DANGER! Avoid Power Lines!
When following instructions in this
guide to install and connect the
antenna and connections, take extreme
care to avoid contact with overhead
power lines, lights, and other power
circuits.
Contact with these items may be fatal.
Product Description
The MRI-3000 system provides a satellite-based path to communicate with
Ethernet equipped remotely installed metering / logging equipment. (see Figure
1) The system consists of an Antenna mounted high to provide an unobstructed
view of the sky, the MRI-3000 Controller Unit, and interconnection cabling.
The MRI-3000 Controller Unit provides a single point to attach the Ethernet cable
from the metering equipment, as well as 110vac to power the system. Two coax
cables connect the MRI-3000 Controller Unit to the Antenna.
An external system, such as an MV-90 server, can retrieve meter information by
connecting to an IP address representing the remote metering equipment. When
satellite coverage is established, a TCP/IP connection is established between the
remote metering equipment and the external system as if the meter was
connected directly to the external system.
This product is designed for use with Globalstar-approved antennas only. As of
the publication date of this manual, approved antennas include the Globalstar
Active Magnetic Patch Antenna (GAT-17MP), Globalstar Passive Patch Antenna
(GAT-17PP), and Globalstar Maritime Mount Antenna (GAZT-17MR). Note that
the antenna cables provided with this product are specifically tuned for the MRI3000. Please contact CornerTurn if you would like to use a different antenna or
antenna cables different than those available with the product. Failure to do so
will void the warranty. Contact information is provided on the front of this manual.

Safety Considerations
When mounting the antenna or junction box, take extreme care to avoid contact
with overhead power lines, electric lights, and power circuits. Contact with power
lines, electric lights, or power circuits can be fatal. It is recommended to mount
the antenna at least 10 feet away from any overhead power lines.
DO NOT connect a standard USB cable to the MRI-3000 Controller Unit Test
port for any purpose. Use only a USB Null Modem Cable when connecting to the
Test port. Connecting any USB cable other than the one specified in Table 1
may damage the MRI-3000 Controller Unit.

Installation Plan
Complete Site Survey
Conduct a site survey and determine the optimal mounting location for the
antenna and the MRI-3000 Controller Unit. The antenna needs to be mounted to
provide the best, unimpeded view of the entire sky down to an elevation of 10
degrees above the horizon. The antenna performance will be the best from
higher elevation angles and progressively worse toward the horizon. It should be
at least 5 feet away from other transmitting antennas. Trees, leaves, limbs, hills,
and walls are all obstructions that will block the antenna signal. The selected
antenna mounting location should be high enough to provide a clear line of sight
above those obstructions.
The MRI-3000 Controller Unit is not waterproof and must be mounted in an
enclosed area. The Ethernet cable that connects the Controller Unit to the user
equipment must be less than 100 meters in length. The MRI-3000 Controller
Unit must also be mounted close enough to the antenna, to safely run the RF
cables (36 or 66 feet) that were ordered with the system. The MRI-3000
Controller Unit requires a 110VAC input. The Unit comes with an attached 6 foot
power cord with a NEMA 5-15 plug. If a longer power cord is required, one can
be easily installed to replace the supplied cable. This procedure is discussed in
greater detail in Step 4, Attaching Input Power.
