2 Installation Instructions MN915001EN June 2016GridAdvisor Series II smart sensorForcing over the air service provision (OTASP)(Verizon® only)If the cellular provider being utilized with GridAdvisor SeriesII smart sensor does not require use of a SIM card as iscase with Verizon® CDMA network, the user must initiatean OTASP (over the air service provision). This specificaction will cause the sensor to actively interrogate thenetwork for a proper IP address from which the devicewas activated. Failure to complete this step will result incommunication failures generally visualized to customer assimultaneously red blinking LEDs.1. Ensure that device is powered up and has completedinitialization as indicated by double green blinking LEDs.2. Reed switch device by placing a strong earth metalmagnet next to the device as indicated by the symbol“R” found on the rear side corner of the upper housingopposite of LEDs.3. Reed switch will initiate Bluetooth® discovery mode,but in order for OTASP to complete the sensor mustnot be paired with. After a two minute timeout, thesensor will connect to network and receive proper IPaddress and preferred roaming list.4. Alternatively, if the device is Bluetooth® paired andconnected to ProView NXG software, the sensor willcomplete OTASP upon disconnect of ProView NXGsoftware.5. OTASP may take up to five (5) minutes, with includedretries, so do not remove battery from device withinthis time frame.6. OTASP results can be confirmed in the sensor’scommunication logs with the ProView NXG software.ote:N If the OTASP process fails and the sensor blinks redLEDs continuously, check the communication log fordiagnostics. OTASP can fail if sensor is on roamingnetwork or has poor signal strength.Installing battery1. Remove sensor barrel cap to access batterycompartment. Take care not to lose the gasket locatedon inside of cover.2. Locate battery inside sensor and battery connector onside wall inside sensor shown in Figure 1.3. Battery and sensor connectors are keyed to preventmisalignment. Press connectors together until theysnap into locking position.4. Device will begin initialization and attempt cellularactivation.5. Re-tighten cap from 17-22 in-lbs of torque to preventany water ingress.In cases where a torque wrench is not available; tightenthe cap until the gasket inside the cap makes contactwith the battery, turn another 1/2 turn to ensure propertightening.Shelf modeAs an alternative to disconnecting the battery for prolongedtime without a proper charging source, the sensor can becommanded into “Shelf Mode”. This is accomplished viaan active connection with ProView NXG using the Operate> Control Operation dialog, or by sending a DNP3 binaryoutput control command via the SCADA connection tobinary output index 08.To return the sensor to normal operation from Shelf Mode,perform a reed switch with a magnetic reset tool. Thedevice will then initialize in the same manner as wheninstalling the battery. There is no way to remotely force thisaction, so ensure the device initializes before leaving thesite.WARNINGLeaving sensor activated without proper chargingcurrent source will lead to equipment (battery) damage.G101.0
