Green RTU G5 Radio Repeater Module
This guide relates to the installation and setup of the Green RTU G5 Radio Repeater Module used in Point to Multi Point (PtMP) control systems such as others that make use of serial communications or the Persistent Point to Point systems (PPtP). This guide applies to Green RTU G5 Radio Repeater Modules that support 433, 868 and 915MHz license free ISM wireless bands used in various regions around the globe.
CAUTION NOTE!!! Before commencing with the installation, please read the following.
- Do not locate this equipment near high voltage power lines. Take special precautions to avoid any contact with high voltage power lines when installing this equipment.
- Avoid locating this equipment close to a roof structure.
- Avoid locating this equipment near dense foliage and vegetation.
Installing the Transmitters Antenna and the Antenna Cable
NOTE Antennae structures and designs may differ based on the frequency band being used.
It is best practice to mount the Radio Repeater Module and the system Antenna on a pole in free air space. The pole should be of a rigid construction with an outside diameter of between 30 and 50mm. The equipment should be located on the pole as high as is practically possible above ground level. Different antennae can be used depending on the topography of the terrain where the system is located. For example it would be possible to make use of a stubby antenna in small scale system that only requires line of sight (LOS) coverage of a few hundred meters from the Radio Repeater Module. This document will focus on making use of an Omni directional dipole antennae which is the most common antennae used in point to multi point or repeater applications.
-
Remove the antenna and the antenna’s “U” bolt/s or mounting clamp from the packaging.
-
Install the antenna at the top of the mounting pole with the cable and or cable connection facing downwards as shown in the images below.
-
Fit the washers provided with each U Bolt / Bolt and tighten the nuts accordingly without damaging the mounting pole.
-
Referring to image above, connect the 1M RG58 antenna cable to the Antenna and loop the cable once (to allow for contraction and expansion) and fix the antenna cable to the post using a cable tie. Leave the other end of the cable loose for now.
Installing the Radio Repeater Module
-
Remove the module from its packaging then remove the modules lid. The lids fasteners are spring loaded and need to be pushed and turned 90° anticlockwise simultaneously to release them.
-
Install the repeater modules stainless steel mounting plate using four M4 x 8mm pan head galvanized or stainless steel machine screws and four M4 nuts. Fit the mounting plate to the transmitter module using the four mounting holes provided in the corners of the box. See the images below.
-
Install the radio repeater module at the top of the mounting pole, approximately 0.5m below the antenna with the cable glands facing downwards. Pass the two U Bolts around the mounting pole and through the radio modules mounting bracket. Fit the washers and nuts and tighten the nuts. See the images below.
-
Extract the Cable Glands to be found inside the module and remove the wrapping. Install each Cable Glands into the holes provided in the base of the module as seen in the image below.
-
Feed the antenna cable through the lower cable gland and fasten the SMA connector to the radio board as shown in the images below. Push the protection boot down through the cable gland and tighten the glands compression fitting around the boot to create a water tight connection.
-
Disassemble the right hand upper cable gland by removing the compression nut, the split rubber insert and the rubber seal. Select a suitable two core cable which will act as a power cable to the unit (preferably no smaller than 0.75mm²) and pass the one end of the cable through the cable glands compression nut, the rubber seal and the cable gland. Fit the split rubber insert around the cable and insert this into the cable gland.
-
Wiring the Power Source – The Radio Repeater module requires a 12VDC (Min. 0.10A) power source where the POSITIVE wire is connected to the +12V terminal and the NEGATIVE wire is connected to the GND terminal as per the image below.
Setup the Radio Repeater Modules System ID
All settings on the Radio Repeater Module are carried out by adjusting the dip
(Dipswitch bank #1 and #2) switch setting within the module. Note that power
must be off while making any dip switch setting changes.
Dip Switch SW1 is used to set the System ID. This System ID must match
the System ID being used by the serial transmitter module in the same control
system. The System ID can be set in the range from 0 to 255 using binary. The
dip switch numbers conform to the following binary numbers:
- SW1.1 = 128
- SW1.2 = 64
- SW1.3 = 32
- SW1.4 = 16
- SW1.5 = 8
- SW1.6 = 4
- SW1.7 = 2
- SW1.8 = 1
E.g. In order to set a System ID of 119, switches 1.2 (64), 1.3 (32), 1.4 (16), 1.6 (4), 1.7 (2) and 1.8 (1) must be on and the others off. This setting is thus 64 + 32 + 16 + 4 + 2 + 1 = 119
Systems with duplicated System ID’s should not be located within a 50km radius of each other. It is advisable to log the GPS coordinates of each system installed for future record keeping.
A Radio Repeater can only support up to 128 outputs therefore if you are using a Serial Transmitter with more than 128 outputs you will need to decide which system the repeater will be allocated too. If the Serial Transmitters ID is set as 119 and it makes use of more than 129 outputs the Radio Repeater can be set as 119 to repeat for outputs 1 to 128 or ID 120 to repeat for outputs 129 to 256.
Dip Switch SW2 is used to set the Radio Channel to be used.
- Switches 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4 must all be set in the off position.
- Switch 2.5, 2.6, 2.7 and 2.8 are used to set the Radio Channel the system will make use of and these must be exactly the same as the main Serial Transmitter Module or the PPtP Module.
This module is now ready for testing and field operation.
General Notes
- Do not drop either of the modules as this could lead to permanent damage to the module enclosures or sensitive electronic components.
- Keep the components in the original packaging until they are on site and ready to be installed. This provides optimum protection to the equipment during the transport process.
- Avoid exposing the equipment to high vibration and or shock as this can lead to permanent damage to the equipment.
- Do not attempt to modify the equipment or the electronics as this will deem the warranty void and may lead to permanent damage of the equipment.
