Power Profile
This device will need a more significant power source than a CR2032 battery, unlike other Tarts sensors. It is
recommended, that at minimum, the device is powered with 2 AA batteries (in series), but other options include 2 C
batteries in series or 2 D batteries in series. If you intend to have the device react immediately on a continual basis (Low
Power Mode set to OFF), you will need to consider power the device with a 3.0 – 3.3 VDC power adapter.
To connect power leads to the unit, solder the ground wire to SP8 or SP4 and the power wire to SP10.
Please see the Expected Battery Life table.
Serial Identification Numbers
Notice the serial identification number on the bar code sticker attached to the circuit board on each Tarts Basic Control.
This is NOT the same as the UPC label on the packaging. It is on the face of the plate. You will need to know this
identification number. The identification number is programmed into the unit at the time of manufacturing so it cannot
be altered. Communications to and from the devices are identified by this number.
Antenna Orientation
Before proceeding further, take the time to straighten the antennas on your Basic Control unit. It will perform better if it
is not curled up, but rather straight and vertical. For more antenna suggestions, see the RF Considerations section in the
User’s Guide.
Light Indicators
Tarts Basic Control comes equipped with an LED light. If power consumption on the device is an issue, the light can be
disabled so that it no longer consumes power. Other options include having the LED go on and off with the relay, or only
flashing when Tarts Basic Control is polling the gateway for command updates.
