• 2x AA Alkaline Batteries
• Antenna

Additional Materials Needed

• Layer N Gateway
• Any device with web browser access
• A registered user account with cloud.omega.com
• Micro USB 2.0 cable
• SYNC Configuration software
  -Downloadable on the OMEGA website
• PC or Laptop with an open USB port running SYNC

Components of the Layer N SS-002

Note: The battery compartment is located on the underside of the sensor unit.

Before you Begin

Before you begin setting up your SS-002, ensure the following prerequisites are met:

• Navigate to cloud.omega.com on any device with a web browser and sign in to your account.
• Ensure your Layer N Gateway is powered on  and connected to your registered Layer N Cloud  user account.

Layer N Smart Sensor Setup

Step 1: Install the antenna to the side of the connector on the Smart Sensor.
Step 2: Connect your external thermocouple, RTD, or dry contact sensor if applicable.

& Pin 3
3-Wire| Color 1| Color 2| Color 1
4-Wire| Color 1| Color 2| Color 1
Dry Contact| Switch| Not Used| Common

Note: For RTD connections, Pin 3 is the excitation constant current source.
For 2-Wire RTD connections, a short copper wire is needed form Pin 1 to Pin 3.
For 4-Wire RTD connection, only connect one “Color 2” at Pin 2. The second Color 2 needs to be cut.

Step 3: Insert 2x AA batteries into the battery compartment.
Important: The battery polarity is marked inside the compartment. Promptly remove dead batteries to prevent loss of data and potential damage due to leaking batteries.

The Pairing Button of the Smart Sensor will power up to a solid orange LED light in the center of the pairing button indicating that the device has been successfully powered on.

Connecting to your Layer N Gateway

Once the Pairing Button displays a solid orange LED light in the center of the pairing button, your Smart Sensor is ready to be connected to a Layer N Gateway.
Step 1: Push the pairing button once and the LED will begin to flash green (for up to 2 minutes).
Step 2: Quickly push the pairing button on the Gateway once and its LED will also flash green.

When the Smart Sensor has been successfully paired to your Layer N Gateway, the green LEDs on both devices will stop flashing within 2 minutes. The Smart Sensor LED will flash green each time data is sent to the gateway.
As measurements are transmitted, you will begin to see data appearing on the Layer N Cloud interface. The transmission interval can be adjusted from the Layer N Cloud interface.

Note: The number of measurements displayed depends on the type of sensor purchased and the frequency of measurement updates depends on your Layer N Cloud subscription level.

Layer N Cloud Interface

Once your smart sensor has successfully paired your gateway and smart sensor, your smart sensor will appear on the Layer N Cloud interface and begin transmitting data.

The transmission interval can also be adjusted from the Layer N Cloud interface.
Step 1: From your Layer N Cloud homepage, click on the Smart Sensor whose transmission interval you wish to adjust.

Step 2: Click the Settings icon.
Step 3: Adjust the Sensor Properties to fit your configuration needs.

Congratulations! You have successfully connected your Layer N Smart Sensor to your Layer N Ecosystem.
For additional information on the customizable features made available through the micro USB connector, continue to the sections titled Smart Sensor USB Connector and Advanced Configuration with SYNC.

Smart Sensor USB Connector

The SS-002 Series of Layer N Smart Sensors come standard with a micro USB 2.0 connector. The USB connector can be used to power the device to activate Range Boost mode and can be used to configure the device using SYNC configuration software.

Range Boost Mode
When powering the device by USB for North American models, the Smart Sensor will also enter a Range Boost mode which will enhance the wireless range or coverage of the Smart Sensor up to 3.2 km*.

*Clear line of sight. Actual range may vary depending on environment.

Advanced Configuration with SYNC

Note: SYNC configuration software is downloadable on the OMEGA website. A micro USB 2.0 cable is required to configure the SS-002 through SYNC.

Sensor Mix Configuration
To configure the sensor mix in your SS-002, connect a micro USB 2.0 cable from your Smart Sensor device to your PC or laptop running SYNC configuration software.
Step 1: Once your device has been auto-detected by SYNC, click the Type dropdown in the Inputs interface.

The SS-002-0 offers a configurable choice of one external thermocouple, RTD, or DIN (contact closure).
The SS-002-1 offers a configurable mix of any three of the four internal sensors: Temperature, Humidity, Barometric Pressure, Ambient Light, AND one external sensor option: Thermocouple, RTD, or DIN (contact closure).

Setting Alarms
To configure the alarms in your SS-002, connect a micro USB 2.0 cable from your Smart Sensor to your PC or laptop running SYNC configuration software.
Step 1: Click the icon next to the input you wish to set an alarm for.
Step 1: Set the parameters for your alarm and click Save.

Data Logging through SYNC
To access the local data log of your Smart Sensor using SYNC, connect a micro USB 2.0 cable from your Smart Sensor to your PC or laptop running SYNC configuration software.
Step 1: Click Capture Data to access SYNC’s local data logging feature.

Once you are on the Capture Data interface of SYNC, SYNC will begin logging your sensor data.

Clicking this icon will allow you to extract the data your sensor has accumulated and will present it to you in SYNC.
Clicking this icon will allow you to save the real-time and logged data that SYNC is displaying for your smart sensor and exports it as a .csv file.

For more information on the features available on SYNC, refer to the SYNC User’s Manual on the OMEGA website.
