor and tighten
thumb tight.
10. Allow 15 minutes for the monitor to log into the network and then
call OmniMetrix at 770-209-0012 to confirm installation. Access
to machine data is through the OmniView
