This document provides a comprehensive guide on how to configure the Sentrius™BT510 Sensor functionality, including
Bluetooth settings and temperature readings, motion, and contact detection.
The Sentrius™BT510 Sensor is a battery powered, Bluetooth v5 long-range integrated sensor
platform enabling robust, reliable sensor data transfer in the harshest of environments. It contains a
temperature sensor, also seamlessly integrating open/close contact and motion/impact detection and
BLE beaconing capabilities. The BT510 is powered by Laird Connectivity’s field proven BL654 BLE
module that integrates Nordic Semiconductor’s nRF52840 SoC silicon.

Note: Laird Connectivity has a comprehensive staff of design services engineers available to help customize the sensor.
Please contact your local Laird sales representative for more details.
See the BT510 product brief for detailed specifications. It’s available from the documentation tab of the BT510 series product

The Sentrius™ BT510 doesn’t have a power switch. It is shipped with an installed battery and is in a low power state called shelf
mode.
To wake the device, firmly press the button in the center of the round face for at least three seconds until the green LED turns
on.
When you release the button, the green LED blinks once a second.
The sensor is in sleep mode from the factory. Pressing the button for three seconds wakes the sensor and it starts to advertise.
The sensor is now ready for normal operation configuration. This can be done using a phone or gateway. The LED blinks for 30
seconds or until a connection is made, the button is pressed again, or the sensor stops advertising. The default state of the
sensor is to advertise indefinitely.
Quickly press the button to perform a battery good check. If the battery is good, the sensor briefly blinks the green LED and
starts to advertise. If the battery is below the recommend operating voltage, then the LED does not blink but the sensor tries to
advertise.
If the button is held for more than ten seconds and released, the sensor performs a factory reset. A factory reset erases all logs,
pairing information, and reset the configuration to its default state.
When the button as shown in Figure 1 is held for 10 seconds, the LED turns yellow or red. If the LED turns red, then factory
reset is not allowed using the button. This is because the sensor is locked. The sensor can be locked by using one of the JSON
properties. When locked, the factory reset can still be performed using Bluetooth. If the LED turns yellowish orange, then factory
reset is allowed. The yellowish orange LED blinks when the button is released.
The battery is a 3-volt lithium of CR2477 type.
Note: The battery door cover has a gasket inside to keep out liquids.
The sensor can be cleaned with a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Because it is not waterproof, do not immerse it in water.
The sensor does not require any calibration.

The Sentrius™ BT510 advertises events. An event can be a temperature measurement, an alarm, a battery measurement, a
button press, a door opening/closing, or movement. The configuration of a sensor determines what kind of events it generates.
You can configure a sensor using a Bluetooth connection and the Laird virtual serial port(vSP) service. The protocol sent over
the virtual serial port is JSON-RPC version 2. This allows you to add new commands and features without changing the
Bluetooth interface. More details can be found at https://www.jsonrpc.org/specification.
Advertising each event once it becomes active is the default behavior of the sensor. This provides ample time for a gateway to
detect an event, maximizes the lifetime of the battery, and allows the sensor to be a good RF citizen. Once a sensor is configured,
it is possible that a gateway never needs to connect to a sensor. If multiple events occur at the same time, the sensor queues
events and advertises each one for the configured advertising duration (default of indefinite).
If the sensor is configured to advertise indefinitely, then the advertisement queue is bypassed.
For each new event, the record number increments. You can use this value to filter out duplicate advertisements.
The TLV (type-length-value) fields are shown in the order that is broadcast by the sensor. However, this order is not guaranteed.
The sensor can be configured to transmit with an output power of +8 dBm. It can also be configured to use the LE coded PHY.
When using the coded PHY, the scan response isn’t used.

Method (Command)
Parameters
Description
ledTest
integer, duration of each step
Both LEDs off for X milliseconds
Green LED on for X milliseconds
Red LED on for X milliseconds
Both LED on for X milliseconds.
Processor remains running (doesn't enter low power mode) for
duration of test. The minimum duration is 10 milliseconds. This
command is primarily for production test.
The sensor has multiple properties (attributes) that can be used to configure it for a particular use case.
The read only parameters reflect the current state of the sensor. Issuing a JSON-RPC command to get the temperature does
not cause the sensor to take a temperature measurement. It returns the value of the last temperature measurement taken.
As indicated in the table, some parameters require the sensor to be reset before they take effect.
Note: The sensor contains more parameters than those that are listed in the table. They are used during production and
reliability testing by Laird Connectivity. They may not exist in future software versions.
In this example system, the device name is changed during configuration so that unconfigured devices are the only devices
that advertise with the name BT510.
1. Start Scan for BT510.
Found Device E235431D1F8E with RSSI -47 and advertisement data

All sensor events are recorded in a non-volatile log. The log can store seven days of measurements with a temperature sample
rate of 15 minutes. Each event has a timestamp and a sample ID. These values are the same as those found in the
advertisements.
The log can be read in FIFO mode or LIFO mode. In FIFO mode, the oldest event is retrieved first. In LIFO mode, the last event
is retrieved first.
Many systems do not require the traceability that the event log provides. When the log is full, the oldest event is overwritten.
The JSON format used for sensor configuration has too much overhead for large amounts of data. Therefore, the event log data
is transferred with a size in bytes and a Base64 encoded array of event structures.

G Threshold –Sets the acceleration threshold on the
sensor. The lower the number, the lower amount
acceleration acted on the device is required to trigger the
alarm.
Temp Delta –The alarm is triggered when the temperature
change between intervals is greater than value written here.
Temp High T1 –Alarm that triggers when the sensor
temperature is higher than this value. It is also logged when
triggered and has the high temp icon light up on the data
screen.
Temp High T2 –Behaves the same as Temp High T1.This
is just another alarm that can be triggered if the temperature
is high than this value.
Temp Low T1 –Alarm that triggers when the sensor
temperature is lower than this value. It is also logged when
triggered and has low temp icon light up on the data screen.
Temp Low T2: This behaves the same as Temp Low T1.
This is just another alarm that can be triggered if the
temperature is lower than this value.
