Activation of smart industrie sensors

This tutorial focuses on the activation of LoRaWan and SIGFOX smart industry sensors:

    - Pulse and Pulse ATEX (ARF8230)

    - Temp/Temp2S (ARF8180-81)

    - Delta P (ARF8377)

    - Analog and Analog Power (ARF8090-91)

    - Temp/Temp2S (ARF8180-81)

    - Dry Contact (ARF8170)

    - Modbus (ARF8240)

    - TIC (ARF8250)

Your sensor is delivered in PARK mode, in which case it is in standby mode and its power consumption is minimal. 

There are two ways of activating this sensor: using a magnet or locally using our IoT configurator tool.

Activation via magnet : 

Once your sensor has been configured and mounted, it is ready to be started.

It is activated using a magnet attached to the top of the product. The magnet must be held in position for at least 6 seconds to confirm that the product has started.  The green LED lights up for 1 second to indicate that the magnet has been detected and then flashes rapidly as the product starts up. 

Once the product has validated its start-up, it transmits its configuration frames and then, after the set transmission period, a data frame.

At the end of this tutorial, you'll find a video showing how to activate a product and the different LED sequences. 

Activation via IoT Configurator : 

Once your sensor has been configured, you can also activate it and replace it on the body of the box. This must be fixed beforehand so that the sensor starts up at its installation point.

To start the product, you need to change the operating mode in the ‘General configuration’ tab.

As the sensors are delivered in PARK mode, you must select PRODUCTION mode.

Then click on ‘SEND TO SENSOR’ (top right) to confirm the sensor settings. 

A popup window appears to confirm application of the settings, click on ‘OK’. 

Finally, the confirmation message below validates the import of the change of operating mode  

All you have to do is click on ‘DISCONNECT’ (top right) and the sensor begins its activation sequence.

Once the product has validated its start-up, it transmits its configuration frames and then, after the defined transmission period, a data frame.

At the end of this tutorial, you'll find a video showing the activation of a product and the different LED sequences.
