Batteries holder with connection adapter
DESCRIPTION AND APPLICATION
The Batteries holder is designed to be used as an accessory for battery powered transducers with
radio output to Sigfox net (from Wx8xx series*). It allows you to power the transducer from one or two
3.6V lithium batteries, size "C", thus extending up to six times the operating time compared to the
standard life of size "AA" internal battery. It is equipped with a connection adapter that is mounted in
place of the transducer's internal battery. The SP015 Batteries holder is suitable for applications
where the life of the transducer's internal battery is insufficient and the mains power supply (with
optional accessories) cannot be used.
*) Applicable to W0810, W0811, W0832, W0850, W3810, W3811, W7810 models.
SAFETY NOTICE
use only recommended batteries in the device
never mix different manufacturers' batteries or new ones with those already in use
do not short circuit output of the device, the batteries will be destroyed
always insert batteries with the correct polarity, never with the reversed polarity
do not exceed the specified operating temperatures
device contains electronic parts that must be disposed of in accordance with local
and currently valid legal conditions
POWER SUPPLY BATTERIES
SP015 Batteries holder is supplied separately, without batteries. It is designed for primary lithium
batteries 3.6V, size "C". We recommend using Tadiran SL2770/S batteries (order code A4206). One
or two batteries can be fitted. If you choose to use two batteries, always use batteries the same type
and manufacturer, origin from same delivery, ie. same age. Always use new, unused batteries. It is
forbidden to combine batteries from different manufacturers or to mix new batteries with those already
in use.

Use two batteries only in applications where the transducer will be set to shorter sending intervals
(from 10 min to 1 h). For long sending intervals (3 h or longer), you can achieve a life of 10 years or
more at normal operating temperatures, even with one battery. Battery life of more than 10 years is
rather theoretical, because at such a long time the effect of batteries self-discharge may be higher
than the power consumption of the device.
At continuous operating temperatures above 35 °C, the battery life may drop by a third or half. In
accordance with the transducer manual, the battery life values apply when extraordinary alarm
messages are not used or only exceptionally.

OVERVIEW OF INDIVIDUAL MODELS
SP015
The transducer and the Batteries holder are placed
on top of each other and screwed together. The
complet is fastened with two suitable screws
according to the type of base material.
Suitable for applications where greater assembly
depth does not matter and for any base material.
SP015M
The transducer and the Batteries holder are placed
on top of each other and screwed together. The
complet is attached with two strong, neodymium
magnets.
Suitable for applications where the greater
assembly depth does not matter and the base
material is metal (magnetic). Allows you to easily
move the complet. Unsuitable for publicly
accessible areas - danger of theft.
SP015C
The Batteries holder is supplied without additional
fastening mechanisms. Together with the
transducer, they can be placed next to each other
and fastened with four suitable screws according
to the type of base material.
Suitable for applications where a smaller assembly
depth is required and for any base material.
The SP015C Batteries holder and transducer can
also be screwed together through the rear walls
over a mounting bracket that holds the assembly in
the application used.
Suitable for applications where the assembly is
placed in a space with a suitable application
holder. The distance from the walls allows more
accurate measurement of temperature or humidity.
This assembly mounting is used, for example, for
installation in a COMETEO F8000 radiation shield.

PUTTING DEVICE INTO OPERATION
1) Mounting the connection adapter on the transducer
unscrew the four screws at the corners of the
transducer case and remove the cover
if you have a new transducer, install it according to the
transducer manual (keep it working from the supplied
battery). After the adapter is mounted, the
Configuration button inside the device will not be
accessible - therefore, before continuing, make sure
that the device is turned on and that you do not
require accelerated transducer parameter settings.
remove the battery by pulling on its handle from the
ready transducer
insert one SP015 connection adapter contact into the
Wx8xx transducer battery contact field. Then insert
the second contact into the other the transducer
battery contact field and close the cover. The contacts
of the two devices must fit exactly together.
verify that the connection adapter is flush with the
transducer housing circuit. If not, remove the adapter
and repeat the assembly procedure. Under no
circumstances should you attempt to force the adapter
and transducer into the correct position.
if the adapter is in the correct position, screw it with
the original screws
keep the original cover and battery for case the
adapter is will removed

2) Battery installation
unscrew the four screws at the corners
of the Batteries holder case and
remove the cover
depending on the required life (see
table above), insert into the Batteries
holder one or two a 3.6V lithium
batteries (of the same type and
manufacturer) with polarity as shown
on figure. Push the battery against
the spring of negative contact and then
release it. Display of the transducer
must light up within 10 seconds and
the transducer will start working.
screw the batteries holder cover. Make sure that the contact surfaces of gasket are free of dirt.
3) Assembly and fixing of the assembly
SP015
screw the transducer onto the holder posts
(1) with the supplied M4 screws
screw all the assembly on the selected
measuring place (2). Observe the
installation instructions and location rules in
the transducer manual. Depending on the
type of material on which the entire
assembly will be mounted, use two suitable
4 mm diameter screws.
SP015M
screw the transducer onto the holder posts
(1) with the supplied M4 screws
attach all the assembly on the selected
measuring place on a metal (magnetic)
base material (2). Observe the installation
instructions and location rules in the
transducer manual.

SP015C
if you want to arrange both devices side
by side, screw the holder to the left side
of the intended transducer position.
Depending on the type of material on
which the entire assembly will be
mounted, use four suitable 4 mm
diameter screws.
if you want to place both devices freely
in the space, screw them together with
the rear walls over a suitable application
holder (not included) using M4 screws
of suitable length
for installation in the COMETEO F8000
radiation shield, screw the two devices
together with the rear walls over the
mounting bracket that is part of the
shield. See instructions for using the
shield. Use the M4 screws from the
SP015C holder package.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
for models SP015 and SP015M: If it is necessary
to replace the batteries in the Batteries holder
directly at the installation site, first unscrew the
transducer from the holder posts (2 M4 screws)
and move it to the right of the Batteries holder.
Temporarily attach the transducer with only one
screw to the right post of the Batteries holder as
shown. Do not let the transducer hang by the
power cord.
for all models: Remove the four screws at the
corners of case the Batteries holder and remove
the cover. Replace the batteries with new ones
and reassemble all the assembly in reverse.
