3. Do not discard the shipping box or inserts as they will be required if a unit is returned
for repair or re-configuration.
2.4 Commissioning and Activation
Each sensor has a set of commissioning information that must be entered into the network
server in order for the sensor to be able to join the network and begin normal operation once
activated. For instructions on how to do this please refer to the Network Server Quick Start
Guide (available online in the Knowledge Base) [4].
The sensor is shipped in a secured enclosure with the battery preinstalled. In the case of AA-cell
variants, the battery is disengaged by a pull tab. To activate an AA-cell variant, simply remove
the battery pull-tab.
In the case of C-cell variants, the device is shipped in a state of deep sleep. The included magnet
can be used to wake the sensor from sleep by applying the magnetic activation pattern at the
location specified on the device in Figure 1-4. The magnetic pattern is illustrated in Figure 2-1. A
“magnet presence” is achieved by attaching the magnet to the enclosure at the magnet symbol.
A “magnet absence” is achieved by taking the magnet away from the enclosure. Figure 2-1
shows that the pattern involves sustaining a “magnet presence” continuously for at least 3 s but
less than 10 s.
Figure 2-1: The C-Cell Sensor Variant Magnetic Activation Pattern
When any sensor variant is activated it will display an LED indication (described in Section 3.3)
to show that it is beginning to join the network. It may take up to 10 seconds between the time
of activation and the beginning of the LED join attempt pattern.
