ABOUT THE WIRELESS AC CURRENT METER

The GEN 2 Wireless AC Current Meter measures the RMS current of an alternating current (AC) system using a current transformer (CT) that wraps around the hot wire of a two wire (hot, common, ground(optional)) power system. The sensor reports Minimum RMS current, maximum RMS current, average RMS current, and amp hours to the Scigiene Premiere system. The Scigiene Premiere system is capable of generating watt hour or kilowatt hour readings as well.

  • Measures amp hours, max RMS current, min RMS current, and average RMS current
  • Two different current transducers available:
    • Low Current: 0–20 amp
    • Medium Current: 0–150 amp
    • High Current: 0–500 amp
  • Capable of generating watt hour or kilowatt hour readings using Scigiene Premiere Data logging for accumulated amp hour readings · Can notify based on current levels or changes in current levels · Simple and safe installation of current/power measurement hardware, no rewiring
  • required.

To measure current, clip the CT around only a single wire of the AC system (clipping around a hot and neutral wire at the same time will result in 0 current readings). After the sensor powers on and connects to the gateway it will begin taking measurements based on the averaging interval (5 seconds default). It will report data to Scigiene Premiere every heartbeat or if the current goes outside of the aware thresholds set in Scigiene Premiere. The sensor reports amp hours, max RMS current, min RMS current, and average RMS current. Scigiene Premiere can also generate watt hour or kilowatt hour readings if a default RMS voltage is set in Scigiene Premiere.

ACTIONS

SETTING UP YOUR AC CURRENT METER

When you are finished adding the sensor to your account, the next step is to insert the battery. The type of battery you use will depend on the category of your sensor. GEN 2 Wireless AC Current Meter will either be powered by commercial AA, or an industrial battery.

INSTALLING BATTERIES
GEN 2 commercial current meters are powered by AA batteries. Industrial sensors need a 3.6V Lithium battery supplied from Scigiene or another industrial battery supplier. Scigiene encourages customers to recycle all old batteries.

AA Batteries
The standard version of this current meter is powered by two replaceable 1.5 V AA sized batteries (included with purchase). The typical battery life is up to 10 years.

This current meter is also available with a line power option. The line powered version of this meter has a barrel power connector allowing it to be powered by a standard 3.0—3.6 V power supply. The line powered version also uses two standard 1.5 V AA batteries as backup for uninterrupted operation in the event of line power outage.
INSTALLING BATTERIES

Power options must be selected at time of purchase, as the internal hardware of the meter must be changed to support the selected power requirements.

Place batteries in the device by first taking the meter and sliding the battery door open. Insert fresh AA batteries in the carriage, then shut the battery door.

Complete the process by opening up Scigiene Premiere and selecting Sensors from the main navigation menu. Verify that Scigiene Premiere is showing the meter has a full battery level.
INSTALLING BATTERIES

Industrial Batteries

3.6V Lithium batteries for the Industrial Wireless Amp AC Current Meter is supplied by Scigiene. The GEN 2 battery life for the Industrial battery is up to 7 years. TheIndustrial meter doesnot need tohavebatteries installed. The batteries are already in the meters when they are shipped.

OpenScigiene Premiere and select Sensors from the main menu. Verify that Scigiene Premiere is showing the sensor has a full battery level.
Industrial Batteries

In order for the meter to function properly, you will need to attach the included antenna.
Simply screw the antenna onto the barrel connector on the top of the device. Make sure to snug the antenna connection, but do not overtighten. When placing the meter, make sure to mount the sensor with the antenna oriented straight up (vertical) to ensure the best wireless radio signal.
Since the electronics are sealed with in the meter housing, we have added an “On/Off’  switch to the unit for your convenience. If you are not using the meter, simply leave the button in the off position to preserve battery life. If the meter needs to be reset for any reason, you can simply cycle the power by turning the switch to the “Off’ position and waiting 30 seconds before powering back on.

SENSOR OVERVIEW IN SCIGIENE PREMIERE

Select Sensors from the main navigation menu on Scigiene Premiere to access the sensor overview page and begin making adjustments to your Current Meter.

MENU SYSTEM
MENU SYSTEM

A. Details – Displays a graph of recent sensor data
B. History – List of all past heartbeats and readings
C. Actions – List of all actions attached to this sensor
D. Settings – Editable levels for your sensor
E. Calibrate – Set your sensor to read more accurately
F. Scale – Change the scale of readings for your sensor

Directly under the tab bar is an overview of your sensor. This allows you to see the signal strength and the battery level of the selected sensor. A colored dot in the left corner of the sensor icon denotes its status.

  • Green indicates the sensor is checking in and within user-defined safe parameters.

  • Red indicates the sensor has met or exceeded a user-defined threshold or triggered event.
    Gray indicates that no sensor readings are being recorded, rendering the sensor inactive.

  • Yellow indicates that the sensor reading is out of date, due to perhaps a missed heartbeat check-in.

Details View

The Details View will be the first page you see upon selecting which sensor you would like to modify.
Details View

A. The sensor overview section will be above every page. This will consistently display the present reading, signal strength, battery level, and status.
B. The Recent Readings section below the chart shows your most recent data received by the sensor.
C. This graph charts how the sensor fluctuates throughout a set date range. To change the date range displayed in the graph, navigate up to the top of the Readings Chart section on the right-hand corner to change the from and/or to date.

Readings View

Selecting the Readings Tab within the tab bar allows you to view the sensor’s data history as time stamped data.

  • On the far right of the Sensor History Data is a cloud icon. ( ) Selecting this icon will export an Excel file for your sensor into your download folder.

Note: Make sure you have the date range for the data you need input in the “From” and “To” text boxes. This will be the previous day by default. Only the first 2,500 entries in the selected date range will be exported.

The data file will have the following fields:

MessagelD: Unique identifier of the message in our database.
Sensor ID: If multiple sensors are exported, you can distinguish between the sensors using this number — even if the names are the same.
Sensor Name: The name you have given the sensor.
Date: The date the message was transmitted from the sensor.
Value: Data presented with transformations applied, but without additional labels.
Formatted Value: Data transformed and presented as it is shown in the monitoring portal.
Raw Data: Raw data as it is stored from the sensor.
Sensor State: Binary field represented as an integer containing information about the state of the sensor when the message was transmitted. (See “Sensor State” explained below.)
Alert Sent: Boolean indicating if this reading triggered a notification to be sent from the system.

Sensor State
The value presented here is generated from a single byte of stored data.
A byte consists of 8 bits of data that we read as Boolean (True (1) / False (0)) fields.

When broken into individual bits, the State byte contains the following information: aaaabcde
STS: This value is specific to the sensor profile and is often used to indicate error states and other sensor conditions.
UNUSED: This sensor does not use these bits.
AWARE: Sensors become aware when critical sensor specific conditions are met. Going aware can cause the sensor to trigger and report before the heartbeat and cause the gateway to forward the data to the server immediately resulting in near immediate transmission of the data.
TEST: This bit is active when the sensor is first powered on or reset and remains active for the first 9 messages when using default configurations.

STS Specific Codes:
0 = No problems, sensor is functioning normally.
1 = Open circuit detected in lead.
2 = Short circuit detected in lead.
3 = Range error. Temperature is reading outside of -40 F and 257 F (-40 C and 125 C).

If the user has calibrated the sensor, the Calibrate Active field is set to False (0) and the sensor is operating inside the Min and Max Thresholds, the bits look like 00000000, this is represented as 0.

If the sensor is using factory calibrations and it is outside the threshold, the bit values are 00010010 and are represented as 18(16+2 because both the bit in the 16 value is set and the bit in the 2 value is set).

Settings View

To edit the operational settings for a sensor, choose the Sensor option in the main navigation menu and then select the Settings Tab to access the configuration page. See Figure 12.
Settings View

  • A. Sensor Name is a unique name you give the meter to easily identify it in a list and in any notifications.
  • B. The Heartbeat Interval is how often the sensor communicates with the gateway when NOT in an Aware State.
  • C. Aware State Heartbeat is how often the meter communicates with the gateway while in an Aware State.
  • D. Minimum Threshold is the low amp threshold. Assessments below this value will cause the sensor to enter the Aware State and report data if not already in the Aware State.
  • E. Maximum Threshold is the high amp threshold. Assessments above this value will cause the sensor to enter the Aware State and report data if not already in the Aware State.
  • F. The Aware State Buffer is a buffer to prevent the sensor from bouncing between Standard Operation and Aware State when the assessments are very close to a threshold. The sensor must read within the threshold(s) by this value to exit the Aware State.
  • G. Averaging Interval is how often the sensor makes an assessment within the sensor’s heartbeat. The measurements taken on this interval will be averaged together to calculate the Average Current reading  the sensor produces.
  • H. Accumulate, when On, causes the Ah readings to accumulate from one data point to the next. When Off the Ah count will reset to 0 after the data is sent to the gateway.
  • I. Show Full Data Value, when On, will make the software show all the data the sensor reports (AmpHours, Average Current, Max Current, Min Current). When Off the software only reports AmpHours. The sensor still reports the same data to Scigiene Premiere, this only changes how the data is displayed.
  • J. In small sensor networks the sensors can be set to synchronize their communications. The default setting off allows the sensors to randomize their communications therefore maximizing communication robustness. Setting this will synchronize the communication of the sensors.
  • K. Failed transmissions before link mode is the number of transmissions the sensor sends without response from a gateway before it goes to battery saving link mode. In link mode, The sensor will scan and Join a gateway at the following intervals: @ 0 Seconds, 3 sec, 6 sec, 9 sec, 15 sec, 30 sec, 1 min, 2 min, 5 min, 15 min, 30 min, and 60 min, then 60 minutes thereafter. While attempting to link, the sensor will continue to measure. A lower number will allow sensors to find new gateways with fewer missed readings. High numbers will enable the sensor to remain with its current gateway in a noisy RF environment better.

Finish by selecting the Save button.

Calibrate View
If a sensor type has readings that need to be reset, the “Calibrate” tab will be available for selection in the sensor tab bar.
To calibrate a sensor, ensure that the environment of the sensor and other calibration devices are stable.

Enter the actual (accurate) reading from the calibration device into the text field. If you need to change the unit of measurement you can do that here. Press Calibrate.
Calibrate View

To ensure that the calibration command is received prior to the sensors next check-in, press the control button on the back of the gateway, once, to force communication (Cellular and Ethernet gateways).

After pressing the “Calibrate” button and choosing the gateway button, the server will send the command to calibrate the specified sensor to the gateway. When the sensor checks-in, it will send the pre-calibration reading to the gateway, then receive the calibration command and update its configuration. When the process is completed, it will send a “Calibration Successful” message. The server will display the sensor’s last pre-calibrated reading for this check-in, then all future readings from the sensor will be based on the new calibration setting. It is important to note that after calibrating the sensor, the sensor reading returned to the server is based on pre-calibration settings. The new calibration settings will take effect on the next sensor heartbeat.

Note: Be sure to select the Save button anytime you make a change to any of the sensor parameters. All changes made to the sensor settings will be downloaded to the sensor on the next sensor heartbeat (check-in). Once a change has been made and saved, you will not be able to edit that sensor’s configuration again until it has downloaded the new setting.

Creating a Calibration Certificate

Creating a sensor calibration certificate will mask the calibration tab from those who should not have permissions to adjust these settings. Permissions for self-certifying a calibration must be enabled in user permissions. Directly below the calibrate button is the selection to “Create Calibration Certificate.
Calibration Certificate

A. The Calibration Facility Field will be filled. Select the dropdown menu to change your facility.
B. The “Certificate Valid Until” field must be set one day after the date contained in the “Date Certified” field.

SECURITY

Data security and integrity is paramount at Scigiene. Each layer of the system is secured using encryption and protocols designed to protect customer data and information. The system consists of sensor(s), gateway(s), and Scigiene Premiere software. One or more sensors communicate with Scigiene Premiere software through a gateway.

SENSOR TO GATEWAY
Sensor and gateway radio modules are purpose-built devices with proprietary unreadable firmware, which means the sensor cannot be physically hacked or re- purposed for malicious purposes. This adds a strong level of inherent security even before considering encryption. Data transmission between the sensor and gateway are secured using Encrypt-RF Security (DiffieHellman Key Exchange + AES-128 CBC for sensor data messages). Beyond the encryption, data transmissions are also structurally verified and CRC checked before they are passed up to Scigiene Premiere or down to the sensor, this ensures the integrity of the data itself.

GATEWAY TO SCIGIENE PREMIERE
Data transmissions between the gateway and Scigiene Premiere software are secured using 256-bit, bank level encryption.

SCIGIENE PREMIERE
Access is granted through the Scigiene Premiere user interface, or an Application Programming Interface (API) safeguarded by 256-bit Transport Layer Security (TLS 1.2) encryption. TLS is a blanket of protection to encrypt all data exchanged between Scigiene Premiere and you. The same encryption is available to you whether you are a Basic or Premiere user of Scigiene Premiere. You can rest assured that your data is safe with Scigiene Premiere.

SENSOR PRINTS
Sensor prints utilize a shared key between the software and the sensor to ensure that once the data comes to Scigiene Premiere it is guaranteed to be from the device identified by the sensor print. If this feature is purchased for the device (via Scigiene Premiere software) the devices data becomes impossible to spoof by any malicious device.
