1 Product Description 1.1 Overview The Comfort/Vivid is a versatile LoRaWAN IoT sensor in a compact form factor, ideal for monitoring and reporting temperature, humidity, light, shock and open/closed doors and windows in an indoor environment. Additional sensing features such as leak and motion detection, as well as counting pulses from an external device, are also supported with the appropriate model.
Figure 1-1 illustrates the Comfort/Vivid Sensor functional variants. Both variants share the same external dimensions (42mm x 42mm x 17mm). COMFORT VIVID Figure 1-1: COMFORT/VIVID models. 1.2 Physical Interfaces Figure 1-2 illustrates the customer accessible interfaces for the Comfort/Vivid Sensor. All models share the same layout, though only functional interfaces are exposed in the case of each model.
1.3 Specifications The Comfort/Vivid Sensor specifications are listed in Table 1-2. Table 1-2: Comfort/Vivid Sensor Specifications Parameter Requirement Use environment IP 3X Indoor commercial/residential only 0°C to 60°C Operating temperature 10°C to 40°C for optimal battery life -30°C to 60°C Storage temperature 0°C to 30°C for optimal battery life...

Precautions. 2.2 Unpacking and Inspection The following should be considered during the unpacking of a new Comfort/Vivid Sensor: 1. Inspect the shipping carton and report any significant damage to TEKTELIC. 2. Unpacking should be conducted in a clean and dry location.
When PIR has stopped detecting motion for more than five minutes 2.6 Reconfiguration The Comfort/Vivid Sensors support a full range of OTA configuration options. Specific technical details are available in the corresponding document. All configuration commands need to be sent OTA during the sensor’s DL Rx windows.
2.7 Comfort/Vivid Sensor Mounting Comfort/Vivid Sensor is designed to be mounted using the supplied mounting bracket. The bracket can be attached using screws (not included) or double-sided tape (included). 2.8 External Connector Cable Installation The Comfort/Vivid Sensor with external connection installation requires connection to an external device trough the 2-pin connector on the top of the sensor.
2.9 LED Behaviour See Figure 2-5 for the location of the sensor LEDs described in Table 2-2. Figure 2-5: The Comfort/Vivid Sensor external connector signals. Table 2-2: LED Behavior Step LED Behavior Meaning Both LEDs briefly on Power On LEDs turn off...
3 Operation, Alarms, and Management 3.1 Temperature and Relative Humidity Transducer The Comfort/Vivid contain a temperature and relative humidity (RH) transducer. Vents on the enclosure allow air to contact the transducer. Response time can be reduced by forcing air to move over the vent as in Figure 3-1.
NOTE: Higher sample rates enable the detection of shorter acceleration events but consume more battery power. 3.3 Ambient Light Transducer The Comfort/Vivid Sensor models feature an ambient light sensor located on the top surface, measuring light intensity through a light pipe. Figure 3-2: Ambient light sensor...
The Vivid Sensor should be mounted so that the subjects move across its FoV and not towards or away from the Sensor. 3.5 Magnetic Switch The Comfort/Vivid sensors contain a magnetic switch. The location of the switch is shown in Figure 3-3. Figure 3-3: Magnetic switch...
The Comfort/Vivid Sensor can be configured to activate based on the state of this switch and to report after a user-configurable count of switch events. To activate the switch, a magnetic field of about 10 gauss (1 milli-tesla) must be applied to the edge of Sensor.

= is the thermistor resistance at temperature T, which can be obtained as 1800 − where V is the reported voltage from the sensor in mV. COMFORT/VIVID Smart Room Sensors User T0006338_UG Version 2.0 Guide TEKTELIC Communications Inc.
The physical connector and its mating connector of the External Connector are listed in Table 3-2. The Comfort/Vivid Sensor is not supplied with an external connection jumper cable. The link in Table 3-2 is a suggested cable. It is the customer's responsibility to modify the cable harness for their application.
4 Battery Replacement The Comfort/Vivid Sensor is powered by a standard CR2477 coin cell. Warning The Kona Comfort/Vivid Sensor contains a coin cell battery. Do not ingest battery, Chemical Burn Hazard. If a battery is swallowed, it can cause severe internal burns in just 2 hours and can lead to death.

Push the cell into the holder until it hits the closed end of the holder. • Check for LED activity. If the LEDs are lit, the battery replacement was successful. • Replace the sensor cover and insert the two screws.
