Long Range Wireless Process and Pulse Smart Sensor 915 MHZ

Introduction: SS-015

The Layer N SS-015 Smart Sensor provides an easy way to integrate process and digital pulse inputs to your Layer N Ecosystem. SS-015 Smart Sensors provide a long-range wireless sub GHz interface for devices that produce both process and digital signals and transmits them to the Layer N Cloud. External process and digital signal devices connect to the SS-015 through an M12 5-pin connector (M12.5-S-M-FM screw terminal accessory sold separately) and easily pair to a Layer N Gateway through a one-button pairing system. The device can be powered by internal batteries, USB power, or an optional external power source (sold separately). The SS-015 may be configured to monitor up to 3 industry standard process signals including 4-20 mA, 0-1.0 V_DC, and 0-2.0 V_DC. The SS-015 may also be configured to monitor the on/off state of the input signals, the pulse rate/width and duty cycle of the primary input, or the pulse delay between the two signals. The pulse totalizing function supports both standard counting and up/down counting. Each of the 3 inputs can be individually configured to allow mixed configurations to monitor both Process and Pulse Signals simultaneously. Additionally, a low power sensor signal excitation power output is available.

Plug and Play

The SS-015 is easily paired to the Layer N Gateway with the press of a button and will automatically show up on your Layer N Cloud account. The Layer N Gateway can connect up to 256 Smart Sensors3 per unit. Local data logging keeps your data secure in the event of a power or network outage. Reports, History, and E-mail alerts from the Layer N Cloud keep you informed on the status of all your vital processes.

Intuitive Configuration

Configure your Layer N Smart Sensor using our free SYNC configuration software. Configurable features include selective data extraction, measurement and device traceability, local alarms, and adaptive transmission rates to reduce data congestion and extend battery life.

Security and Access Control

Layer N wireless products are designed with state of the art security features to protect your data with robust AES256 encryption and advanced PKA-EC521bit (NIST) elliptic-curve cryptography to protect your data. Password protection ensures that access to device data is restricted and only accessible by authorized users. Device Authentication ensures that Layer N Smart probes connect to validated Omega devices.

Compatibility

The SS-015 is fully compatible with the Layer N ecosystem of devices, SYNC configuration software, and the Layer N Cloud.
