CAUTION: Metal relay casing on the MicroMax GPS360 will get hot. Allow 5 - 10 minutes after interruption
stops before handling the unit.
CAUTION: Do not connect the MicroMax GPS360 to primary mains power.
WARNING: Before beginning any wiring to the MicroMax GPS360, ensure that power has been turned off at
the rectifier.
GPS360 Installation & Configuration
Quick Reference Guide
CAUTION: The MicroMax GPS360 is set to use Normally Closed relays by default. If you plan to use a
Normally Open relay, check the Options > Ouput Parameters menu to ensure the interrupter is configured to
the desired relay setting (refer to Page 4).
NOTES FOR GPS360
1On power up, the unit will stay on as long as it takes to acquire a GPS signal. Once it acquires a 3D fix, it takes approximately two minutes
to synchronize to GPS time and automatically enter the main menu or a previously loaded interruption program.
aThe unit will not go to sleep while in this mode, which could potentially drain the battery. The unit must get a GPS lock to enable
power saving features. You can bypass the GPS screen by pressing PREV.
2The unit will turn off the LCD screen (power save mode) 60 seconds after the last key press. If an interruption program was not selected
to run, the unit will enter deep sleep mode 5 minutes after the last key press.
3While an interruption program is running, the unit will enter power save mode but continue to interrupt. You can press a key at any time
to check the status of the interruption program.
aWhen using start/stop or daily interruption modes, the unit will go into deep sleep during non-interruption hours. Press any key to
“wake up” the unit (see 1a).
bIf you wake up a unit from power save mode during interruption, it takes two minutes for the GPS to resynchronize. The unit will
continue interrupting during resynchronization.
4To put the unit in deep sleep mode, press and hold the PREV key until the screen flashes (approximately 10 seconds) then release the key.

CAUTION:Do not connect the MicroMax GPS360 to primary mains power.
NOTE: See Step 3on page 3 for instructions on connecting the GPS360 to rectifier line power and/or if using an
external relay.
Ensure that power is turned off to the rectifier.
NOTE: If installing the GPS360 on a bond, the relay wires must be connected in series with the two structure wires,
one from each of the pipelines.

Tap Change Bar
1If line power is available, use an external power source, such as one of the following:
aThe rectifier — with power turned on to the rectifier, use a voltmeter to locate a power source across any
two available AC taps. The GPS360 require 8 - 42 V AC.
bA 120 V AC convenience outlet with the 12 V DC wall adapter.
cA USB cable connected to a computer.
2If no line power is available, use the internal battery on the unit.
The following procedures are general steps for a typical installation. For specific instructions, see the MicroMax Interrupters
User Guide (part no. 122204-000) available from your website account under the Help menu.
