Start-up Manual
Startup and operation of espGlobal™

Step 1: ensure communication wires are connected [as per schematic],


interconnecting espGlobal™ box and field device (GCS,
Centinel surface panel, WellLift surface panel, etc.)
Step 2: ensure field device communication parameters are set properly
[as per config sheet]
Step 3: apply 110Vac to Gateway box – observe 5 green LED’s (Light
Emitting Diodes) on lower portion of interconnect board. Also
find amber1 colored LED’s D6, D7, and D9

Startup Sequence:
Power on – the LED’s will flash intermittently for approximately 65 to
75 seconds. This is the boot up sequence of the onboard
computer and is normal
After boot up is complete – The “Power” LED (D1) will be ON and after
a couple flashes, the “CPU” LED (D2) will be ON.
The system is now booted up, and the CPU LED means a valid
configuration program is resident in the processor/controller.
Find the amber colored LED D9 (near the COM3 terminal strip) – this
will flash on briefly. D9 is the COM3 activity LED. That shows
that polls are being issued to the field device. Once polls start
to be received by espGlobal™, the “485” LED (D4) will turn ON
solid2 (no flash).
D1, D2 and D4 should be ON. Observe “ISU” D3 LED – this will flash
while the processor tries to talk to the satellite modem (ISU).
Also observe the LED D7 – that is the activity light on the
processor-to-modem communication line. Once communication
is established between the processor and the modem, the “ISU”
LED (D3) will be ON solid. It will blink whenever the processor
talks to the modem.
Observe LED D6 – this is the ‘modem power cycle’ indicator. Typically
the modem is off when espGlobal™ is powered up for the first
time. If the processor senses the modem is off, LED D6 will
come on to turn the modem on. NOTE: It may take up to 4
minutes for the processor to cycle the power ON to the modem,
and LED D6 may flash a few times.

Green LED’s = status lights controlled by processor logic
Amber LED’s = lights physically attached to logic level lines on the printed circuit board
2
There are 3 states to the “485” LED (D4):
OFF – No polls are being answered by any field device. No serial communication present
Flashing – Polls are being received by at least one (1) field device, but polls are failing from at
least one device [only applicable when more than one device is present on the serial RS-
485/422 network]
ON Solid- all polls are being received successfully from all the field devices
D1, D2, D4 and D3 should now be ON – watch “SIG” LED D5. The
modem will now connect up with the satellite and register on the
satellite network. The modem will also produce a ‘signal
strength’ indication. LED “SIG” D5 will come ON solid when the
modem registers on the satellite network. The LED will flash
OFF 1 to 5 times, equaling the signal strength indication value in
the modem. “1” is the weakest signal needed for
communication, “5” is the strongest signal. If the signal goes to
“0” for a length of time (generally over 2 hours) the LED (D5) will
turn off until the modem can re-register on the network.

PROPER ‘RUN’ OPERATION: (entire boot up and network registering


can take up to 10 minutes. Usually less)

LED States:

Green LED’ –
D1, D2, D3, D43 - ON Solid
Amber LEDs –
D6 – Off [will flash 2x per day to cycle power to modem]
D7 – flash sporadically as messages are transmitted to modem
D9 – flash sporadically as field devices are polled

LED D4 “485” could be flashing if a known device on the network is ‘down’ and not communicating.
That will not affect the function of the other devices that are communicating. See footnote #2.
