Before you Begin
Before you begin setting up your SS-002, ensure you have created an Omega Link
Cloud or Omega
Enterprise Gateway account and registered the Omega Link Gateway that will be
paired with the SS-002 device.
During the gateway setup process, the gateway will automatically download the
latest firmware and re-boot. Once the gateway is registered and the pairing
button LED is green you may continue with the SS-002 installation.
SS-002 Hardware Setup
Step 1: Install the antenna to the side of the connector on the SS-002 unit.
Step 2: Insert the 2x AA batteries into the battery compartment located on the
underside of the SS-002 unit.
Omega Link SS-002 Overview
Important: The battery polarity is marked inside the compartment. Promptly remove dead batteries to prevent loss of data and potential damage due to leaking batteries.
External Sensor | Pin 1 | Pin 2 | Pin 3 |
---|---|---|---|
Thermocouple | TC1 + | TC1 – | Not Used |
RTD | 2-Wire | Color 1 | Color 2 |
3-Wire | Color 1 | Color 2 | Color 1 |
4-Wire | Color 1 | Color 2 | Color 1 |
Dry Contact | Switch | Not Used | Common |
Note: For RTD connections, Pin 3 is the excitation constant current
source.
For 2-Wire RTD connections, a short copper wire is needed form Pin 1 to Pin 3.
For 4-Wire RTD connection, only connect one “Color 2” wire at Pin 2. The
second “Color 2” wire needs to be cut.
The Pairing Button of the Smart Sensor will power up to a solid orange LED
light in the center of the pairing button indicating that the device has been
successfully powered on. Refer to the LED Status indicator table below:
LED Color | Status |
---|---|
Amber/Orange (solid) | SS-002 is powered on; not connected to a Gateway |
Green (blinking repeatedly) | SS-002 is in Pairing Mode |
Amber/Orange (blinking
repeatedly)| SS-002 is reconnecting to a paired Gateway
Green (flash periodically)| SS-002 is communicating to a Gateway
Green (solid)| SS-002 is performing a radio firmware update
Red (solid)| The reset button has been held for a radio factory reset
Red and Green (blinking)| A password error has occurred
No Light| The SS-002 is asleep or the battery is drained
Pairing to your Omega Link Gateway
Once the Pairing Button displays a solid orange LED light in the center of the
pairing button, your Smart Sensor is ready to be connected to an Omega Link
Gateway.
Pairing your SS-002 with an Omega Link Gateway is made easy with a one-button
pairing system between the two devices.
Step 1: Push the pairing button once on your SS-002 unit. The LED status
indicator will blink green indicating the device is in Pairing Mode.
Step 2: Quickly push the pairing button on the Omega Link Gateway. The LED on
the gateway will blink green indicating the gateway is in Pairing Mode. When
the Smart Sensor has been successfully paired to your Omega Link Gateway, the
green LEDs on both devices will stop flashing within 2 minutes. The Smart
Sensor LED will periodically flash green each time data is transmitted to the
gateway.
As measurements are transmitted, you will begin to see data appearing on the
Omega Link Cloud or OEG interface. The transmission interval can be adjusted
from the Omega Link Cloud Interface or from the OEG interface, depending on
which platform the Gateway is connected to.
View Readings on Omega Link Cloud or OEG
Once your SS-002 has successfully paired to your registered Omega Link Gateway, the SS-002 will appear on the Omega Link Cloud interface or the OEG interface and begin transmitting data.
For additional information on the customizable features made available through the micro USB connector, continue to the sections titled Advanced Configuration with SYNC and Smart Sensor USB Connector.
Advanced Configuration with SYNC
Note: SYNC configuration software is downloadable on the OMEGA website.
The SS-002 can be configured using SYNC configuration software by connecting
through the micro USB 2.0 port. SYNC can be used to configure
alarms in the sensor, set device passwords, and update firmware.
Sensor Mix Configuration
To configure the sensor mix in your SS-002, connect a micro USB 2.0 cable from
your Smart Sensor device to your PC or laptop running SYNC configuration
software.
Step 1: Once your device has been auto-detected by SYNC, click the Type
dropdown in the Inputs interface.
The SS-002-0 offers a configurable choice of one external thermocouple, RTD,
or DIN (contact closure).
The SS-002-1 offers a configurable mix of any three of the four internal
sensors: Temperature, Humidity, Barometric Pressure, Ambient Light, AND one
external sensor option:
Thermocouple, RTD, or DIN (contact closure).
Setting Alarms
To configure the alarms in your SS-002 using SYNC, follow these steps:
Step 1: Click the icon next to the input you wish to set an alarm for.
Step 2: Set the parameters for your alarm and click Save.
SYNC – Device Settings
Users can perform functions such as firmware updates and factory resets of the
SS-002 by navigating to the Device Settings tab of SYNC configuration
software.
SS-002 USB Powered Range Boost
Range Boost Mode
When the SS-002 (-NA) device is powered directly by a micro USB 2.0, the Smart
Sensor will also enter a Range Boost mode which will enhance the wireless
range or coverage of the Smart Sensor up to 3.2 km.
Clear line of sight. Actual range may vary depending on environment.
