Overview

This document is the Installation Manual for the Kingfisher PLUS+ series of devices, which appear to be Remote Terminal Units (RTUs) and associated modules used for industrial control and monitoring applications. The manual provides comprehensive instructions for the physical installation, wiring, and setup of these devices, along with details on various components and their interconnections.

Function Description

The Kingfisher PLUS+ RTUs are designed for data acquisition and control in various industrial environments. They typically consist of a backplane, a power supply, and a processor module, which can be expanded with additional communication ports and a wide range of input/output (I/O) modules. These RTUs are capable of handling analog and digital inputs and outputs, communicating with various devices such as modems and radios, and can be powered by AC, DC, or solar panels. The system is modular, allowing for flexible configurations to meet specific application requirements.

Important Technical Specifications

Wiring Specifications:

  • I/O Modules: Use 0.75 to 2.08 mm² (18 to 14 AWG) wire, with a Fujicon I/O terminal tension of 1 Nm.
  • Battery and 12V Power: Use 2.5 to 4.0 mm² (13 to 11 AWG) wire. For runs greater than 2 meters, 4 mm² wire is recommended.

Analog Inputs (AI-1, AI-10, IO-3, IO-4):

  • Support both loop-powered (2-wire) and self-powered (3 or 4-wire) analog input transmitters.
  • Default input range is 4 to 20 mA. A link on the back of the module can be removed for 0 to 20 mA operation on all channels of AI-1, AO-2, IO-3, or IO-4.
  • AI-10 module's current or voltage range is software configurable.
  • AI-1 and AI-10 modules provide a +24V output for powering transmitters.
  • IO-3 and IO-4 modules feature three separate isolated groups for analog input/output, digital input, and digital output, each capable of being powered from a separate source.
  • Analog input channel 1 on the IO-4 can be factory modified to support a strain gauge input (0-50 mV, with optional +E, -E, +S, -S connections).

Digital Inputs (DI-5, DI-10, IO-2, IO-3, IO-4):

  • DI-5: Can be powered by the module (+12V) or an external power supply. Polarity can be reversed for external power.
  • DI-10: Can use both DC-powered and AC-powered inputs on the same module. Requires the negative rail of external power supplies to be connected to the 0V/Common terminal.
  • IO-2, IO-3, IO-4: Support both DC-powered and low voltage AC inputs.

Digital Outputs (DO-1, DO-2, DO-6, IO-2, IO-3, IO-4):

  • DO-1, DO-2: Relay outputs. Can be powered by an external power supply, with polarity reversible.
  • DO-2: Optional link for DC supply only, enabling fuse fail LED 'FU'. Maximum voltage of 30V AC or DC for common power when links are installed.
  • DO-6: Outputs are shorted to the 0V terminal when energized. Provides a +12V output sourced from the backplane power rail (not isolated).
  • DO-6 Relay Board (TEL REL 002): Each channel has 3 relay contacts (Normally Open, Common, Normally Closed) connected to two 3-way terminal blocks.
  • IO-2, IO-3, IO-4: Can be powered by an external power supply, with polarity reversible.

Power Supplies (PSU-3, PS-11, PS-21):

  • PS-11 (AC Supply):
    • Input: 100-240 VAC or 96-340 VDC.
    • Outputs: 24 VDC Auxiliary (optional), 13.8 VDC for radio/other devices.
    • Supports backup battery (minimum 7 AH).
    • Includes a temperature sensor (grey with black stripe) to be connected to the negative battery terminal or R-/B-.
    • Caution: Connecting the battery in reverse may damage the power supply.
  • PS-11 (DC Supply):
    • Input: Low voltage DC to battery input terminals, or 96-340 VDC to AC input circuit.
    • Outputs: 24 VDC Auxiliary (optional), 13.8 VDC for radio/other devices, 12 VDC (nominal, must be isolated from field supply).
    • Caution: Connecting DC supply in reverse may damage the PS-11.
  • PS-21:
    • Input: 20 to 60 VDC. A negative DC input supply can be used by connecting the more positive wire (e.g., 0V) to +SUPPLY and the more negative wire (e.g., -48V) to -SUPPLY.
    • Outputs: 24 VDC Auxiliary (optional), 13.8 VDC for radio/other devices.
    • Supports backup battery.
    • Includes a temperature sensor.
    • Caution: Connecting the battery in reverse may cause damage.
  • PSU-3 (Economy AC Input Power Supply for PC-1):
    • +V and -V wired to pins 7 and 8 (12V Supply Input) of the orange BL9 connector on the BA-4 backplane.
    • Includes a voltage adjust (13.8V).

Backplanes (BA-4, BA-6, BA-12, BA-40):

  • Modular design for mounting various I/O modules.
  • Switches need to be set when linking two backplanes (revisions 2.1, 2.2, 3.2).
  • Data cables (BAC-PLUS-0x for Phoenix to Harwin, BAC-0x for older Harwin to Harwin) and power cables (BPC-0x) are used for linking.
  • Rack numbers are required to avoid slot address clashes when linking backplanes.
  • Each backplane typically requires its own PS-11/21 power supply, though a single supply can power multiple backplanes if the total current load is not exceeded.
  • PC-1 processor must be installed in the leftmost slot of a BA-4 backplane due to its two sockets.

Antenna Cable Selection:

  • RG58: Only for runs less than 5 meters within an enclosure or building due to fragility and high loss.
    • Loss per m (@450MHz): 0.44 dB
    • Loss per m (@900MHz): 0.60 dB (Not recommended)
  • RG213: Up to 10 meters, suitable for 6-meter water pipes used as antenna masts.
    • Loss per m (@450MHz): 0.16 dB
    • Loss per m (@900MHz): 0.24 dB
  • LDF4: For runs over 10 meters.
    • Loss per m (@450MHz): 0.05 dB
    • Loss per m (@900MHz): 0.07 dB
  • LDF5: For runs over 10 meters.
    • Loss per m (@450MHz): 0.03 dB
    • Loss per m (@900MHz): 0.04 dB
  • Minimizing connections is crucial as they contribute significantly to signal loss.
