Before you Begin

Before you begin setting up your SS-002, 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-002 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-002 installation.

SS-002 Hardware Setup

1. Install the antenna to the side of the connector on the SS-002 unit.
2. Insert the 2x AA batteries into the battery compartment located on the underside of the SS-002 unit.

Layer N SS-002 Overview

The battery polarity is marked inside the compartment. Promptly remove dead batteries to prevent loss of data and potential damage due to leaking batteries.

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" wire at Pin 2. The second "Color 2" wire needs to be cut.

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:

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-002 with a Layer N Gateway is made easy with a onebutton pairing system between the two devices.

1. Push the pairing button once on your SS-002 unit. The LED status indicator will blink green indicating the device is in Pairing Mode.
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-002 has successfully paired to your registered Layer N Gateway, the SS-002 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-002 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.

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.

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 using SYNC, follow these steps:

1. Click the icon next to the input you wish to set an alarm for.
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-002 by navigating to the Device Settings tab of SYNC configuration software.

SS-002 USB Powered Range Boost

Range Boost Mode

When the SS-002 (-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*.
