Figure 3: Ensure sensors are docked and charging for a minimum of 3 seconds and
then removed from the charge cradle to turn on.
Turning the Sensors OFF
There are 4 mechanisms that will turn the sensors off:
a) Dock Sensors in Charger:
docking the sensors in the charge cradle will
automatically turn the wireless communication system of the sensor off and
engage the battery charging circuit.
b) Undock and Activate Magnetic Switch
: Sensors can be turned off by
activating the internal magnetic switch within 3 seconds of undocking a sensor
from an active charge pocket.
c) Dock and Undock Sensors <3s:
Docking and undocking the sensors in less
than 3 seconds will turn the sensors off. Plugging and unplugging the power
connector within 3 seconds will turn off all docked sensors.
d) Software Issued Command:
Sensors that are paired with the base station
and are communicating with the host software application can be turned off by
way of an “off” command sent from the software appli
cation. Please refer to
the software user guide for more information.
Pairing the Sensors with the Base Station
Data acquisition functions of the sensor, wireless transmission to the base
station and data transfer from the base station to the software require the
sensors to be paired to the base station. The pairing process links the unique ID
of the sensor to the unique ID of the base station to establish a wireless data
link. Pairing information is retained after the base station and sensors are
powered off. Pairing is initiated through the software pairing command and
completed by activating the internal magnetic switch in the sensor. The
magnetic switch in the sensor is activated by tapping the sensor over the built-
in magnet of the base station.
