Chapter 5 General specifications Chapter 5 General specifications The information in this manual has been compiled with great care and to the best of our knowledge. The manufacturer, however, assumes no liability for any incorrect specifications that may be provided in this manual.
5.4 Ex protection The portable BLE Sensor module is designed for use in areas with a zone 1 explosive atmosphere. The following conditions must be observed: Only the manufacturer is permitted to open the housing to carry out maintenance work, which must only be completed outside the Ex area.
Chapter 5 General specifications Important note: The manufacturer's products that are designed for use outdoors include extensive protection against penetrating moisture and dust. 5.5.1 Use of the hazard warnings DANGER: Indicates a potential or threatening hazardous situation that will result in death or serious injuries if not avoided.
Do not install the device in any other way to the one described in the operating instructions. Improper use will invalidate the warranty. 5.6 Overview Right side of the BLE Sensor module Bottom of the BLE Sensor module 1 Magnet 2 Gas sensor Rev.
The device is a compact, portable instrument designed to be operated in wastewater systems to determine gas concentrations. An electrochemical sensor is located inside the BLE Sensor module . The sensor is subject to wear and must therefore be calibrated every 6 months. Depending on the application and sensor type, the service life of the sensor can be up to 3 years.
The specifications in this manual only apply to variants of the BLE Sensor module detailed in chapter "Technical data" on page 15. The type plate of the BLE Sensor module is located on the bottom of the module and contains the following specifications:...
5.11 Storage of the product The BLE Sensor module comprises no special transport mode. The capacity of the installed batteries is dimensioned in such a way that the max. service life of the sensor (1-3 years depending on the type of sensor module) is covered.
BLE Sensor module The device is a portable measurement instrument approved for Ex zone 1 for determining gas concentrations. Current measurement values can be read out of the BLE Sensor module via the Bluetooth connection (Bluetooth Low Energy).

6.1.3 Calculation of the trimmed gas measurement value The calibrated gas measurement value determined during the previous step can also be slightly adjusted (trimmed) during this step. For this purpose, the determined slope and offset are used for the trimming process (see "Trimming"...
An RMA number is mandatory for any returns and can be obtained from the Support & Service Centre (see "Contact information" on page 83). The return shipment of the BLE Sensor module must occur in the original packaging and with freight and insurance paid to Microtronics Engineering GmbH (see "Contact information"...
8.1 Dimensions Dimensions: Depth Dimensions: Width and height 8.2 Installing the BLE Sensor module Important note: Ensure installation is completed correctly. Comply with existing legal and/or operational directives. Improper handling can cause injuries and/or damage to the instruments.
8.2.1 Inserting the sensor module in a data logger When using the BLE Sensor module in conjunction with a compatible data logger, the module is inserted in the sensor recess of the logger as illustrated in the following figure. It is designed in such a way that it cannot be inserted incorrectly.

We still recommend that the BLE Sensor module is first placed into operation in the office before moving the device to the place of use. Take the opportunity to get to know the functions of the device in a stable environment.
10.1 General The DeviceConfig configuration program can be downloaded free of charge from the following website: www.microtronics.com/deviceconfig The tool is used for configuration, maintenance, fault analysis and synchronisation purposes. It is compatible with all myDatanet devices equipped with a USB interface, wireless M-bus interface or Bluetooth Low Energy.
10.3.1 USB BLE-Adapter The USB BLE-Adapter (300685) is not included in the scope of delivery of the BLE Sensor module . It is required because standard PCs and laptops often do not have a Bluetooth Low Energy interface that is necessary for communication with the BLE Sensor module .
The following chapter describes the installation process in Windows 7. 1. Execute the "InstDeviceConfig.exe" file to start the installation process. Note: Only connect the device or USB BLE-Adapter (300685) to your PC once the installation process has completed as the required drivers are only installed during this process.

3. Connect the USB BLE-Adapter (300685) to a free USB port on your PC. From Windows Vista onwards, the driver will be installed automatically. Instructions on installing the driver on older versions of Windows are included in the user manual for the DeviceConfig ("myDatanetDeviceConfig Manual "...
"Settings" menu item 10.5.1.1 Options The settings for the COM ports to which the USB radio transmitter (206.657) or the USB BLE-Adapter (300685) are connected can be specified and the automatic search for the available firmware versions can be activated or deactivated via the "Settings -> Options" menu item.
10.6 Establishing a connection to a sensor module with Bluetooth Low Energy interface The USB BLE-Adapter (300685) is required to establish a connection to a sensor module with a Bluetooth Low Energy interface. First of all complete the steps described in chapter "Installing the drivers for the USB BLE-Adapter "...
Page 52
Note: To ensure a stable connection, the wireless signal level should be higher than -90dBm , i.e. for example -85dBm . This is achieved by reducing the distance between the sensor module and the USB BLE-Adapter , and avoiding obstacles such as walls and similar. Rev. 03...

10.8 "Trim" tab DANGER: Extreme caution is required when handling calibration gases! If you are under the impression that based on the operational demands, the calibration of the sensor is no longer entirely correct, this can be compensated by the trimming process. This means that the time until the next scheduled calibration can be bypassed.

Regularly check the BLE Sensor module for mechanical damage. Clean the BLE Sensor module with a soft, moist cloth. Use a mild cleaning agent, if necessary. Important note: Due to the electrostatic effects, the BLE Sensor module must not be rubbed with cloths in the Ex zone.
12.2.1.1 Safety instructions for handling H2S gas DANGER: Extreme caution is required when handling calibration gases! Hydrogen sulphide is a neurotoxic substance that can cause poisoning and even death depending on the concentration. It has the following effects on humans: ~ 0.1ppm: Odour threshold from 20ppm: Corneal damage following prolonged exposure approx.

6. Ensure that 0 ppm is selected for the lower reference point. Wait one minute before pressing the button to set the lower reference point. You can use the timer integrated in the interface to determine the amount of delay that remains. An acoustic signal is issued once the timer has elapsed. During this one- minute delay, it must be ensured that the gas concentration in the calibration room is 0 ppm (extraction active and all of the valves on the gas cylinders are closed).
