Purpose
Purpose
The purpose of this procedure is to establish the minimum requirements for safely installing and setting up the Sierra Wireless Modem Model LS300 in a LOGIX control panel.
Procedure
Procedure
This procedure applies to all units with LOGIX control panels that are in currently in service in the field, Test Loop, at a repair shop, and or in storage yards that have the Sierra Wireless LS300 model Modem installed. Flogistix Service Technicians will perform the required steps to properly install and set up the Sierra Wireless LS300 model Modem. This procedure is to be used as a guide for the correct installation and set up of the LS300 Modem.
Before any work is performed a JSA needs to be done according to Flogistix procedure along with any Customer requirements before any work is started.
The LS300 is a 3G LTE capable modem that was previously the standard modem in all LOGIX panels. The LS300 modem is not capable of being changed from Verizon to AT&T. THE LS300 was mostly configured with Verizon as the carrier a few LS300 modems were installed by Flogistix configured for AT&T as the carrier. The modem hardware utilizes the same power, antenna, and Ethernet connectors as the RV50 modems so they can replace any RV50 modem with no modifications to the existing LOGIX panel wiring.
NetSuite Part Numbers:
009-051-208 - LS300 Modem with accessory kit
009-051-209 - LS300 Modem with accessory kit with 2 antennas
009-051-210 - LS300 Modem only
LS300 Modem
The modems come pre-commissioned with an IP address for Verizon. The IP address is clearly marked on the bottom of the modem. When a new modem is installed on a unit, IT will need to be provided the IP Address for the chosen carrier and the compressor asset unit number. The ESN number WILL NOT need to be provided.
RV50 Modem Connections
The modem connections are identical to the current RV50 modem, allowing an LS300 modem to replace any existing RV50 modem in the LOGIX panel. The RV50 power cable connection is identical to an LS300 modem, so existing power cable will work and wiring on new installations will be the same. The LS300 will use the existing styles if antennas/cables for Cellular and GPS communications.
Installing or replacing the Power Cable.
Connect the supplied Power Cable to the Modem
Run power cable in LOGIX panel to (+24V) power terminal. Leave some slack in power cable before you cut it.
Twist the Red & White wire together and land on the (+24V) power terminal.
Land the Black wire in (-12V)
Leave the Green wire not connected for now.
Connecting the antenna cables:
The LS300 Data modems have 2 antenna ports on the modem. Flogistix LOGIX panels use two antennas, one is for the Cellular data and the other antenna is used for GPS. Make sure the antenna cables in the LOGIX panel are connected to the antenna ports on the LS300 as shown in the example below. The antenna connection shown below on the Left is for "Cellular" and the antenna connection shown below on the right "GPS/Diversity" connection.
Connecting the Ethernet Cable:
After the LS300 modem has been installed, wired and is ready to be put in operation an Ethernet cable coming from the 5 port Ethernet hub in the LOGIX panel must be installed into the port labelled Ethernet.
When Ethernet cable is plugged in make sure there are two lights illuminated by the Ethernet port on the LS300.
Activity - The right LED is Solid Orange when a link is present and flashing Orange when there is activity.
Connection Speed - The Left LED light indicates the Ethernet connection speed:
Solid Green - 1000 Mbps.
Solid Orange - 100 Mbps
Off - 10 Mbps
LED Status Lights
The LS300 has LED status lights (circled in yellow below) that indicate connectivity status.
LED status light description listed below
SIM Card/Carrier Information
The LS300 modem comes with a pre-installed SIM card from AT&T. If configured for Verizon there is not a SIM card installed for Verizon use. If AT&T is the preferred carrier, the modem will have to be changed to an AT&T configured modem.
Accessing SIM Cards
This is for accessing the AT&T configured modem only.
Locate SIM card panel and remove the screw on the modem to access the SIM card as shown in the example below.
The LS300 has only one SIM card used for AT&T configuration only unlike the RV50 modem that has two SIM card slots. If SIM card is removed note the proper orientation of the SIM card when it is removed and replace SIM card in the same orientation. To remove SIM card gently press the SIM card inwards, the SIM card will then pop out, remove the SIM card.
Changing Carriers
If needing to change carriers the LS300 modem will need to be replaced with a modem configured for the preferred carrier of choice.
Other Information:
If a modem needs to be reset, it should be done in one of the following ways. Do No Use the reset button on the modem. If the reset button is held for too long it can reset the modem to factory defaults, losing vital programming information that leaves the modem inoperable in a LOGIX panel.
Local Reset
Power should be cycled by removing the power cable for 5 seconds. Give the modem approximately 5 minutes to boot up before checking communications.
Responsibilities

Scope
Scope
This procedure applies to units with a current LOGIX panel that is capable of telemetry using a cell phone modem. This is applicable to all Flogistix employees, contractors, and temporary employees using this procedure.
Hazards
Hazards
Employees need to be aware of the possibility of electrical sparks or electrical shock from DC voltage from electrical contacts or by grounding, this also could cause an ignition hazard. Employees should be aware that units could contain flammable and toxic gasses. Potential for the possible hazards of gas ignition or fire, hot surfaces & fluids, rotating equipment. Risk of possible concentration of H2S. Hazardous gases could be in the units pressure vessels, cooler, or associated piping and risk of inhalation of hazardous gas fumes. Environmental spill of engine waste oil and production fluids.
