Detailed wiring instructions can be found in section 3. The purpose of this section is to reinforce critical safety information.
Please note the following important wiring information:
| No. | Safe? | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Yes | Connection of supply to "circuit 1" input using "Hi Z" supply output |
| 2 | Yes | Correct fitment of resistive cables. Connection to circuit bus-bar is via an independent fuse. |
| 3 | Yes | Correct fitment of resistive cables. No independent fuse is required for safe operation |
| 4 | No | No resistive cable fitted. Circuit vulnerable to short-circuit faults. |
| 5 | No | Incorrect fitment of resistive cable. Circuit vulnerable to through-crimp failure. |
| No. | Safe? | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | No | Do not "common" circuits. N50(E) and N50(I) isolation compromised. |
| 2 | No | Ensure correct connector position alignment. N120 and B24 isolation compromised. |
Not following this advice risks:
- Circumvention if the inter-isolation of monitored circuits.
- Short circuit of individual monitored circuits.
Electric shock.
The Functional Earth and Loop Earth must be connected to suitable earthing points using separate wires.
- It is preferable to use independent earthing points for loop earth and functional earth connections.
- It is tolerable to use a common earthing point if provision of a secondary earthing point is prohibitive.
- It is not acceptable to simply strap Functional Earth to Loop Earth.
An ineffective Earth Loop circuit is unable to verify correct connection of the SA380-IT, hence insulation readings may be incorrect.
Only one insulation monitoring device may be used on a single interconnected circuit. Installation of additional monitoring devices will cause each device to "fight" the other, resulting in incorrect readings on both devices.
Check that the factory set earth loop and insulation resistance alarm levels are correct for your application. (See section 4.4.10)
Nominal voltage is used to drive important safety features of the SA380-IT
It is important that this is set correctly.
The Ethernet port is sensitive to electrical surges:
- Additional surge protection must be fitted if the port is to be used continuously for data transmission using:
- A dedicated Ethernet surge protection device, or
- Use of screened Ethernet cable
- Surge protection is not required for temporary configuration and diagnostics activities.
Power Supply
The SA380-IT can be purchased with two alternate power supply options:
- 110 V AC
- 12 V DC
The device power supply voltage is clearly indicated on the rear of the device.
Connection of a 110 V AC supply to 12 V DC units will render the device inoperable!
Limitations of use in the United Kingdom
The following restrictions upon use must be observed when the SA380-IT is deployed on UK rail infrastructure:
Never attempt to power the SA380-IT from a DC power source
Never attempt to wire any conductors from differing monitored circuits into the same input channel.
Users in other countries may disregard these warnings.
No residual hazards have been identified if the above advice is not followed, but these practices are against UK railway policy.
Ensure that you have exhausted all fault finding tasks prior to manually resetting any device interlock (see section 5.2 and section 4.4.5).
It is wise to conduct a manual insulation test on monitored circuits prior to, and after installation. This will help verify correct installation of the measurement circuit wiring during commissioning.
A manual continuity test between Functional Earth and Loop Earth connections after installation will help verify correct installation of the earth-loop circuit wiring during commissioning.
When conducting manual insulation testing on monitored circuits after commissioning, the SA380-IT must be either:
- Prevented from attempting measurement (see section 4.4.5).
- Physically disconnected from the monitored circuit.
- Powered-down.
Failure to do so will result in incorrect readings.
3) Installation
3.1) Parts and Tools Required
Ensure you have the following parts and tools to hand prior to installation. Tools are not supplied.
Please note that the cable terminations to the "live" system, and cable markers are not supplied. This is because of the wide variety of methods of termination to power supply busbars encountered. Please ensure you have an adequate supply of appropriate terminations and a suitable master fuse prior to installation.

3.3) Typical Circuit
Use the typical circuit below to aid in the production of reference designs.
Please ensure that you do however read and observe the complete installation instructions.
3.4) Pre-Installation
The following precautions must be taken during storage and transportation:
- Protection from prolonged rainfall.
- Protection from immersion in water.
- Ensure that the storage temperature is not exceeded.
- Protection against crushing
Damaged enclosures can expose hazardous voltages and nullifies the SA380-IT Ingress-Protection.
Prolonged exposure to, or immersion in water exceeds the SA380-IT Ingress-Protection rating. Under such conditions dielectric withstand voltages cannot be guaranteed.
Never install or energise an SA380-IT that appears to be either physically damaged or suffering from water ingress.
It is wise to conduct a manual insulation test on monitored circuits both prior to, and after installation, but before energising the SA380-IT. This will help verify correct installation of the measurement circuit wiring.
A manual continuity test between Functional Earth and Loop Earth connections after installation, but before energising SA380-IT will help verify correct installation of the earth-loop circuit wiring.

- All wire ends must be correctly terminated with a ferrule crimp of the appropriate size.
- The ferrules must be compressed using a square-end ferrule crimping tool.
Affix cable marker beads if required.
Strip 12 mm of outer insulation from the end of the cable
Select the correct crimp:
- 0.75 mm2 cable: WEIDMULLER H0,75/16 W SV INSULATED FERULE. P/N: 9025860000
- 1.5 mm2 cable: WEIDMULLER H1,5/10 UNINSULATED FERULE. P/N: 0186500000
Fit the crimp over the wire end, ensuring the crimps fit flush against the cable insulation.
Compress the crimp using a square-ended ferrule crimping tool
Inspect the crimp
- No loose strands
- No excessive copper exposed at either crimp end.
- Sufficient exposed wire held firm by the crimp
- An even square profile.
- Ferrule is secure
To insert a wire into the spring-cage connector
- Simply press the ferrule fully-home into the spring cage plug
- Pull at the wire, if secure the wire will not move.
- No exposed metal should be visible if wire correctly crimped and pushed fully-home into the connector.
To remove a wire from the spring-cage connector
- Press the blade of an insulated flat-bladed screwdriver into the release latch
- Withdraw to wire

Power Supply
The SA380-IT can be purchased with two alternate power supply options:
- 110 V AC
- 12 V DC
The device power supply voltage is clearly indicated on the rear of the device.
Connection of a 110 V AC supply to 12 V DC units will render the device inoperable!
Limitations of use in the United Kingdom
The following restrictions upon use must be observed when the SA380-IT is deployed on UK rail infrastructure:
Never attempt to power the SA380-IT from a DC power source
Users in other countries may disregard these warnings.
No residual hazards have been identified if the above advice is not followed, but these practices are against UK railway policy.
"Live end" crimp types and fuse-holder sizes vary, therefore no specific crimps or fuses are recommended.
Wire the "+" and "-" supply terminals as shown:
Do not use resistive cables
Supply Voltage Ranges:
Labelled Voltage | Min. V | Max. V |
|---|---|---|
| 110 V AC | 40 AC/DC | 160 AC/DC |
| 12 V DC | 10 DC | 16 DC |
Use appropriate cable markers, crimps & crimp tools for the live terminations.
Use appropriate tools to to affix the live cables their terminations.
The "positive" leg of the supply circuit must be fitted with a type "T2A" (2 Amp Slow-Blow fuse) of the appropriate size.
It is recommended to not apply power to the device until all installation steps are complete.

"Earth bus-bar" crimp types will vary, therefore no specific crimps are recommended.
The Functional Earth and Loop Earth must be connected to suitable earthing points using separate wires.
- It is preferable to use independent earthing points for loop earth and functional earth connections.
- It is tolerable to use a common earthing point if provision of a secondary earthing point is prohibitive.
- It is not acceptable to simply strap Functional Earth to Loop Earth.
An ineffective Earth Loop circuit is unable to verify correct connection of the SA380-IT, hence insulation readings may be incorrect.
Wire the FE and LOOP EARTH in one of the two ways shown below:
Use green / yellow sleeved cable to differentiate earth connections from monitored circuit and power connections
Use appropriate cable markers, crimps & crimp tools for the earth bus-bar terminations.
Use appropriate tools to to affix the earth cables to bus-bar terminals.
A manual continuity test between Functional Earth and Loop Earth connections after installation, but be aware that a standard digital multimeter may not obtain a true reading if stray voltages are present. If in doubt, use a earth-test device designed specifically for this purpose.
This measurement should therefore be considered a "sanity check" of the wiring, not the absolute resistance of the earth loop path.
- Earth loop readings <= 40 Ω between FE and Loop Earth connections is considered acceptable.
- Earth loop readings <= 500 Ω maybe considered tolerable by you organisation, but should be investigated,

"Live end" crimp types and fuse-holder sizes vary, therefore no specific crimps or fuses are recommended.
If fuses are fitted to monitored circuits, these should be of smallest practical rating.
The maximum permissible voltage of montoried circuits is 160 V DC or 160 V AC RMS
Only one insulation monitoring device may be used on a single interconnected circuit. Installation of additional monitoring devices will cause each device to "fight" the other, resulting in incorrect readings on both devices.
Ensure that any existing earth-leakage devices connected to monitored circuits have been disabled.
There are two means of connecting monitored circuits to the SA380-IT. Via resistive cables, or via the HiZ outputs:
Resistive Cables
The SA380-IT device is typically supplied with resistive cables, or they can be purchased separately. The resistive cable features:
- a 47 kΩ resistor fitted in-line
- a 300 mm flying-lead to be terminated on the monitored circuit bus-bar.
- an in-line through-crimp to allow extension of the resistive cable module with additional cable.
The purpose of the resistive cables are to limit current flow between monitored circuits in the event that any SA380-IT cabling inadvertently comes into contact with any other safety critical or high reliability circuits.
| No | Notes |
|---|---|
| 1 | Existing Earth Fault has compromised negative leg isolation |
| 2 | B50 shorts to B120 at rear of SA380-IT. |
| 3 | B120 shorts to N120 at rear of SA380-IT. |
| System remains safe due to protective resistance afforded by the connection cables | |
The purpose of the through crimp is to permit simple extension of cable runs from the SA380-IT to monitored circuits:
Failure of the through-crimp is mitigated by ensuring the in-line resistor is fitted facing the monitored circuit bus-bar connection.
| No. | Notes |
|---|---|
| 1 | Through Crimp Failure results in fault connections to other live circuits or earth. Supply remains protected by in-line resistor SA380-IT has internal >90 kΩ protective resistance |
| 2 | Through Crimp Failure results in fault connections to other live circuits or earth. Unsafe failure due to orientation of protective resistor. |
HiZ Outputs
It is common to perform monitored circuit functions on the same circuit that is used to power the SA380-IT device.
To simplify wiring it is possible to "jumper" across the power supply into "Channel 1" of the monitored circuits. This is achieved by the "HI Z" outputs.
The "HI Z" outputs present the power supply voltage as an output, albeit with a 47 kΩ resistor in each circuit leg. E.g.
BX HI Z is BX Supply with 47 kΩ in series.
NX HI Z is NX Supply with 47 kΩ in series.
This means that resistive cables are not required to jumper the HI Z outputs across to channel 1 as shown in the diagram below. The arrangement remains safe in the event of cable fault.
| No. | Notes |
|---|---|
| 1 | Short Circuit of the supply protected by mandatory provision of a supply circuit fuse. |
| 2 | Short Circuit of "HiZ" leads protected by internal 47 kΩ resistors |
Please note the following important general wiring information:
| No. | Safe? |
|---|---|
| 1 | Yes |
| Connection of supply to "circuit 1" input using "Hi Z" supply output | |
| 2 | Yes |
| Correct fitment of resistive cables. Connection to circuit bus-bar is via an independent fuse. | |
| 3 | Yes |
Correct fitment of resistive cables No independent fuse is required for safe operation | |
| 4 | No |
| No resistive cable fitted. Circuit vulnerable to short-circuit faults. | |
| 5 | No |
| Incorrect fitment of resistive cable. Circuit vulnerable to through-crimp failure. | |
| No. | Safe? |
|---|---|
| 1 | No |
Do not "common" circuits. N50(E) and N50(I) isolation compromised | |
| 2 | No |
Ensure correct connector position alignment. N120 and B24 isolation compromised | |
Not following this advice risks:
- Circumvention if the inter-isolation of monitored circuits.
- Short circuit of individual monitored circuits.
Electric shock.
Resistive Cables
Mark, strip and crimp the "live" end of the resistive cable module with an appropriate markers and crimps for the monitored circuits bus-bar connection.
It is permissible to shorten the "live" end of the resistive module cable if it aids installation.
- Starting at the SA380-IT, run correctly terminated and marked 0.75 mm2 single core cable from the SA380-IT rear connector to the monitored circuits connection point.
- Strip 12 mm of insulation from the end of the single core cable at the "connection point" end.
- Take a resistive cable module and splice the ordinary single core cable to the red PIDG through-crimp using the correct crimping tool.
- Check the crimped connection:
- No loose strands
- No copper exposed at either crimp end.
- Sufficient exposed wire held firm by the crimp
- An even profile.
- crimp is secure
- Preferred: Make terminations to bus-bars using a fused connection if appropriate. Fuses should be rated as low as possible. The SA380-IT should never draw >2 mA from the supply under any circumstance.
- Acceptable: If space is at a premium in existing installations, there is no safety risk in installing monitored circuit connections direct to bus-bars, circumventing a fused connection.
HiZ Outputs
- Prepare two correctly terminated and marked 0.75 mm2 single core cables 50 mm each in length
- Insert the 50 mm cables between input channel 1 and HiZ outputs.
3.10) GSM Connection
In railway settings the antenna must be fitted to the outside of the equipment enclosure (typically a location case or equipment room)
Affix the antenna head to the exterior of the equipment housing using the self-adhesive backing and back-nut.
This may require drilling a 12 mm hole.
- Affix the antenna tail cable using the SMA screw-fit connector to the rear of the logger.
- The SMA connector should be tightened by hand to avoid over-tightening
- Do not over tighten the connection. Optimum tightening torque is 1.0 Nm-1
Do not attempt to shorten the cable without appropriate specialist tools.
Do not force the antenna cable around tight bends.
See the commissioning section for information on verifying GSM signal strength.

For non-panel mount scenarios, additional brackets may be required. These are not supplied with the SA380-IT.
Antenna placement tips
The radiation pattern of the supplied antenna is a torus (doughnut) about the horizontal plane.
There is zero reception directly above or below the antenna, there is maximal and even reception around the horizontal plane.
The SA380-IT device is typically shipped with factory fitted SIM and GSM antenna.
Please liaise with MPEC to specify your desired SIM package
3.11) Ethernet Connection

The Ethernet port is sensitive to electrical surges:
Additional surge protection must be fitted if the port is to be used continuously for data transmission using:
- A dedicated Ethernet surge protection device, or
- Use of screened Ethernet cable
- Surge protection is not required for temporary configuration and diagnostics activities.
The Ethernet port accepts standard Ethernet cable via an RJ45 connector.
The Ethernet port can be used as a monitoring port with no additional surge protection required.
- If connecting direct to a computer, simply use an Ethernet patch cable to connect devices point to point.
- If using the Ethernet port as a permanent data connection then use either a screened Ethernet cable, or standard cable with surge arrestor to connect to a nearby modem or Ethernet switch/router.
Successful connection can be verified by checking that the LAN port Link indication is lit solid, and the the activity indicator is blinking.
See the commissioning section for information on verifying Ethernet Connectivity.
See the operation section for detailed IP address settings information.
3.12) Wiring of Auxiliary Inputs
Crimp connections to external devices and circuits will vary, therefore no specific crimps are recommended.
Volt-Free-Contact
The maximum terminal voltage of the volt-free-contact output must not exceed 160 V RMS AC/DC.
Auxiliary Power
The maximum load of the auxiliary power supply output must not exceed 1 Watt.
RS485 Serial Data
RS485 functionality is not presently supported.
For wiring runs over 10 meters consider using screened cable as interference may be experienced.
For wiring runs over 30 meters, 100 Ω line-termination resistors should be fitted across the "A,B" terminations at both extremities of the data link.

Volt-Free-Contact Output (VFC)
The VFC is used to give a local indication of hardware or earth fault.
The VFC acts as a simple switch, the polarity of connection is irrelevant.
The maximum voltage that can be applied across the VFC is 160 V RMS AC/DC
The VFC is to be wired into an alarm circuit, or VFC input of a data logging device as follows:
It is recommended to use correctly terminated 0.75 mm2 stranded single core cable for this connection.
Auxiliary Supply
A 5 V DC, 1 W regulated power supply is made available at the rear of the unit to power auxiliary sensors.
The output is short-circuit and overload protected.
Connect:
- 5 V terminal to the positive power terminal of the auxiliary equipment.
- 0 V terminal to the negative power terminal of the auxiliary equipment.
It is recommended to use correctly terminated 0.75 mm2 stranded single core cable for this connection.
RS485 Serial Data
The RS485 link is provided to allow data connection to auxiliary sensors and data logging equipment.
It is recommended to use correctly terminated 0.50 mm2 twisted pair cable for this connection.
Wire "A" to "A" and "B" to "B" on all devices
RS485 supports a multi-drop bus architecture, numerous devices can share the same RS485 bus.
4) Commissioning
4.1) Energise Device
- Visually inspect all wiring for sound installation.
- Measure voltages of the supply and monitored circuits and confirm they are within expected specification.
This will help confirm the the correct circuits are wired into the intended input channels, and will help verify correct set-up during subsequent commissioning steps.
- Connect the main supply fuse, applying power to the SA380-IT.
- Check SA380-IT front panel shows:
- Constant POWER indication
- Pulsating RUN indication
- A blinking Bluetooth indication
- Where fitted, connect fuses and/or links of monitored circuits.
4.2) Connect to Device
- Wireless configuration and diagnostics is facilitated by the "Mpec Connect" mobile app.
- Mpec Connect is presently compatible with iPhone and iPad (Running iOS 13+)
- Download and install the app by clicking on the icon below:
- Permit the App to use bluetooth
- The app will then attempt to pair with a nearby SA380-IT device
- The SA380-IT has bluetooth disabled by default. It can be enabled by:
- Restarting the device
- Activating the module using the touch-sensitive front-panel
- The bluetooth indicator will blink if the device is available for pairing.
- If the App discovers only one SA380-IT, pairing will take place automatically.
- If the App discovers multiple devices, the user will need to select the appropriate device to pair to.

- Authentication details need only be provided once per connection session.
- Username and password details may be obtained from:
- Mpec technology by emailing: support@mpec.co.uk
- Project support staff from within your organisation.
4.3) Check for Latest Firmware
Mpec always recommend that you check for the latest firmware at commissioning time.
New firmware will always offer enhanced performance, bug-fixes and security patches versus older firmware.
UK - Network Rail RADAR users
The following applies if you are using your SA380-IT
- In the UK, and work for or on behalf of Network Rail.
- Your device is configured for deployment on the Network Rail RADAR (Formerly Intelligent Infrastructure) system.
In this instance your SA380-IT will attempt to perform an automatic firmware update from RADAR servers using the FTP protocol.
This update can take up to 30 minutes, during which time, you will not be able to configure and therefore commission the SA380-IT.
If an FTP based upgrade attempt is underway, you will be able to determine so using the Device Status page:
FTP firmware upgrade can be overridden by performing a local firmware upgrade to the latest approved firmware by following the steps outlined below.
Navigate to Utilities→Firmware Upgrade
Make a mental note of your current firmware version
Click the Get Latest Firmware link to open a page in a new window that displays the latest recommended firmware packages for the SA380-IT
- Centrix users should use Centrix Approved firmware
- Network Rail RADAR users should use NR II Approved firmware
If the latest approved firmware is in advance of your installed version, then the update should be downloaded and installed.
To commence firmware upload, return the Firmware Upgrade screen and choose Select Firmware Package.
To pick firmware files on iPhone/iPad
To pick firmware files in a Web Browser
Once satisfied with the current version and package version, select Upload Firmware to perform the upgrade.
The device will restart once upgrade is complete.
4.4) Check Earth Loop Reading
Navigate to Live Measurements:
Check that the EARTH LOOP reading is in line with that measured during installation.
The SA380-IT will take resistance-to-earth readings of monitored circuits with an earth-loop resistance as high as 1,000 Ω given the default configuration of the device, however at commissioning:
- Earth loop readings <= 40 Ω between FE and Loop Earth connections is considered acceptable.
- Earth loop readings <= 500 Ω maybe considered tolerable by you organisation, but should be investigated,
4.5) Configure Monitored Circuits
The Auto-detect feature of the SA380-IT is designed to speed up commissioning of the SA380-IT by detecting the nominal circuit voltage and type (AC or DC) of connected circuits.
- To run auto-detect. Navigate to Settings and select Auto-Detect.
- You will have no safety interlocks engaged on a new device with an operable earth-loop.
The SA380-IT will automatically detect which circuits are in use and assign these circuits a "common" railway nominal voltage:
Once completed, remember to Write Changes, to save the configuration.
Although autodetect will be enough to commission a SA380-IT in most scenarios, you may wish to change some of the circuit settings in order to:
- Make the Circuit simple to identify, both on-site, and in any Enterprise Asset Management system.
- Adjust the nominal circuit voltage if the autoset levels are inappropriate.
Individual circuit settings are accessible from the Settings page:
Rename circuits as appropriate:
You may wish to change the nominal voltage of the circuit.
Nominal voltage is used to drive important safety features of the SA380-IT
It is important that this is set correctly.
Nominal voltage may be set incorrectly due to:
- The voltage being uncommon, hence autodetect failed to correctly identify the target voltage.
- The circuit voltage is high. This can commonly be found in railway circuits with long cable runs and heavy loads.
Enter a new nominal voltage that aligns with typical measured voltage of the circuit in question:
Remember to save any changes:
Navigate to Live Measurements:
Check the following:
| 1 | Circuit is named correctly |
| 2 | SA380-IT measured voltage matches manual measured voltage |
| 3 | Nominal circuit voltage correct |
| 4 | SA380-IT resistance-to-earth readings match manual readings taken prior to installation. |
Refer to the troubleshooting guide in the event of any issue.
4.6) Check for Server Connection
The SA380-IT should be preconfigured to connect to your Enterprise Asset Management System. (EAMS)

| 17 | AC Settings | Opens a menu that governs advanced setting regarding AC circuit data acquisition. | ||||||
| 18 | DC Settings | Opens a menu that governs advanced setting regarding DC circuit data acquisition. | ||||||
| 19 | Earth Loop Settings | Opens a menu that governs advanced setting regarding Earth Loop data acquisition. | ||||||
| 20 | Voltage Acquire-on-Change (%) | Governs the sensistivity of voltage data acquisition on all circuits. A new sample will be acquired whenever the voltage on a given circuit is observed to have changed by more than n% of it's previous reading. At low circuit voltages, acquisition is limited to changes no smaller than 0.1 V to prevent high data volumes. | ||||||
| 21 | Global Alert Hysteresis | Governs a hysteresis window for Earth-Loop out-of-tolerance state. For instance, if the earth loop out-of-tolerance level is set to 1,000 Ω and hysteresis is to set to 10%, then an out-of-tolerance earth loop reading must return to 900 Ω or less before the alert condition may clear. Alert clearance is sill subject to the alarm reset conditions also being satisfied. Network Rail MIMOSA mode only Governs a hysteresis window for DC Offset on AC Circuit Threshold. For instance, if DC Offset on AC Circuit Threshold is set to 11% and hysteresis is to set to 10%, then the level of DC offset on an AC circuit must return to 9.9% of the test-pulse signal level, or less before the alert condition may clear. Alert clearance is sill subject to the alarm reset conditions also being satisfied. | ||||||
| 22 | Relay Alarm Dwell Time (Sec.) | Governs the minimum operation time of the volt-free contact output. A minimum operation time is specified to prevent:
| ||||||
| 23 | Unstable Measurement Alert Threshold (%) | Network Rail MIMOSA mode only The SA380-IT tracks the percentage of failed measurements over a given reporting period on each circuit using Mpec's propriatary transient detection technology. If the percentage of failed measurements in a reporting period exceeds this thresold, then the UNSTABLE MEASUREMENT status-bit is set for the effected circuit and sent to the server. | ||||||
| 24 | Alarm Reset Delay | Governs the recovery process for non-critical device interlocks (alarm conditions) Measurement of input circuits will recommence under the following circumstance:
See Principals of Operation for a full discription of non-critical device interlocks | ||||||
| 25 | Fast Scan (Sec. per Circuit) | This setting is obsolete and scheduled for removal. The setting does not govern anything. | ||||||
| 26 | Medium Scan (Sec. per Circuit) | Network Rail MIMOSA mode only If measurement time of an individual circuit exceeds the medium scan setting, the Long Scan Mode status bit is set for the effected circuit and sent to the server. | ||||||
| 27 | Slow Scan (Sec. per Circuit) | Network Rail MIMOSA mode only If measurement time of an individual circuit exceeds the long scan setting, the Time Out status bit is set for the effected circuit and sent to the server. | ||||||
| 28 | Mimimum Reporting Period (Mins.) | Governs:
| ||||||
| 29 | Self-Test Interval (secs.) | The number of seconds between self-test cycles. Sets the maxium period a fault can exist prior to detection. Increased frequency has a marginal impact on device responsiveness. | ||||||
| 30 | Calibration Interval (secs.) | The number of seconds between calibration cycles. Increased frequency has a marginal impact on device responsiveness. Reduced frequency has a marginal impact on accuracy. | ||||||
| 31 | MIMOSA Buffer Size | Network Rail MIMOSA mode only Controls how many samples to buffer before constructing a MIMOSA message. Waiting for messages to buffer increases coms efficiency, but incurs a delay in sending data to the server. Buffer size controls how efficiently the data packets can be assembled. It is recomended to not exceed a setting of 20 samples, and this is the maximum number of samples that the SA380-IT can combine into a single MIMOSA message. | ||||||
| 32 | MIMOSA Buffer Timeout (secs.) | Network Rail MIMOSA mode only Controls how long messages can wait in the messaging buffer before constructing a MIMOSA message. Waiting for messages to buffer increases coms efficiency, but incurs a delay in sending data to the server. Buffer timeout limits this delay. | ||||||
| 33 | Append Device ID to Channels | The operation of the Network Rail II/RADAR server makes it diffcult to ascertain which field device a data channel belongs to. Appending the device ID to each channe name eases idintification of data channels is this server system.
| ||||||
| 34 | FTP Server | Network Rail MIMOSA mode only The hostname of the Network Rail II/RADAR FTP server for firmware upgrade. The SA380-IT will attempt to connect to this server upon start-up, and the between 2 AM and 4 AM UTC each day. If connection is succesful and new firmware is found, device firmware will be automatically downloaded and installed. Automated FTP firmware upgrade is only supported in Network Rail MIMOSA mode. No FTP upgrade attempt will be made in RailDAQ mode. Automated FTP firmware upgrade attempts can be inhibited by setting the field to be blank. | ||||||
| 35 | FTP Username | Network Rail MIMOSA mode only The FTP server requries a username. This is specified by the FTP server administrator. | ||||||
| 36 | FTP Password | Network Rail MIMOSA mode only The FTP server requries a password, This is specified by the FTP server administrator. | ||||||
