OmniMetrix TrueGuard-Pro User manual

1. Unpack the monitor, antenna and the data/power cable. The
data/power cable is a black cable with DB9 data connectors on
two ends and red/black wires emerging from the connector
labeled OmniMetrix®End. Take a moment to inspect all
components to verify there is no shipping damage.
2. Place the antenna vertically on the roof of the generator and route
the antenna cable into the area of the generator control. 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. Note: If mounted vertically, install the monitor with the
cables down to prevent water from entering the enclosure.
3. Attach the monitor to the top of the generator control enclosure, as
shown.
4. Route the red and black wires, of the OmniMetrix data/power
cable, through the cable entry on the back of the generator control
by raising the cable entry gate and sliding the wires through. Be
sure to retighten the gate screws.
5. Locate the terminal strip inside the generator control enclosure.
Attach the black wire to the ground terminal labeled ‘0’ on the right
end of the terminal strip. Attach the red wire to the ‘Battery+’
terminal on the left end of the terminal strip. On 12V systems,
‘Battery+’ will be labeled ‘13’ or ‘15’. On 24V systems, it will be
labeled ‘218’ or ‘220’.
6. Attach the antenna cable to the front of the monitor and tighten
thumb tight.
7. Plug the data cable end labeled “Omnimetrix End”into the DB-9
connector on the front of the OmniMetrix monitor and tighten
screws.
8. Plug the other data cable end into the Generac data connector
and tighten screws.
9. Turn on the monitor and confirm that the LEDs light up and blink.
If not, check for power on the terminal strip. If, after 5 minutes, the
only LED lit is the Power LED, check the antenna mount and
cable connection.
10. Allow 15 minutes for the monitor to log into the network and then
call OmniMetrix at 770-209-0012 to confirm installation. Access to
machine data is through the OmniView®web interface at
