This quick start guide is designed to start or verify the correct operation of Beta 9.2
controllers; even before mounting. With these devices it is possible to measure variables of
up to five (5) analog or digital sensors; as well as to control processes through five (5) relay
outputs. The information that the devices collect is sent to the Centriomega® monitoring
platform.
To follow this guide you will need:
●Beta 9.2.
●Power cable, for connection to 110 - 220 VAC, 50/60 Hz lines.
●A device enabled for internet navigation (PC, tablet, smartphone).
●Additional cables, cable ties, and tools for electrical work (screwdriver, wire stripper,
and multimeter; mainly).
1. Power the device to turn it on:
Beta 9.2 is powered by a two-wire power cable connecting its AC1 and AC2 inputs
(indicated in Fig. 1) to 110 - 220 VAC, 50/60 Hz lines. In turn, the AC1 line can be bridged to
terminals CM1 and CM2, if you want to use any of the 12A relay outputs: RE1 or RE2 (note
that each 12A output uses 2 terminals).
Please note the following instructions:
●Connections should be made only in the complete absence of supply
voltage, and by trained technical personnel.
●If overvoltage events are foreseeable, surge protectors should be used.
●Before energizing the equipment, check the firmness and continuity of the
connections you make.
●A disconnect switch must be used between the equipment and its power
source, and a 0.5A and 6W fuse must be used between the power supply
and the device.
Once the equipment is energized, it will start its normal operating state, which can be
recognized when the LED indicated in Figure 1 blinks every second.

2. Send data wirelessly:
While the device is in a normal operating state, it will periodically send the data measured
by its enabled sensors (according to the minutes specified by the Publication Time
parameter); through the Sigfox network (to which it connects automatically when it is
turned on), or through a Wi-Fi® network (to which you must connect the device following
the steps in section 2.1. and 2.2.), to the Centriomega® remote monitoring.
NOTE:
In order to connect to the Sigfox network, or to a Wi-Fi® network, the device must have an
internal communication module that allows it. If you did not order it, you can request it from
the manufacturer. Remember that contact information is provided at the beginning of the
document.
2.1. Enter Service Mode:
You can enter Service Mode to configure aspects of the Wi-Fi® network to which you want
to connect the controller. To access the Service Mode, before powering up the device, make
an electrical bridge between terminals S1, S2, and GND (indicated in Figure 2); then energize
the device.

When in Service Mode, the Beta 9.2 device generates a temporary Wi-Fi® network using
its built-in Wi-Fi® module, named "IoTDevice_", followed by the device ID (for example,
"IoTDevice_bcddc212345"). You must connect to this network with a device enabled for
internet navigation (such as a Smartphone, Tablet, or a PC).
Once connected to the network, we must access a page with the IP address: 192.168.4.1
(whose interface is shown in Figure 3). It is possible to enter the indicated page through any
internet browser; there you will find a menu with the buttons "Set up WiFI", and "More
information".

To exit Service Mode, disconnect power to the equipment and remove the jumper between
terminals S1, S2, and GND; after that you can turn it on again.
NOTE:
Exit Service Mode only after making or reviewing the desired settings on the web interface with
IP: 192.168.4.1.
2.2. Connect the device to a Wi-Fi® network:
To configure the credentials (name and password) of the network that will provide internet
access to the Beta 9.2 device, proceed as follows:
1. On the General Configuration Page (Fig. 4), press the Configure Wi-Fi button to go
to a page where you can see a scan of Wi-Fi® networks detected by Beta 9.2, two
fields to enter data, and two buttons (Save and Scan).
The page that loads after selecting Configure Wi-Fi, on the Home Page, is presented in the
following image:

2. In the fields at the bottom of the Wi-Fi® Configuration page (Fig. 4), enter the
credentials (name and password) of the network to which you want to connect
Beta 9.2; then press Save. If you want to connect the device to an open network,
you should not enter any password.
If the credentials entered are not correct, the following page will appear:

3. Enter to remote Monitoring Platform:
To review the data sent to the Centriomega® remote monitoring platform, log in to
iot.omicroning.co (the login form is displayed below), with the credentials provided by the
manufacturer of Beta 9.2:

If you do not have credentials to enter, contact the device manufacturer or provider.
Remember that you can find contact information at the beginning of this document.
4. Review Device Dashboard on the Monitoring Platform:
After entering the remote monitoring platform supported by the manufacturer of Beta 9.2,
you can review the information sent by your device on its unique Dashboard.
To do this, enter the platform, go to a Dashboards (1, in Figure 8); then enter the Dashboard
9

list (2, in Figure 8) and select the Dashboard with your device ID (3, in Figure 8). The unique
identification of each device is marked on its back label.

5. Remote Configurator:
Centriomega® platform users have access to a Dashboard that allows them to set
commands to remotely configure their devices (to find it, search for the Dashboard with the
name “Remote Configurator”, following the steps described in the previous section). Said
Dashboard presents users with a summary of the configuration options available for each
type of Omicron Engineering device, and only allows to choose a parameter to configure,
