General Description
The mesh network Series 2000 SST2630 is a battery operated spread spectrum wireless remote/strap-on
temperature sensor.
The sensor is encapsulated in a 0.25” O.D. 304 stainless steel probe (2” probe length) for single point pipe
temperature monitoring.
ACI’s mesh network Series 2000 wireless sensors utilize reliable Spread Spectrum Radio technology. They can
be installed easily in minutes eliminating hundreds of feet of wire and saving installation cost while reducing
installation labor risks.
The Series 2000 sensor Data-Link LED confirms the data transmission was received by the receiver for fast and
reliable positioning of the sensor during installation.
There is no need for special wireless installation equipment
or tool.
Together with the ACI Series 2000 receivers and controllers, the ACI wireless sensors can be used with any
LON, BacNet, MODbus, or DDC control system or panel.
The maximum radio transmission distance is dependent on the building type. The maximum open air
transmission distance is one mile. In a typical commercial building with steel I-Beam construction, concrete
floors with reinforcing rod, and metal stud walls, it can be expected that transmissions will penetrate vertically
through floors and horizontally through 200 to 500 feet of walls, furniture and air.
Installation
Wireless remote/strap-on sensors should be installed within 200 to 500 feet of the receiver. RR2552 signal
repeaters can be installed as needed to increase transmission distance between sensors and receivers.
CAUTION
Observe battery polarity when installing battery.
To select the proper sensor location,
first install and power the receiver
.
To activate the sensor insert the
battery observing the polarity.
The mesh networked Series 2000 system does not require any additional wireless
equipment to determine the proper location of the sensors.
While the sensor is attempting to connect to the receiver the Data-Link LED will blink rapidly 8–10 times every
10 seconds. Once a connection has been established, the Data-Link LED will blink once to indicate the data
transmission has been received successfully. The Data-Link LED will continue to blink once for every data
transmission. The data transmission rate is programmed into the sensor (normally 1 minute intervals). To
manually initiate a data transmission press the push button switch located by the negative terminal of the battery.
The sensor probe should be mounted under any insulation in direct contact with the pipe using metal pipe straps.
For proper measurement of temperature, thermal conductive compound should be used in between the sensor
probe and the pipe. The installation should be wrapped with insulation to reduce the effect of ambient air. The
plastic housing of the sensor can either be mounted on the pipe with metal pipe strap or wall mounted.
Locate and record the sensor ID numbers located on a label inside the unit prior to mounting.
The sensor has a Low Battery LED that will start to blink continuously when the battery voltage is low. A low
battery signal is also sent to the receiver for remote indication that the battery should be replaced. If the battery
is not replaced in approximately 2 months, the battery voltage will become so low that the Low Battery and
Data-Link LEDs will not blink. Replace the battery and the Data-Link LED will start blinking while the sensor
is re-establishing communications with the receiver.
Then attach the cover of the sensor by installing the four screws.
