xxx-W1 family to a CAN bus.

Up to 4 wireless sensors can be connected wirelessly to a single iFLEX TRS 10. The number of

wireless sensors can be extended, as required, by using several transceivers.

How many sensors

can be connected?

All sensors from the xSENS-xxx-W1 family from Hirschmann’s extensive range of wireless sensors

can be used.

Installation

3 Installation

3.1 Mounting the components

The iFLEX TRS 10 is supplied complete with all necessary mounting parts. Mounting can therefore

be performed simply and quickly. For mounting the wireless sensors, please refer to the instructions

provided with the respective sensor.

3.1.1 iFLEX TRS 10

The iFLEX TRS 10 must be mounted in a suitable place on a sufficiently firm surface with the con-

nections at the bottom.

The distance between the holes in the housing is 102 mm.

3.1.2 Short Antenna

Screw the antenna radiator hand tight onto the thread on the TRS 10 or on the top side of the an-

tenna base until you feel a stop. (Remove the protective cap from the thread if necessary).

Preparation of the

antenna

21-810-19-0001_421826_en_Rev_B.doc / 2011-08-09 / Issue B / rk, kg.

Installation

If applicable, the antenna has a magnetic base plate and adheres securely to all ferromagnetic

surfaces.

How do I mount the

antenna?

NOTE

Optimal ranges are achieved if the antenna is aligned in accordance with the alignment of

the wireless sensor antennas and can radiate as freely as possible.

Niches or recesses are therefore less suitable as mounting locations!

Please follow the instructions below for laying the antenna cable (if applicable):

How should the

cable be laid?

IMPORTANT

The antenna cable can be damaged if it is squeezed or kinked.

Therefore, lay the antenna cable in such a way that it is neither squeezed nor laid around

sharp edges!

IMPORTANT

The function of the antenna and hence the whole system can be impaired if a mismatching

antenna radiator is used.

Always use the antenna radiator contained in the scope of supply!

After laying the cable, connect the coaxial connector of the antenna to the antenna socket on the

underside of the iFLEX TRS 10 or connect the antenna directly to the base of the TRS 10. Screw

the connector on hand tight.

Where is the

antenna

connected?

3.2 Electrical connection

Connection of the device to an existing CAN bus is simple thanks to the fully prefabricated connect-

ing cable (length 0.6 m) included in the scope of supply. The CAN T-piece included in the scope of

supply can also be used for this if necessary.

Switch off all systems before commencing with the installation work!

IMPORTANT

Damage to the device if connected to an unsuitable power supply.

The device may only be connected to a DC voltage source of 10 V to 30 V!

4 Commissioning

At least one functional wireless sensor must be available in order to commission and operate the

A guide to commissioning the iFLEX TRS 10 and connecting the wireless sensors is provided be-

1. First, open the battery compartment of the wireless sensor after undoing the 4 screws and

low.

4.1 Adding a Wireless Sensor

remove the batteries as shown in Figure 7.

casing, as pictured below in Figure 8.

Commissioning

3. After Removing the outer cover, supply power to TRS 10 by either using your Deutsch con-

nector wired to your 10 to 30 volt power supply or use a DC power supply to provide 10 to 30

volts to pin 1 and ground to pin 2 of the connector. Refer to Figure 5 for the pin layout of the

connector.

4. Verify power is being supplied to the TRS 10 by checking to see if the “Power” Led is lit as

seen in Figure 9.

Figure 9: “Power” LED as indicated by the red light

5. Next, push and hold the red button located in the upper, left-hand corner of the TRS 10

board (Figure 10). Continue holding the button down for approximately 5 seconds until the

green LED, which corresponds to position 1 of the “Sensor Online” row located on the cover,

begins to blink slowly.

Figure 10: Red push button on TRS 10 board

6. Replace the batteries in the wireless sensor that you are trying to connect, following

the correct polarity. First, you will see the yellow LED located on the bottom of the sensor

turn on and stay lit for approximately 3 to 5 seconds. After the yellow LED on the sensor

changes to a short blink every 5 seconds, verify that the green LED in the “Sensor Online”

row, position 1 is now consistently lit and no longer flashing. If this is true, then your wireless

sensor has successfully connected to the TRS 10.

Commissioning

7. To connect another wireless sensor, move to the next unoccupied position that corresponds

to the “Sensor Online” row located on the cover of the TRS 10, by holding down the same

red button previously used step 5. Follow steps 4 to 6 as a guide if needed.

8. When all of your sensors have been connected to the TRS 10, replace each cover of the

wireless sensors my tightening the four screws. As well, reattach the cover of the TRS 10

making sure the two clips that were pushed in during the removal process have now

snapped back into place. It is critical that all screws be properly tightened and the TRS 10

cover be fitted back to its original position in order to maintain weather resistant capabilities.

Note: If a sensor does not successfully connect, remove its batteries, wait 15 seconds and then

follow steps 4 through 6.

4.3 Troubleshooting

After wiring the iFLEX TRS 10, the device switches itself on as soon as a supply voltage is present

on the CAN bus. After switching on, the system begins with a self-diagnostic routine.

How is the device

switched on?

The self-diagnosis takes approx. 5 seconds. During these tests the LEDs light up successively with

a test pattern:

How long does the

self-diagnosis take?

LED key: off: lights: flashes slowly: flashes rapidly:

If no wireless sensors have been registered and saved yet, only the ‘Power’ LED should be lit after

completion of the self-diagnosis:

How can I tell

whether the device is

working correctly?

If wireless sensors have already been registered and saved, the ‘Sensor Online’ LED of the corre-

sponding channel lights up, indicating that the radio link has been established.

If a ‘Low Battery’ LED lights up, this means that the battery set in the respective wireless sensor is

exhausted (remaining capacity < 6.5%) and must be replaced as soon as possible.

What does it mean

when a ‘Low Battery’

LED lights up?

If a ‘Sensor Online’ LED flashes rapidly after conclusion of the self-diagnosis, this means that the

radio link to the sensor on the indicated channel has been interrupted.

What does it mean

when a ‘Sensor

Online’ LED flashes

rapidly?

NOTE

If the link to a wireless sensor is interrupted, rectify the fault first before putting the system

into operation.
