3 Installation
3.3. Applying Power to the LD1500
Once the SeaHawk sensing cable is connected to the unit, power can be applied. The LD1500
operates on 24VDC or 24VAC power. A power supply is not included with the LD1500. RLE
recommends its 24VDC power supply (part #PSWA-DC-24), which can be purchased
separately. For more information on RLE power supplies, visit www.rletech.com , or contact
RLE.
Note RLE recommends that an isolated power supply be used.
Before applying power to the unit, ensure all cable and communication connections are
complete. The LD1500 begins booting once power is applied. Wait approximately one minute.
No alarm should be present.
On the web page interface, the cable length is displayed. If this reading varies by more than
±5% of the actual length of cable installed, verify the installation. The LD1500 should not
require any calibration. If any calibration is required, verify that the cable current is 0 (zero)
before calibrating or false and inaccurate readings will occur.
3.4. Communication
The LD1500 will not communicate over a user's network the first time it is connected to the
network. The manufacturer programs the LD1500 with a default IP address: 10.0.0.188,
subnet: 255.255.255.0 and gateway (Def Route): 10.0.0.1. These settings must be changed to
IP addresses that correspond with the user's network before the LD1500 can communicate
over the network.
3.4.1 Set the LD1500's IP Address
♦ Via the Web browser
♦ Via the EIA-232 interface
3.4.1.1 Set the LD1500's IP Address Using a Web Browser
1 Plug the crossover network cable that shipped with the LD1500 unit into the laptop or
workstation that will be used to configure the LD1500. This cable is not intended to be
connected to a network hub.
2 Write down the computer's IP address and Subnet Mask. Then change the IP address and
Subnet Mask of the computer from its existing address to one that will allow it to
communicate with the LD1500, such as 10.0.0.190. It may be beneficial to set the IP
address to one that is one number different from the Falcon's IP address. Consult the
computer's manual or your IT Department before attempting this.
3 Connect the other end of the network cable to the Ethernet port on the LD1500. Access the
LD1500 through a Web browser by typing the IP address into the location bar. Enter the
LD1500 user name and password when prompted.
Note The default user name is “
ld1500
” (use all lowercase, as user name is case sensitive).
There is no default password — leave the password field empty.
4 Select the Configuration Menu link, then select the Network Settings link. Change the IP
address, Subnet Mask, and Def Route to ones provided by the network administrator. Press
the Submit Changes button. The LD1500 will save the new IP address and reboot. You
