Changing the Batteries
The status of the batteries can be seen from the wireless sensor view on the Insights monitoring dashboard. In
addition, you can set up a low battery alert notication to notify you when the batteries in your sensors are low
on power. To change the batteries, carefully unscrew the cover. Remove the two AA batteries and replace them
with the same type (two Energizer Advanced Lithium AA Batteries). Standard alkaline cells can be used, but they
will not perform well in cold conditions and will provide a much shorter lifespan.
Troubleshooting the Wireless Sensor
Signal Strength Indicator Mode
This mode is used to discover how strong the signal is between the wireless sensor and the closest gateway.
To enter Signal Strength mode:
Signal Strength Guide for Nodes
Key
1. Press and hold down the
power button. All lights will
come on.
2. Once the status light is
ashing, quickly let go. If
you hold down too long
the lights will go out one
by one and it will power off.
3. If done correctly you
should see a steady green
light. This means it’s
searching for a signal.
If you see a ashing light
you may have released too
soon. Try the process again.
4. Once the device has
found a signal, the steady
green light should go out.
Then each light that stays
on is a bar of strength.
Flashing is a half bar.
Try to get at least a steady
red and ashing amber.
