Figure 5 Steps to install the Captis
To successfully install the Captis you must perform the following steps. Each step is described in
more detail in the following sections.
1. Mount the Captis Pulse Lite to your selected location/ water meter
2. Register the Captis on the cloud platform.
3. Test the wiring, sensor and cellular connection.
4. Complete the physical installation after testing.
MOUNTING THE CAPTIS
Consider the following points when deciding on the mounting location for the Captis:
•If the Captis device is installed underground or inside a metal cabinet, an external LTE
antenna must be used. Ensure that your Captis device supports external antenna connection.
The antenna lead must be routed to an open area where cell signal is less obstructed.
•Ensure there are no physical obstructions to the cell signal reaching the antenna. This applies
to both models of Captis devices with an internal antenna or an external antenna.
The Captis devices can be mounted in a range of positions and methods. Around the Captis
enclosure there are:
-2 Screw tabs for wall mounting.
-Vertical and Horizontal channels to accommodate a standard 15mm pipe clamp.

TERMINATING THE DEVICE
The Captis Pulse Lite is provided with a four pin plug that can be connected to one or two sensors
and/or measurement devices.
Use the table below to determine how to wire the connections between the Captis Pulse Lite and the
sensor.

TERMINATION PRECAUTIONS
When connecting the Captis to a sensor:
•Ensure that the connection is sealed and insulated appropriately.
•Ensure that the connection is made electrically safe.
•Isolate any unused cables.
To ensure the efficacy of your Captis on-site installation and the on-going safety and sustainability of
your installation, mIoT recommends that you follow these best practice procedures for terminating and
waterproofing your sensor connection.
TERMINATION:
To ensure on-site sensor connections remain intact, the Captis can be configured with a loopback
cable cut detection. It is recommended that this loopback is performed as close to the sensor as
possible, giving the best possible tamper coverage of the sensor cable.
WATERPROOFING & PROTECTION OF TERMINATIONS:
mIoT recommends that standard electrical termination waterproofing procedures are followed,
including junction box scotch locks, solder terminations and other terminal style connections.
These terminations are recommended to be water-proofed by means of heat shrink or self-
amalgamating tape or other standard, secure electrical waterproofing means.
WATERPROOFING & PROTECTION OF SMA CONNECTOR:
When the SMA connector is securely fastened to the Captis’ SMA connector, the seal which is
enclosed within the connector (on the antenna side) creates a seal against the housing preventing
moisture intrusion.
Further protection can be added if required by the installer by using a small piece of resin filled heat
shrink or self-amalgamating tape to further protect the connector.
OTHER BEST PRACTICE CONSIDERATIONS:
Do not suspend the Captis by the cable.
Do not stress the exit port of the Captis unit.
Do not introduce any severe or unnecessary bends to the cable.

REGISTER AND CONFIGURE THE CAPTIS
Before registering the Captis, you must:
•Connect the Captis device to the water meter
1. Login to the Cumulocity cloud platform using an internet connected device such as a tablet
or mobile phone.
2. Create the Captis device in the Cumulocity system by entering the serial number found on
the label of the device you are installing.
a. Go to the Devices menu. Click Registration then click Register Device.
b. Click General Device Registration.
Figure 6 Registering the Captis overview
Note: The Captis device does
not
have to be installed in its final location before registration.
If the device’s final location is difficult to reach, you can perform all the registration and some of
the testing before installing it.

c. Enter the serial number from the label of the Captis.
d. If this device is part of a group, select that group from the drop-down menu.
e. Click Next to register the device.
3. A magnet is provided with the Captis. Place the magnet between the two LEDs on the label
for 3-5 seconds. The device will wake up and attempt to connect to the network.
4. Check the STATUS and CELLULAR LEDs to confirm that the device is powered, and a
network connection has been established. The STATUS LED will flash on and off once. The
CELLULAR LED will flash but should stabilise to a solid orange light within 2 minutes.
If the STATUS LED does not flash, re-try the magnet between the LEDs. If this still does not
work, see Troubleshooting for more suggestions.
If the CELLULAR LED does not stop flashing within 2 minutes, this indicates connection
issues and/or poor signal strength. If an external antenna is used, reposition it to a more open
location away from metal objects. If an internal antenna is used, see if the device can be
mounted in another location.
Hold the magnet between the LEDs once again to wake-up the device and inspect the
CELLULAR LED.
See Troubleshooting for more information if you are still having problems.
Both lights will go out when transmission is completed.

5. Go to the Cumulocity cloud platform and accept the device.
a. Go to the Device Registration Page.
b. Find your device in the list on the Device Registration Page. Its status should be
Pending Acceptance.
c. Click Accept.
6. Wake up the device again, using the magnet between the two LEDs. This will download
credentials from the cloud.
7. On the cloud platform, select your device from the list.
a. Click on the App Menu in the top right hand corner, and then click on Captis.
b. You will see the Captis sub-menu.
