Lynx Smart Satellite Sensor Kit Installation and User Guide The Lynx Smart Satellite Sensor (LSSS) Kit receives data from flow, temperature, and pressure sensors, as well as switches and rain buckets. The data is stored in the satellite and relayed to the Lynx computer. User-defined alarms and responses can be configured in Lynx when operating in Central Mode, or locally when in Local Mode. • Sensor data is stored in the satellite for 12 hours and transmitted back to Lynx every 2 hours.
PAGE 3
LSSS Preparation The sensor input board must be installed in the next available slot in the satellite. For example, with a 16 station satellite, the sensor input board must be located at the 17-32 station board location. If all slots are filled, the last station output board must be removed. The LSSS board has 8 output stations on it. If your satellite was originally a 64-station satellite, you are replacing the last 8 stations with sensor inputs.

Sensor Configuration - Lynx ! Sensor configuration can either be done at the satellite in Local Mode or at a Central computer running Lynx. If communication is established between a satellite and a Lynx system, the Lynx system will overwrite all locally defined sensor configuration information. Meaning, if operating a Lynx system, the sensors must be configured with Lynx. Configuring Sensors It is possible to add and configure sensors from the Central computer running Lynx.

7. Select the desired sensor from the dropdown list. Enter the various limits and Qualification times (Figure 3). For an explanation of these terms, please see the Sensor Configuration section above. Figure 4 Checking the Use Local Response checkbox turns on a switch in the satellite containing the sensor board for a timed duration. Reviewing Sensor Data It is possible to review sensor information in realtime or historically. Realtime: Click Utilities then Sensor Dashboard.
