Installation Preparation

Before you get started make sure you have the following:

• Eastron SDM630 AC Meter

• The power source of +12V DC to power the Galooli RTU

• Power cables for the Galooli gateway - two cables with a thickness of 0.5mm. The length of the cables is determined by the distance between the power source and the Galooli gateway

• RS485 To USB Converter & two 0.5mm thick communication cables. The length of the cables is determined by the distance between the RS485 to the USB converter and the computer

• Communication cables for the Eastron SDM630 AC Meter inputs and outputs. Cables with a thickness of 0.5mm. The length of the cables is determined by the distance between the sensors and the surrounding environment

• Electronic tools – screwdriver, multimeter, & f-crimp tool

 Additional information:

• The device is designed to be installed on a din rail

• Make sure that you have sufficient space for its mounting

• We recommend mounting the AC meter next to phase breakers - this act can simplify the process of disconnecting the cables from the breakers, passing the load cables through the meter, and then connecting them back to the breakers
