3Installation
3.1 Integration of the WBU into the Greenkeeper control system
Installation and wiring diagram
(For a description of the components, see chapter 2)
In selecting the installation site and cable routes the following criteria should be considered:
The antenna should be installed in such a way that there is the best possible line of
sight to the area from which the transmitter is due to be operated.
The cable path to the WBU should be as short as possible. The antenna cable should
certainly not be longer than 20 metres (see also 2.3.2).

3.2 Installing the antenna
After deciding on the antenna installation site, it makes sense to install the antenna first.
The antenna must be fixed in place firmly and securely. Whether the antenna is be fixed to a
wall or on the ground, Regnerbau Calw GmbH can provide the requisite accessories (see 2.5).
Three possible installation variants are described below.
Variant 1
Installing the antenna using the mounting angle set (see 2.5.1) included in the standard
package:
Fix mounting angle to a wall
Push white protective cap onto the bottom end of the antenna and then guide the
antenna, complete with protective cap, through the mounting angle
Using the counter nut and retaining ring, screw the antenna (see 2.3.1) with protective
cap to the mounting angle
Connect the antenna cable (see 2.3.2)
Lay the antenna cable inside a protective tube all the way to the base unit (2.1.1) or
repeater unit (2.1.3). Maximum cable run: 20 metres.
Using silicon, additionally seal off the connections to stop any water getting in
Installation of earthing:
Connect the mounting angle to the skid (see 2.5.7), which has to be hammered into the
ground, by a copper cable with a min. Size of 16mm². As option it’s possible, to
connect to the grounding system to the grounding of the building.
All of the parts, except the antenna cable, are included in the mounting angle set.
Earthing is essential to provide protection from overvoltage!

3.3 Installing the base unit (WBU)
Unscrew and take off the WBU’s casing cover
Fix WBU to the wall, following the instructions listed at 3.1
Draw antenna cable through the left cable connector screw fastener and screw onto the
antenna socket
On the power supply unit, pinch off plug connector at the cable and strip off insulation
Draw cable through the right cable connector screw fastener and firmly screw the
stripped cable ends in the power connection terminal. (Polarity as selected)
Set voltage at power supply unit to 9V
Screw base unit casing cover back on
Connect RS232 interface cable with VCU and PC as per sketch (see 3.1)
Establish power supply
3.4 Using the wireless transmitter (WT) for the first time
Open battery compartment cover
Insert battery
Close cover
Select appropriate plug for the charger from the set and connect to the power supply
unit
The charger must be set to 9V
Plug in charger Connect wireless transmitter to charger.
The display should now show ‘Charger Connect’.
3.5 Checking whether a repeater unit is needed
3.5.1 Determine area with wireless connection
After the WBU has been installed and the WT is ready for use, you can test out the
area with wireless coverage.
ªNote:
Depending on terrain / location, you can assume a range of c. 800-1500
metres. However, if the reach is not adequate, you can double it using the
wireless repeater unit (WRU)
ATTENTION

TDP058e.doc Rev. 29.09.2010 (v1.16) Page 17 / 33

Phone: [phone] / Fax : [phone]
E-mail: [e-mail] / E-mail Konstruktion : [e-mail]
Reach is determined by going to the ‘Transceiver Test’ menu (see 5.5.5) on the WT
and pacing out the desired area.
If the WT is moved quickly, e.g. in a moving vehicle, the wireless
connection may get interrupted.
With a good connection the test will show hardly any errors.
An error ratio of <5% can be tolerated. If the error ratio starts to rise, you are outside
of coverage range. If you want to cover this area with the wireless connection, a
repeater unit must therefore be installed.
In selecting a suitable site for the repeater unit (WRU), you must bear in mind the
following:
ªThe WRU must be set up within the area where the wireless connection to the
base unit is still stable.
ªA building for fixing the antenna makes setting up the unit easier
ªA 220V power supply or decoder cable must be available (220V supply is
preferable).
3.5.2 Installing the wireless repeater unit (WRU)
ªAt selected site set up antenna as per suggestions at 3.2
ªUnscrew and take off the repeater unit’s casing cover.
ªFix repeater unit to the wall.
ªDraw antenna cable through the left cable connector screw fastener and screw
onto the antenna socket
ªIMPORTANT: Antenna cable must not be longer than 20 metres.
ªOn the power supply unit, pinch off plug connector at the cable and strip off
insulation
ªDraw cable through the right cable connector screw fastener and screw the
stripped cable ends tightly into the power connection terminal.
ªSet voltage at power supply unit to 12V
ªScrew repeater unit casing cover back on
ªEstablish power supply

ªAt selected site set up antenna as per suggestions at 3.2
ªUnscrew and take off the repeater unit’s casing cover.
ªFix repeater unit to the wall.
ªDraw antenna cable through the left cable connector screw fastener and screw
onto the antenna socket
ªIMPORTANT: Antenna cable must not be longer than 20 metres.
ªConnect DLA as per wiring diagram at 2.2.2 to WRU and decoder cable
Whenever wiring work is being done the decoder cable must
disconnected from the power supply.
Cables must be connected using watertight connectors.

the DLA must be earthed using the earth rod.
ªScrew shut WRU’s casing cover
ªSwitch power supply back on
ªCheck WRU is working properly as described at 2.1.3
4Transfering data to the base unit
4.1 Transfer system data to base unit
Before the WT can be used, the system data and associated decoder numbers have to be
transferred to the base unit.
This is generally done during installation and it is therefore usually not necessary to transfer
the data again.
However, if any valve names have changed, been deleted or added, then the data does
need to be transferred again.
Data transfer to base unit
For this to be done the base unit has to be connected to the PC and VCU.
Start the Greenkeeper software and enter the password for Level 3.
Click the menu [Service / Transmitter download].
Click Start downloading
The data is then transferred to the base unit.

Greenkeeper Win version 2.03c or later is required. The wireless
transmitter does not work with older versions.
Even if the wireless transmitter is installed, the wired transmitter can still be
used. For data transfer, however, the VCU must be connected back directly
to the PC, i.e. the base unit in between has to be unplugged.
If any programme data changes, the system data must be reloaded onto the base unit.
4.2 Transfer valve data to wireless transmitter
After the system data has been transferred to the WBU, the next step requires the data from
the WBU to be loaded onto the WT. This is done as described at 5.5.1.
The valve numbers are listed alphabetically or by decoder number. This
enables you to define the sequence in the WT when issuing valve names
(Note: G01 not G1).
4.3 Transfer programme data to wireless transmitter
As the WT can also be used to start watering programmes, the programme data must also be
transferred from the WBU to the WT. This is done in a separate step, which is described at
5.5.2.
The transfer of programme data to the WT only has to be done again if any
watering programmes on the VCU are added or deleted. To do so, repeat 4.1
and 4.3.
