2 INSTALLATION and TECHNICAL INFORMATION
2.1 Unpacking, Damage reports, Item List
Upon receipt, inspect the equipment for any potential shipping damage. There should be
no loose components within the enclosure or any impact marks on the walls or outside
edges of the fiberglass housing.
If any damage is detected that can be attributed to the way the package was handled,
then a claim should be filed with the shipping agent as quickly as possible.
A typical DCM-200 is supplied with the following items:
• Integral DCM-200 unit contained within a gray fiberglass enclosure.
• Lithium battery pack (normally shipped inside the enclosure).
• Manual 900333 (this document). Typically only one manual is included with each
shipment rather than with each unit. Additional manuals can be ordered
separately if desired. This document is also available in PDF file format.
Note: The items listed above may vary depending on what was requested with the
original purchase order. Refer to the shipping document or the purchase order for a
precise record when inspecting the package contents.
2.2 Additional Items Required for Installation
Several additional tools and items will be required before proceeding with the field site
installation. This list includes the following:
• Programming adapter cable as illustrated in Figure 2-1. This item can be ordered
under Metretek part number 1002-0299C-001.
• MP32 configuration software, available under part number 100160, version 3.4.8
or later.
• Computer system for configuration, with a Windows-95 or higher operating
system. A laptop computer is usually recommended for reasons of portability in
the field. It is also possible to reconfigure the device over-the-air once the unit is
in service.
• An activated SIM card to enable the GSM cellular radio module. This must be
obtained from the cellular service provider within the territory of the intended field
site. Refer to Chapter-4 for additional details regarding SIM card activation.
• Voltmeter for installation and basic troubleshooting.
