COMET W6810 IoT Sensor Plus for the SIGFOX Network

Product Description

The IoT Sensor Plus is a device that can be set up either locally by connecting it to a computer with the COMET Vision software installed or remotely via the cloud web interface. It comes in different device types that measure different values, as shown below:

concentration
sensors| 1 pc| yes
W8810| T + CO2| Internal temperature and CO2 concentration sensors| 1 or 2 pcs| yes
W8861| T + P + CO2| Internal temperature and pressure sensors and connector for CO2
probe| 1 or 2 pcs| no

• Note: T stands for temperature, RH stands for relative humidity, P stands for atmospheric pressure, CO2 stands for CO2 concentration and DP stands for dew point temperature.

Mounting

The device box has holes for fixing with appropriate screws or straps (the holes are accessible after removing the cover). Always install the devices vertically (with the antenna cap facing up) at least 10 cm away from all conductive objects. Do not install the devices in underground areas (the radio signal is generally unavailable here). In these cases, it is preferable to use the model with an external probe on the cable and place the device itself, for example, one floor above. The devices and probe cables should be placed away from electromagnetic interference sources. If you install the device at a greater distance from the base station or in locations where the radio signal is difficult to penetrate, follow the recommendations on the other side of this manual.

Turning On and Setting Up the Device

To turn on the device, use the CONFIGURATION button (see figure). Press the button and release it as soon as the display lights up (within approx. 1 second). Check in the cloud whether the messages are correctly received. In case of problems with the signal, please refer to the manual for devices in the Download section at www.cometsystem.com. Change the device settings as needed. Carefully tighten the cover of the instrument (making sure that the gasket in the housing groove is correctly positioned).

Safety Instructions

• Read carefully the Safety information for IoT SENSOR before operating the device and observing it during use!
• Installation, electrical connection, and commissioning should only be performed by qualified personnel in accordance with applicable regulations and standards.
• Devices contain electronic components; it needs to liquidate according to currently valid conditions.
• To complement the information in this datasheet, read the manuals and other documentation, which is available in the Download the section for a particular device at www.cometsystem.com.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

• The transmitters W6(8)8xx for the SIGFOX network are designed to measure temperature, relative humidity, and atmospheric pressure of air and CO2 concentration in air. The devices are available in a compact design or with connectors for the connection of external probes. The transmitters of relative humidity also provide a value of dew point temperature. Internal replaceable batteries are used for power. Some models can be powered from an external power supply (the internal battery then serves as a backup source).
• The measured values and service information are displayed cyclically in three steps on the LCD and are sent over an adjustable time interval via radio transmission in the SIGFOX network to the cloud data store. The cloud allows you to view current and historical data through a regular web browser. The device performs a measurement every 1 minute (CO2 concentration every 10 minutes). For each measured variable it is possible to set two alarm limits. The alarm is signaled by the symbols on the LCD display and by sending an extraordinary message to the Sigfox network, from which it is sent to the user via e-mail or SMS message.
• Device setup is done either locally by connecting your device to the computer with installed the COMET Vision software, or remotely via a cloud web interface.

TURNING ON AND SETTING UP THE DEVICE

• The CONFIGURATION button is used to switch on the device (see figure). Press the button and release it as soon as the display lights up (within approx. 1 second).
• Cloud is an internet storage of data. You need a PC with an internet connection and a web browser to work with. Navigate to the cloud address you use and sign in to your account – if you use COMET Cloud by a device manufacturer, enter www.cometsystem.cloud and follow the instructions in the COMET Cloud registration Card that you received with your device. Each transmitter is identified by its unique address (device ID) in the Sigfox network. The transmitter has an ID printed on the nameplate along with its serial number. In the list of your device in the cloud, select the device with the desired ID and start viewing the measured values.
• Check in the cloud, whether the messages are correctly received. In case of problems with the signal, please refer to the manual for devices in the “Download” section at www.cometsystem.com
• Change the device settings as needed.
• Carefully tighten the cover of the instrument (making sure that the gasket in the housing groove is correctly positioned).
• Device setting from the manufacturer – message sending interval of 10 minutes, alarms deactivated, altitude for pressure measurement is set to 0 m, remote device setup enabled.

Technical specifications

The optimal location of the devices in terms of radio range

• place the device as high as possible (max. 2m) at a sufficient distance (20 cm) from all obstacles
• lead the cable of the probe and the power cable first down to a distance of at least 40 cm from the device
• at temperature 23 °C in the range of 0 to 90 %RH (hysteresis ‡1 %RH, non-linearity ‡1 %RH, temperature error 0.05 % RH/°C in the range of 0 to 60 °C)
• in temperature range -20 to +45 °C (MV … the measured value of CO2 concentration)
