SEC+ and L-DCIM Product Manual

Network

This is an important part of the wireless sensor configuration: here you can specify the sensor's
packet sending, keep-alive and data collection periods.
For battery-only type sensors, you should use longer intervals to keep the sensor's internal batteries
working for longer. If the voltage drops below the critical level, your sensor will stop working. Using
longer data transmission settings, the battery would be good for approx. 10 years, but their life can be
considerably shortened if you specify very short packet transmission times.
Device keep-alive packet:
This parameter defines how often the wireless sensor will send a notification data packet to the SEC+
indicating it's still online and working, along with non-critical sensor and graph data. The more
wireless sensors you have, the longer the keep-alive parameter should be to avoid packet collisions.
This parameter has big effect on battery life, therefore it's recommended to use USB type sensors if
quick data polling and fast graphing is required.
You may also force-send a keep-alive packet by pressing the Mode button on the sensor.
Note: the wireless sensor's edge counter value is only sent with the keep-alive packet.
