SENSOR1 - INSTALL GUIDE#

Product Image

Introduction#

About This Guide#

This guide provides instructions for installing the Sensor1, an Amatis wireless environmental sensor. In addition to the step-by-step installation process, this guide provides instructions on how to configure the Sensor1, as well as some basic troubleshooting steps.

Product Overview#

The Sensor1 is a wireless environmental sensor, capable of sensing occupancy, light levels, temperature, and humidity. It connects to wireless networks via the Amatis Border Router (AMBR).

  • Occupancy and vacancy detection.
  • Light level monitoring for daylight harvesting applications.
  • Temperature and humidity sensing for data collection.
  • Cloud connection via AMBR, uploading real-time data from your site to the Amatis config app.

Installation#

Parts List#

Before getting started with the installation process, it's important to make sure all the necessary components are included. Here's what should be found inside the box:

  • (1) Sensor1
  • (4) Sensor Blinders

Placement#

Follow these guidelines when deciding on where to install the Sensor1:

  • The Sensor1 should be installed so it has a clear line of sight to the area it is monitoring.
  • Avoid installing the Sensor1 near moving machinery, air vents, or fans, which could trigger false detections.

  • Ensure the Sensor1's height is appropriate for the area needing coverage to avoid blind spots or unnecessary coverage outside the desired area.

    Sensor Height

    High Bay Sensor

    When using a high bay sensor, the sensing cone is 30°.

  • The Sensor1 should be installed within 200' of an AMBR or other wireless node.

    Distance Limitations

    The Amatis system supports communication ranges up to 200' (does not apply to wall switches) with a clear line of site. Obstacles such as walls or floors will impact the communication ranges significantly.

Sensor Blinders#

The Sensor1 comes with blinders to mask areas that should be ignored by the sensor. Install and adjust the blinders to cover areas such as doorways or windows if you want to exclude traffic or external movements.

Wiring#

The Sensor1 has two wires for a low voltage 24V DC input.

Note

The input wires are polarity protected, either can be positive or negative.

Labeling & MAC Capture#

After installing any Amatis wireless device, it is imperative to note the device ID with the associated load/fixture/device. This is how the devices will be identified in the programmed. It is also a good idea to label any Amatis load controllers with the load they are controlling.

Note

The device ID can be found on the device’s packaging or the device itself.

Initial Setup#

Necessary Parts#

Review the following list to ensure all necessary parts are available:

  1. An active AMBR within communication range of the Sensor1.
  2. Active power to the Sensor1.

Device Configuration#

Perform the following steps to configure the device:

  1. Open up the Amatis App and navigate to the site.
  2. Open the Devices table and ensure a device with the ID noted in the previous step is active.

The device is now ready to be added to a location and programmed with the Amatis App.

Updating Firmware#

Perform the following steps to update the device's firmware:

  1. Open up the Amatis App and navigate to the site.
  2. Open the Devices table and find the device to be updated.
  3. Make sure the "Firmware Version" column is visible. If the firmware is out of date, it will show a yellow alert and yellow text.

  4. Click on the out of date firmware to request a firmware update.

    Note

    Depending on how out of date the firmware is, the programming may need to be synced to the devices after a firmware update.

Basic Troubleshooting#

Perform the following steps for basic troubleshooting of the device:

  1. Verify the device is operating normally using the LED Troubleshooting Matrix below.
  2. Verify the sensor is detecting motion by looking at the LED while moving underneath it.
  3. Power cycle the device by turning off the low voltage source, and turning it back on 30 seconds later.

LED Indicator Troubleshooting#

Use the following table to troubleshoot specific issues with the device based on the LED indicators:

LED Troubleshooting Matrix
LED Color SOLID FLASHING OFF
Green Device communicating normally, no motion detected n/a No power to device
Orange Device communicating normally, motion detected n/a No power to device
Green/Orange n/a FAST: Device is booting
SLOW: Device unable to communicate with an AMBR		 No power to device

Normal Operation

BOLD description indicates normal operation.
