NPE BLAST User Guide NPE 05-20-14
NPE’s BLAST sensor platform is intended for use with ANT connected networks and devices. These self-
contained BLAST based sensors are capable of measuring physical events via on-board sensors. The
sensor data can be logged in non-volatile memory and/or transmitted on ANT/ANT+ networks. The
device is powered by a single CR2032 coin cell battery and is intended to be replaced once depleted.
Required Equipment
BLAST sensor device
CR2032 coin cell
ANT network connectivity
In-situ sensory mounting apparatus
Typical installations based on application
Vibration Sensing
Bond sensor to object/surface of interest. Ensure no metallic objects impede RF transmission. This
application detects vibration to determine its state of operation and/or state of wear & tear.
Light Sensing
Bond sensor to surface whose light level is of interest. Ensure no metallic objects impede RF
transmission. The purpose is to quantify light levels incident on the board sensor. This determination
can be used to sense reflective objects or measure incident lux.
Magnetic Field sensing.
Bond sensor to object whose bearing is of interest. Ensure no metallic objects impede RF transmission.
The purpose is to determine the orientation/ bearing of an object.
Pairing Pod – RSSI measurement
Ensure minimal obstruction between BLAST and ANT transmitter. RSSI measurement is used to
determine proximity of ANT devices or to identify a specific ANT device by proximity.
Analog sensing
Place sensor near device of interest. Ensure no metallic objects impede RF transmission. One example
is measuring a Polar pulse signal and re-broadcasting in ANT format.
FCC Rules
Compliance Statement (Part 15.19)
The enclosed hardware device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) This device must
accept any interference received including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Warning (Part 15.21)
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by North Pole Engineering could void the user’s
authority to operate the equipment. Manufacturer is not responsible for any radio or TV interference
caused by unauthorized modifications to this equipment.
Compliance Statement (Part 15.105(b))
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may
cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference
will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help
Industry Canada (IC) regulatory information
