Important - Always check the handover procedure to ensure that the product is handed over according to the requirements.
Overview
The following must be connected:
Power supply
Communication cable for one or more control units
GSMGSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) is a widely used standard for mobile communication and data. antenna
Power Supply
The supply cable is routed through the cable gland in the side:
Voltage 230V AC
Fuse max. 10A
Important - Check that the cable gland on WaterStation is tightened and seals around the cable so the penetration is watertight.
Control Box
The communication cable is routed through the cable gland in the side:
For each water outletOutlet where water can be drawn from the equipment., a control unit must be connected and installed.
Alternatively, one control unit can be used for several water outletsOutlet where water can be drawn from the equipment.. See settings for more information.
Termination:
When a control box is installed, the 120 ohm resistor must be removed from the connection point:
In WaterStation, the 120 ohm resistor must be removed.
In the control box, the 120 ohm resistor must be installed:
Note that only one resistor must be installed on the last control box, or on the control box if there is only one.
The recommended termination method listed here must be followed.
The recommended resistor listed here must be used.
Communication cable:
The maximum communication-cable length from WaterStation to the outermost control box is 600 metres.
The recommended communication cable listed here must be used.
Important - Check that the cable gland on WaterStation is tightened and seals around the cable so the penetration is watertight.

GSMGSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) is a widely used standard for mobile communication and data. Antenna
The GSMGSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) is a widely used standard for mobile communication and data. cable is routed through the cable gland in the side:
The GSMGSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) is a widely used standard for mobile communication and data. connector is routed into the cabinet inside the well and screwed onto the VikMoteController with built-in GSM and data logger. unit.
The GSMGSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) is a widely used standard for mobile communication and data. antenna must be placed outside the well and above ground level.
If the GSMGSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) is a widely used standard for mobile communication and data. cable is used underground, it must be routed in conduit.
Important - Check that the cable gland on WaterStation is tightened and seals around the cable so the penetration is watertight.
