INSTALLATION
To successfully install the Captis device you must perform the following steps:
1. Mount your Captis Power+ to a DIN rail
2. Connect the Captis Power+ to DC power supply
3. Terminate the sensor
4. Test the sensor and test connectivity
Mount your Captis Power+
Your Captis Power+ must be mounted on DIN rail and ensure the fastening clip on the back of the
device is engaged.
When mounting your Captis Power+, ensure that there is enough length in the sensor cable to reach
without any undue stress.
Note: If the Captis Power+ is to be installed inside a metal cabinet, an external LTE antenna must
be used and routed to an open area where cell signal is less obstructed.

Terminate the Sensor
The Captis Power+ is provided with 24 terminals, 12 on each side of the device. These terminals can
be connected to one or many different peripheral devices at one time. Use the diagram below to
determine how to wire the connections between the Captis Power+ terminals and the sensor.
Test Sensor
Test the sensor by ensuring there is known data out of the sensor into the Captis device sensor input.
Wake the device and review the data stream.
Test Connectivity
Use the magnet provided to ‘Wake’ the Captis Power+ by holding it over the symbol.
The device should then connect to your platform.
Ensure that the device is tested in its final install location to prove that there is adequate signal
strength.
If the device does not connect to your platform, please refer to the Troubleshooting section below.

SYMPTOM MEANING WHAT TO DO
x20 Device is on/ awake. Device is working as it should,
leave device to collect data.
solid Device connected to LTE
network.

leave device to collect data.
no LED status
The device battery may be
depleted, or a device fault may
have occurred.
Use a different device and
contact the supplier.
x2 long + x1 short
No cellular registration
(connection to the network) is
being achieved.
Check network provider
coverage map to ensure the
site is covered by the LTE-M or
NBIoT cellular network.
If the area is covered, and the
device cannot connect, contact
the supplier.
x2 long + x8 short Device cellular module failed to
boot.
Return the device to the
supplier if the issue persists.
Sensor connection not working
(not flashing the LED after LED
flash turned on in Captis
Configuration Toolset).
Connection wired incorrectly.
Confirm that the sensor is
properly attached. Contact
support if issue persists.
Sensor readings not
uploading/appearing in cloud
platform.
Sensor not triggering.
Ensure the sensor can be
triggered by checking that the
sensor is securely installed.
Contact support if issue persists
No cellular signal
Check Status and Cellular LED.
If flashing, complete
troubleshooting for a flashing
Cellular LED.
Contact support if issue persists.

MAINTENANCE & SAFETY
Maintenance
Your Captis Power+ does not require any maintenance once installed.
If you encounter any issues with the device during its standard operation, contact your support team.
Electromagnetic Radiation – Human Exposure
It is the installer’s and end customer’s responsibility to ensure that no person has any body parts
within 20cm of the device or antenna while device is transmitting. Device is transmitting when the
‘Cellular’ LED is lit.
Note: Opening the Captis Power+ device will void warranty and may cause significant damage
to the device.
Warning: This device has a Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) radius of 20cm.
