COmmuNiCaTiON SENSOr
S10-BT
Technical Specification Nr.: TS.0001.04.EN, October 2016
The communication sensor S10-BT is designed primarily for the creation of the
communication channel between the devices equipped with optical interface
according to the standard ČSN EN 62056-21 and DLMS/COSEM on one side
and software application on the other side. Optical interface according to the
standard ČSN EN 62056-21 is provided by various devices from the ZPA Smart
Energy portfolio (electricity meters, ripple control receivers, communication
modules, ...).
The sensor S10-BT transfers optical signals in the infrared spectrum (modulated
by serial interface) to the virtual serial port Bluetooth (SPP). It enables wireless
communication with galvanic separation. It includes optoelectronic transmitter,
receiver, accumulator, Bluetooth module and microprocessor for communication
control.
Integrated toroid magnet enables to attach the sensor S10-BT to the surface of
the device in a way that enables removal and, at the same time, centre optical
interfaces.
The equipment could be delivered with following accessories: a cover of the
optical interface, USB cable for charging the accumulator, neck cord with a
snap hook, loop for connection of the sensor and cover to the snap hook. As
optional accessories can be ordered mains charger (230 V) - must be specified in
order. For reliable sticking of the communication sensor to the optical port of the
electricity meter the cover of the optical interface connected with the neck cord
with a snap hook must be removed from the communication sensor.
The sensor S10-BT is charged through a micro USB connector (5 V=); therefore,
it is possible to charge the accumulator from any PC or other standardized
equipment with USB connector.
The sensor S10-BT is activated by pressing the push-button. If the sensor is
idle for a longer period of time (no communication takes place), it goes to the
sleep mode again. Length of the period depends on the level of charging of the
accumulator; in case of full charging for approximately 5 minutes.
The sensor S10-BT is equipped with a set of indication LEDs:
●
Orange – charging of the accumulator.
●
Lit – charging of the accumulator via USB interface.
●
Fast flashing – zero voltage or disconnected accumulator.
●
Green – the device is ON (flashing).
●
Blue – signalling of active communication (flashing).
●
Red – discharged accumulator and other failure conditions.
●
Flashing – low level of voltage of the accumulator (in case of critically
discharged accumulator, the sensor is switched off immediately).
●
Lit – error mode.
