1. Operation
The SynapNet Node is designed to work in conjunction with a
SynapNet Gateway device and the SynapSoft console. Please be sure
you have correctly configured SynapSoft on the gateway computer prior
to continuing.
SynapNet nodes can be added to an existing SynapSense Wireless
Network (driven by a SynapNet Gateway) or be used to form a network.
Note that battery life will be compromised if the SynapNet Node is not
in range of an active gateway device or other SynapNet Node which is
part of a running network.
Devices that are powered by external power adapters must have the
power adapter placed outside the server cabinet as the maximum
operating temperature of the adapter is +40°C, whereas the device
mounted inside the cabinet can operate to +60°C.
Installing/Replacing the external antenna:
a. Power down the device.
b. Remove the antenna from the packaging; making sure the
threaded base of the antenna is clear of any debris.
c. Screw the antenna into the antenna port on the top of the
device via the metal base in a clockwise direction until it is
snug. Do not use a wrench or other high-torque tool to
tighten.
Replacing batteries:
a. Turn On/Off Switch to Off position (to right when facing
switch)
b. Remove the battery cover (for Remote Gateway 2, the top
cover of the housing is removed via the 4 screws in the
bottom side of the case).
c. Remove old batteries, dispose of per local code. Contact
SynapSense if proper recycling is not available.
d. Insert the batteries into the marked positions in the
orientation displayed by the + or – markings on the device
near the battery tray (for ThermaNode, the battery polarity
marking is on the inside of the battery lid).
e. Replace the battery cover.
