smaXtec PAMPE2 Sx.2.1 Climate Sensor

Specifications

Product Name: Climate Sensor SX.2.1
Manufacturer : smaXtec

ACTIVATION

Activation in the smaXtec Messenger
First, add the Climate Sensor to your organization in the smaXtec Messenger via “Boluses & Devices”. Use the serial number printed on the side label and add a name in the „Add device“ screen. The location of the device is suitable as a name, e.g. „calving area“, „dry cow barn“ or „fresh cows“. Ensure that your smaXtec Base Station SX.2 is activated and ready for use before starting the activation of the Climate Sensor.
Establish power supply BATTERY CHANGE
The Climate Sensor comes with two built-in AA alkaline batteries. To change the batteries, remove the unit from the wall and place it on a table or another flat surface. Make sure the area is dry. Then, open the integrated battery compartment on the side using a flat object, such as a coin. Only use 1.5V AA alkaline batteries, not lithium batterie
Observe blinking pattern

Information: To deactivate the Climate Sensor, please hold a magnet to the X-area of the label. If the device is deactivated, the LED flashes red 5 times at 0.5 second intervals.

Selection of suitable position and mounting

MOUNTING

Select an appropriate spot for the Climate Sensor. Consider the following aspects:

Alignment: The Climate Sensor has to be mounted vertically.
The position should allow air circulation to the measurement port on the front of the Climate Sensor.
Note range: up to 100m/300ft from the smaXtec Base Station.
Avoid construction elements between Base Station and the Climate Sensor that reduce range.
Note height: ideally 2–3m/8–10ft (out of reach of cows)
Select neutral locations that are representative of the barn climate to generate clean data (no direct sunlight, no water source close by)

After selecting a suitable position, you can mount the Climate Sensor. You will need four screws. Mount the device in the desired position using a cordless drill.
