NetBotz Wireless Sensor Pod 180 Installation Guide

Powering an End Device

A Wireless Sensor Pod must have lithium batteries installed to become an End

Device. An End Device reports data from the internal and external sensors to

the host appliance, but does not extend the wireless network or pass data to

other End Devices.

Power End Devices last to preserve battery life.

Once its extended address is added to the commission list in the Advanced

View, and the lithium batteries are installed, the pod is automatically configured

as an End Device.

To configure a Wireless Sensor Pod as an End Device:

1. Mount the pod using the instructions in “Mounting the Wireless Sensor

Pod” on page 7.

2. Ensure the extended address of the pod is added to the commission list in

the Advanced View.

3. Install the provided lithium batteries into the battery compartment.

Note: It is highly recommended you use the provided lithium

batteries when installing the Wireless Sensor Pod. When necessary,

replace the batteries with only the same battery type.

Internal sensor listing

When an End Device is selected in the Navigation Pane in Advanced View, the

following internal sensors are listed in the Sensor Pane (along with any attached

external sensors):

Sensor Description

Temperature The internal temperature sensor reading.

Humidity The internal humidity sensor reading.

Dew Point The calculated dew point.

Battery The voltage of the batteries.

RSSI The Received Signal Strength Indicator. Indicates the

strength of the signal the Router receives from its parent

(either another Router or the Coordinator). A reading above

30% RSSI is ideal.
