OmniMetrix TrueGuard 2 User manual

TrueGuard 2™Generac E Panel
Installation Guide
TrueGuard 2™is for use on 12v systems only.
1. Unpack the monitor and antenna. The data/power cable will be
attached to your monitor. This cable includes wires to power the
monitor as well as wires for alarm inputs, relay outputs and
analog inputs. Take a moment to inspect all components to
verify there is no shipping damage.
2. Locate the area behind the door where two panels come
together in the housing. Peel the weather stripping down and
route the antenna between the weather stripping and the
housing. Place the wire for the antenna in the slot between the
two panels and replace the weather stripping. Attach the
antenna vertically to the top of the enclosure. The antenna used
for transmitting must be installed to provide a separation
distance of at least 20 cm from all persons and must not transmit
simultaneously with any other antenna transmitters. BE SURE to
provide a drip loop lower than the monitor to keep water from
running down the antenna cable into the monitor connection
3. Program the unit according the Programming Instructions on the
following page.
4. Route the data/power cable to the interior of the generator
control housing on the right-hand side.
5. The monitor connects to the Generac E Panel using the wiring
definitions as shown in Table 1.
6. Temporarily mount the monitor to the side of the control and
attach the antenna cable to the front of the monitor, and tighten
thumb tight.
7. Allow 15 minutes for the monitor to log into the network and then
call OmniMetrix Tech Support at 770-209-0012 to confirm
installation. Access to machine data is through the OmniView®
web interface at www.omnimetrix.net. Contact OmniMetrix for
login instructions and web training.
8. Reassemble the controller and attach the monitor, via the
magnetic feet, to the top of the control panel or other appropriate
location. Horizontal surfaces are best, but the unit may be
mounted vertically or even upside down if necessary. Note: If
mounted vertically, install the monitor with the cables down to
prevent water from entering the enclosure.

LED Behavior:
The BLUE LED will illuminate at boot up (stay on). The LED will start blink rapidly, on/off every 1/2
second, once the modem is connected to an available tower. The LED will begin to blink more
slowly, three seconds on, three seconds off, once the modem has connected to the OmniMetrix
server. Note: The BLUE LED is an indication of network service. If it continues to stay illuminated
(on), please check the SIM card, antenna, and signal strength.
The Red LED illuminates approximately 20 seconds after the Blue LED illuminates. A solid Red LED
indicates the unit is trying to log into our server.
After approximately 20 seconds, Red LED turns off and the Green LED illuminates for 3 seconds. This
indicates the unit has logged into our server.
The Red LED or Green LED flashes after login: Short Green LED flashes indicate the monitor is
getting data; Long flashes of the Red LED indicate failure.
Signal Strength: LED signal strength indication is provided at login and routinely during operation,
using the Red & Green LED’s as follows:
1. The Red & Green LED’s flash rapidly for 2 seconds to indicate the beginning of the “Signal
Strength” routine.
2. Next, the LED(s) will stay fully illuminated 2 seconds to indicate the current signal strength:
a. Solid Red LED only = below 10
b. Solid Red & Green LED’s = 10~60
c. Solid Green LED only = greater than 60.
3. To complete the Signal Strength cycle, the Red & Green LED’s flash rapidly again for 2
seconds, then stop (end of cycle).
