1Introduction
This Document details how to configure the RL4000 and ML4000 Series Sensor Units (including
Durable Units) from Hanwell Solutions Ltd for use in conjunction with the EMS application.
•Durable Units (-DU) function in exactly the same way as other 4000 Series Sensor Units, but
have a higher IP Rating.
It also details the additional functions, such as Calibration.
The 4000 Series Sensor Units are, essentially, transmitters with one, two or three data channels.
The Units take data received from attached sensors/probes and transmit it to the Hanwell EMS
System at defined Transmission Intervals, either directly or via an SR2 Controller.
•The sensor(s)/probe(s) themselves can be mounted directly onto the 4000 Series Sensor
Unit’s case or on a lead connected to the Unit.
•The current Data Values, battery voltage/predicted battery life and (optionally) the Alarm
Status are displayed on the Sensor Units’ LCD screens.
•The Sensor Units are configured with the EMS software via a USB connection.
•The Sensor Units hold their Calibration Data in their on-board memory and can also be
programmed with the High/Low Alarm Values set on the EMS host PC/Server.
•Mark 8 and above 4000 Series Sensor Units can also log data on-board in their internal
memory.
1.1 Pre-requisites
You will need the following to enable communication between EMS and a 4000 Series Sensor Unit:
•Y055 USB lead.

2.1 Sensor Unit Battery
Most variants of the 4000 Series Sensor Units are powered by a 3.6V AA Lithium battery.
•The battery life is dependent on the Transmit Interval set.
•If a batch of Sensor Units have been set up at the same time, we recommend changing the
batteries of all of the batch simultaneously.
•Replacement battery Hanwell Part Number: 88706.
Caution: Do Not Fit Standard Alkaline AA Batteries.
2.2 Mounting the Sensor Unit
A wall-mounting bracket is available for the 4000 Series Sensor Units (Code: Y119). It comprises a
metal strip which is fitted to the wall.
•To mount a 4000 Series Sensor Unit on the bracket, line up the slots on the back of the Unit
with the tabs on the bracket and click the Unit into place.
•To remove 4000 Series Sensor Unit from the bracket, gently press the tag at the bottom of
the Unit’s case towards the wall, using a small screwdriver or similar, and lift the Unit free.
Durable Units
Wall-mounting brackets are also available for the RL4000-DU Series Sensors
Part Numbers:
Y549 (ML4109- DU)
Y550 (All other RL4000-DU Series units).
2.3 Radio Testing Dongle
This is an optional plug-in device (Code: Y058).
When connected to a 4000 Series Sensor Unit USB socket, it overrides the Unit’s configured
Transmit Interval and forces the Unit to send a transmission every five seconds.
2.4 Compliance
4000 Series Sensor Units have been designed to comply with all relevant RoHS and WEEE EU
Directives and carry CE and UKCA marking.
Hereby, Hanwell Solutions Ltd declares that the RE type 12K5 FIDBN is in compliance with RED

3.2 Testing the Sensor Unit
Before putting a 4000 Series Sensor Unit in its intended monitoring location, we recommend testing
its operation after entering its details into EMS:
•Connect a Radio Testing Dongle (Code: Y058), if you have one, to the USB socket of the
Sensor Unit to speed the test.
1. Check that a signal is being received on the EMS System from the Sensor Unit.
•If you are using a CR3 then you will see the message: ‘last signal #’(where # is the ID
Number set) displayed on the CR3’s LCD.
•If you are using a SR2 then you will see both the ID Number and its signal strength on
the SR2’s LCD.
2. Check that the correct values are displayed on the EMS User Interface on the host PC/Server.
3. Site the Sensor Unit in its intended monitoring location and confirm that signals are still being
reliably received.
3.3 Entering a 4000 Series Sensor Unit’s Calibration Settings into EMS

4. Click on each tab representing the sensor(s)/probe(s) to be calibrated and:
i. Enter the date that the next Calibration is due into the Next Calibration Due Date field,
in the format:
YYYY-MM-DD
∗If the Sensor Unit has just been added to the System, you will notice that the
default date on the form will be one year from the date that the Sensor Unit was
added.
∗The normal calibration period is one year.
∗A good rule of thumb would be 12 months for environments that are either
contaminated or have consistently high operating humidities.
Where the environments are uncontaminated and average humidities are mid-
range, then every 24 months would be acceptable.

3.4 Synchronising Sensor Units
The Synchronise process takes data from a connected USB device and updates its Serial Number,
and Calibration settings in the EMS Database; as well as setting the Physical Transmit ID of the
device from the EMS Database.
Note: If the Physical Transmit ID listed in the Unit does not match the ID of the Sensor that you
are trying to synchronise with, then the ID listed in the Unit’s memory will change to what is
set on the Sensor Unit you are synchronising with.
•Synchronising Sensor Units facilitates efficient communication between the Sensor Units and
EMS.
•Even if a Sensor Unit is already running on EMS, it is strongly recommended to carry out
Synchronisation to set a faster transmit rate when calibrating.
To Synchronise a Sensor Unit:
1. Ensure that the Sensor Unit is connected to the PC/Server running EMS via the supplied Y055
USB lead.
2. Open the EMS Remote Management Tools application.
•EMS Remote Management Tools provide:
∗A physical link to the database and would be used when it is possible to connect
the Sensor Unit directly to the PC with EMS installed via the Y055 USB lead.
∗An HTTP link to data in the EMS database, allowing you to synchronise a Sensor
Unit when using EMS installed on a Virtual Machine (VM).
Refer to the Synchronising Sensors section of the EMS Online User Guide:
http://www.help.emsprocloud.com/index.html?calibration-management-
tools.html#synchronisingsensors
