Scope of this Manual
This manual provides instructions for the installation and operation of the MOSCAD-M ™
Remote Terminal Unit (RTU). It also provides on-site tuning instructions for RTU elements
that do not necessarily require shop level assistance.
This manual covers the basic RTU and most communications and I/O options. The online help
of the MOSCAD-M RTU Configurator contains additional information on the RTU.
General Description
The RTU is a remotely located unit used for monitoring and control of local equipment. The
unit can operate in stand-alone mode, or as an intelligent RTU or node on a distributed control
system.
The RTU consists of the following components installed in a plastic case: printed circuit
board, internal/external radio, and battery housing. This manual describes both basic and
expanded I/O models.
The MOSCAD-M is a low-power unit that incorporates a variety of power save modes which
enable the unit to operate with minimal power consumption.
The RTU case is suitable for either wall or DIN rail mounting.
Figure 1 provides a general view of the MOSCAD-M RTU.
The MOSCAD-M RTU is enclosed in an indoor plastic case and is intended for outdoor base
station use. The installer must make sure that the installation meets the requirements of the
standard and protects the unit from weather hazards.
The antenna must be physically secured at a permanent outdoor location.
