Tracker LT Wiring Diagram
Basic Testpoint Monitoring: Connect the brown wire to the pipeline lead, connect the yellow wire
to the reference electrode lead.
Single Coupon (instant-off) Test Station Monitoring: Connect brown wire to the pipeline lead,
yellow wire to the reference electrode lead, and blue/white wire to the coupon lead (Tracker LT
supports single coupon connection only).
Critical Bond Monitoring: Connect the red/white lead to the “shunt +” connection, and connect the
orange/white wire to the “shunt –“ connection. If structure-to-soil connections are desired, connect
the brown wire to the critical structure lead, connect the yellow wire to the reference electrode lead,
and connect the blue/white wire to the second structure lead.
Activation and LCD Display
1. To activate the Tracker Monitor Unit, Press and hold the button on the side of the unit for approximately 4 seconds
until the “Power” LED turns on solid then release to initialize communication to the website. While initializing
communication with the cellular network, the LED will flash in a steady “On/Off” sequence. The LED will turn off
when the initial communication is completed. When communication is made with the website, the website will
send the latest configuration to the unit.
2. The Tracker unit will obtain measurements for all of the configured channels and forward the data to the website.
3. The Tracker unit will automatically go into “sleep” mode until the next measurement cycle.

Field Installation
The Tracker LT is sent from the factory with the
connection cable routed through a cordgrip on the
back/bottom of the enclosure. There is an access
hole on the side of the unit used for routing the cord
when it is necessary to mount the unit directly post,
junction box, etc. If re-routing the cable, use the
cordgrip on the side hole, and cap the bottom hole
with the plug from the side hole.
Note: When mounting the Tracker, use the included
“riser pipe adapter” for installation on the top of the
riser pipe, or use the mounting holes on the case
flanges for mounting to a durable surface.
Mounting the Tracker to a PVC
marker pole
1. Thread the connection cable through the hole
in the base of the adapter.
2. Secure the adapter to the monitoring unit using
the supplied nuts and bolts.
3. Wire the unit according to the wiring diagram in
the next column for the appropriate field
application (test station, bond, etc.).
4. Secure the unit to the riser pipe using screws,
or bolts.
Mounting to a post, utility pole, or
junction box
1. Re-route the connection cable through the side
hole, using the cordgrip, as described above if
necessary, and plug the hole on the bottom of
the unit.
2. Secure the unit to the pole using 5/8” wood
screws with washers (for wooden posts), or
5/8” self-tapping metal screws with washers
(for metal poles and junction boxes. The
mounting hardware is not supplied with the
Tracker unit.
3. Wire the unit according to the wiring diagram in
the next column for the appropriate field
application (test station, bond, etc.).
