SP-016
Omega Link Heat Flux Smart Probe

Introduction

Use this Quick Start Guide to set up your Omega Link SP016 Heat Flux Smart Probe.
For additional information regarding your SP-016, refer to the User Manual available on the OMEGA website.

Materials

Included with your SP-016

• SP-016 Unit
• Quick Start Guide

Additional Materials Needed

• An M12-S-M-FM screw terminal accessory
• Heat Flux sensor such as OMEGA HFS-5
• An Omega Link Smart Interface
• A Windows 7,8, 9, 10, or 11 OS PC or laptop with
• Omega’s free SYNC configuration software
• A compatible Omega Link Gateway
• An Omega Link Cloud account or a qualifying Omega

Enterprise Gateway license tier (Pro, Business, or Business Pro)

Optional Materials

• M12.8-T-SPLIT Sensor Splitter (For DIO access)
• M12.8.S-M-FM Screw Terminal Accessory (For DIO access)
  Important : An Omega Link Smart Interface is required to connect your SP-016 to SYNC configuration software. For a list of available Smart Interfaces, visit the Omega website.

Before you Begin

Users must have a registered Omega Link Cloud account or a qualifying Omega Enterprise Gateway (OEG) license to complete the setup process and view sensor data.
For Omega Link Cloud setups, the user will need to first register an Omega Link Gateway to the account before the Smart Probe and Smart Interface can be paired.
If the Omega Link Smart Probe will be paired wirelessly with an IF-006, the Omega Link Gateway firmware must be updated. Omega Link Gateways update automatically upon first-time setup. For instructions on how to manually update Omega Link Gateway firmware, refer to the Omega Link Gateway User’s Manual.
Important : If the user intends on pairing the Smart Probe using an Omega Link IF-006 to an existing Omega Link Gateway, it is required to update the Gateway firmware to version 1.0.9 or higher to ensure the Gateway and IF-006 communicate and operate correctly.

Heat Flux or TC Sensor Connection

Use the provided 4-Pin wiring diagram to connect your heaflux or TC sensor to your SP-016 or to the optional M12-S-M-FM screw terminal accessory.

Connecting your Smart Probe & Interface

Step 1: Connect the SP-016 with thermocouple or RTD attached to your Omega Link Smart Interface.
Note: Locate the position of the keyway as a guide on the SP-016 prior to making the connection.
Step 2: Connect the Smart Interface with Smart Probe attached to a computer running SYNC configuration software.

| Name| Function
---|---|---
Pin 1| DIO 0| Discrete I/O Signal 0
Pin 2| INTR| Interrupt Signal
Pin 3| SCL| I2C Clock Signal
Pin 4| SDA| I2C Data Signal
Pin 5| Shield| Shield Ground
Pin 6| DIO 1| Discrete I/O Signal 1
Pin 7| GND| Power Ground
Pin 8| 3.3VDD| Power Supply

Discrete I/O

If the Smart Probe discrete I/O will be utilized, an M12.8T-SPLIT and an M12.8-S-M-FM will need to be connected between the Smart Interface and Smart Probe. Refer to the previous pin diagram and the diagram below to connect the accessories:

Smart Probe SYNC Configuration

The Smart Probe can be configured using Omega’s free SYNC configuration software. Once the SP-016 is connected to the computer, SYNC will automatically detect it and begin displaying readings.

Heat Flux Sensor Configuration

The SP-016 provides heat flux measurements in W/m2. The
SP-016 also offers discrete I/O. To use these features, follow these steps:

Step 1: Click the Inputs configuration tab on SYNC and choose the Heat Flux input type from the Type drop down.
Note : Refer to your heat flux sensor data sheet for Sensitivity, Gain, and Offset values. Units for Sensitivity are measured in: mV/(W/m2)To access the discrete I/O, click the relevant input type from the Type drop down that lists DIO.

Thermocouple Configuration

The SP-016 provides interfaces to type J, K, T, E, N, R, S, B, and C thermocouples with the capability of enabling or disabling the open detect feature. To use these features, follow these steps:’

Step 1: Click the Inputs configuration tab on SYNC and choose an input type that includes TC from the Type drop down.
Step 2: Click the input you wish to configure and select your thermocouple type from the Device Range/ Type drop down.
Step 3: Click the Open Detect drop down and choose to enable or disable it.

Cold Junction Calibration

The SP-016 has automatic Cold Junction Compensation and is factory calibrated so that in most cases it needs no adjustment. However, for increased accuracy, Cold Junction Calibration can be performed as described below.
Step 1: Ensure your thermocouple has been configured in the previous section and click Calibration beneath the input interface.

Step 2: Insert probe into 00C reference and allow it to stabilize. Once the Thermocouple is stable in a 00C (320F) environment, click Calibrate.

Pairing a Sensing Device

Refer to either the Wireless Pairing or Wired Pairing instructions as applicable:
Wireless Pairing
Pairing your wireless Smart Interface (IF-006) and attached Smart Probe is made easy with a one-button pairing system between the IF-006 and the Omega Link Gateway.
Step 1: Push the pairing button once on your IF-006. The LED Status Indicator will blink green indicating it is in Pairing Mode.
Step 2: Quickly push the pairing button on the Omega Link Gateway. The LED on the Gateway will blink green indicating the Gateway is in Pairing Mode.
When the IF-006 has been successfully paired to the Omega Link Gateway, the LEDs will stop blinking on both devices.
Wired Pairing
Wired Smart Probes connected directly to an Omega Link Gateway with an IF-001 cable or IF-002 will need to be added to the Gateway Internal User Interface.
The Connected Devices tab is the default page set once you are signed into the internal gateway UI. From here, you can add devices to your gateway to have them appear in your Omega Link Cloud account.

To add a device to the gateway from the internal gateway web UI, begin by clicking the Add button at the top right of the web page and fill out the Add Device menu according to the device specifications.
For more information regarding wired or wireless pairing, refer to the Omega Link Gateway User’s Manual available on the Omega website.
Once the SP-016 has been successfully paired to an Omega Link Gateway the device may be placed in its final sensing location. Readings will transmit to the Omega Link Cloud or OEG according to the rate set in the Omega Link Cloud or OEG settings and subscription tier.
