Before installing the H-3553 in the field, it is a good practice to test the system in the shop or lab. This will help
preparations for a successful field install.
Initial Testing
Follow these steps to power up the H-3553:
1. Apply +12v to the “Compressor 12VDC” terminal connections
2. Referring to Table 2-1, connect +12 VDC, GND, and SDI-12 data connections of the 7 wire Main I/O
sensor interface pigtail cable to a SDI-12 master device, such as a WaterLOG® XL series DCP.
3. Verify the connections Table 2-1, and then connect the Main I/O sensor interface pigtail cable to the
H-3553 via the 7 pin “Sensor Interface” military grade connector.
4. At power up, the H-3553 will take an initial atmospheric measurement (listen for a “click” while the
sensors are switched to atmosphere) and then if needed the compressor will turn on to initialize the tank
pressure.
