OMEGA SS-001 (-NA) Layer N Environmental Smart Sensor User Manual

OMEGA SS-001 (-NA) Layer N Environmental Smart Sensor

Introduction

Important: Do not power on the Layer N Gateway or Smart Sensor before Gateway registration is complete.
Use this Quick Start Guide to set up your Layer N SS-001 Environmental Smart Sensor.

Materials

• Included with your SS-001
  • Layer N SS-001 unit
  • Quick start guide
  • 2x AA alkaline batteries
  • Sub GHz Antenna
• Additional Materials Needed
  • A Windows 7,8, 9, 10, or 11 OS PC or laptop with Omega’s free SYNC configuration software
  • A compatible Layer N Gateway
  • A Layer N Cloud account or a qualifying Omega Enterprise Gateway license tier (Pro, Business, or Business Pro)
• Optional Materials
  • Micro USB 2.0 (for SYNC configuration)
  • SYNC Configuration software
  • Downloadable on the OMEGA website

Before you Begin

• Before you begin setting up your SS-001, ensure you have created a Layer N Cloud or Omega Enterprise Gateway account and registered the Layer N Gateway that will be paired with the SS-001 device.
• During the gateway setup process, the gateway will automatically download the latest firmware and re-boot. Once the gateway is registered and the pairing button LED is green you may continue with the SS-001 installation.

SS-001 Hardware Setup

• Step 1: Install the antenna to the side of the connector on the SS-001 unit.
• Step 2: Insert the 2x AA batteries into the battery compartment located on the underside of the SS-001 unit.

Important: The battery polarity is marked inside the compartment. Promptly remove dead batteries to prevent loss of data or 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. Refer to the LED Status indicator table below:

SS-001 is reconnecting to a paired Gateway

Green (flash periodically)| SS-001 is communicating to a Gateway
Green (solid)| SS-001 is performing a radio firmware update
Red (solid)| The reset button has been held for a radio factory reset
Red and Green (blinking)| A password error has occurred
No Light| The SS-001 is asleep or the battery is drained

Pairing 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. Pairing your SS-001 with a Layer N Gateway is made easy with a one-button pairing system between the two devices.
  • Step 1: Push the pairing button once on your SS-001 unit. The LED status indicator will blink green indicating the device is in Pairing Mode.
  • Step 2: Quickly push the pairing button on the Layer N Gateway. The LED on the gateway will blink green indicating the gateway is in Pairing Mode.
• 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 periodically flash green each time data is transmitted to the gateway.
• As measurements are transmitted, you will begin to see data appearing on the Layer N Cloud or OEG interface. The transmission interval can be adjusted from the Layer N Cloud Interface or from the OEG interface, depending on which platform the Gateway is connected to.

View Readings on Layer N Cloud or OEG

• Once your SS-001 has successfully paired to your registered Layer N Gateway, the SS-001 will appear on the Layer N Cloud interface or the OEG interface and begin transmitting data.

• For additional information on the customizable features made available through the micro USB connector, continue to the sections titled Advanced Configuration with SYNC and Smart Sensor USB Connector.

Advanced Configuration with SYNC

Note: SYNC configuration software is downloadable on the OMEGA website.
The SS-001 can be configured using SYNC configuration software by connecting through the micro USB 2.0 port. SYNC can be used to configure alarms in the sensor, set device passwords, and update firmware.

• SS-001 Sensor Configuration
  The SS-001 internal sensors offer fixed readings for temperature, humidity, and barometric pressure. Gain and Offset settings can be configured by clicking Advanced Scaling in the SYNC interface.

• Setting Alarms
  To configure the alarms in your SS-001 using SYNC, follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Click the icon next to the input you wish to set an alarm for

  • Step 2: Set the parameters for your alarm and click Save.

SYNC – Device Settings
Users can perform functions such as firmware updates and factory resets of the SS-001 by navigating to the Device Settings tab of SYNC configuration software.

SS-001 USB Powered Range Boost

Range Boost Mode
When the SS-001 (-NA) device is powered directly by a micro USB 2.0, 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.
