2. Getting Started
The SmartOne Device
Batteries
The SmartOne is powered by, and comes with, four installed Nickel Metal Hydride(NiMH) batteries. The
battery compartment is not accessible for the user and, in fact, the batteries are not replaceable. Since
the unit is designed for the solar panels to recharge the batteries, the user never needs to worry about
replacing the batteries. The SmartOne will provide 8+ years of maintenance-free operation.
Turning On and Off
The SmartOne ships with a magnetic switch
that will shut down the unit if installed. To turn
the SmartOne unit on, remove the magnet and
it will begin monitoring the asset.
NOTE: If the asset is going to be stored indoors
for extended periods of time, the SmartOne
should be shut down by installing the magnet to
avoid draining the batteries.
Commisioning
Before installing the SmartOne unit, record the serial number and identify the asset to which it will be
mounted. Since the serial number is etched on the mounting surface of the SmartOne unit, it is not visible
after installation.
Installation
The SmartOne unit must be mounted on the asset with a clear view of the sun and sky. The device
requires a flat surface area of 17.78 cm x 8.26 cm (7" x 3.25"). The ideal configuration is facing up on a
flat horizontal surface.
The SmartOne unit can also be mounted on a flat vertical surface but this may reduce the communication
reliability, decrease the maximum sustainable messaging rate, and may reduce the GPS location
accuracy.
