3.4 CONNECT A SENSOR TO THE INPUT (OPTIONALLY)
Two external sensors can be connected to the inputs.
Insert the 2 wires of an external sensor through the hole in the casing and
insert them in the two connectors of input 1 (press on the green pins for
connecting the wires). It does not matter which wire is connected to which
connector.
A second sensor may be connected to input 2.
As default the input is programmed as Normally
Open (NO) contact. This means the input is
triggered if the input is closed for at least 1
second. In case the contact is Normally Closed
(NC), see paragraph 5.4. If the sensor needs to
be activated for a longer period before
triggering an alarm, see 5.4.
If a recovery message after an alarm reset is desired, see 5.7.
3.5 NETWORK CONNECTION AND PROGRAM MODE
After placing the batteries (and external power) the Mobeye PowerGuard will
search for the network. The outside LED flashes green and red. This process
normally takes 10-30 seconds, in a new device this can take some minutes.
When the network has been established the LED will first blink green rapidly
and next stay green (or flashes 1 sec. on/1 sec. off in case the unit has not
been configured yet).
In a battery-operated unit a time-out occurs after 3 minutes,
after which the communication module switches off in order
to save the batteries. In this low power mode the LED flashes
once per 3 seconds. It will search for network connection
once it needs to send notifications. It can also been forced to
establish a network connection by re-inserting the batteries
or pressing the button at the back for 5 seconds.
If the PowerGuard is connected to an external power supply, it has
continuous network connection and is permanently in program mode.
