Important: A Layer N Smart Interface is required to connect your SP-003/SP-004 to SYNC configuration software. For a list of available Smart Interfaces, visit the Omega website.

Before you Begin

Important: If you would like to take advantage of the SP-003/SP-004’s plug-and play feature, simply connect the Smart Probe to your Gateway with your preferred Smart Interface or wireless transmitter to begin displaying sensor readings. To configure the software adjustable features, continue following this quick start guide.

To fully configure the SP-003/SP-004, ensure the following prerequisites are met:

Ensure SYNC is downloaded, setup, and running before continuing.
Ensure you have a Layer N Smart Interface compatible with your Smart Probe and your computer running SYNC.

Connecting your Smart Probe & Interface

Step 1: Connect the SP-003/SP-004 to your Smart Interface.

Note: Locate the position of the keyway as a guide on the SP-003/SP-004 prior to making the connection.

Step 2: Connect the Smart Interface to your computer.

SYNC Auto-Detect

Once the SP-003/SP-004 is connected to your computer, SYNC will automatically detect it and begin displaying sensor readings.

Note: If you have successfully connected your SP-003/SP-004 to SYNC, skip ahead to THB Interface or Temperature & Humidity Interface.

SYNC Manual Connection

If SYNC does not automatically detect your device, follow these steps:

Step 1: Click on the icon located on the top left of the SYNC interface.
Step 2: Select End Device / Probe and click Next.

Step 3: Select your Communication Interface type from the dropdown and set your preferred Command Timeout, Device Address, and Device ID / Port.

Step 4: Click Finish.

THB Interface (SP-003 Only)

The SP-003 provides readings for temperature, humidity, and barometric pressure. The SP-003 also offers discrete I/O. To use these features, follow these steps:

Step 1: Click the Inputs Configuration Tab on SYNC and choose your input type from the Type drop down.

To access the discrete I/O, click the relevant input type from the Type drop down that lists DIO.

Temperature & Humidity Interface (SP-004 Only)

The SP-004 provides readings for temperature and humidity. The SP-004 also offers discrete I/O. To use these features, follow these steps:

Step 1: Click the Inputs Configuration Tab on SYNC and choose your input type from the Type drop down.

To access the discrete I/O, click the relevant input type from the Type drop down that lists DIO.

Setting Alarms

Alarms are set by clicking the icon in SYNC on the desired input signal found in the Inputs configuration tab. Setup the threshold and alarm type in the Condition section and then select which output to turn on in the Action section. The alarm can be set to be latching or non-latching in the Recovery section.

ON/OFF Control

To configure ON/OFF Control on a device, navigate to the O utput Configuration Tab in SYNC and click on the icon located to the right of the available outputs. Clicking the icon will open the Define ON/OFF Control dialog box as seen below. Choose the input with the active alarm that you would like to control and set your preferred parameters.

The Setpoint establishes the target process value and the Deadband establishes the range from the Setpoint that the process value can accept before the output is activated. When Reverse control is selected, the output is on when the process value is below the Setpoint. When Direct control is selected, the output is on when the process value is above the Setpoint. Once the ON/OFF Control parameters have been set, click save to finalize the settings.
