Preparation

Step1: InstalltheSIMcard

RemovethesixscrewsfromthetopcoverwiththeAllenHex Key(included in the package)and openthelid.
SwipedownwardtoopentheSIMcardsocket,insert the MicroSIMcardandswipeupwardtolocktheSIMcardsocket. Makesureitisinstalledcorrectlyandclosethelidwiththescrews.

Note: When installing the cover screws, be sure to lock the screws tight, or it may affect the water resistance of the device!

Step 2：Install the Antenna
Remove the plastic cap from the antenna connector and screw the antenna clockwise.

Note: Do NOT connect the power supply when installing the antenna, as this may cause damage to the antenna circuit!
Step 3： Connect the Sensors Unscrew the protective cover of the connector and plug the sensor into the RS-485 connector.

When connecting the aviation connectors, align the widest groove on the male head to the position of the flat head, insert and tighten

Note:

It is recommended that you connect the sensors before connecting to the power supply. Or it the device might not recognize the sensors and requires a restart.
When using a splitter, each RS-485 interface cannot connect to sensors with the same Modbus address.
Each interface must be connected to sensors of the same voltage. For example, you can connect four 5V sensors to B1 port, while connecting four 12V sensors to B2 port, but do NOT connect both 5V and 12V sensors to the same port

Click “General Settings” and the configuration interface will pop up.
APN, APN username, APN password: Type in your SIM Card’s APN information.
Note: After completing the parameters, make sure to click “Write”.
Enabling “Enable GPS” will result in a longer connection time. After configuring the server information, if you want to use the SenseCAP Cloud again, follow the similar method: In the main interface, type the command line: enter b => enter 1, and select SenseCAP Cloud Platform.

Step 5: Power on the Device

Install antenna and SIM card, configure APN.
Ensure the device is turned off when installing the antenna to avoid damage.
Connect to the power adapter and turn on the device using the power switch.
- Initiation process: Up to 5 minutes, depending on sensor type\ and quantity.
- Data view: Check on the cloud platform.

Step 6：Connect the Power Cord
Unscrew the protective cover of the power supply connector, plug one end of the power extension cord into the power connector and tighten it, plug the other end of the power extension cord directly into the power adapter.

Step 7：View Data and Device Status on

Step 1：Configure the gateway
There are two ways to connect to the Internet. Choose the one that
worksfor you.

Connect to Ethernet Cable. Connect the Ethernet cable to the device, and the indicator on the topwill show solid green if the gateway is successfully connected to theinternet.
Connect to WIFI via Luci.
Note： If you have purchased Seeed’s gateway, you can perform detailed configuration according to the documentation below.

Step 2：Disassemble the Data Logger

Loosen the three screws of the Data Logger and remove the front cover.
The appearance diagram and pin correspondence table are as follows:
No.| Pin| Description
---|---|---

1

|

12V

|

External 12V input voltage. The Data Logger can be powered by an external 12V DC power supply.

When using 12V power supply, the battery will serve as backup power supply.

2

|

5V

| 5V output voltage, providing 5V voltage to the sensor.

3

|

3V

| 3V output voltage, providing 3V voltage to the sensor.
4| IO| Acquisition level or pulse input
5| V1| The voltage input of 0 to 10V is collected
6| V2| The voltage input of 0 to 10V is collected
7| A| RS485 A/+
8| B| RS485 B/-
9| I1| Collect the current input from 4 to 20mA
10| I2| Collect the current input from 4 to 20mA
11| GND| Ground pin
12| GND| Ground pin
3. Remove the threaded cap from the front cover, thread the sensor cable through it, pass it through the front cover, and connect it to the terminal

Step 3: Connect to the junction box

Prepare the following items: 12V DC adapter, Junction box, and 4-pin wire.
Wire to the terminal of the Data Logger
Connect the wires to the terminals of the junction box.
Attach the multi-function weather station’s cables to the junction box.
Connect the 12V DC adapter to the power supply.

Step 4 ：Connect to the Sensor

Wire sequence of ONE Compact Weather Station Sensor:

The device adopts an M12 8-pin connector, the different colored pins provide power and data communication (as shown in the above diagram).

When working with the RS-485, you can connect only 4 wires (not using a heating function), and the rest can be individually wrapped with tape to prevent short circuit.
The holes of the cable and the pins of the device connector must be aligned when the cable is plugged in.
Plugin the cable and tighten it clockwise
To complete the assembly.
Tighten the screws and screw caps to check the waterproofing. If the wire diameter is too thin, add waterproof tape for winding
Note : When assembling the device, it is necessary to install the waterproof pad of the Data Logger and the adapter box, and tighten the screw cap and screw, otherwise the waterproof effect of the device may be affected!
If the wire diameter is too small, it can be wrapped with waterproof tape, as shown below:

Step 5: Setup the S2100 — Connect to Sensor to App
