4.2 Installation and Operation
To install the RESI-MON node in the RESI-MON meter:
1. Connect the RESI-MON Meter Board to the Pulse Interface Connector on
the RESI-MON Node.
2. Connect the DC power connector on the RESI-MON node to 5V DC power
and ground.
3. Verify that the power polarity is correct before applying power to the device.
As soon as the meter is installed and powered on, the RESI-MON node will

4.2.1 What the Blinking Lights Mean
4.2.1.1 The Green LED
During the initial boot up the green LED may blink unevenly. However after 10
seconds the green LED should begin blinking at a steady rate of 1/2 second on
and 1/2 second off. This is considered the node’s “heartbeat.” If the green light
fails to come on, is a solid green, or flashes at any other rate, the node has
malfunctioned and the node must be replaced.
4.2.1.2 The Red LED
During the initial boot up the red LED may blink unevenly. During system
operation the red LED will be a solid red whenever it is communicating with any
other Eka node. If the red light flashes continuously, the node has malfunctioned
and the node must be replaced.
