Wiring the EchoPod ®
After mounting the EchoPod ® , make the necessary electrical connections. A wiring
di agram with specific recommendations for the sensor’s configuration can be printed
from the WebCal program. A typical wiring diagram is shown on the next page.
Red and Black leads are for connection to a 24 VDC power supply. The red and
black wires can be extended more than 1000 feet using 22 gauge or larger wire,
however do not extend the green and white wires.
White and Green leads are reserved for use with WebCal and should not be
connected during usage in the application. These wires should not be connected to
WebCal while power is supplied from any source other than the LI99 FOB.
Never allow the white or green wires to touch any power supply.
The Blue wire is for Voltage Output.
The Brown wire is for Frequency Output. This output requires a pull-up resister to
positive voltage sized to supply less than 15mA current.
Configuring the EchoPod ®
Configuration of your EchoPod ® should be performed prior to mounting, since it
requires connection to your PC.
Step 1: Install the WebCal Software
Download WebCal from www.flowline.com onto a PC with the following minimum
specifications:
Windows ® 2000/XP/Vista/7, 10 MB storage space, 256 MB RAM, 1 USB 2.0 port
Double-click the WebCal icon to install before proceeding to Step 2. You must have
an active Internet connection to install WebCal, as it will automatically verify driver
updates.
Step 2: Connect the USB Fob
NOTE : Do not connect the Fob until after you’ve installed WebCal.
The EchoPod ® communicates to its configuration software through the USB Fob. Prior
to connecting the Fob, ensure that all external power is disconnected from the
EchoPod
® as power is provided through the PC’s USB 2.0 port. Do not use a cable
connecting the EchoPod ® to the Fob any longer than 15 feet.
1) Connect the red, green, white, and black wires from the EchoPod ® to the
corresponding colored terminals on the Fob (as shown in the diagram).
2) Tighten the terminal
screws with a slotted
screwdriver.
3) Plug the Fob into your
PC’s USB port.
