    Sensor and its C5000 and C5001 accessories. When other sections of this manual are referenced, italics are used. The Sensorsoft Real-Time Water Flooding Sensor may be referred to as a Water Flooding Sensor, Sensorsoft device, SSD (Sensorsoft Soft Device), sensor or device throughout this manual.

  • Page 5: Overview

    Figure 1: The SS6201J communications module with 10 foot gray lead-in cable (left) and C5000 20 foot purple water sensitive rope cable (right). A two position connector is used to connect these products together after installation.
  • Page 6 Figure 2: Photo of the C5001 water sensiing spot detector. It has a two pin electrical connector and white (14 foot) lead-out cable that plugs into the SS6201J communications module. Two mounting holes allow the C5001 to be fastened down with screws or rivets.

    If it needs to be cleaned, do so with a damp cloth or better a vacuum cleaner. Connect the RJ-45 end of a C200x cable to the jack of the SS6201J. Connect the other end of the C200x cable to your serial port, device server or appliance. You can locate the SS6201J up to 1000 feet from the serial port.

    Sensorsoft Real-Time Water Flooding Sensor User’s Manual Connect the SS6201J and C5000/C5001 Plug the two position female connector of the SS6201J into the two position male connector on the C5000/C5001. CAUTION - Be careful to locate the junction of these two connectors away from prying eyes and hands.

    UTP is recommended. Firmware Version: 2.01 Communications Protocol: Sensorsoft Device Protocol (SSDP) Version 2.0 and Version 3.0. For software that supports only Version 2 of the protocol an interval polling method is used. For software that supports Version 3 of the protocol a real-time method is used.

    This includes model SS6201J. Figure 5: Illustrates a J-suffix Sensorsoft device that accepts a cable with RJ-45 plug. The 2.1 mm power jack is only used if the serial port does not have enough voltage to power the sensor.
  • Page 14 Sensorsoft Real-Time Water Flooding Sensor User’s Manual The Sensorsoft device modular-jack connector uses the same UTP wire map as 10-BASE-T. It is therefore possible to use this type of cabling system for Sensorsoft devices. PIN-OUT OF THE MODULAR 8 POSITION JACK/PLUG ON A SENSORSOFT DEVICE Note: Terminal No.
  • Page 15 Sensorsoft Real-Time Water Flooding Sensor User’s Manual Figure 6: The C2000 cable is used to connect a J-suffix Sensorsoft device to most computers or devices that have a DB-9M serial port. The DB-9F end of the cable plugs into a DB-9M serial port. The RJ-45 end of cable plugs into the SSD.

    NULL bytes In order to make use of the port-powered feature of the Sensorsoft device, you must enable serial port lines DTR and RTS when the port is opened. A delay of 1-2 seconds is required after opening the serial port before any commands are sent to the Sensorsoft device.
  • Page 17 Sensorsoft Real-Time Water Flooding Sensor User’s Manual Sending SSDP commands to the Sensorsoft Water Flooding Sensor Each command packet your host sends to the Sensorsoft device must be in the following format: <CMD-byte> <PACKETlength-bytes> <ADDRESS-bytes> <ARGUMENT-byte> <CRC-bytes> CMD-byte A single byte command indicating the desired action you want the Sensorsoft device to perform.
  • Page 18 A two byte (16 bit) Cyclic Redundancy Check. This placeholder is filled with CRC bytes calculated by the Sensorsoft device on the entire packet from the RESPONSE byte to the last DATA-byte. These bytes allow the host to verify the integrity of the response packet. You may choose to use or ignore these bytes depending on your programming skill or application.
  • Page 19 A “logic one” condition on any of these bits indicates the condition is set or active. Otherwise, they are reset to “logic zero”. It’s a good practice for the host to check the status of the Sensorsoft device regularly in case a bit status changes.
  • Page 20 Sensorsoft Real-Time Water Flooding Sensor User’s Manual Reading the SSDP ID Record Every Sensorsoft device (SSD) accepts an identification (ID) command in order to uniquely identify the type of SSD currently connected. The model number and description can be extracted from the SSD’s ID response, allowing application software to determine the specific model of the SSD and to configure the software appropriately.
