1.1. Safety Information
Connecting Utilities
CAUTION: To ensure the safe and efficient operation of the
equipment and adherence to existing laws and
regulations, only qualified personnel should make
utility connections. Pall Corporation requires that
certified electricians complete all wiring connections
and that qualified personnel, working with Pall
Technology Services representatives if possible,
complete all plumbing work. Pall Corporation is not
responsible for and equipment warranties may be
voided from any damage or personal injury caused by
unqualified personnel performing utility connections
and/or installations!
1.2. Pall System Components
Pall Corporation is supplying a system comprised of WiFi Gateways, Filter Nodes, and
Fluid Interfaces to monitor the health of the hydraulic fluid within the system. Filter Nodes
and Fluid Interfaces monitor the state of the fluid directly through attached sensors, and
report wirelessly to the Wi-Fi Gateway. The Gateway then relays the system state through
the cloud to the backend application which monitors and controls the Filter Node and Fluid
Interface operation.
All external sensors along with associated cables for connecting the sensors to Filter Nodes
and Fluid Interfaces are supplied as part of the system. Power supplies and associated
cables are not supplied as part of the system and are the responsibility of the customer.

2. Installation & Setup
2.1. Filter Node Installation
2.2. Providing a WiFi Access Point
The customer site must provide a WiFi access point (2.4 GHz Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n) that is
in range of the gateway.
If a WiFi access point is not available, but a wired/Ethernet connection is available at the
customer’s site, Pall recommends one of Cisco’s Meraki wireless LANs, such as the MR18
(https://meraki.cisco.com/products/wireless/mr18) indoor access point.
18
Athalon®CM & Crixus™ User Manual
If a WiFi access point is not available and a
wired/ethernet internet connection is not
available, Pall recommends one of
CradlePoint’s wireless routers, such as the
MBR1200B wireless router with 3G/4G
wireless WAN connectivity
(https://cradlepoint.com/products/mbr1200b).
Wireless routers connect with the internet via
mobile broadband service available from
carriers in the customer’s region. A wireless
router provides a WiFi access point for the
Prodigy Gateway.
2.3. Configuring the Athalon®CM Gateway
The customer must configure the WiFi Gateway to communicate with an on-site WiFi
access point. The gateway associates to a WiFi access point using a service set identifier
(SSID) broadcast by the WiFi access point. The gateway securely communicates with the
following common WiFi security types:
Open (no security code), WEP-40, WEP-104, WPA (AES & TKIP), WPA2 (AES, TKIP
& Mixed mode). Each gateway comes with a unique MAC address assigned by the factory,
which may also be used for authentication.
Upon initial power-up, the WiFi Gateway will function as a WiFi Access Point. Using a
laptop or similar device, connect to the gateway’s network SSID, which is set to its MAC
address. Once connected, browse to the Configuration page at 192.168.10.1:7000/Config.
On the Configuration page, fill in the SSID, Password, and Security Mode of the WiFi
Access Point the gateway should communicate with, and press the “Submit” button (See
Figure below). The settings will be saved in the gateway. Once configuration is complete,
press the button on the gateway enclosure to switch the gateway from Access Point mode
to Client mode. The Prodigy gateway will now communicate with the cloud based server
through the WiFi access point. If the WiFi Access Point needs to be changed in the future,
the Prodigy gateway can be placed back into its WiFi Access Point mode by pressing the
button on the gateway enclosure.
