Quick Start Guide: FLEX-RP-B/FLEX-RP-B-LL Connect Battery Warnings Lithium Thionyl Chloride Batteries Sensys Networks uses Lithium Thionyl Chloride batteries in the following products: • SENSORS (VSN240-F, VSN240-T, VSN240-S, VSN240-M, VSN240-F-2, VSN240-T-2) • REPEATERS (RP240-B, RP240-B-LL, RP240-BH, RP240-BH-LL, FLEX-RP-B, FLEX-RP-B-LL) Open repeater Unlatch the two hinges. Open the repeater cover. Lithium batteries are widely used in electronic products because they contain more energy per unit-weight than conventional batteries. However, the same properties that deliver high energy density also contribute to potential hazards if the batteries are damaged. Improper use or handling of the batteries may result in leakage or release of battery contents, explosion, or fire. Following are the recommendations of the battery manufacturer for proper use and handling of batteries in the Sensys Networks devices mentioned above: • DO NOT CHARGE OR ATTEMPT TO RECHARGE THE BATTERIES (BATTERIES ARE NOT RECHARGEABLE) • DO NOT CRUSH OR PUNCTURE BATTERIES • DO NOT SHORT-CIRCUIT THE BATTERIES • DO NOT FORCE OVER-DISCHARGE OF THE BATTERIES • DO NOT INCINERATE OR EXPOSE BATTERIES TO EXCESSIVE HEATING • DO NOT EXPOSE BATTERY CONTENTS TO WATER • DO DISPOSE OF BATTERIES AND DEVICES CONTAINING BATTERIES IN ACCORDANCE WITH LOCAL REGULATIONS Sensys Networks sensors contain no serviceable parts and should never be disassembled. Installation and removal of sensors from pavement should only be done by trained personnel and care should be taken to insure that the sensor casing is not punctured or crushed. Connect Battery Connect battery cable to circuit-board connector (a). DO NOT PINCH OR STRESS CABLES. Wait approximately five seconds for LED lights to blink. Close cover; ensure wires are not caught in edges. Latch the two hinges securely. Additional safety information is available from the battery’s manufacturer: Sensor battery cell: http://ultralifecorporation.com/download/308/ Repeater battery cell: www.ewtbattery.com/en/DownView.asp?ID=9 1608 Berkeley CA CA 94710| 94710 | info@sensysnetworks.com info@sensysnetworks.com||PP510.548.4620 510.548.4620F F510.548.8264 510.548.8264 1608 4th 4th Street Street Suite Suite 200 200 Berkeley Quick Start Guide: FLEX-RP-B/FLEX-RP-B-LL Connect to Access Point Run TrafficDOT Select IP address Click the icon to start TrafficDOT2.

Config Notes • When an installation contains multiple repeaters with more than ten sensors, changing one or more repeaters from Current Config 0 to Current Config 1 allows the repeater to communicate with up to 20 sensors. Refer to Sensys Network VDS240 Wireless Vehicle Detection System TrafficDOT v2.10 Set Up and Operating Guide for more information.

Value(s) will not be updated until discover on. • If Discover Mode is off at connection time for TrafficDOT the Adv tab will display Not Set values. Turn on Discover Mode for true values to display. Refer to Sensys Network VDS240 Wireless Vehicle Detection System TrafficDOT v2.10 Set Up and Operating Guide for more information. Adv Tab Save Configuration If the repeater is connected to an external antenna, then it can be configured via the Adv tab. From the Antenna window, select either Upstream (to AP) or Downstream (to sensors) to configure the external antenna. Click Apply to accept configuration changes. Click SAVE at the top of the screen to save changes made to the access point. Note: Recommended setting for external antenna is Downstream (to sensors).

In cases where installed Sensys Networks wireless sensors are out of range of the nearest access point, one or more Sensys Networks repeaters can be used to provide a two-way relay between the out-ofrange sensors and the access point. A repeater is mounted by the roadside on a pole or other structure. The repeater is positioned so that both the sensors and the tandem repeater or access point are within view and within range. FLEX Repeaters are second generation repeaters from Sensys Networks that provide antenna options that extends the range of the repeaters and eliminates the need for additional repeaters operating in tandem. The FLEX-RP-B Repeater is powered with a replaceable battery pack located within the unit; however the FLEX-RP-B-LL Repeater does not have a replaceable battery. Both FLEX Repeaters utilize enhanced RF chipsets and circuitry that improves RF robustness and reduces energy consumption. FLEX Repeaters have an internal antenna and connect with the FLEX External Antenna. Antenna Options. The FLEX External Antenna connects to FLEX Repeaters via a coaxial cable. The antenna, which works in conjunction with a repeater, allows the repeater to be aimed in two directions simultaneously utilizing a pole located between the sensor and access point. Two types of FLEX External Antennas are supported: (i) the FLEX-ANT-1 with the same RF coverage as the internal antenna and (ii) the FLEX-ANT-2 with Long Range RF coverage. The FLEX family of repeaters work with the standard repeaters RP240-BH and RP240-BH-LL.
