Chapter 1: Overview
Expansion modules increase the monitoring possibilities of the MyDro remote
terminal unit (RTU). Mission provides options for expanded input/output (I/O)
based on ADVANTECH modules. The new Safe Module Plus expansion module
brings useful features to sewer lift station monitoring, fresh water pump lock-
out applications, and rain sensing applications. Read more about this in the
specication sheet. Additional modules are available in Pulse Input, Digital Input,
Analog Input, and Analog Output.
The MyDro RTU will recognize the module once it is installed and will publish
the readings to the LCD screen and the web portal. Congurable options will be
presented on the LCD screen under the Cong. menu. The web portal is used
to create alarm notication rules for the new I/O including alarm delays, analog
threshold, and ow (pulse) thresholds. The MyDro 850 RTU is recommended
for use with Digital Input, Analog Input, and Analog Output Expansion Modules.
Either the MyDro 150 or 850 is appropriate for use with the Safe Module Plus.
The expansion modules provide signal conditioning, isolation, ranging, and
A/D and D/A conversion. Digital communication to the MyDro is based on a
unique device ID and cable (RS485 2-wire, plus power). The device ID has been
set by Mission at the factory as indicated on the label.
Multiple expansion modules can be daisy-chained together (wired in parallel). At this
time the MyDro supports one each of the Safe Module Plus, Digital Input, Analog
Input, and Analog Output Expansion Modules. It supports two Pulse Input Expansion
Modules. See Table 1 for more details.
Setup forms for all modules are available online. Use the camera of a smartphone
to email the form. Please complete and send the form to Technical Support as
quickly as possible so reports will be labeled appropriately and the notication
system will enunciate call-outs properly.

complement the way expanded digital inputs appear on the web portal
ADVANTECH documentation describes that input as DI 0. Mission does not
currently support all features and inputs of some expansion modules.

Chapter 2: Location
In most cases, the included 8-foot communications cable allows the expansion
module(s) to be mounted on the back panel of the control cabinet and the other
end connected to the nearby MyDro RTU.
The expansion module(s) can be mounted on a DIN rail or directly to a backplate
in the control cabinet. Signal cables should be run in conduit if the module is
mounted in the Mission NEMA 1 or NEMA 4 enclosures. No load carrying wires
should be run in the same conduit as signal wires.
The RS485 communications standard (differential balanced line over twisted pair)
supports distances up to 4,000 feet.
Chapter 3: Communications Cable
The RJ45 end of the included cable plugs into the RS485 port (left side) of
the MyDro. One twisted pair is for communications while the other powers the
expansion module(s). Do not connect or remove the RJ45 end into the MyDro
board until all wiring to the expansion module is complete. The four conductors
terminate on the expansion modules as follows (see Table 2):
Table 2:
RS485 Connection
Module Pin # Label Wire Color
10 GND Bk—Black
9 +Vs R—Red
8DATA - Gr—Green
7DATA + W—White

Wiring Best Practices:
• Do not run signal wires parallel to load wires. If they must cross, do so at a
right angle.
• Extend the RS485 cable, rather than the cables running to the instruments, if
the remote sensors are a distance away.
Chapter 4: Single Expansion Module Hookup
Avoid routing the communications cable parallel to other load carrying conductors.
Figures 1A and 1B demonstrate a single module network powered by the
communications cable. For an example of a multiple module hookup, see Appendix
C.
Warning: Wiring the expansion modules with the RJ45 communications
cable connected to the MyDro can potentially cause damage to the circuit
board.

Chapter 5: Pre-Installation
Note: Electronic keys are supplied with each RTU. They can be congured
at the web portal for a variety of functions (track site visits, acknowledge
alarms, service mode, cong. mode). For pre-installation, keys should have
service and cong mode privileges.
1. Conrm the MyDro rmware is appropriate (see Table 3). If an update
is required, contact Mission Technical Support to initiate an over-the-
air update.
2. If the RTU is active and enabled for alarm notications use the
electronic key to place the MyDro RTU into service mode so alarm
notications will be suppressed during the installation.
3. Disconnect AC power from control panel.
4. Verify that no power is present in the work area by using a volt meter.
5. Mount the module with the self-tapping screws provided.

Safe Module Plus Overview
The Safe Module Plus (SMP) is an exclusive device
that speeds and simplies the installation of a Mission
MyDro 150 or 850 RTU. It supports four pulse counting
channels that can be used with rain tipping buckets
or pulse-based ow meters. It provides an intrinsically
safe circuit to a oat so that the state of the oat can be
transmitted by the MyDro RTU for alarm notications
as well as to energize a built-in-relay that is typically
associated with a local buzzer or light for sewer lift
station applications, or service-pump lock-out for clear
well applications.
Note: For legacy (M110, M800) RTU upgrades
that utilize the Wet Well Module, see Appendix A.
NEC Rule 22-704
National Electric Code (NEC)
Rule 22-704 offers comprehensive
criteria for classication of
hazardous locations. Sewer lift
stations are generally considered
Class I, Division I environments
and require corresponding
intrinsically safe apparatus.
Methane (explosive) and
hydrogen sulde (corrosive) are
common vapors present in these
environments.
The oat circuit associated with
the SMP is certied as intrinsically
safe: Class I, Div I, II, III, Groups
D–G.

It is tested for a maximum for AC power supply (Um) of 120 VAC.
Control equipment must not use or generate more than 120 V rms
or dc with respect to earth.
Selected intrinsically safe equipment must be third party listed
as intrinsically safe for the application, and have intrinsically safe
entity parameters conforming with Table 1 (see next page).
SPECIAL CONDITIONS FOR SAFE USE
The device does not meet the 500V rms dielectric requirement
between the IS circuit and earth.
ASSOCIATEDAPPARATUS
In sewer lift station applications, the high level oat (located in the
sump) including the cable is in a hazardous location. This simple
apparatus as dened and installed in accordance with Article
504.2 and with Article 504.10(D) of the National Electrical Code
(ANSI/NFPA 70), or other local codes, must comply with the entity
parameters described in Table 1 (see next page).
Capacitance and inductance of the eld wiring from the
associated apparatus to the Safe Module Plus shall be calculated
and must be included in the system calculations as shown
in Table 1. Cable capacitance, Ccable, plus intrinsically safe
equipment (oat switch) capacitance, Ci must be less than the
marked capacitance. Likewise, cable inductance plus intrinsically
safe equipment (oat switch) inductance (Li) must be less than the
marked inductance.
Where the cable capacitance and inductance per foot are not
known, the following values shall be used: Ccable = 60 pF/ft. (200
pF/m), Lcable = 0.2 μH/ft (1.0 μH/m.) These calculated maximum
lengths do not allow for any switch capacitance or inductance.
(The cable length must be less than 800 feet not including
allowances for the switch.)
For installations in which both the Ci and Li of the intrinsically
safe apparatus exceeds 1% of the Ca (or Co) and La (or Lo)
parameters of the associated apparatus (excluding the cable),
then 50% of Ca (or Co) and La (or Lo) parameters are applicable
and shall not be exceeded. The reduced capacitance shall not be
greater than 1 μF for Groups C and/or D (IIB and/or IIA), and 600
nF for Groups A and B (IIC).
The values of Ca (or Co) and La (or Lo) determined by this
method shall not be exceeded by the sum of all of Ci plus cable
capacitances and the sum of all of the Li plus cable inductances in
the circuit respectively.
This associated apparatus has not been evaluated for use in
combination with another associated apparatus.

For Hazardous Environments
Most sewer lift stations are considered hazardous locations per the
National Electric Code (NEC Rule 22-704). The MyDro Safe Module
Plus allows the state of a high-level oat (located in the hazardous
location) to be shared with both the local control panel and the Mission
remote terminal unit (RTU) while complying with NEC requirements for
hazardous environments. The oat-sensing circuit is certied for Class I,
Division I (methane) environments typical of sewer lift stations.
Speeds Installation
The optional module connects to the MyDro 150 or 850 RTU with a
quick-connect communications cable. The cable powers the module and
includes the RS485 communications link between the two components.
The RS485 standard is capable of reliable communications up to 4,000
feet, allowing the module to be located closer to the sensed elements.
The enclosure is compatible with standard DIN rail. Terminals are front-
facing.
High Wet WellAlarms Even When AC Has Failed
High wet well events are reported even when there is no AC power to the
station because of the backup battery associated with MyDro unit.
Relay—Local Alarm
A built-in relay can drive a local alarm light and buzzer based on oat.
Relay—Lock-Out Functions
The relay can be used in specialty applications where safety lock-out
functions are desired. Aselectable debounce (time delay) can be set
for the included relay to avoid short cycling of equipment because of a
bouncing oat. For example, in clean water applications the relay can be
included in the control circuit of a service pump and used to lock-out the
pump before the supply runs dry, as indicated by a normally open (N/O)
low-level oat. The Mission notication system can be set to dispatch a
notication, such as “service pump lock-out activated because low supply
level.”
Four Pulse Channels
The module supports four pulse channels. They are typically used with
rain tipping buckets and pulse-based ow meters. The inputs support
dry, open collector, and wetted circuits. Non-volatile memory maintains
the pulse count for extended power outages or if communication cable is
disconnected. Pulse counts accumulate even if the MyDro RTU is ofine
as long as it has power.
Supervision
The MyDro will report RS485 communication failure as well as
intrinsically safe circuit failure if those conditions occur.

Sewer Lift Station Applications
Figure 2:
Sewer lift station application
Float and Panel Wiring for Sewer Lift Station Applications
The two-wire connection to the oat is not polarity sensitive. Locate (or intercept
if a retrot application) the high-level oat wires and terminate them on the SMP
lower oat terminals. Locate or re-terminate the other two wires (that complete
the circuit to the local alarm) between relay common and relay N/O.
The SMP module (located in a non-hazardous location) senses the state of
oat (in the hazardous area) in an intrinsically safe manner. The oat tip is
communicated to the Mission alarm notication system and the local relay is
energized to illuminate the local alarm light.
