Regulatory Information
Notice to Users:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the
FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is
operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required
to correct the interference at his own expense.
FCC Statement:
This 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. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could
void the user's authority to operate the equipment. The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must not be co-located or
operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
Antenna Statement:
Only the antenna supplied with this unit may be used. Any attempt to modify this antenna or substitute a different antenna
by any means shall void the warranty and will void the FCC approval to operate this equipment. In the event an antenna is
broken, a replacement antenna may be obtained by contacting the Product Support Center listed in the warranty section of
this manual.
CE Statement:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits of the European Council Directive on the approximation
of the law of the member states relating to electromagnetic compatibility (89/336/EEC) according to EN 55022 Class B.
Industry Canada Equipment Notice:
The Industry Canada certification identifies certified equipment. This certification means that the equipment meets certain
telecommunications network protective, operational and safety requirements as prescribed in the appropriate Terminal
Equipment Technical Document(s). The Department does not guarantee the equipment will operate to the user's satisfaction.
Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible to be connected to the facilities of the local
telecommunications company. The equipment must also be installed using an acceptable method of connection. The
customer should be aware that compliance with the above conditions may not prevent degradation of service in some
situations. Repairs to certified equipment should be coordinated by a representative designated by the supplier. Any repairs
or alterations made by the user to this equipment, or equipment malfunctions, may give the telecommunications company
cause to request the user to disconnect the equipment.
Users should ensure, for their own protection, that the electrical ground connectors of the power utility, telephone lines and
internal metallic water pipe system, if present, are connected together. This presentation may be particularly important in
rural areas.
Caution: Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves, but should contact the appropriate electric
inspection authority or electrician, as appropriate.
This device has been designed to operate with the antennas listed below, and having a maximum gain of 2.2 dBi.
Antennas not included in this list or having a gain greater than 2.2 dBi are strictly prohibited for use with this device.
The required antenna impedance is 50 ohms.

Warranty Information
Limited One Year Warranty
Our company warrants that for two years from the date of purchase, it will replace this product if found to be defective in materials
or workmanship. For a prompt, no charge replacement of equivalent product, return the defective product postage prepaid to the
appropriate address.

United States of America
This replacement is the company's sole obligation under this warranty. SynapSense, Inc. will not be responsible for any
incidental or consequential damages or for any loss arising in connection with the use or inability to use this product. Some
states/provinces do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or
exclusion may not apply to you. This warranty excludes defects or damage due to misuse, abuse, or neglect. This warranty
gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights, which vary from state to state/province to province.
1. Operation
The SynapNet Node is designed to work in conjunction with a
SynapNet Gateway device and the SynapSoft console. Please be sure
you have correctly configured SynapSoft on the gateway computer prior
to continuing.
SynapNet nodes can be added to an existing SynapSense Wireless
Network (driven by a SynapNet Gateway) or be used to form a network.
Note that battery life will be compromised if the SynapNet Node is not
in range of an active gateway device or other SynapNet Node which is
part of a running network.
Installing external antenna:
a. Remove the antenna from the packaging, making sure the
threaded base of the antenna is clear of any debris.
b. Screw the antenna into the antenna port on the top of the
device via the metal base in a clockwise direction until it is
snug. Do not use a wrench or other high‐torque tool to
tighten.
Replacing batteries:
a. Turn On/Off Switch to Off position (to right when facing
switch)
b. Remove the battery cover (for Remote Gateway 2, the top
cover of the housing is removed via the 4 screws in the
bottom side of the case).
c. Remove old batteries, dispose of per local code. Contact
SynapSense if proper recycling is not available.
d. Insert the batteries into the marked positions in the
orientation displayed by the + or – markings on the device
near the battery tray (for ThermaNode, the battery polarity
marking is on the inside of the battery lid).
e. Replace the battery cover.
f. Turn On/Off switch to ON position (For Remote Gateway 2
this is marked as a I on the faceplate).
g. The device will attempt to join any available SynapSense
Wireless Sensor Networks. For more information on
network formation, node placement, please see the
SynapSense Wireless Network User Guide.
Troubleshooting and Diagnostics:
1. No lights appear when batteries are inserted or On/Off switch is turned
to ON position
Please be sure the battery orientation is correct and that the
batteries are fresh and charged.
2. A solid red light appears (Does not apply to Remote Gateway 2)
The battery on the device has fallen below allowable operating
level and the device has suspended its self to prevent network
problems.
3. The red light flashes briefly every 5 seconds (Does not apply to Remote
Gateway 2)
The node is currently not associated with an active wireless
sensor network. Make sure the node is in range of either an
active gateway device or another network‐associated SynapNet
Node. A node may take up to 20 minutes to fully join an
existing network.
Nodes may fall out of an active network if their signal strength
is weak. Consider topology changes such as the addition of
repeaters of the movement of other nodes in order to improve
signal conditions. For more information, see the SynapSense
Wireless Sensor Network User’s Guide.
4. The node appears to have stopped sending on the network (Does not
apply to Remote Gateway 2)
Check for the flashing red light (above) to see if the node has
somehow fallen out of the network.
The node can be reset without the removal of the battery
comportment by the use of a magnetic reset tool, or any
medium powered magnet. While watching the diagnostic light
area, move the magnet along the long edge opposite the
external sensor ports. The diagnostic lights will light and flash
when the node has successfully reset.
5. The Red LED is flashing on Remote Gateway 2:
This indicates the node is operating in battery backup mode.
This is caused by loss of 5VDC power supplied to the DC Jack
connector. Check the external wall adapter is plugged in and
has power.
6. Loss of Network communication:
Cycle power to Remote Gateway 2 by turning the on/off switch
to OFF position (marked O on front panel), wait 10seconds, and
then to ON position (marked I on front panel).
