     Leveraging Power of Wireless®       Manual SenzaBlock SB110-NTC                          1                                    SenzaNET-Release: V4.0.1 1 SenzaNET SenzaBlock is always operated as part of a wireless device network running the SenzaNET protocol. This chapter gives a basic overview of SenzaNET, the devices involved, terminology and features. Please refer to your SenzaWMS manual for more detailed information.  1.1 Communication in SenzaNET The  gateway  (SenzaCoordinator/SenzaGate)  is  the  network  master,  responsible  for  all communication to/from the wireless network. Hence, all communication to any network node is done through the gateway. This is possible either via the SenzaWMS, the SenzaNET programming interface or through Field-Bus interfaces.                                Fig. 1 SenzaNET System Overview
                                                          Leveraging Power of Wireless®              Manual SenzaBlock SB110-NTC                            2                                   SenzaNET-Release: V4.0.1 1.2 Network Elements 1.2.1 SenzaBlock SenzaBlock  represents  the  basic  component  of  SenzaNET.  SenzaBlock  has  mesh  networking capabilities and can interface with devices (e.g. sensors, actuators) at the same time.  SenzaBlocks  are  available  from  E-Senza  Technologies  in  different  variations  for  a  multitude  of applications. As adapter-devices or built-in modules, they enable  all kinds of sensor and actuator devices to be controlled wirelessly and exchange data through a self-organizing wireless mesh network with ultra-low power consumption.  1.2.2 Gateway SenzaNET  supports  integration  of  the  Wireless  Network  with  existing  systems  or  products  through the gateway. You always need a network master to communicate to or from the SenzaBlock. It can be a SenzaCoordinator or a SenzaGate. They not only support Network Layer functionality but also provide interfacing to upper layers.  The  gateways  are  available  for  a  multitude  of  industrial  interfaces:  Ethernet,  Serial,  Modbus, Profibus etc.  1.2.3 SenzaWMS SenzaWMS is  the software-suite accompanying SenzaNET. It  provides a very friendly user-interface for a comfortable administration of the wireless network and monitoring of each individual node. With  SenzaWMS,  multiple  networks  can  be  managed  in  parallel,  networked  devices  can  be  re-configured, alarm messaging and data acquisition are automated. Comprehensive software-APIs and data-export options allow seamless integration into existing IT-infrastructures.    2 SenzaBlock SB110-NTC SenzaBlocks of the SB1x0 product family are integrated measurement transducers and wireless data transmitters.  They  provide  interfaces  to  standard  sensors  and  field  devices  allowing  them  to communicate wirelessly using SenzaNET.  2.1 Features SenzaBlock SB110-NTC is designed for Temperature measurements using a Thermistor sensor.   2.2 Installation 2.2.1 Mechanical Installation SenzaBlock’s  standard  enclosure  can  be  wall-mounted  using  two  screws  of  4  mm  diameter.  See photo and drawings below to locate the screw holes. After mounting SenzaBlock and completion of electrical  installation,  make  sure  the  cable  gland  is  properly  closed  and  the  front  cover  is  fixed firmly using its four screws.       Important: Check cable gland, front screws and proper sealing of enclosure to      ensure adequate closure !    If no cable is used out of the SenzaBlock, the cable gland will not close properly.       Therefore a blanking plug MUST be fitted into the Cable Gland to obtain                       ingress protection !

Just  plug  antenna  onto  connector and  turn  it  in  clockwise  direction  until  it  is  fixed tightly.  Loose  fixing  of  the  Antenna  might  affect RF-performance of SenzaBlock.       An  Antenna  cable  (not  included)  is connected  to  the  onboard  U.FL connector  located  on  radio  board. Avoid  mechanical  stress  to  the  cable connection, since RF-performance will be  affected  in  case  connector  is  not fixed properly.

Refer to pictures below to follow the sequence of installing these parts.                2.2.2.2.4 SB110-NTC with internal antenna  (order-code SB110-NTC-I)                   For best RF performance SenzaBlock has to be kept or mounted at the highest possible place             (2m height is ideal) with the external antenna pointing to ceiling or sky. When using  the internal antenna, optimal  performance  is reached  when  axis of antenna is oriented horizontally and the antennas surface is in upright position.  See following picture:                   Please  note  that  whenever  you  open  and close the enclosure,  do not  forget  to  check the antenna cable which is connected to the onboard  U.FL  connector  located  on  radio board and to the internal antenna inside the cover of the enclosure.

All configuration change are done remotely through SenzaNET. Such  configuration  is  done  through  the  networks’  gateway.  You  can  either  use  the  SenzaWMS software-suite to do this or send AT-commands to the gateway.  Please refer to the SenzaWMS Manual and/or the SenzaNET Programming Manual.
