Introduction
1. Description
MTX-StarSensor is an integrated solution for measurement with 4-20mA transducers.
Its high degree of protection against water and dust, IP67, make it ideal for use in such environments. Its
temperature range allows it to work in industrial environments, although large temperature variations as
well as very hot or very cold environments can reduce the life of your batteries.
It has an internal memory to store the transducer readings, allowing its subsequent wireless dump by
connecting to 2G, 3G or 4G networks or, manually, through Bluetooth.
The sensor supply is congurable by software, favouring compatibility with most sensors on the market.
Its power system based on ultra-low consumption architecture gives it great autonomy that, depending
on the duty cycle, can be extended up to several years.

4. Estimated Operating Time
The battery power pack provides 10.8V with a capacity of 54Ah which gives a total energy of 540W·h to
the system. If we consider, for example, 24 readings, 1 per hour, and 1 sending operation per day:
23 reading operations x 10.8 mW·h = 248.4 mW·h
1 reading + 1 sending operation = 22.3 mW·h
Total energy consumption per day = 270.7 mW·h
If the energy of the battery is divided by the energy consumed during the day, it’s obtained the operating
days:
540000 mW·h / 270.7 mW·h = 1994.8 operating days. Converted to years, it would be 5.47 years.

Interface Description
MTX-StarSensor has the following panel connectors and indicator LEDs:
• 1x transducer 4-20mA panel mount gland connector
• 1x SMA Female panel mount connector
• 1x magnetic switch
• 1x LED panel-mount indicator
1. Sensor Transducer Connector
There is a gland on the side of the enclosure ready to t up to a 7mm wide cable. The MTX-StarSensor
has an internal 3-way pluggable connector next to this gland, such as, submersible pressure sensors,
ultrasonic sensors and so on.
CABLE WIRING (SENSOR TRANSDUCER CONNECTOR)
# Description I/O
1 +Vdc Sensor 1 (+) pin labelled (brown wire, up to 50mA power supply) O
2 Sensor 1 Input (-) pin labelled (blue wire) I
3 GND pin labelled. Not used in 2-wire sensors. Only used in 3-wire
sensors to attach GND connection.
-
All the transducers connected to this device must source up to 20mA in pin 2 (blue). Above this value the
measure will result in an incorrect reading.

2. SIM Card
It supports an internal SIM card. Only 3V and 1.8V SIM technology is supported. To insert the SIM card
is necessary open the case. Please, refer to “7. Opening the case” to do it in order to avoid possible
damages.
The location of SIM holder is as shown below.
It’s important to disconnect the batteries before connecting the SIM card.

3. LED Panel-Mount Indicators
Threre’s one green led on the side, close to the antenna connector.
3.1 The Green LED
Indicates when the device is operating in conguration mode, blinking every 4 seconds. Once, the device
leaves the conguration mode, this led stops ashing.

4. SMA-F Antenna Connector
Close to the leds, there’s an SMA female coaxial connector for a 50 Ohm antenna. As the rest of the
connectors, it has an IP67 grade protection. This antenna is used to establish communication between
the device and the 4G/3G/2G network.
It’s important matching the antenna to get the best results in signal communication power and therefore
in a better performance.
5. The Magnetic Switch
Putting close a magnet to the area shown below, the device awakes and after 15 seconds the green led
starts blinking 1 time every 4 seconds.
It’s important to notice that there is not an immediate response from the leds to the magnet. As said
before, the green led starts to ashing at 15 seconds. At this moment, the device is fully operational to
connect to the computer through the Bluetooth or optionally through the USB-RJ45 cable.

6. Opening the Case
To open the enclosure, it’s necessary to use a athead screwdriver. The screwdriver should be inserted
in the hole of the top of the case as shown in the image below. It’s important that must be inserted on
the side next to connectors.
Once done, the screwdriver must be pulled to remove the side cover.
Now, the large cover can be pull up and access the inside of the device. The opening of the enclosure
doesn’t compromise the IP protection.
