IMPORTANT! READ INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE STARTING!
EQUIPMENT APPLICATION WARNING
The customer should note that a failure of this instrument or system, for whatever reason, may
leave an operating process without protection. Depending upon the application, this could result in
possible damage to property or injury to persons. It is suggested that the purchaser review the
need for additional backup equipment or provide alternate means of protection such as alarm
devices, output limiting, fail-safe valves, relief valves, emergency shutoffs, emergency switches,
etc. If additional information is required, the purchaser is advised to contact RAS.
RETURNED EQUIPMENT WARNING
When returning any equipment to RAS for repairs or evaluation, please note the following: The
party sending such materials is responsible to ensure that the materials returned to RAS are clean
to safe levels, as such levels are defined and/or determined by applicable federal, state and/or
local law regulations or codes. Such party agrees to indemnify RASand save RASharmless from
any liability or damage which RAS may incur or suffer due to such party's failure to so act.
ELECTRICAL GROUNDING
Metal enclosures and exposed metal parts of electrical instruments must be gr ounded in
accordance with OSHA rules and regulations pertaining to "Design Safety Standards for Electrical
Systems," 29 CFR, Part 1910, Subpart S, dated: April 16, 1981 (OSHA rulings are in agreement
with the National Electrical Code).
The grounding requirement is also applicable to mechanical or pneumatic instruments that
include electrically operated devices such as lights, switches, relays, alarms, or chart drives.
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE FROM ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE VOLTAGE
This product contains sensitive electronic components that can be damaged by exposure to an
electrostatic discharge (ESD) voltage. Depending on the magnitude and duration of the ESD, this
can result in erratic operation or complete failure of the equipment. Read supplemental document
S14006 for proper care and handling of ESD-sensitive components.

You can order certain ControlWave-series devices with a radio preinstalled at the factory, or as “radio-ready” in which you can install a
radio in the field. These ControlWave units are:
Radio-ready units contain all hardware necessary to field install the
radio except the radio itself, and the radio installation hardware such as
screws, nuts, and washers. Radio-ready units include either an internal
RF radio cable with bulk head antenna connector, or an internal RF
radio cable that mates to an optional polyphaser (surge impulse
suppressor).
Radio Associated Installation
MDS 4710A Remote Data
Transceiver (Radio)
MDS 4710B Data Transceiver (Radio)
Radios ship from the factory with all necessary installation hardware for
mounting on the radio mounting bracket or radio mounting plate.
Table 1 shows the supported radios and the installation hardware
included.
Radios supplied by Emerson for use in the ControlWave Corrector,
WARNING
ControlWave ExpressPAC, ControlWave GFC, and ControlWave GFC Plus are approved for use in Class I, Division 2, Groups C, and D hazardous locations. Radios supplied by Emerson for use in the ControlWave EFM are approved for use in Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B, C, and D hazardous locations. Radios may also be used in non-hazardous locations. The installer must be familiar with hazardous location installation guidelines before installation or maintenance is undertaken. Do no begin radio installation or service unless the area is known to be non-hazardous.
Only the radios listed in Table 1 may be used in Class I, Division 2, hazardous locations! Use of other radios in these locations is prohibited.
Avoid operating equipment during an electrical storm. An impulse suppressor may save equipment from danger, but should not be considered as being safe for personnel.
Follow all cautions and warnings in the manual for your ControlWave controller/flow computer.
Installation Steps
1. Open the front cover of the ControlWave device. Refer to Table 1
to reference the figure(s) that apply for your ControlWave device.
2. Remove the radio mounting plate/bracket. To do this, loosen the
pan head screws that secure it to the battery mounting bracket (or in
the case of the GFC Plus or EFM that secure it to the fabrication
panel). Slide the radio mounting plate/bracket upward until you can
remove it.
3. Using the mounting hardware provided with the radio, mount and
secure the radio to the radio mounting plate/bracket you removed in
Step 2.
4. Re-install the radio mounting plate/bracket (now with the radio
attached) that you removed in Step 2 by sliding it in and tightening
the screws.
5. Connect the radio’s RF cable to the radio. Connect the other end of
the radio’s internal RF cable to a polyphaser or an RF bulk
head/antenna interface connector. (See Figure 12, Figure 13,
Figure 14, or Figure 15, as appropriate.)
6. Connect the user-supplied antenna cable to either the polyphaser or
bulk head antenna cable connector jack on the bottom of the
ControlWave device.
7. Plug the radio interface cable into the radio’s communication port.
Plug the other end of this cable into COM2 of the CPU/System
Controller board assembly (or EFM CPU module). For non-EFM
units, in the case of the FreeWave radio, the interface cable
supplies power to the radio from CPU connector TB1 as follows:
TB1-5 = Aux. Power Out+ (Red), TB1-6 = GND (Black).
8. For MDS radios, remove the MDS radio’s power connector from
the radio, and connect the unterminated ends of the MDS power
cable to the MDS power connector (Red = Pos., and Black =
GND). Plug the end of the MDS radio power cable that you just
dressed into the MDS radio. For ControlWave GFC, GFC Plus,
Corrector, or EPAC, connect the other end of the MDS radio power
cable to connector TB1’s AUX PWR terminals on the CPU/System
Controller board (Red = TB1-5, Black = TB1-6). For ControlWave
EFM, connect the other end of the MDS radio power cable to
connector TB3 on the Power Distribution board.

The FreeWave Spread Spectrum Data Transceiver Model FGRM501X005 User Manual contains in-depth details on modem parameters,
operation, installation, tuning transceiver performance, and more.
Copies of the FreeWave Spread Spectrum Data Transceiver Model FGRM-501X005 User Manual can be obtained from FreeWave
Technologies, Inc. (electronically) by contacting their Technical
Support Group.
FreeWave Tech. Support can be reached at 303-444-3862 or at
www.freewave.com.
Follow the “Tuning Transceiver Performance” section of the FreeWave
Technologies, Inc. FreeWave Spread Spectrum Data Transceiver Model FGRM-501X005 User Manual to configure the radio.
Note:
Start HyperTerminal on your PC then invoke the setup program
by connecting the radio to the PC. Set the parameters for that
terminal to those of Table 2, and put the radio into setup mode.
To connect to the PC requires a special RS-232 cable with a 9pin female D-type connector on the PC end and a 10-pin female
MTA-100 connector assembly on the radio end. You can
construct a cable as illustrated in Figure 18. The setup program
is invoked by shorting MTA-100 connector pins 4 (GND) and 2
(MENU) together.
