2Introduction
The Layer N SS-015 Smart Sensor provides an easy way tointegrate process anddigital pulse inputs into a Layer N
ecosystem. SS-015 Smart Sensors provide a wireless sub-GHz interface that reads process and digital pulse inputs and
transmits them to a Layer NGateway and the Cloud.External process anddigital signal devices connect tothe SS-015
through anM12 5-pin connector (recommended M12.5-S-M-FM screw terminal accessory sold separately) and easily pair
to a Layer N Gateway through a one-button pairing system. The device can be powered byinternal batteries, USB power,
or an optional power supply (sold separately).
The SS-015 may beconfigured tomonitor the on/off state of the input signals, the pulse rate/duty cycle of the primary
input, orthe pulse delay between the two signals. The pulse totalizing function supports both standard counting and
up/down counting.
Amixed-mode configuration option allows for the measurement of one process input and one digital pulse input which
supports frequency (rate), pulse width, pulse duty cycle, and pulse counting (totalizer).
Important: Do not power off the Layer N Gateway or the Layer N SS-015 before the Gateway registration is
complete.

4Hardware Setup
4.1 Digital and Process Input Wiring
The Layer N SS-015 accepts digital and process inputs through its M12 5-Pin connector. Users connecting wires
directly to the SS-015 may refer to the wiring diagram provided below:
The table below denotes the LED flashing and color patterns of the Layer N SS-015 LED indicator.

5Layer N Cloud Account and Gateway Registration
Before setting up the SS-015, ensure that a Layer N Cloud account has been created and that a Layer N Gateway has been
registered to that account. Refer to the Layer N Gateway supporting documentation to complete this process.
Important: If you are adding an SS-015 to a previously registered Layer N Gateway, it is required to update the
Gateway to the latest firmware to ensure the Gateway and SS-015 communicate and operate correctly. Follow the
steps below to update the Gateway.
Figure 3: Layer N Cloud Interface Gateway
Step 2: Click Update Firmware.
Step 3: Click Confirm Update.
Once the Gateway update is complete, it will be ready to pair to the SS-015.
Important: During the update process, the Gateway will not be able to send or receive readings until the update
process is complete.

6SYNC Configuration
Layer N Smart devices are easily configurable through Omega’s SYNC configuration software. Ensure SYNC is running on a
Windows OS computer before continuing. Connect the SS-015 to a computer running SYNC using a micro-USB 2.0 cable.
Note: SYNC is available to download for free on the Omega website.
6.1 Connecting to SYNC – Automatic Detect
Once the SS-015 is connected to a computer, SYNC will automatically detect the device and display readings.
Note: If live readings from the SS-015 are displayed on SYNC, skip ahead to the section titled Input
Configuration.
6.2 Connecting to SYNC – Manual
If SYNC does not automatically detect the device, follow these instructions to manually connect it.
Step 2: Proceed through the Add Device Wizard and click End Device/Probe.
6.2.1 Communication Interface
Set the communication parameters for the Layer N Smart Interface that will be connected.
Note: The connection type and parameters must be accurate for a proper connection to be established.
Failure to accurately set up communication parameters may result in communication errors.
•Connection Type: Select the type of connection that is established between the SS-015 and the computer.
•Command Timeout: The maximum time (in milliseconds) for a command to be completed before the
command is aborted.
Note: The default command timeout is 500 milliseconds. It is recommended that this section be left
unchanged to avoid communication errors.
•Device Address: The default device address is 1. The numerical value will automatically increase to the next
available device address for every new device added to prevent duplicate addresses.
•Device IP or Port: The COM port number that the device is connected to on the computer.
•BaudRate: Controls bits per second
•DataBits: The number of bits in each character sent.
Figure 4: USB Communication Interface
Figure 5: USB Serial Communication Interface
9|Page

•Parity: A means of checking the correctness of a character by adding an extra bit to the character and setting
the value based on all the other bits in the character.
•StopBits: The number of bits used to indicate the end of the character.
When the user has completed setting the communication parameters for the device, click Finish.
6.3 Input Configuration
The SS-015 can accept up to three 0-24 mA, 0-1.0 VDC, or 0-2.0 VDC process inputs, one digital pulse input, or a mix of
one process and one digital input. These modes are detailed in the below sections.
6.3.1 Process Inputs Interface
To configure the process inputs, follow the steps below:
Figure 6: SYNC interface triple process
Step 1: Click the Inputs configuration tab on SYNC and choose from Single, Dual, or Triple Process in the Type
dropdown.
Step 2: Click on each input channel and choose between the mA and mV options from the Device Range/Type
drop-down. Click Apply Settings when done.
6.3.1.1 4-20 mA Device Connection
An input channel configured for 0-24 mA can measure the output of a 4-20 mA device. The Current Loop
interface measures the current into the selected input by converting it to a voltage measurement across
a fixed 49.9-ohm resistor.
