CONFIGURING THE MONITORING UNIT’S ANALOG-INPUT AND ALARM

THRESHOLD SETTINGS:

(note: these instructions assume that the Leak Detection Kit is connected to an RSE-series
or RSO unit with firmware v3.6.1 or higher, or a GBB-series unit with v1.5.1 or higher.)

The first step is to re-name the analog inputs to something more descriptive, to help
identify the “cable fault” and “leak” signals when looking at the unit’s logged data or
e-mailed alert messages. These names can be changed from the

Display

tab, in the section

titled

Analog Sensors

.

If you connected the signals
according to the examples above,
Analog 1 will be the “Cable Fault”
signal, and Analog 2 will be the
“Leak Detection” signal, so change
their

Friendly Names

as shown here,

then click

Save Changes

. (The

Min

and

Max

settings can be left at their defaults.) Change

the

Friendly Name

settings for the two analog inputs which the signals from the LD300

control box are connected to.

Next, go to the

Alarms

tab, and click the

Add New Alarm

button to create a new alarm entry.

Choose “

” from the

list of measurements, then set the

Ÿ Connecting the 5V power supply:

The LD300 Control Box is powered by a standard 5VDC wall transformer-style power
supply. Make sure both wires are stripped so that approx. ¼ inch (7mm) of bare wire is
showing, then insert the wires into the appropriate terminals of the 5VDC DC IN terminal
block and tighten the screws to lock the wires into place, as shown here.
