June 13, 2023 1:44 PM www.sensolus.com | info@sensolus.com Current sensor SENSE CUR 4600 This sensor accumulates the total duration a direct current is flowing in the forward and/or backward direction above a configurable threshold. It can for example measure if the battery of an asset is discharged (asset being used) or charged (battery being charged). 36 mm Battery powered Range up to 35 meters Direct current only measurements Bluetooth communication with tracker Connectivity Transmission range Up to 35 meters BLE advertisement period 2 seconds at +0dBm Sensor characteristics Measure current range · Measure Current Range 0.3A ~ 20A DC · Resolution 100mA DC · Accuracy 5A ~ 20A DC +_3% · Max. measure voltage DC 900V -20°C to +50°C Mechanics & design Size 71x 36 x 36 mm Operating temperature Weight 80 gram Casing NYLON Flame Retardant (UL-94V0) Mounting Clip the sensor around the electrical cable.

  1. Install the batteries
  2. Remove the green bottom lid of the clamp sensor.
  3. Place the battery with the - pole down
  4. Replace the green bottom lid This sensor is for direct current (DC) measurements only !! Open the machine, locate the battery and look for plus and min poles. Attach the sensor to one of the cables attached to the plus or the minus pole of the battery. Only one sensor is needed. It does not matter which cable you choose. Make sure you install the sensor correctly: • Either on the minus pole wire: arrow on the sensor points towards the battery. • Or on the plus pole wire: arrow on the sensor points away from the battery. When installing on the positive pole wire, the arrow on the outside of the sensor is pointing away from the battery. When installing on the negative pole wire, the arrow on the outside of the sensor is pointing towards the battery.
  5. Install in the machine
www.sensolus.com | info@sensolus.com June 15, 2023 1:59 PM Open the sensolus smartphone app. Select the tracker from the asset list. Click “link sensor” at the bottom of the page in the advaced section. 3. Link the sensor to the tracker with the mobile app Make sure you are working with the latest version of the app installed on your phone. Click the pair sensor button Scan the the QR code of the the sensor, the sensors slots will be automatically assigned You will see that the sensor is linked. Both charging and uncharging slots are filled. Select the sensor you want to adjust the threshold values for. 4. Adjust the threshold values for testing purposes Make sure you are working with the latest version of the app installed on your phone. Click the settings wheel Enter the forward and backward current threshold. Click on the save icon to store the settings. To know how to define the thresholds, consult the Sensolus documentation centre. Open the sensor manager in the sensolus application. ADMINwww.sensolus.com | info@sensolus.com June 15, 2023 1:59 PM Keep in mind. • Do not expect to count the time of short cuttent flows since the measurement interval is 30 seconds, and the time reporting resolution is in minutes. • Do not expect to see live current measaurement (or any current measurement) in the platform. • Do not expect to see current vs time in a graph in the platform. • The sensor does not measure voltages or usage of AC generators. • The sensor cannot measure any alternating current (AC). • The sensor cannot be use outdoors since the sensor is not IP rated. • Do not drop the sensor (these clamps are made with fragile ferrite cores inside and will not survive a drop). • Do not hit the sensor them, these clamps are not IK rated. • When you put the + and the – wire into the clamp at the same time, as the positive and negative magnetic fields (induced by the current flow) will cancel each other out., resulting in always measuring nothing!
