Powering an End Device
A Wireless Sensor Pod must have lithium batteries installed to become an End
Device. An End Device reports data from the internal and external sensors to
the host appliance, but does not extend the wireless network or pass data to
other End Devices.
Power End Devices last to preserve battery life. Battery life is estimated at
up to 5 years under normal use.
Once its extended address is added to the commission list in the Advanced
View, and the lithium batteries are installed, the pod is automatically configured
as an End Device.
To configure a Wireless Sensor Pod as an End Device:
1. Mount the pod using the instructions in “Mounting the Wireless Sensor
Pod” on page 10.
2. Ensure the extended address of the pod is added to the commission list in
the Advanced View.
3. Install the provided lithium batteries into the battery compartment.
Note: It is highly recommended you use the provided lithium
batteries when installing the Wireless Sensor Pod. When necessary,
replace the batteries with only the same battery type.
