Introduction
The Layer N SP-016 Heat Flux Smart Probe provides an easy way to integrate your thermopile-based heat flux sensor to the
Layer N Ecosystem. The SP-016 performs the necessary calculations to provide the heat flux measurement in W/m
2
. The SP-
016 accepts heat flux sensors through its M12 4-pin connector and Layer N Smart Interfaces through its M12 8-pin
connector. The optional M12-S-M-FM connector can be utilized to easily connect wire leads typically found on heat flux
sensors to your SP-016. The SP-016 supports any single thermopile sensor input (mV/W/m
2
) and an additional
thermocouple input for temperature compensation.
The Layer N SP-016 features 2 configurable digital I/O pins. These can be used for a myriad of applications including driving
relays, physical alarms, or sensing dry contacts like door switches. The SP-016 can also be utilized as an edge controller, with
autonomous independent decision-making capabilities to generate local alarms or provide control outputs based on sensor
inputs.
