Cellwatch Frontier System Installation & User Manual
Section I – Installation Guide-61
FED devices mounted and connected in series
Note: All FED units should be installed on batteries with cables connected BEFORE power is applied. If
changes are made to the mounting of the FEDs after the first power up, the string of FED devices
should be power cycled by pulling power to the first FED.
Powering up
Upon powering up, the FED units will need to adjust to the battery room environment. It is required to
wait at least 5 minutes while the FED units stabilize before configuring them in the Frontier user
interface.
For new installations, all FEDs will show fast flashing green LEDs the first time they are powered up to
indicate that they have not yet been calibrated. Only after verifying that all FEDs are flashing green
quickly should the installer move onto calibration.
A FED device error is indicated by a constant green LED. If this occurs, power cycle the FED chain by
pulling power to the first FED unit. If one or more units do not return to a normal state, then these units
should be returned to NDSL.
Removal Instructions
If FEDs must be moved or adjusted, take the necessary precautions when removing the FED from a
container. Disconnect CAT5 cable from the FED before removing. The adhesive on the back of the FED to
the container is very strong. Twist or rotate FED units to remove. Do not attempt to pull them straight
off.
