Pulsa PI001 Industrial Weight Sensor

The Pulsa PI001 Wireless Industrial Weight Sensor is a heavy duty, high accuracy sensor built to measure heavy consumable inventory in harsh environments. With a standard measurement range of 1500 lbs, a safe overload rating of 4000 lbs and an optional loading ramp, the PI001 can accommodate many uses. The sensor hardware is suitable for outdoor use and includes a water proof electronics enclosure and a highly durable powder coated finish on the steel components. The sensor measurement values are broadcast wirelessly to the Pulsa Gateway. Sensor data and setup is available through Pulsa iOS, Android, and web applications

Applications

• Liquid tanks: monitor liquid tank levels by installing under tank
• Other heavy consumables: pallets, IBC totes, welding wire, food & beverage bins, chemical drums, bulk materials, etc.
• Near real-time weight sensor

Use Instructions

1. Plug Pulsa gateway into power source and position within 350 feet of weight sensor
2. Ensure that the Pulsa gateway has direct line of sight with the weight sensor electronics module.
3. Download Pulsa mobile app (iOS & Android) or log into web app at dashboard.pulsasensors.com
4. Follow sensor and consumable set up in app

Getting Started

1. Plug in gateway Plug your gateway into an outlet within 350 feet of your sensor.
2. Log in to your account Download and launch the Pulsa iOS app, Android app, or web dashboard(dashboard.pulsasensors.com). Log in with an existing username and password or create an account with an invite card.
3. Install feet Flip the weight sensor over and install all four feet into the threaded holes on each load cell. Flip the weight sensor over onto feet and adjust feet to level weight sensor.
4. Add sensor to your account Scan the QR code with the Pulsa Mobile App and follow setup or click on “Initialize new sensor” on the Sensors page (either in the app or web dashboard) and enter the ID and serial number printed above and below the QR code on the side of your industrial scale.
5.  Connect sensor to product &stockpile After initialization, follow the prompts. Tell Pulsa what you’re tracking by connecting the sensor to a product in the catalog (which you can define on the spot) and add it to a stockpile (which you can create on the spot). If you get lost you can start over by clicking on the sensor name. You should now see theB sensor in your Pulsa dashboard.
6. Verify gateway Verify that your gateway is displaying a solid green light. It needs to be within 350 feet of your sensors, and takes roughly 5-10 minutes after turning the gateway on. Ensure that your scale housing (attached to the side of the scale with a Pulsa logo, QR code, and tare button) is directly facing the gateway for best results. Click on the circle icon in the top right of the Pulsa dashboard to see the last time the gateway saw your sensors.
7. Install ramp (Optional)Locate the electronics housing with the QR code and choose one of the other three sides to place the ramp. Place feet in open holes of Lbrackets. Slide the front lip of the ramp over the vertical leg of the L – bracket.
8. Tare sensor (if needed) After completing setup, confirm the sensor is level on a flat surface and check the sensor reading with no weight applied. If the reading is not zero, press the tare button to rezero the sensor.
9. Place your sensor Place your scale underneath your consumable product. Again, ensure that your scale housing (attached to the side of the scale with a Pulsa logo, QR code, and tare button) is directly facing the gateway for best results. Within 5-10 minutes you should see an update in the Pulsa dashboard.
