1.0 Introduction
The SPC4TM Model 702-DL WiFi Load Monitoring System (SPC4TM System) is designed to facilitate the
bolted structures’maintenance process by remotely receiving the clamp load seen in a bolted joint. The
SPC4TM System can also store the clamp load values and it can be interfaced with a computer to download
and analyze the previously stored values. This SPC4TM System is used in conjunction with fasteners fitted
with load indicating hardware and SPC4TM 702-01 WiFi Load Monitoring Units.
The SPC4TM System incorporates precision electronic devices. As all attempts have been made to
manufacture these components as rugged as possible, care must be taken in handling the WiFi data logging
system, the power cord, antenna, and USB flash drive. Flagrant or abusive handling of these components can
render them inoperable and/or compromise the accuracy of the measured load readings. The antenna and
antenna connector of the system are sensitive, hence the use of a protective cap and antenna holder. Also, all
of the SPC4TM load indicating fasteners have been shipped with protective caps installed to protect the datum-
disk surface. These protective caps should always remain on the datum-disks and only be removed to install
the SPC4TM 702-01 WiFi load monitoring unit for measuring loads. After measuring loads, the protective
caps should be replaced to keep the datum-disk surface clean and to protect it from incidental contact damage.
Store any protective caps in a safe and clean area whenever SPC4TM 702-01 units are installed.
With proper care and use, this system can provide years of reliable operation. To this end, it is very
important to completely familiarize yourself with the operation of this system before use. Read this manual
carefully and pay particular attention to all precautions and warnings.
1.1 Inspection
During unpacking of the SPC4TM System, carefully check each item for damage that may have occurred
in shipment. If anything is damaged or missing, please contact:

Please see “Figure 1.3.1 - 702-DL - Front View (Lid Open)”and “Figure 1.3.2 - 702-DL - Bottom View”.
..1.. - ANTENNA HOLDER
Storage location for the antenna when it is not in use or during transportation. Whenever the antenna is
not connected to the DL, it should be placed in its holder and the antenna connector cap (ACC) attached
to the antenna connector.
..2.. - FRONT PANEL
Physical interface of the DL. Allows the user to turn on the system, understand simple system
information via LEDs, access to the physical USB flash drive containing the data log, and access
additional ports for debugging. Refer to “Figure 1.3.3 - 702-DL - Front Panel”for more information.
..3.. - PRESSURE PURGE
Automatic pressure purge system built into the case.
..4.. - POWER SUPPLY SCREWS (x2)
Screws that hold the system’s power supply to the case. These screws should never be removed. These
screws are sealed using silicone sealant to make the DL as waterproof as possible.
..5.. - CORD GRIP
Holds the power cord in place so that it can not be pulled out or pushed into the case. Ensures a
waterproof connection between the power cord and the case.
..6.. - POWER CORD
Used in conjunction with an electrical outlet to provide power to the DL. Included in the kit are power
cord tips (PCT) for international use outside of the United States.
..7.. - NETWORK CONNECTOR SCREWS (x4)
Screws that hold the network connector in place. These screws should never be removed.
..8.. - NETWORK CONNECTOR
Gives the user the option of expanding the DL network via an external network port. This particular
port is rugged and durable for industrial use. This network connector is WAN by default but can be
configured to LAN if requested
..9.. - NETWORK CONNECTOR CAP
Protects the network connector when not in use. The network connector cap ensures that the network
port is not damaged or dirtied.
.10. - ANTENNA CONNECTOR
Connects the antenna to the DL. Please see 2.6 Antenna Installation when connecting the antenna.
When not in use, attach the antenna connector cap (ACC) over the antenna connector to protect it from
dirt and damage.

Please see “Figure 1.3.4 - 702-DL - Front Panel”.
..1.. - “ON/STANDBY”LED
A yellow LED that shows the current status of the DL. When off, the DL is not currently powered.
When blinking, the DL is in its standby mode (WiFi router is powered). When purely on, the DL is
currently in its on/active mode (DL can receive and store data).
..2.. - “POWER ON/OFF”BUTTON
When pressed only momentarily (a press followed by a release) while the DL is in the standby mode
(see previous bullet “ON/STANDBY”LED), the DL will start its boot up sequence and turn on. When
pressed only momentarily (a press followed by a release) while the DL is on, the DL will start its shut
down sequence and enter the standby mode.
..3.. - “HDMI OUT”CONNECTOR
Used together with an HDMI cable and monitor permitting a qualified technician or operator to
access the video output of the Raspberry Pi™single board computer (for debugging purposes), view
2.9.2 702-DL Raspberry Pi™.
..4.. - “HDMI OUT”SCREWS
Screws that hold the “HDMI OUT”CONNECTOR in place. These screws should not be removed by
anyone unless they are a qualified technician.
..5.. - “LAN | WAN”CONNECTOR
The "LAN/WAN Connector" can be either LAN (default) or WAN. This is used together with an
Ethernet cable to establish a direct connection to the DL network.
..6.. - “LAN | WAN”SCREWS
Screws that hold “LAN | WAN”CONNECTOR in place. These screws should not be removed by
anyone unless they are a qualified technician.
..7.. - “WiFi ON”LED
A red LED that shows the current status of the DL’s WiFi. When off, the DL’s WiFi is off. When on,
the DL’s WiFi is on. When flickering, the DL is transmitting or receiving data. The WiFi LED will only
turn on if the router is fully powered (see next bullet).
..8.. - “ROUTER ON”LED
A green LED showing the current status of the on board router. When off, the router is off. When on,
the router is on. The WiFi will start to boot up when the router is fully powered resulting in a short
delay in the “WiFi ON”LED turning on after the router LED turns on.
..9.. - “ACT”LED
A green LED representing the data activity of the DL. When the LED is on, the DL is currently
accessing all stored memory. When off, the DL is not accessing any stored memory. The USB flash
drive should never be removed when the “ACT”LED is on or data will be corrupted. The same result
will happen if the power cord is removed from an electrical socket with the LED on.

.10. - USB CONNECTORS
Three USB connectors (named “USB-1”, “USB-2”, and “USB-3”) connected to the on board computer
which are used with USB devices such as the supplied USB flash drive. The USB flash drive must be
connected in one of these slots in order for the system to log load readings. Extra USB slots are for
other peripherals limited to a keyboard and mouse (permitting a qualified technician or operator to
access the system’s Raspberry Pi™on board computer, see 2.9.2 702-DL Raspberry Pi™). Visit 2.5.2
Flash Drive Direct Access to remove and insert the USB flash drive to and from the DL. Be advised
that a USB hub should not be used with this system. Absolute max current per port: 500 mA.
.11. - MOTHERBOARD SCREWS (x7)
Screws that attach the USB connectors to the front panel. These screws should not be removed by
anyone unless they are a qualified technician.
.12. - FRONT PANEL SCREWS (x8)
Screws that attach the front panel to the case permitting a qualified technician to access the interior.
1.3.3 Description of the Power Cord Tips (PCT)
Figure 1.3.4 –Power Cord Tips (PCT)
The PCT (Figure 1.3.5 –Power Cord Tips (PCT)) are
provided with the DL for use outside of the United States. Use
the proper PCT for the local area. There are five different PCT
types for these following locations:
Type 1 - Most of Europe
Type 2 - Europe, Middle East/Asia, parts of Africa, Caribbean
Type 3 - North America, South America, Caribbean, Japan
Type 4 - Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, China
Type 5 - UK/Ireland, Africa, Hong Kong, Singapore
1.3.4 Description of the Antenna (ANT)
Figure 1.3.5 –Antenna (ANT)
The supplied antenna (Figure 1.3.6 –Antenna (ANT))
extends the WiFi network range, allowing the DL to send and
receive data over a larger area. The antenna can be found inside
the DL, placed in the antenna holder.
The antenna is sensitive, so to avoid damage, see 2.2
Precautions on how to handle it properly and 2.6 Antenna
Installation on how to install it properly.
Never connect/disconnect the antenna when the router is
on! The ACC should be placed over the external antenna
connector whenever the antenna is not attached.
