Installation Requirements
Before you install the RM4150 or RM4151 unit, use the following information as a checklist
to ensure a successful installation:
Power Disconnect and Branch Circuit Protection: A customer-supplied,
power disconnect device is required for the unit installation. The power disconnect
device (such as a switch, main circuit breaker, or other type of power disconnect)
should provide an easy and accessible means for removing the main input supply
power source from the unit. Multiple-pole circuit breakers shall interrupt all neutral
and ungrounded connectors of mains supply simultaneously. The power
disconnect device must be clearly marked to identify it as the disconnect device for
the unit. The power disconnect or separate overcurrent protection device should
also provide overcurrent protection in the form of a 20 amp fuse or circuit breaker
suitable for branch circuit protection per local codes and requirements.
Backup Battery: The units should only be used with a 12 V DC, 0.8 AH capacity,
re-chargeable sealed lead acid battery. If you need to replace the battery, please
contact Technical Support for information about purchasing a replacement battery
(American Innovations’ part number 370109-000; manufacturer’s part number PS1208).
NOTE: Refer to Appendix B, Battery Replacement on page 54 for instructions on
changing the backup battery.
Wiring Requirements: For optimum protection from transient voltages (typically,
Channels 1 and 2), all analog inputs must be in their own multi-conductor jacket
cable (such as cable AI part number 211061-000 - Belden 5308UE, or its
equivalent). All cables must have intact outer jackets, except for end cuts. Do not
remove cable jackets as they protect the unit input cable from transient voltages.
Cable insulation should be suited for voltage range of inputs. Cables should be
rated at a minimum of 600 V and 105˚ C.
Input Channel Voltage Levels: All input channels are marked with acceptable
input voltage ranges. Ensure that devices connected to the RM4100 units fall within
the voltages ranges listed next to the channel input connections.
Getting Started

Cellular Radio Transmitter: The RM4150 and RM4151 contain a cellular radio
transmitter, and usage may be dangerous in environments such as:
•
Where it can interfere with other electronic devices in environments such as
hospitals, airports, aircraft, etc.
•
Where there is risk of explosion such as gasoline stations, oil refineries, etc.
•
The antenna has to be installed with care in order to avoid any interference
with other electronic devices and has to be guaranteed a minimum distance
from the body (20 cm). In the event that this requirement cannot be satisfied,
the system integrator has to assess the final product against the SAR
regulation.
•
It is the responsibility of the user to enforce the country regulation and the
specific environment regulation.
Earth (ground) terminal: Indicates a protective earth ground connection is
required. The RM4100 Series units require grounding.
•
Antenna Installation: The dual GSM/GPS antenna should be placed outside the
rectifier.
•
Mounting the Enclosure: Place the RM4150 or RM4151 inside the rectifier,
either by placing it on the floor of the rectifier case or by attaching magnets to the
unit and securing to an available area. Choose an area that provides enough room
to easily access the unit or to perform routine maintenance after completing the
installation. Use the information in Figure 1-1 when deciding where to install the
unit.
WARNING: Equipment intended to be mounted on a wall or ceiling shall withstand
a force of four times (4x) the weight of the equipment.

Preparing for the Installation
WARNING: Only accessories that meet American Innovations’ specifications may be used
with the RM4150 or RM4151.
WARNING: Turn off power to the rectifier before beginning any wiring installation to the
RM4150 or RM4151.
Use the following items as a checklist prior to installing either the RM4150 or RM4151:
1
For information regarding safety symbols found on the unit, refer to Safety and
Equipment Symbols on page 2.
2
If the unit will be placed or mounted inside the rectifier, refer to Placement /
Mounting Requirements on page 19 for more information.
3
Ensure that the latest version of BATtools and other support software are installed
on the computer you plan to use during the installation. Refer to Configuration
and Support Software on page 8 for more information.
Electrostatic Discharge
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components. Provide ESD protection
by wearing an antistatic wrist strap attached to any unpainted metal surface before
opening the enclosure door of the unit or handling electronic parts. If an antistatic wrist
strap is unavailable, discharge static electricity from yourself and your clothing by touching
a nearby metal surface before opening the enclosure door of the unit or handling
electronic components.
Ground Connection
Common practice is to ground the shield of the instrument cable at only one end. Instead,
ground the shield drain wire to a suitable ground point at the source of the signal. This
method is intended to drain off electrically induced voltage levels from external sources in
an effort to ensure the most accurate and stable signal. The shield wire should never be
grounded on both ends. If the signal has unacceptable fluctuation, the system ground
should be repaired or improved.
18
Placement / Mounting Requirements
The RM4150 and RM4151 are designed to be installed inside the rectifier. The list below
identifies conditions to consider before installing the unit. Magnets are included with the
units for mounting on an available surface inside the rectifier.

Mercury Relay Customer Advisory
The information in this section is intended to notify American Innovations (AI) customers
of the manufacturer’s published limitations on mercury relays.
Customers primarily purchase mercury relays for use with current interrupters. Current
interrupters provide great programming flexibility to enable customers to use a wide
variety of interruption cycles.
AI supplies mercury relays from a variety of respected and reliable vendors including MDI
and American Electronic Components (AEC). These manufacturers publish expected relay
lives of 3 to 6 million cycles depending upon the type of relay selected. AEC, the
manufacturer of Durakool relays, indicates that relay life will be significantly shortened at
rates exceeding 1,500 cycles per hour. MDI recommends no more than 900 cycles per hour.
Depending upon the interruption cycle chosen by the customer, it is possible to exceed
the manufacturer’s recommendation, which would result in a likely reduction of service life.
As an example, customers who elect to use mercury relays to interrupt at 1 cycle per
second will generate 3600 cycles per hour. Customers should consult the manufacturer’s
documentation to select the appropriate relay for the application.
Durakool information can be found on the AEC web page at the following address:
http://www.aecsensors.com/html
In the Durakool documentation, the following two situations are explained that may
impact the current carrying capacity of the relay: 1) cycle rate and 2) voltage values. The
sizing tables indicate a methodology for determining the maximum amperage that can be
carried depending upon the cycle rate. An additional de-rating table for mercury relays is
provided for those instances where voltage in excess of 48 V DC is being interrupted.
When selecting relays, customers should be aware of both of these de-rating tables to
choose the best relay for the application.
60
To avoid depolarization of the CP system, the mercury relays that AI sells are of the
normally closed variety. It is possible that a normally closed relay will fail at the end of its
life in the open position due to a malfunction of the spring mechanism which drives the
plunger/contacts into a normally closed position. If this occurs, a depolarization situation
would result. AI has the following two recommendations:
1
Customers using mercury relays should consider periodic replacement of these
relays based upon engineering estimated life via a preventive maintenance
program to reduce the likelihood of an open circuit failure.
2
If fast cycle operation is common, AI recommends a solid state relay for maximum
life and reliability.
Although most interrupters are capable of being programmed for faster interruption
cycles, AI recommends that customers not exceed 900 cycles per hour (or a cycle time of
less than four seconds) and will not warranty devices that are utilized in this manner. AI
adds a serial number to relays that is supplied that we supply to enable the tracking of the
shipment date. The approximate age of the relay may be used to assist AI in return
material response, failure analysis, and warranty claims. Manufacturers will be consulted to
help determine failure cause and to advise customers that warranties may not be honored
if it is deemed that the mercury relay is used outside of recommended parameters.
If you have questions or need additional information, please contact Technical Support
(800-299-3404). Office hours are Monday–Friday, 8:30–5:00 Central Time.

Deadband
Deadband applies hysteresis to low and high alarm
values. It is an area of equal value above and below the
alarm values. The deadband acts as a buffer: when the
input voltage passes below the deadband area, this is
the alarm point that triggers a low alarm transmission;
likewise, when the input voltage passes above the
deadband area, this is the alarm point that triggers a
high alarm transmission. In BATtools, the deadband is
identified on the dial icon for each channel in either
yellow or orange (see Figure 3-15, page 41).

Persistence
Persistence (Alarm Persistence, Input Persistence) is the
number of samples an input channel must complete
while in a particular state before that state is recognized
as an alarm. Persistence is an optional filter. The purpose
of the filter is to prevent short spurious noise pulses
from triggering an alarm. If the input channel goes out
of alarm during the polling cycle, the unit resets and
does not transmit an alarm. When Persistence is set to
zero (0), no filter is applied and the alarm state is
recognized immediately.
For example, if an input channel is set up with a high
alarm and a persistence value of 5, the input channel
must complete 6 samples in a high state before it is
recognized as a high alarm.
Polling Cycle
Polling cycle refers to how often the unit scans or reads
input channels. BATtools scans input channels at regular
intervals based on the hardware sampling of the unit
type.
Radio ISN
Radio Identification Serial Number. The SkyWave
satellite terminal and unit ship from the factory as a
matching pair. Both are assigned the same ISN at the
factory for identification purposes. Also see Unit ISN.
