Intended Use 3.1 Operating Environment 3.1.1 Gateway 3.1.1.1 Deployment Environment The SG3-1010 (Shown in Figure 3.1) and SG3-1012 gateways are designed for indoor use only in a dry environment, away from water. Gateways used outdoors without proper protection may void their guarantee. While Series 3 gateways currently do not carry an IP- Rating, Swift Sensors offers IP67-rated NEMA enclosures as optional accessories for outdoor use and for use in an...

    Figure 4.6 Labeling Space 4.1.2.4 Sensor-Specific Installation Guidance Below is sensor-specific mounting and installation guidance that discusses unique considerations for each sensor model. As explained in Section 4.1.2.2, all sensor enclosures share the same basic mounting options, but guidance is needed for external probes and special features of unique sensor models. All sensor models below carry an IP-rating of IP66 unless otherwise specified.

  • Page 12 SS3-105 The SS3-105 Remote Temperature sensor is typically used to monitor temperature inside equipment such as a walk-in cooler, refrigerator, or freezer. The temperature measurement is made from the capsule at the end of a 1-meter (3.25’) probe. Mount the sensor enclosure on the side of the equipment or on a nearby wall with two mounting screws (optimal) and place the metal temperature sensing element at the end of the probe in the desired location.
  • Page 13 lead and the provided rigid, Stainless Steel Immersion probe which contains the sensing element. These probes are available in different lengths (100 / 150 / 750 / 1000mm). Probe diameter is 3mm (<1/8”) for probe lengths < 500mm (1.6’), and is a 6mm (<1/4”) diameter for probe lengths >500mm (1.6’). Immersion probes are generally placed into the measurement medium and left alone, but mounting may be supported with zip-ties as needed.
  • Page 14 SS3-109 SS3-109 is a Water Detection Rope sensor. A 3-meter (~10’) lead comes attached to the sensor enclosure, with a 3-meter orange water detection rope which connects to the 3-meter lead with a waterproof connector. The 3-meter lead allows for more placement options of the actual water detection rope. For water presence to be detected, the water detection rope must see at least 10% or 0.3 meters (1’+) of saturation.
  • Page 15 location of the desired measurement, and mount the sensor in a safe environment (-40C to +60C) as advised in Section 4.1.2.2. Although the gland can withstand +125C, the sensor enclosure is limited to +60C due to the use of batteries. Stainless steel gland is shown below with dimensions for placement strategy (Figure 4.18). SS3-116 The SS3-116 High Temp has a 1-meter (3.25’) stainless steel-braided cable for holistic exposure to high- temperatures, such as BBQ pits, fire pits, and any situation where the cable may also be exposed to extreme...
  • Page 16 SS3-301 The SS3-301 Door Sensor operates using a remote magnet, which trips the attached switch capsule to determine the door’s state (open/closed). The sensor enclosure is mounted on a wall near the door being monitored. Both switch and magnet capsules have adhesive for easy mounting on the door frame and door.
  • Page 17 SS3-605 The SS3-605 4-20mA Current Sensor has a 1-meter (3.25’) cable connected to the sensor enclosure, terminating with red and black leads. The red lead connects to a terminal block, or any preferred method of connection to the current loop Positive (+). The black lead connects to a terminal block, or any preferred method of connection to the current loop Negative (-).
  • Page 18 Figure 4.22 SS3-612 The SS3-612 0-10Vdc Sensor has a 1-meter (3.25’) cable connected to the sensor enclosure, terminating with red and black leads. The red lead connects to positive (+), and the black lead connects to negative (-) or GND. The two most typical applications for this sensor are DC Voltage Monitoring and Industrial/Transducer Monitoring.
  • Page 19 Wire connections, similarly to the SS3-612, will be made directly to provided terminals on an object of measurement, or can be connected “wire-to-wire” if necessary for the application. Leads may also be soldered into place for permanent installations if needed. SS3-617-30/100/200 The SS3-617 family are Sensors with 1-meter cables (2-meters for SS3-617-200) which connect to high-quality current transformer clamps (“CTs”), which arrive pre-calibrated.
  • Page 20 board receptacle (Figure 4.24). It may also be removed using a thumb and index finger, applying a pulling force. It may help to add lateral force to the pulling force to “wiggle” the connector out gently. (Figure 4.25) Note: When the external connector is removed, Hardware Alerts may be triggered on an existing measurement, due to loss of connection.

Please reference the included literature for desired mounting once flanges are installed.
  • Page 27 6.1.1.2.2 NEMA Enclosure for both Gateway + Cellular Modem (SG3-1010/1012 + SG3-CNM-01) The larger size NEMA gateway enclosure can accommodate a Series 3 Gateway (SG3-1010 or 1012) and a cellular modem. Swift Sensors recommends this to be purchased with equipment already installed. Figure 6.7, 6.8 shows all the different items inside the enclosure, and Figure 6.9 shows the external components of this enclosure.

    NOTE: Cellular Modem Mount + Antenna Mounts come pre-installed even in the assembly kit. Mounting: The Larger NEMA enclosure that can house the cellular modem accessory and a gateway comes with a hardware pack similar to the SG3-NEMA-1010 enclosure. Instead of mounting flanges, the hardware pack contains 4 brackets with 4 screws.

    6.1.2 Sensor Accessories 6.1.2.1 Thermal Buffer Bottles (Polyethylene Glycol/Glass Bead) Thermal buffers are used on temperature sensors for two reasons; first is to avoid transient temperature swings and second is to have a uniform medium as a reference. This improves accuracy and keeps alerts toa minimum, without missing critical temperature swings.
