3. Conguring The Cellular Gateway
The cellular gateway collects data from all sensors within range and is precongured
to batch deliver the sensor messages to the online system at the specied heartbeat
(every 5 minutes by default factory settings).
You can access gateway settings by clicking on “View Gateways” in the top bar of the
“Overview” page. Clicking on a gateway in the list, opens the detail view. Click on the
“Edit” tab to access the gateway’s settings.
3. Using Your Monnit Wireless Sensors
Insert Batteries Into Wireless Sensors
Important: Make sure your sensors are at least 3ft. away from Ethernet Gateway.
Peel back the black sticker cover of the battery slot and slide the coin cell battery into
the sensor as shown in g.1. It will power on within 10-20 seconds. Once online, your
sensor is ready to be deployed. If you wish to change a sensor conguration, change the
parameter in the software. The new parameters will be transmitted to the sensor on the
next heartbeat. If you need a more immediate response from the sensor, power cycle the
sensor by removing, then re-inserting the battery.
Notes:
- If the sensor status indicator does not change, reset
the sensor by removing the battery.
- Wait 60 seconds then re-insert the battery.
- When inserting the battery, make sure to push the
battery all the way back using a paper clip.
- Note the proper orientation of battery in g.1
Warning: Your sensors ship with a 10 minute heartbeat.
It is recommended that unless you are using the AA battery
solution, you should set the heartbeat to no faster than one hour to preserve battery life. When
changing a sensor’s heartbeat, the new conguration information will be sent to the sensor on it’s next
heartbeat. If you want to update the sensors immediately you can reset them manually.
Manual Sensor Reset Process:
1 - Using the end of a paper clip, push the batteries out of the sensors through the small hole
in the top of the sensor
2 - Change the sensor heartbeat through the online system
3 - Re-insert the batteries into the sensors
