CNI4 Quick Start Guide 2
Introduction
The CNI4 has two components: The Pulse
Accumulator and the Cloud Link 4G
Modem.
This Quick Start Guide provides
instructions for using the MasterLink
Software (R510.1 or higher) to configure
the Pulse Accumulator and the Cloud Link
4G Modem as two independent sites, using
the USB-to-serial cable (40-6147-kit).
One end of the cable has a USB connector
and the other end includes a male and
female connector. The male (black)
connector connects to the Cloud Link 4G
Modem and the female (green) connector
connects to the Pulse Accumulator.
Steps to configure the CNI4:
Step 1: Open the door of the CNI4 and install the SIM Card.
Step 2: Power-up the CNI4 - battery or external power supply.
Step 3: Connect the external pulse inputs (for wall mounted only).
Step 4: Disconnect the serial cable interfacing the Pulse Accumulator and the Cloud Link
Step 5: Configure the Pulse Accumulator.
Step 6: Configure the Cloud Link 4G Modem.
Step 7: Restore the original serial cable connection.
Step 8: Close and lock the door.
Step 1: Open the door of the CNI4 and install the SIM Card
1. Lift the SIM card cover on the Cloud Link.
2. Slide the white SIM card holder to the right,
then lift the left edge.
3. Insert a SIM card into the slot provided and
close the card holder.

To setup external power supply
1. Remove the housing of the cable gland and route the power cable through it.
2. Connect the power cable to the 3-pin power connector on the Pulse Accumulator
board.
3. Connect the other end of the power cable to an external power source (5V to
16V, 2A peak current).
Step 3: Connect the external pulse inputs (for wall mount only)
It is possible to connect a maximum of
two external pulse inputs at TB2
(Terminal Block 2) of the Pulse
Accumulator.
A 3.5 volts DC wetting voltage is
provided by each Pulse Accumulator
input channel. If the pulse channel is to
be wired to an active device, i.e.
transistor-type output, then be sure to
observe polarity.
To connect the external pulse inputs
1. Remove the housing on the cable gland and route the pulse input(s) cable through it.
2. Unplug the male 4-pin terminal block connector.
3. Connect the external input pulse wires of the cable into appropriate slot on the 4-
pin terminal block connector.
