DEWALT®Signal Live Hub - Quick Start Guide
Thank you for choosing DEWALT®as your concrete monitoring solution.
Please follow the below instructions and you’ll be monitoring your concrete strength in no time.
INTRODUCTION
DEWALT®Signal Live is our wire-free system for monitoring concrete strength in realtime. The DEWALT®Signal Live system
consists of two elements:
DEWALT® SIGNAL SENSORS
The DEWALT® signal sensor sits in concrete and collects
temperature data, which will be transmitted via Bluetooth
to the DEWALT® Signal Live Hub
DEWALT® SIGNAL LIVE HUB
The DEWALT® Signal Live Hub collects temperature data
from the DEWALT® signal sensor installed within a 16ft
radius via Bluetooth, and sends the data to the cloud.
SETTING UP
Installing the Hub
1. Please charge the Hub fully before use;
2. Place the Hub in a central and open location close to
the DEWALT® Signal Sensors. Note that the Hub can
collect data from up to 10 sensors;
3. Activate the DEWALT® Signal Live Hub by pressing the
power button. Wait up to 5 minutes until the LED comes
on. It will enter setup mode;
4. During setup mode view the sensors in range of the
Hub on the site inventory screen on the platform (see
below);
5. For best performance, we recommend fixing the Hub:
●Up to 5m from sensors;
●In a location with clear line of sight to the sensors;
●Somewhere with a view of the sky and good cellular
signal strength;

●Fixed securely in a raised location where the Hub
will not be moved during normal site activities;
6. Remember to switch off the Hub after monitoring the
pour, to conserve battery.
Setup and use
The Hubs assigned to your site can be found on the inventory screen in the app or the ConcreteDNA web
platform (app.concretedna.com).
Each time the Hub is switched on, It will take up to 5 minutes for the LED to start flashing. Once it starts flashing,
the device will enter a setup mode for the first 20 minutes of operation. During this time, the platform will update
more frequently, displaying the sensors in range and their Bluetooth signal strength. This enables you to find an
optimal location where the Hub is both in range of all sensors and with good cellular connectivity.
After setup mode has finished DEWALT® Signal Sensor information will update each time it connects (typically
every 20 minutes).
All sensors in range will have their measurements collected automatically.
Note: if a sensor has not been registered, this will be shown as not registered. You need to register the sensors
first to allow the DEWALT® Signal Live Hub to collect measurements.

Charging the battery
A DEWALT® Signal Live Hub will charge from empty to full overnight (around 10hrs). Once fully charged the
battery will last up to 6 weeks.
1. Connect the supplied charger to the DEWALT® Signal Live Hub;
2. The LED will briefly flash to indicate the charger is connected and will stay on showing the current charge
level;
3. If the DEWALT® Signal Live Hub is off while charging, the LED will display the current charge level.
Note: Only charge DEWALT® Signal Live inside, using the supplied charger.

DEWALT® Signal Live FAQs
1. Why does nothing happen to the LED once I turn on the device?
Once you turn on the device, it will start searching for a cellular(GSM) network. This process can take up to 5
minutes. After 5 minutes the LED will start flashing.
2. What’s the difference between DEWALT® Signal and DEWALT® Signal Live Hubs?
DEWALT® Signal Live Hubs automate the collection of measurements from DEWALT® Signal Sensors, in conjunction
with the premium features you get as part of ConcreteDNA, teams can collaborate and accelerate their programs.
3. Do I need to use my phone to collect measurements?
DEWALT® Signal Live Hubs automatically collects and uploads to the platform measurements from nearby
DEWALT® Signal sensors, but it is also possible to use your mobile phone to collect measurements if you
need to.
4. How many DEWALT® Signal sensors can be connected at the same time to the DEWALT® Signal Live
Hub?
We recommend no more than 10 DEWALT® Signal Sensors per individual DEWALT® Signal Live Hub.
5. What is the range of a DEWALT® Signal live Hub?
We recommend a distance of up to 16ft, although more is often possible. The DEWALT® Signal Live Hub
has better Bluetooth range than mobile phones, but for a reliable connection, we recommend choosing a
location that is close to the sensor.
Note: The Bluetooth range will be affected by the depth of concrete covering the DEWALT® Signal Sensor
and improves when the concrete has cured for 24 hours.
6. How often does DEWALT® Signal live collect measurements
Measurements are collected every 20 minutes by the DEWALT® Signal Live Hub, please contact us if you
require a higher frequency of reporting.
7. How often should I charge the battery?
The battery will last for up to 6 weeks on a single charge but for easy use, we recommend you charge the
battery overnight before you start monitoring a new pour.
8. Can a sensor connect to more than one Hub
Yes, an individual DEWALT® Signal Sensor can connect to multiple DEWALT® Signal Live Hubs.
