STALKER 200-1424-00 PMG Flood Sensor

Stalker PMG Flood Sensor Installation Guide

PMG Flood Sensor Overview

• The PMG Flood Sensor consists of a tamper-proof metal enclosure that houses the fluid sensor. The sensor is designed to be able to be submerged in water with no damage.
• The device should be placed in a flood-prone area so that the detector level, as indicated by the QR code sticker on the device, is at the desired height of the high-water trigger point.
• When water levels are at or above the QR code on the label, the sensor will be triggered, and a signal will be sent to the PMG.
• The PMG can be programmed to display a message for the alert. The alert message is selectable by the user from pre-set options or can be customized by the user.
• Up to 3 flood sensors can be connected to a single PMG, allowing for progressive levels of alert escalation and de-escalation based on current water levels.

Key Technical information

• The PMG must have the “Text & Graphics” option enabled.
• The Flood Sensor requires that the PMG be configured with the 3 Input, +12V GPIO option.
• Connecting multiple Flood sensors to a PMG:
• With its built-in GPIO port, a PMG can only support a single Flood Sensor.
• A 3-port expander is available to allow for up to 3 Flood Sensors to be connected to a single PMG.

Pre-Installation

• Placement of the PMG and detector(s) should be chosen to provide enough warning to the intended recipient to allow for evasive action to be taken, i.e. PMG placed far enough from the high water detection point to allow for a car to stop and turn around.
• Extension cables are available for long runs from the detector to the PMG. A cable termination kit is also available to allow for custom cable lengths.
• Pre-made Flood Sensor cables are configured to use GPIO-1 port ONLY.
• If more than one Flood Sensor is to be used, or if it is desired to use other GPIO input ports, the PMG must have a 3-port expander. Note that the expander port lines are all configured as GPIO-1 but will be combined with GPIO-1 through GPIO-3 when the signal is returned to the PMG.

Single Flood Sensor Installation

• The cable from the flood detector plugs into the back of the PMG.
• Flood Sensor extension cables can be connected between the PMG and the Flood Sensor assembly.

PMG 3-Port I/O Expander installation

• The 3-port expander allows for connecting multiple Flood Sensors to a single PMG without the need for GPIO port-specific cables.
• The PMG 3-port expander must be directly connected to the PMG GPIO port. You cannot use a Flood Sensor extension cable to remotely place the 3-port expander.
• Installation of the PMG 3-port expander limits the PMG to GPIO Inputs only for GPIO ports 1, 2, and 3.
• Extension cable termination kits are available for connecting other sensors to the port expander but must use the GPIO-1 pin on the connector.

Sensor to PMG Distance

• Combined cable lengths up to 1025 ft. have been verified as the cable provides both signal and power for the flood sensor setup. This length should provide an adequate distance for drivers to read the message on the PMG and be able to stop at various speeds.

Cable

• Stock cables are available in 25 ft. and 100 ft lengths.
• Connections and cables are designed to be waterproof.
• Cables should be selected to minimize the number of cables and excess cable length based on installation location.
• It is recommended that the cable be run through a 3/4” or larger conduit (a minimum of 3/4” is required to accommodate the cable connector)
• Cable termination kits are available for customers to shorten stock cables, or create one of your own.
• For custom cables, Stalker Radar recommends 22 gauge wire, 4 conductors, suitable for outdoor water exposure and direct burial.
