TP-100-TH / AT-105 WIRELESS SENSOR

AT-105
The AT-105 (Asset Tracker) is a small, lightweight Bluetooth 5.0 location tracking beacon and environmental sensor. The AT-105 contains a 6-axis accelerometer, an integrated temperature and humidity sensor, and an ambient light sensor. It is powered by a single CR2450 coin cell.
TP-100-TH
The TP-100-TH (Temperature Probe) contains all the same feature sets of the AT-105, with the addition of of an external PT100 resistive temperature detector (RTD).
Unless otherwise noted, the instructions and specifications included in this manual apply to both product types.

COMPATIBLE GATEWAYS

The sensors are compatible with the following gateways manufactured by Electronics4All Inc.

Part Number I Description
GTW-BL100 Wireless Bluetooth 5.0 Receiver, LAN TCP/IP Communication,

Integrated Ambient Temperature and Humidity Sensor
GTW-BL200| Wireless Bluetooth 5.0 Receiver, 900 MHz LoRa WAN Long-Range Repeater Network, LAN TCP/IP Communication, Ambient Temperature and Humidity Sensor, PoE Compatible
P-GTW-BL300| Wireless Bluetooth 5.0 Portable Datalogger, Android X-Lab Database Application, Adjustable Sensor Reporting Interval

INTERFACES

OVERVIEW

PUSH-BUTTON
A single push button is located on the top of the sensor. The push-button is used to pair the sensor to a compatible Gateway. See the Pairing section for operation.
LEDS
Two LEDs (Red, Green) are located on the top of the sensor. The LEDs are used to indicate the status of the pairing operation, and to provide a visual indication when the sensor sends a wireless broadcast.

Operation LED Pattern
Device Reset Red (1 second), Green (1 second), OFF (1 second), Green (1

second)
Single Button Press| Red (1 second): Device Not Paired to Gateway Green (1 second): Device Paired to Gateway
Pairing| Red (1 second), Green (1 second): Successful Pairing Red (1 second): Unsuccessful Pairing
Unpairing| Green (5 seconds), Red (Fast Flashing), Then Device Reset

LIGHT SENSOR
An ambient light sensor is located on the top of the sensor. The light sensor reports the percentage of light exposed to the sensor, from 0% to 100%, where 100% is equivalent to approximately 220 Lux.
HUMIDITY AND TEMPERATURE SENSOR
The sensor contains an integrated humidity and ambient temperature sensor. The temperature measurement range is -40 °C to 120 °C (± 0.5 °C), and the humidity measurement range is 0 to 100% RH (± 3.5% RH).
Caution: If the liquid is allowed to enter the humidity and temperature sensor opening, damage to the humidity sensor may occur.
ACCELEROMETER
The sensor contains a 6-axis accelerometer and gyroscope with a default full- scale range of ± 16 g.

TEMPERATURE PROBE

The TP-100-TH is equipped with a PT100 platinum resistance temperature detector (RTD). The measurement range is -50 °C to 260 °C with a full range accuracy of ± 3 °C.
The supplied cable length is 100 cm (1 m). The sensing element is made of stainless steel with an average length of 30 mm and a diameter of 4 mm.

BATTERY INSTALLATION AND REPLACEMENT

The sensor is powered from a single CR2450 Lithium / Manganese Dioxide (Li/MnO2) battery.
Under normal operation, the internal battery should last for between 1.5 to 2 years using the default reporting interval of 5 minutes.
If a sensor fails to broadcast, one of the LEDs no longer lights when pressing the push button, or the sensor appears to continually reset, the battery should be replaced.
RECOMMENDED BATTERY PART NUMBERS
The following battery manufacturers are recommended by Electronics4All Inc.

Manufacturer Part Number Capacity
Energizer ECR2450 620 mAh
Sony / Murata CR2450 610 mAh
Panasonic CR-2450EL 620 mAh

CR2450 batteries from other manufacturers may be used, however, it should be noted that their capacity may be lower and/or the internal impedance of the battery may be higher, both of which will result in a reduced runtime of the battery compared to those in the above table.
REPLACEMENT INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Remove the two (2) 4-40 Phillips machine screws on the sides of the enclosure.

  2. Lift off the lid of the enclosure.

  3. It is recommended to lift off the push button top and set it aside, as it may fall off when removing the battery.

  4. Pry up the battery at the far end of the battery holder. It is recommended to use a non-metallic tool.

  5. Snap the new battery into the battery holder. The sensor will reset, indicated by an LED pattern on the two LEDs.

  6. Reinstall the push button top.

  7. Replace the enclosure lid and re-install the two (2) 4-40 Phillips machine screws.

  8. Push and release the button to test the button operation. The red LED should turn on for 1 second.

Two (2) screw mounts are provided on the sides of the enclosure to secure the sensor. The openings support 8-32 screws.

PAIRING

PARING STATUS
To determine if the sensor has been paired with a Gateway, press and release the push button. If the green LED turns on for 1 second, the sensor is paired with a Gateway. If the red LED turns on for 1 second, the sensor is not paired with a Gateway.
PAIRING A SENSOR TO A GATEWAY

  1. Place the target Gateway in Pairing Mode by pressing and releasing the PB1 push button on the Gateway. The green COM LED will turn on.
  2. Press and hold the push button on the sensor. The red LED on the sensor will turn on for 1 second. Release the push button on the sensor when the LED turns off.
  3. If the pairing was successful, the green LED on the sensor will then turn on for 1 second, and the green COM LED on the Gateway will turn off.
  4. If the pairing was not successful, the green LED on the sensor will not turn on and the green LED on the Gateway will remain on. If this occurs, reattempt step 2.

UNPAIRING A SENSOR TO A GATEWAY
To unpair a sensor from a Gateway, press and hold the push button. After 5 seconds, the red LED will start to flash rapidly. The push-button may then be released. The sensor is now no longer paired to the Gateway.

PROGRAMMING

Both the AT-105 and TP-100-TH support over-the-air (OTA) firmware programming to install updates to the sensor. Contact Electronics4All Inc. for details.
