Lithium Batteries
Sensys Networks uses Lithium Thionyl Chloride batteries in the
following products:
• SENSORS (VSN240-F-2/M-2/MP-2/T-2 series)
• REPEATERS (RP240, FLEX-RP, and FLEX-RPT3 series
(contains additional 18650 Li-Ion batteries))
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:
FlexRepeat3 Solar Installation Parts
A FlexRepeat3 Solar assembly requires a single
FlexRepeat3 Solar and the mounting kit.
• DO NOT CHARGE OR ATTEMPT TO RECHARGE THE
BATTERIES
• 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.

Quick Start Guide: FlexRepeat3 Solar Repeater
Turn On Repeater
Unscrew Power Jumper Cap
Remove Red Jumper
Unscrew the black cap to expose the red jumper and LED indicator.
Remove the red jumper (a) and place the jumper on one pin (b). Wait approximately
five seconds for LED light to blink red to ensure unit is turned on. After ensuring the
unit is properly turned on, screw on the black cap.
WARNING: DO NOT open repeater. Removing top could damage unit.
Note: To turn off, return jumper to original position.
For Use of External Antenna Only
Unscrew the metal cap for the external antenna cable outlet (a) and discard (b).
Note: If the FlexRepeat3 Solar is not used with a external antenna then do not remove cap.

Quick Start Guide: FlexRepeat3 Solar Repeater
Mount FlexRepeat3 Solar on Pole
Ensure at least one
solar panel has
access to the optimal
available sunlight.
Mount The FlexRepeat3 Solar
Assemble the mounting kit onto the pole. Attach mounting arm to the mounting plate. Attach the FlexRepeat3 Solar to the mounting
arm with the Towards Sensors side facing the sensors and access point or supporting repeater. Ensure the mounting arm is
tightened so the repeater cannot move. Note that the mounting arm can be oriented to adjust the location of the FlexRepeat3 Solar.
Connect External Antenna (Optional)
Connect to one of the external antenna options with a coax cable. Two options are supported: (a) the FLEX-ANT-1
with the same RF range as the internal antenna and (b) the FLEX-ANT-2 with Long Range RF range. Point the
external antenna towards the sensors. The roles of the internal and external antenna can also be switched.

• When an installation contains
multiple repeaters with more than
20 sensors, changing one or more
repeaters from Current Config 0 to
Current Config 1 allows the access
point to communicate with up to
40 sensors through the repeaters.

• A failsafe error message occurs should you
choose the external antenna option when there
is no external antenna installed.
• If FlexRepeat3 Solar is installed with or
without the external antenna, and the Antenna

antenna is used for both To AP and To Sensors
channels.
• If Discover Mode is not ON the following
warning will display: Advanced setting values
shown are either not set or last known current
value because discover not on. Value(s) will
not be updated until discover turned on.
• If Discover Mode is OFF at connection time
for TrafficDOT the Adv tab displays Not Set
values. Turn Discover Mode ON for true values
to display.
