SC414 CELLULAR DIALER INSTALLATION
NOTE: This product should only be installed by qualified personnel.
2.1 Overview
The SC414 Cellular Dialer is specifically designed
float gauges, eliminating the need for expensive intrinsic safety barriers and wiring to the tank.
SC414 periodically communicates with the GASLOG Server via a cellular network, transferring all the
recorded tank level and gas usage data to the Server.
2.2 Location
The location of the Dialer is a prime consideration.
Not close to pipes, metalwork or other solid obstacles (other than the body of the tank upon which it is
mounted).
As high off the ground
as possible.
The location should minimise the chance of the Dialer being subject to physical shock or vibration.
NOTE:
The cellular network signal strength is often improved by mounting the Dialer higher
or further away from metal objects.
2.3 Install Sender(s)
The Dialer comes with a mounting bracket attached to ease
