Introduction
The D3S Static Node is a unique radiation detection solution which incorporates
the Kromek D3S detector into a discreet, unattended device that can be mounted
onto urban infrastructure.
The D3S Static Node blends the high sensitivity of the D3S detector with an
additional electronics system which allows the stationary, unmanned device to
communicate with the SIGMA network via a 3G/4G connection. In the event of a
power outage, the device utilises battery power.

situation that does not have 16A current limitation, then a
current limiting device must also be installed rated to 16A.
6.3.2 Anchor Points
The D3S Static Node contains HAZARDOUS LIVE parts.
Follow all instructions outlined in the Installation section of this
manual. Special care must be used to use the anchor points
for the mains cable to prevent risk of electrical shock.

There are three anchor points in the D3S Static Node. One is near the terminal
block and two are near the bottom right side of the board. They are all labelled
with the caution label.
In order to prevent any risk from the power cable being ripped free, it is
mandatory to use the anchor point at the terminal block, and one of the two
located at the bottom right hand side.
Every unit is shipped with a cable restraint and cable clamp that should be used
for this task. If these restraints are missing or appear damaged, any off the shelf
cable restraint can be used, but a unit must not be installed without them.

7.1 Maintenance Inspection Procedure
•Disconnect the Mains Breaker before opening the device.
•Inspect the battery for swelling or high temperature. If battery appears
unusual disconnect it from the device immediately.
•Replace the battery only with a Kromek approved alternative.

•Examine the enclosure for water ingress. If water is pooling in the
device discontinue use immediately and consult with your Kromek
representative.
•If the fuses need replacing, the ratings are as follows:
•F1: Thermal Fuse 104°C
•F2: 2A(T), 250V, 5 x 20mm
•Return the cover to the device before restoring power via the Mains
Breaker.
8 Configuring Communications
Static Node Admin is designed for Kromek’s range of static node devices giving
easy connection and setup functions tailored to the detectors and their
applications.
Static Node Admin allows for the configuration of static node devices including
provision the device for Sigma network integration.
Configuration can be performed via direct connection to the primary network port.
8.1 Connecting to a device
If the static node is already deployed and connected to an established network,
then configuration can be performed across the primary ethernet connection.

MAL-OPS-0970 Version 1.0 Page 17 of 28
If the IP address of the device is known, then a direct connection can be made
by entering the IP address and clicking ‘Connect’.
The software also supports finding networked devices by a broadcast-based
network discovery system. If the network allows for broadcast-based messages,
then all devices on the network should appear in the list after a few seconds.
Click the appropriate device in the list to connect.
Section 8.10.1 can be referred to if the device needs to be provisioned.
8.2 Main Screen Overview
Once connected to a device the main screen is displayed:
A) Command bar. Commands are applied to the connected device.
B) Device summary. A summary of details about the currently connected
device. More in-depth details can be found on the ‘Status’ page.
C) Configuration Pages. Settings are split up into user friendly configuration
pages. Click the page name to move to the appropriate page.
D) Main application area. Contents change depending on the page currently
highlighted on the left

8.3 Command Bar (A)
Reload Configuration –Reload the entire configuration by reading it off the
attached hardware device. Be aware reloading the configuration will lose all
unsaved changes to the devices’ configuration.
Save Changes –Save all changes to the attached hardware device. Once
applied it cannot be undone.
Disconnect –Disconnect from the device and return to the connection screen.
Note any unsaved changes will be lost.
Reboot Device –Reboot the device. When the device is restarted you will
automatically be disconnected. Any unsaved changes will be lost on
disconnection.
Apply Software Update –Apply a software update to the connected device from
a file.
8.4 Device Summary (B)
A summary of the currently connected device is always shown on screen:
•IP Address –The IP address of the device currently connected. This
will always be 10.0.0.1 when connecting via the Debug Port.
•Sigma –Status of the connection to the Sigma network. When
connected the device will automatically upload measurements to the
network.
•Power –Whether the device is currently running on external (mains) or
battery power including battery estimated charge %

MAL-OPS-0970 Version 1.0 Page 19 of 28
8.5 Application Sections (C)
Application functionality is split up into several sections displayed on the left side
of the screen:
Status –Display useful information about the current state of the device.
Configuration –Main configurable options for the device. Editing values will not
automatically be saved to the hardware device. You must click the ‘Save
Changes’ button in the command bar for the settings to be applied.
Network–Configure the primary network interface.
Log Files (Advanced mode only) –Displays the application logs to aid in
resolving issues.
8.6 Status Page
Displays the overall status of the device including software and hardware
versions, uptime and Sigma network details:

1. Details
a. Software Version / OS Version –Versions of the currently installed
software on the Static Node device.
b. Detector Serial, Type, F/W and revision –Details of the D3 device
included inside the Static Node. Firmware revision (F/W version) will
automatically be updated via the main Static Node software to ensure it is
running a compatible release.
2. Status
a. Uptime –Overall uptime of the Static Node since the device was first
powered on / last restarted.
b. Battery –Battery charge state as an estimated percentage.
c. External Power –Whether the device is currently being powered by a
mains supply voltage. If this is ‘False’ then the device is currently running
off its internal battery.
d. State –Whether measurements are currently being recorded by the Static
Node. If no connection to the Sigma network is available, then
measurement data will be cached on the device until a valid connection is
established (see ‘Cached Measurements’)
e. NTP Time Synchronized –Whether the device has acquired a valid time
from an internet-based time server. In order to upload data to the Sigma
network and ensure it is displayed correctly the device must have a valid
time. No data will be uploaded to the Sigma network until it has a validated
time. If the time is not synchronized, then measurements will be cached
rather than uploaded to the Sigma network.
f. Sigma Network –The current state of the connection to the Sigma
network. If connected, then measurements will be uploaded to the network
automatically. If disconnected, then measurements will be cached locally
until a connection is established. Connection can be established either via
the primary network or GPRS mobile network.
g. Cached Measurements –In order to avoid lost measurement data when a
connection to the Sigma network is unavailable all measurements will be
cached locally to the device. The maximum cache size can be configured
in the Configuration page. Once a valid connection is established to the
Sigma network all cached measurements will be uploaded. Cached
measurements will be uploaded in chronological order (Oldest first).
