Section 1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 OVERVIEW
Thank you for selecting the EDI Data Aggregator, DA-400™ to address your remote
intersection connectivity, VPN, and traffic data collection requirements. This manual is
provided to give you the information needed to conduct a successful installation of the DA400™ into a traffic signal controller cabinet. This device will work with all North American
cabinet types and controller manufacturers, and will also work with many international
controller and cabinet types. Depending on the type of cabinet in which the Data
Aggregation device is installed, there will be some wires within the harness that will not
need to be connected. Those wires can be removed from the iCITE
harnesses if desired and stored for potential later installation and utilization if needed.
®
The iCITE
DA-400™ is designed to provide comprehensive information about the
operational health and status of the traffic control cabinet and to allow remote
communications and connectivity from the traffic controller cabinet and its associated
components to an iCITE READY
and web-based configuration software is called iCITE G2
to Traffic Equipment), and is capable of communicating with as many units as are
installed and connected to the system. This iCITE G2
®
Web-based user interface and display. The local unit
®
(Intelligent Cabinet Interface
®
is accessible through an
administrator-issued user name and password, wherever there is internet connectivity
available. Information provided through the local Ethernet interface, the cellular connection
and on iCITE G2
®
can be viewed on any browser; however, Google Chrome is the web
browser recommended. The DA-400™, along with an iCITE READY
partner, is also capable of collecting and transmitting the raw data needed to provide
comprehensive travel time information and route analytics. VPN capabilities and the ability
to act as a replacement for an On-Street Master are also provided. This manual will provide
a step-by-step process of installing, connecting and configuring the DA-400™ and its
associated wiring harnesses into the traffic cabinet. There is also a required 5-band
antenna that will need to be installed and connected onto the top exterior of the traffic
cabinet.

Section 2 HARDWARE
2.1 HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS
The hardware required for installation consists of the following: A DA-400™, two (2)
harnesses, H5 and H7 and a 5-band antenna. The DA-400™ is designed to be shelf
mounted and will have one (1) mounting ear for left or right side rail mount installation into a
standard 19-inch EIA rack type cabinet. Several tools will be required for installation of the
DA-400™ depending on your chosen and required installation configuration. In each type of
potential installation, cabinet wiring will be terminated in different locations and in potentially
different configurations. It will be up to the end user agency to determine the correct
locations based on the implemented cabinet designs and the desired connectivity
functionalities.
For those Agencies requiring specification assistance, please contact EDI for additional
information and implementation guidance. See the contact information in Troubleshooting
Section 5 of this manual.

Section 3 INSTALLATION
3.1 PREPARING FOR INSTALLATION
To begin the installation, unpack all the equipment for installation. Ensure you have all the
tools and materials required to complete the installation. The tools are listed in paragraph
2.2 Tools. The cabinet does not have to be in flash, and the DA-400™ is designed to be
installed while the intersection is running if the user takes all appropriate IMSA and MUTCD
recommended safety precautions. Follow all applicable and appropriate State DOT/local
agency rules and procedures for working in an operational Traffic Control Cabinet, with the
potential of creating a fault condition that could cause a flash condition in the cabinet.
Different administrative agencies will have different guidelines and requirements up to and
including having a Law Enforcement Officer on-site for traffic control in the event of a traffic
signal cabinet service interruption. Preparations should be made to correctly identify and
note the locations of all field wiring terminations, before the DA-400™ wiring harnesses
installation begins.
CAUTION: Care should be taken to make sure that critical 24 VDC and 120 VAC are
not disturbed or disrupted, or the cabinet may potentially go into a flash, failure or
fault condition.
3.2 PLACING THE DA-400™ INTO THE CABINET
Determine where the DA-400™ will be placed in the cabinet. It may be located anywhere in
the cabinet there is space available for the unit. The floor of the cabinet should be avoided
due to the potential for water intrusion. The unit should be placed in a location allowing air
to circulate freely around it. The leads for all wire harnesses are 8 feet (2.4 meters) in
length so the position of the DA-400™ should be located such that all required connections
can be terminated based on its position inside the traffic control cabinet. Once a location is
established, the DA-400™ can be placed on the shelf, or mounted on the side rail of the
rack assembly. A mounting ear is supplied. Screw the mounting ear onto the DA-400™
attach the device to the side of the equipment rack.
3.3 CONNECTING THE DA-400™ HARNESSES
Once the DA-400™ is placed into the cabinet, the next step will be to wire in the two (2)
connection harnesses. Each harness has a different sized connector pin-out and wire color
code to prevent cross wiring. Each wire is also marked with printed lettering to indicate the
specific function of the wire and its associated monitoring termination point. These marks
provide information to where the wires need to be terminated within the cabinet. The
harnesses are labeled: H5 and H7. The following is the wiring information for each harness.
and
Not all the connections on each harness will be connected on every installation. For
example, if there is no Battery Backup System (BBS) in the cabinet, none of these wires
will have a place to be connected. All unused wires should be looped and tied back.
CAUTION: DO NOT CUT BACK HARNESS WIRES. Leave wiring intact for possible
future installation.
CAUTION: Do not plug the harnesses into the DA-400™ until all terminations are
completed. It is also good practice to make sure the correct voltages are on each
wire before connecting the harness to the DA-400™. All AC voltages are for 120 VAC
connections.

powered and that the processor and functionality is operational for the DA-400™. The other
connectors can now be attached. No specific or particular connection order is required.
3.4 INSTALLING THE DA-400™ ANTENNA / ANTENNA ASSEM BLY
The next step is to install the 5-band antenna and Radome assembly. Now that the location
for the DA-400™ has been established determine where the antenna will need to be
mounted. If the antenna will be mounted on top of the cabinet use a step-down drill bit to
drill the desired size hole to feed the mounting bolt through. For the 5-band antenna it will
need to be a 1/2 in. (12.7mm) feed through hole. Feed the cables through the hole. Take
care to ensure that no rough edges on the drilled hole cut the antenna cable shielding.
Place the Radome firmly onto the cabinet. A small amount of silicone adhesive can be used
to ensure a better seal. Then thread the cables through the provided cut out nut and
washer inside the cabinet. Tighten the nut to secure the antenna Radome. Care should be
taken to not drop the nut or washer inside the operational cabinet and ensure the antenna
has been located in a position where the threaded connection will be accessible to your
hand to place the nut and washer and have adequate room to use a wrench to tighten the
nut. Pay special attention to any internal cabinet “voids” where metal has been folded and
the antenna mount will not penetrate fully. Metal Epoxy Putty can be used if need to repair
unwanted cabinet penetrations. It is recommended to utilize a cardboard box inside the
cabinet to capture any metal drill shavings and prevent potential wiring shorts inside the
cabinet. Drilling from the outside in provides an opportunity to capture the drill shavings.
If the Radome cannot be mounted to the top of the cabinet a side mounted bracket is
available for purchase. The feed hole will be drilled in the side of the cabinet and the
bracket will be mounted to the side of the cabinet, where the mounting ears are located, if
there are detachable mounting ears. Otherwise two smaller holes will need to be drilled for
the attachment bolts.
Once the antenna assembly is mounted, connect the GPS and the Cell leads to the DA400™. Each lead will be marked accordingly and will be found next to the SMA connector.
At this time, the DSRC and Bluetooth leads can be left disconnected. It is recommended
they are looped and tie-wrapped in an inconspicuous location inside the cabinet for future
use.
After the GPS and the cellular antenna are attached there will be a second indications on
the front of the DA-400™. The LED marked HEART may take several minutes to light up,
but once it lights up will it will begin to flash. This is the indication that the Cellular modem
has connected to the cloud based software, and reported the location of the DA-400™.
NOTE: The Antenna Radome Assembly and Harness Assemblies are sold separately.

3.5 INSTALLING THE CELLULAR SIM CARD INTO THE DA-400™
The DA-400™ is shipped to the customer with no SIM card populating the SIM Card
Holder. To install the SIM card, the rear access plate must be detached from the unit by
removing the (5) screws on the back of the DA-400™ unit. Once removed, the unit will look
like this:
Figure 10. SIM Card Slot - Depopulated.
Figure 11. SIM Card Slot - Populated.
Insert the SIM card into the slot using the orientation shown in the picture. The SIM Card
must be industrial rated to guarantee continuous, uninterrupted operation in a NEMA
Cabinet operating across a wide operating temperature and humidity range.
3.6 CONNECTING A NEMA TS-2 TYPE 2 SDLC TO THE DA-400™
If the DA-400™ is being installed into a NEMA TS-2 Type 2 cabinet, there is additional
information that is relayed to the iCITE G2® software. This is through the SDLC
communications of the TS-2 Type 2 cabinet. If there is an existing spare SDLC cable it can
simply be plugged into the front of the DA-400™. No additional programming in the
controller is necessary. If there is not a spare SDLC cable, one could be installed, or the
DA-400™ could be connected in serial on an existing SDLC connection using the two
provided SDLC connections on the front of the DA-400™ and two SDLC Cables. Prior to
disconnecting the SDLC from the detector BIU, it is advisable to pull the BIU from the rack.
Alternatively, depending on the controller and the capabilities of the installer, you may be
able to “deactivate” the BIU SDLC bus from within the Controller’s programming menu.
