WASP-PTM Pressure Sensor Operations Manual 1 Introduction This Operations Manual provides basic information on how to operate the WASP-P. This manual covers the following topics:
Installation of WASP-P Assembling of WASP-P Placement of WASP-P Troubleshooting 2 Installation 2.1. Assembling of Wireless Sensor Pucks 2.1.1. Battery Installation Each sensor puck is shipped with a separate battery circuit board. The battery circuit board contains a non-removable long lasting lithium battery. WARNING USE ONLY WITH REPLACEABLE BATTERY BOSSPAC EA000166 WARNING EXPLOSION HAZARD. DO NOT REMOVE BATTERIES UNLESS AREA IS KNOWN TO BE NON-HAZARDOUS. AVERTISSEMENT RISQUE DEXPLOSION. AFIN DVITER TOUT RISQU DEXPLOSION, SASSURER QUE LEMPLACEMENT EST DSIGN NON DANGEREUX AVANT CHANGER LA BATTERIE. To turn on and activate each sensor puck you must carefully attach the battery board to the sensor unit. Plug the pins on the battery board into the corresponding sockets on the sensor puck housing. See Figure 1:
It is important that the Battery Board and the WASP-P Sensor are oriented correctly. Failure to orient the battery with the WASP-P can cause damage to the battery pins and will damage the Sensor. This is done by lining up the silver mark on the WASP-P main housing with the largest cutout on the battery board as show above. Newer sensor housing has the cutout in lieu of the silver mark. Once the pins make contact a LED on the battery module board will turn on to indicate power on. During this time, the WASP-P device performs a power-on self test (POST). The LED will flash quickly for a couple of seconds and then turn off to indicate this cycle.

WASP-PTM Pressure Sensor Operations Manual Figure 1: Install WASPTM Battery Board 2.1.2. Cap and Gasket Installation Each top cap will have a Gylon 3545 gasket adhered onto its surface. This gasket is required for the sensor to maintain an IP54 rating. There is no specific orientation required for the top cap; and it is retained by four 8-32 stainless steel screws. WARNING DO NOT REMOVE THE FOUR SCREWS ON THE BOTTOM OF THE DEVICE 2.1.3. WASPPTM LED Error Indicator Should the POST, (Power On Self Test), fail, the device locks up and flashes the LED in discernible patterns to help diagnose the source of the problem. See the section at the end of this manual on troubleshooting for details on the LED flash codes.

2.2. Placement Of The WASPPTM Pucks WASP-PTM Pressure Sensor Operations Manual 2.2.1. WASPPTM Mounting The WASP-P sensors are designed with a 1/8 NPT male thread connection. To properly mount, the user will be required to provide an appropriate tapered or straight 1/8 female threaded connection. It is recommended that a medium, such as nylon tape, be used to help ensure proper mating and tightly sealed connection is made. To help maintain stability and reduce structural stresses on the connector, (vibratory loading), a supporting plate attached to the provided mounting bracket is required. The mounting bracket is supplied and shipped with the sensor and must be attached to the sensor as shown in Figure 2. Use of this bracket, or an alternate fastening arrangement, will help minimize dynamic load from piping or tubing. An example of alternate fastening method which can be adopted is shown in Figure 3.

WASP-PTM Pressure Sensor Operations Manual 3 Troubleshooting WASP LED Flash Codes 3.1. LED Flash Codes The following table contains a brief description of all flash codes reported by the device:
FLASH CODE DESCRIPTION 2 Flashes - Battery Failure Device battery is either too low or too high. Valid regions are 3.00 V to 4.00 V 3 Flashes - Temperature Sensor Failure Temperature sensor readings are outside of the acceptable start-up temperature window from -40C to +100C 4 Flashes - Radio Failure Device cannot communicate with the onboard radio 5 Flashes - Regulator Failure is outside of The regulated voltage the allowable window, yet the MCU is still able to operate. For safety and reliability, the device only accepts regulated voltage between 2.00 V and 2.40 V

WASP-PTM Pressure Sensor Operations Manual 3.2. What To Do When An Error Is Reported Battery Failure (2-Flash) Recommend removing and replacing with a new battery, checking to see that the pins have mated correctly. If the problem still persists, please contact BossPac, with the problem, for warranty replacement considerations. Temperature Sensor Failure (3-Flash) Assuming that the device is not powering up in extreme temperatures, this is indicative of an electrical fault with the RTD. Please contact BossPac, with the problem, for warranty replacement considerations. Radio Failure (4-Flash) This is indicative of an electrical failure. The problem is much more severe in this instance as device cannot communicate. Please contact BossPac, with the problem, for warranty replacement considerations. Regulator Failure (5-Flash) This is indicative of an electrical failure. Please contact BossPac, with the problem, for warranty replacement considerations. 3.3.
