WARNING:
CUSTOMER EQUIPMENT AND DEVICES MUST BE
SUITABLE FOR THE LOCATION WHERE THEY ARE
TO BE INSTALLED.
All wiring connections except the Local communication port, telephone jack and antenna terminate
in cage-clamp screw terminals that accept stranded-wire sizes up to 14 AWG. Strip wire ends
approximately 3/16 of an inch. Inspect the stripped wire for nicked and frayed ends. Insert the
stripped wire completely in the clamp, then tighten the clamp using a small common screwdriver.
Inspect each connection, ensuring no frayed strands protrude and no insulation is in the clamp.
The following connections are accessible from outside of the enclosure:

Caution
The flow computer PCB must be configured for the back-up
battery (B1) with jumper J1-1 installed to prevent loss of
software configuration and historical data.
To replace a battery assembly, disconnect the two wires to TB1 on the internal chassis equipment
panel, insulate the positive battery assembly lead, disconnect the solar panel assembly wires from
the two-position Molex connector of the battery assembly, then remove the battery assembly from
the enclosure. Place the new battery assembly in the battery bracket, connect the wires to TB1
observing correct polarity, then plug the solar panel wiring into the two-position Molex connector
of the battery assembly.

The wiring to the flow computer unit is the same for both battery assemblies. The connection
between the battery assembly and flow computer is routed into the bottom of the unit's enclosure and
must be made using Class I Division 2 wiring methods. See Section 1.0, General Information, for
proper wiring guidelines. The positive lead is wired from TB1-5 inside the battery assembly
enclosure to power distribution terminal block TB1 position 1-3 (POS) located on the internal
chassis equipment panel inside the flow computer enclosure. The negative lead is wired from TB1-8
of the battery assembly to TB1 position 4-6 (NEG) of the power distribution terminal block in the
flow computer enclosure. Power to the flow computer is current limited with a 5-ampere PTC
installed in the battery assembly.

The Analog Inputs can be wired by the customer directly to the Main Board, or to a junction box
assembly located on the bottom of the enclosure. A single Analog Input may alternately be wired
to the optional Digital I/O Expansion Board. If wired directly to the Main Board or the Digital I/O
board, each analog input provides transmitter power (XPWR) at a nominal +9 V which power cycles
with the unit, a transmitter signal input (IN), and a transmitter power return (AGND). Refer to
Exhibit 3-1 for typical connections to the analog inputs wired directly to the Main Board. The
analog inputs are identified on the Main Board as follows:

Six Analog Input junction box assemblies are available as options for customer wiring. The junction
box assemblies (PN# 3-0485-158, 3-0485-195 or 3-0485-255) used for transducers which cannot
power cycle (typically Rosemount 3051C types) have XPWR connected to the power distribution
terminal block at TB1 position 1-3 (POS), and AGND to TB1 position 4-6 (NEG). The junction box
assemblies used for power cycling transducers (PN# 3-0485-156, 3-0485-194 or 3-0485-254) supply
XPWR at a nominal +9 V from the Main Board at TB4-3 and AGND from TB4-2. Customer wiring

Flow Automation's optional Communication Expansion board is used to provide two additional Host
ports for the AutoPILOT. Each port can be configured for either the RS-232 or RS-485 (4-wire or
2-wire mode) buss interface. The RS-232 buss can drive up to 50 feet of cable, while the RS-485
buss can contain up to 32 devices (one master with up to 31 slaves), and drive up to 4000 feet of
cable. The Comm Expansion board is installed in the AutoPILOT enclosure mounted over the Main
Board behind the cover plate located on the door of the enclosure, and may not be used with the DIV
1 Comm Expansion Board option. The AutoPILOT Comm Expansion board connector P1 connects
to P5 of the AutoPILOT Main Board, while the connections to the Comm Expansion ports are made
at TB1 for Channel 4, and TB2 for Channel 5. Refer to Section 1.0, General Information, for wiring
guidelines. The Comm Expansion board is powered through the Main Board, and will power cycle
with the flow computer.
WARNING:
ENSURE THE AREA IS NON-HAZARDOUS BEFORE
CONNECTING OR DISCONNECTING THE
COMMUNICATION EXPANSION BOARD.
Each port must be configured for the mode of operation desired. In addition to the jumper positions
listed below, the RS-485 modes also require termination jumper configuration at J1 and J2 or J3 and
J4 which depend on the position of the port on the buss, and may require Transmit mode changes
at J12 or J9 for master versus slave configuration in the 4-Wire mode. The following jumper
selections are suggested for setting the mode of each channel:
PORT MODE
RS-232

To connect the master port to the slave port(s) on the RS-485 buss, swap signals TX and RX, while
maintaining the correct polarity for each pair of signals. Each port must be configured with
termination jumper settings at J1 and J2 or J3 and J4. Generally, the ports at each end of the buss
are DC terminated on all lines (JX-B position), while the remaining ports on the buss are not
terminated (jumpers removed) to minimize power consumption and loading of the buss. AC
termination (JX-A position) may be used in special cases where DC termination produces excessive
buss loading. Typically, Transmit mode on the master port is set at J12B or J9B to "ON" mode,
while the slave port(s) are set at J12A or J9A to "AUTO" mode.
For many applications, the RS-485 port can be used in a two-wire configuration by installing
jumpers J5A and J5B, or J6A and J6B, with the following RS-485 buss connections to each port:

When the two-wire configuration is used, terminate the buss on the port at jumper J1 or J3 as
explained above under 4-Wire mode, and remove the jumper at J2A or B, or J4A or B. Transmit
mode is typically set to "AUTO" at J12A or J9A for all ports using the two-wire configuration.

for Channel 5, which can be used as a power cycle status input, or high impedance pull-up. For
asynchronous mode jumpers J1 and J2 are not installed. Some software versions also support
synchronous RS-232 operation. To configure Channel 4 for synchronous use, an external clock
must be supplied at TB1-6 (RXCA) referenced to GND, and jumper J1 must be installed. To
configure Channel 5 for synchronous use, an external clock must be supplied at TB2-6 (RXCB)
referenced to GND, and jumper J2 must be installed.

Each RS-232/RS-485 board typically provides four differential signals for the RS-485 buss interface
as follows:
SIGNAL
CONNECTION
RX+
RXTX+
TXDCD+
DCDRTS+
RTS-
TB2-1
TB2-2
TB2-3
TB2-4
TB2-5
TB2-6
TB2-7
TB2-8
To connect the master board to the slave board(s) on the RS-485 buss, swap signals TX and RX, and
signals DCD and RTS, while maintaining the correct polarity for each pair of signals.
Each board must be configured with termination jumper settings at J8 through J11. Generally, the
boards at each end of the buss are DC terminated on all lines (JX-B position), while the remaining
boards on the buss are not terminated (jumpers removed) to minimize power consumption and
loading of the buss. AC termination (JX-A position) may be used in special cases where DC
termination produces excessive buss loading. Transmit Enable mode is set at J1, with the time delay
in milliseconds set at J2 if "AUTO DELAY" mode is selected at J1-C. Typically, the master board
is set at J1-A in "ON" mode, while the slave board(s) are set at J1-B in "AUTO" mode. For
applications when the converter board is to power cycle with the flow computer, install jumper J3,
and connect TB1-3 on the converter board to +5 (SBAT) on the AutoPILOT Main board at TB2-9.
Jumper J4 can be installed to provide indicator lights for troubleshooting purposes, but should be
removed during normal operation to conserve power.
For many applications, the RS-232/RS-485 board can be used in a two-wire configuration by
installing jumpers J5 through J7, with the following RS-485 buss connections on each board:
SIGNAL
CONNECTION
RX/TX +
RX/TX -
TB2-1 or 3
TB2-2 or 4
When the two-wire configuration is used, terminate the buss on the converter board, if needed, at
jumper J8 as explained above, and remove the jumper at J9. Transmit Enable mode is typically set
to "AUTO" at J1-B for the two-wire configuration.

The RS-232 cable connects the flow computer's Host Port or other RS-232 device to the phone. The
antenna coax connects to the telephone's antenna connector and an N-type bulkhead jack or optional
coaxial protector mounted on the side of the enclosure. Power is supplied to the phone through the
DC-power cable connected to the power distribution terminal block or the Power Output of the
optional Radio Power Control Board. The RS-232 cable, coax, and DC-power cable are installed
with the phone in the flow computer enclosure.

The transceiver is primarily a data transfer device; however, if the optional handset is connected, the
unit can also provide standard cellular telephone voice communications. It is not intended for the
handset to be permanently installed with the transceiver, but to provide temporary, remote
communications during service/calibration operations.

There are two types of RTD probes which may be used with the AutoPILOT flow computer or
AutoMITTER. One has a composite or metal body with individual wires which connect inside a
condulet box to the cabling from the flow computer or AutoMITTER. A second type has a metal
probe body, and an integral flexible metal sheath covering the wires to the flow computer or
AutoMITTER enclosure.

6. Re-install the small plastic sleeve over the transmitter wiring and insert at the top of the
temperature probe.
For the Model 465A Temperature Transmitter, insert the stripped end of the wires completely
in the clamps of the four position terminal block, then tighten the clamps using a small
screwdriver as follows:
& White conductor - Terminal Position #1
& White conductor - Terminal Position #2
& Yellow conductor - Terminal Position #3
Plug the terminal block into the RTD transmitter PCA. Using a dab of electrical RTV, secure
the probe wiring to the inside edge of the condulet.
Inspect each connection, ensuring no frayed strands protrude and no insulation is in the clamps.

#2 Watchdog Enable: When a jumper is installed in this position, the AutoPILOT's Watchdog
Circuitry is Enabled. Should be installed in all units.
#3 Constant Power/Sleep-Cycle: When a jumper is installed in this position, the circuitry is
constantly powered and the LCD display is constantly enabled. When the jumper is removed,
the AutoPILOT operates in the sleep-cycle mode. During the sleep-cycle mode, power is
removed from most of the AutoPILOT circuitry (except the system RAM and real-time clock,
maintaining historical and configuration data) for a software configurable duration of one to five
seconds. At the end of the sleep cycle, power is returned and the AutoPILOT collects new raw
input data, performs the flow calculations and stores the new data in system memory, then
returns to the sleep cycle. To preserve power, the constant power option is not recommended for
normal operation of the AutoPILOT with small power sources, including the 6-Vdc, 12 AH
rechargeable battery.
#4 No connection, used to store spare jumper.
#5 No connection, used to store spare jumper.
