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 !

Leveraging Power of Wireless® Manual SenzaBlock SB110-NTC 4 SenzaNET-Release: V4.0.1 2.2.2 Electrical Installation 2.2.2.1 Connecting Sensor and Power-supply SB110-NTC must be powered with 2 x 1,5V “AA”-type batteries. Battery holder and sensor are connected to SenzaBlocks pins as in table below. Sensor connection cables have to be lead through the enclosures cable glands before being connected. Pin No Pin Name Pin Type Description Comments 1 GND GND Battery Ground 2 Batt_In Battery Input Battery Supply Positive (+3V). Battery Voltage must not exceed 3V 3 Sensor - VCC Output VCC for Sensor Red strand of sensor cable 4 Data Input NTC Input Brown strand of sensor-cable 5 GND – Sensor Output GND for Sensor Black strand of sensor-cable Table 1 Connector Details 2.2.2.2 Antenna Connection 2.2.2.2.1 SB110-NTC OEM-module (order-code SB110-NTC-O) 2.2.2.2.2 SB110-NTC with IP54-enclosure (order-code SB110-NTC-E54) SenzaBlock’s IP54-enclosure comes with a reverse-SMA antenna connector (“male”) and an applicable IP54 Antenna. 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.
Leveraging Power of Wireless® Manual SenzaBlock SB110-NTC 5 SenzaNET-Release: V4.0.1 2.2.2.2.3 SB110-NTC with IP65-enclosure (order-code SB110-NTC-E65) Additionally to the installation of an IP54-Antenna, SenzaBlock’s IP65-enclosure requires to add a sealing-washer and a sealing-rubber before putting antenna onto connector. 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.
Leveraging Power of Wireless® Manual SenzaBlock SB110-NTC 6 SenzaNET-Release: V4.0.1 2.2.2.3 Software Configuration SenzaBlock’s must be authenticated in SenzaNET and software-configured before data is transmitted. 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.
Leveraging Power of Wireless® Manual SenzaBlock SB110-NTC 7 SenzaNET-Release: V4.0.1 3 Troubleshooting Problem Possible Reason Possible cause Remarks SenzaBlock not powered Low Battery Check Battery Voltage Nominal battery voltage is 3V, minimal battery voltage is 2,4V. In case of empty battery use Energizer L91 1.5V AA Batteries for best performance. No Connection to SenzaBlock or Reverse Polarity or Connections at the Wrong Pins Check connection as per Table 1 Connecting the power supply at the wrong Pins can damage the SenzaBlock!! Battery level dropping very fast SenzaBlock not in Network Check network connection SenzaBlock will consume battery faster, if it has to scan for the Network. See Below to section SenzaBlock not connecting to Coordinator No Sensor Value No Sensor Connected Check the Sensor Connection as per Table 1 Wrong software-configuration Select the right Sensor Type for the SenzaBlock from the Edit Window in the Status Tab of SenzaWMS or re-send AT-Command (AT+1) SenzaBlock not connecting to Coordinator Antenna Connection not proper Check antenna connection No power or low Battery Voltage Check Battery SenzaBlock is denied to access the network. The user has denied the access of that specific block into one specific network (for one gateway) via SenzaWMS or with AT Commands. Delete SenzaBlock from the network, then re-try
