Step 1. Hardware Configuration (Continued)
6. Install a ground wire between the Enclosure/Chassis and a known good Earth Ground.
ControlWave Express Enclosures are not provided with a Ground Lug. A ground wire
(#4 AWG Max. wire size) must be run between the Enclosure/Chassis via one or more
mounting screws (see Figure C-1) and a known good Earth Ground. The following
considerations are provided for the installation of ControlWave Express system grounds
(see S1400CW):
• Earth Ground wire size should be #4 AWG. It is recommended that stranded copper
wire is used and that the length should be as short as possible.
• This ground wire should be clamped or brazed to the Ground Bed Conductor (that is
typically a stranded copper AWG 0000 cable installed vertically or horizontally).
• The wire end that is to be fastened to the ControlWave Express should be crimped to
a Terminal Ring/Lug and soldered. Note: Use a high wattage Soldering Iron.
• The ground wire should be run such that any routing bend in the cable has a
minimum radius of 12-inches below ground and 8-inches above ground.
7. If required, install the RTD Probe (see Section 2.3.5).
8. Connect DC Power wiring to the ControlWave Express CPU/System Controller Board
(see Sections 2.3.7.1 & 2.3.7.2).
CPU/System Controller Board Connector TB1 power wiring assignments are provided
as follows:
TB1-1 = Solar Power In+
TB1-2 = GND Chassis Ground – CHASSIS - (Solar Power − Return)
TB1-3 = (+VIN) (+5.4Vdc to +16V dc for 6V bulk) (+11.4Vdc to +16.0Vdc for 12V bulk)
(+21.8Vdc to +28.0Vdc for 24V bulk)
TB1-4 = GND Chassis Ground – CHASSIS
TB1-5 = Aux. Power Out + (for external radio/modem)
TB1-6 = GND Chassis Ground – CHASSIS - (for radio/modem)
9. Apply power to the ControlWave Express. Continue with Steps 2 through 7 below (and
Section 2.4.1) and the ControlWave Express will be ready for on line operation.
Step 2. Software Installation on the PC Workstation
ControlWave Designer software must be installed on the PC if the ControlWave Express is
being utilized for an application, other than the standard one. This is accomplished by
installing the ControlWave Designer Package from the Open BSI CD ROM.
You must install the Open BSI Network Edition. For information on minimum system
requirements and more details on the installation, see the installation procedure in
Chapter 2 of the Open BSI Utilities Manual (document # D5081).
If you have an older version of ControlWave Designer already installed:
Beginning with ControlWave Designer Version 3.3, the copy protection key (dongle) is NOT
required. Prior to installing ControlWave Designer 3.3 or newer, you MUST remove the
hardware dongle from the parallel port of your PC workstation. Otherwise, when you
