ECN 7000 Series Hardware Guide 3
The cover of the ECN 7650 is secured with one-way screws, which virtually
eliminates unauthorized access. When the ECN 7650 is pad mounted, you secure
the power and network connections inside a metal housing with a padlock. The
ECN 7650 is also rugged and sturdy enough to allow a person (for example, a
utility working gaffing a utility pole) to step on it.
The ECN 7650 is designed for quick and secure installation using a rapid-mount
bracket on either a utility pole or a pad-mounted distribution transformer.
Because the ECN 7650 is small enough and light enough to hand carry,
installation is simple and easy.
ECN Hardware Architecture
The ECN 7650 is a small, lightweight box that contains all of the hardware to
support the COS software platform and third-party applications. The hardware
architecture includes the following elements:
• Main board
• Measurement processor and internal sensors
• Real-time clock
• System cards
• Expansion cards
• Optional backup battery
These hardware elements are housed in a rigid plastic enclosure that provides
protection for the electronics. Figure 1 on page 4 shows a high-level view of the
ECN architecture.
