II. ORDER OF OPERATIONS
It is important to understand the order of operations for activating your sensor. If performed out
of sequence, your sensor may have trouble communicating with Scigiene Premiere. Please
perform the steps below in the order indicated to make sure you are performing your set-up
correctly.
1. Create Scigiene Premiere Account (If new user).
2. Register all sensors and gateways to a network in Scigiene Premiere.
Sensors can only communicate with gateways on the same Scigiene Premiere
network.
3. Connect/power on gateway and wait till it checks into Scigiene Premiere.
4. Power on sensor and verify it checks into Scigiene Premiere.
We recommend powering the sensor on near the gateway then moving to the
installation location, checking signal strength along the way.
5. Configure sensor for use (This can be done at any point after step 2)
6. Install sensor in final location.
Note: For information on setting up Scigiene Premiere and the gateway refer to
the Scigiene Premiere User Guide and the gateways user guide.
Note: Device specific setup is covered in more detail in the following sections.

III. SETUP AND INSTALLATION
If this is your first time using the Scigiene Premiere online portal, you will need to create a new
account. If you have already created an account, start by logging in. For instructions on how to
register and setup your Scigiene Premiere account, please consult the Scigiene Premiere User
Guide.
STEP 1: ADD DEVICE
1. Add the sensor on Scigiene Premiere.
Add the sensor to your account by choosing Sensors in the main menu. Navigate to the Add
Sensor button.
2. Find the device ID. See Figure 1.
The Device ID (ID) and Security Code (SC) are necessary to add a
sensor. These can both be located on the label on the side of your
device.
3. Adding your device. See Figure 2.
You will need to enter the Device ID and the Security Code from
your Sensor in the corresponding text boxes. Use the camera on
your smartphone to scan the QR code on your device. If you do not
have a camera on your phone, or the system is not accepting the
QR code, you may enter the Device ID and Security Code
manually.
•The Device ID is a unique number located on each device
label.
•Next, you’ll be asked to enter the Security Code from your
device. A security code consists of letters and must be
entered in upper case (no numbers). It can also be found on
the barcode label of your device.
When completed, select the Add Device button.
STEP 2: SETUP
Select your use case. See Figure 3.
Unlike most sensors, choosing a use case in Step 2 of adding this
sensor does not give you the option to customize your settings. These
will need to be adjusted in the settings tab for your device. See page 9
for instructions.
Select the Skip button when completed.

STEP 3: VALIDATION
Check your signal. See Figure 4.
The validation checklist will help you ensure your sensor is
communicating with the gateway properly and you have a strong
signal.
Checkpoint 4 will only complete when your sensor achieves a
solid connection to the gateway. Once you insert the batteries (or
flip the switch on an industrial sensor) the sensor will
communicate with the gateway every 30 seconds for the first few
minutes.
Select the Save button when completed.
STEP 4: ACTIONS
Choose your actions. See Figure 5.
Actions are the alerts that will be sent to your phone or email in
the event of an emergency. Low battery life and device inactivity
are two of the most common actions to have enabled on your
device. See page 12 for how to set actions for your sensor.
Select the Done button when completed.

IV. SETTING UP YOUR G-FORCE SNAPSHOT SENSOR
When you are finished adding the sensor to your account, the next step is to insert the battery. The type
of battery you use will depend on the category of your sensor. Gen 2 Wireless G-Force Snapshot
Sensors will either be powered by commercial coin cell, AA,
or an industrial battery.
INSTALLING BATTERIES
GEN 2 commercial sensors are powered by AA or CR2032 coin cell batteries. Industrial
sensors need a 3.6V Lithium battery supplied from Scigiene or another industrial battery
supplier. Scigiene encourages customers to recycle all old batteries.
Coin Cell
The lifespan of a standard CR2032 coin cell battery in a GEN 2 G-Force Snapshot Sensor
is up to 2 years.
Install a coin cell battery by first taking the sensor and pinching the sides of the
enclosure. Gently pull up the enclosure, separating the sensor from its base.
Then slide a new CR2032 coin cell battery with the positive side facing toward
the base. Press the enclosure back to together; you will hear a small click.
Lastly, open Scigiene select Sensors from the navigation menu. Verify that
Scigiene Premiere is showing the sensor has a full battery level.
AA Batteries The standard version of this sensor is powered by two
replaceable 1.5 V AA sized batteries (included with purchase).
The typical battery life is up to 10 years.
This sensor is also available with a line power option. The line
powered version of this sensor has a barrel power connector
allowing it to be powered by a standard 3.0-3.6 V power supply.
The line powered version also uses two standard 1.5 V AA
batteries as backup for uninterrupted operation in the event of
line power outage.
Power options must be selected at time of purchase, as the
internal hardware of the sensor must be changed to support the
selected power requirements.
Place batteries in the device by first taking the sensor and sliding the battery door open. Insert fresh AA
batteries in the carriage, then shut the battery door.

Complete the process by opening up Scigiene Premiere and selecting Sensors from the main navigation
menu. Verify that Scigiene Premiere is showing the sensor has a full battery level.
Industrial Batteries 3.6V Lithium batteries for the Industrial Wireless G-Force Snapshot Sensor is
supplied by Scigiene. The GEN 2 battery life for the Industrial battery is up to 7
years.
Industrial sensors come shipped with a 3.6V Lithium battery already installed.
They do not need to be taken apart for battery installation and are not
rechargeable.
For the sensor to function properly, you will need to attach the included antenna.
Simply screw the antenna onto the barrel connector on the top of the device.
Make sure to snug the
antenna connection, but do not over tighten. When placing the sensor, make
sure to mount the sensor with the antenna oriented straight up (vertical) to
ensure the best wireless radio signal.
Since the electronics are sealed within the sensor housing, we have added an "On/Off" switch to the unit
for your convenience. If you are not using the sensor, simply leave the button in the off position to
preserve battery life. If the sensor needs to be reset for any reason, you can simply cycle the power by
turning the switch to the "Off" position and waiting 30 seconds before powering back on.
MOUNTING THE SENSOR
Scigiene wireless G-Force Snapshot sensors can be mounted using screws, double-sided
tape, and even glue. Make sure you have a strong signal to Scigiene Premiere and the gateway before
installing the sensor so you can make the necessary adjustments.

ANTENNA ORIENTATION
To get the best performance out of your GEN 2 Wireless Sensors, it is important to
note proper antenna orientation and sensor positioning. Antennas should all be oriented in
the same direction, pointing vertically from the sensor. If the sensor is mounted flat on its
back on a horizontal surface, you should bend the antenna as close to the sensor housing
as possible giving you the most amount of antenna pointing vertical. You should make the
antenna wire as straight as possible, avoiding any kinks and curving of the wire. Sensors
must be at least 3 ft. away from other sensors and the wireless gateway to function.

V. SENSOR OVERVIEW IN SCIGIENE PREMIERE
Select Sensors from the main navigation menu on Scigiene Premiere to access the sensor
overview page and begin adjusting your G-Force Snapshot Sensor .
MENU SYSTEM
A. Details - Displays a graph of recent sensor data
B. History - List of all past heartbeats and readings
C. Events - List of all events attached to this sensor
D. Settings - Editable levels for your sensor
E. Calibrate - Set your sensor to read more accurately
Directly under the tab bar is an overview of your sensor. This allows you to see the signal
strength and the battery level of the selected sensor. A colored dot in the left corner of the
sensor icon denotes its status.
•Green indicates the sensor is checking in and within user-defined safe parameters.
•Red indicates the sensor has met or exceeded a user-defined threshold or triggered
event.
•Gray indicates that no sensor readings are being recorded, rendering the sensor
inactive.
•Yellow indicates that the sensor reading is out of date, due to perhaps a missed
heartbeat check-in.
Details View
The Details View will be the first page you see upon
selecting which sensor you would like to modify.
A. The sensor overview section will be above every page.
This will consistently display the present reading, signal
strength, battery level, and status.
B. The Recent Readings section below the chart shows your
most recent data received by the sensor.
C. This graph charts how the sensor fluctuates throughout a
set date range. To change the date range displayed in the
graph, navigate up to the top of the Readings Chart section
on the right-hand corner to change the from and/or to date.

Readings View
Selecting the Readings Tab within the tab bar allows you to view the sensor’s data history as
time stamped data.
•On the far right of the Sensor History Data is a cloud icon. ( ) Selecting this icon will
export an Excel file for your sensor into your download folder.
The data file will have the following fields:
MessageID: Unique identifier of the message in our database.
Sensor ID: If multiple sensors are exported, you can distinguish between the sensors using this
number - even if the names are the same.
Sensor Name: The name you have given the sensor.
Date: The date the message was transmitted from the sensor.
Value: Data presented with transformations applied, but without additional labels.
Formatted Value: Data transformed and presented as it is shown in the monitoring portal.
Raw Data: Raw data as it is stored from the sensor.
Sensor State: Binary field represented as an integer containing information about the state of
the sensor when the message was transmitted. (See “Sensor State” explained below.)
Alert Sent: Boolean indicating if this reading triggered a notification to be sent from the system.
Sensor State
The value presented here is generated from a single byte of stored data.
A byte consists of 8 bits of data that we read as Boolean (True (1) / False (0)) fields.
When broken into individual bits, the State byte contains the following information:
aaaabcde
STS: This value is specific to the sensor profile and is often used to indicate error states
and other sensor conditions.
UNUSED: This sensor does not use these bits.
AWARE: Sensors become aware when critical sensor specific conditions are met. Going aware
can cause the sensor to trigger and report before the heartbeat and cause the gateway to
forward the data to the server immediately resulting in near immediate transmission of the data.
TEST: This bit is active when the sensor is first powered on or reset and remains active for the
first 9 messages when using default configurations.
STS Specific Codes:
0 = No problems, sensor is functioning normally.
1 = Open circuit detected in lead.
2 = Short circuit detected in lead.
3 = Range error. Temperature is reading outside of -40 F and 257 F (-40 C and 125 C).
If the user has calibrated the sensor, the Calibrate Active field is set to False (0) and the
sensor is operating inside the Min and Max Thresholds, the bits look like 00000000, this is
represented as 0.
If the sensor is using factory calibrations and it is outside the threshold, the bit values are
00010010 and are represented as 18(16+2 because both the bit in the 16 value is set and
the bit in the 2 value is set).

Settings View
To edit the operational settings for a sensor, choose the “Sensor” option in the main
navigation menu then select the “Settings” tab to access the configuration page.
A. Sensor Name is the unique name you give
the sensor to easily identify it in a list and in
any
notifications.
B. Heartbeat Interval is when the G-Force
Snapshot sensor wakes up and delivers its
current XYZ axis readings.
C. Synchronize is a setting that in small
sensor networks synchronizes communication.
The
default setting OFF allows the sensors to
randomize their communications therefore
maximizing communication robustness.
Setting this will synchronize the
communication of the
sensors.
D. Failed transmissions before link mode is
the number of transmissions the sensor sends
without response from a gateway before it
goes to battery saving link mode. In link mode, the sensor will scan for a new gateway and if not
found will enter battery saving sleep mode for up to 60 minutes before trying to scan again.
Lower numbers will allow sensors to find new gateways with fewer missed readings. Higher
numbers will enable the sensor to remain with its current gateway in a noisy RF environment
better (Zero will cause the sensor to never join another gateway to find a new gateway, the
battery will have to be cycled out of the sensor.)
The default heartbeat interval is 120 minutes or two hours. It is recommended that you do
not lower your heartbeat level too much because it will drain the battery.
Finish by selecting the Save button.
Note: Be sure to select the Save button anytime you make a change to any of
the sensor parameters. All changes made to the sensor settings will be
downloaded to the sensor on the next sensor heartbeat (check-in). Once a
change has been made and saved, you will not be able to edit that sensor’s
configuration again until it has downloaded the new setting.

Calibrate View
If a sensor type has readings that need to be reset, the “Calibrate”
tab will be available for selection in the sensor tab bar.
To calibrate a sensor, ensure that the environment of the sensor
and other calibration devices are stable.
Enter the actual (accurate) reading from the calibration device into
the text field. If you need to change the unit of measurement you
can do that here.
Press Calibrate.
To ensure that the calibration command is received prior to the sensors next check-in, press the control
button on the back of the gateway, once, to force communication (Cellular and Ethernet gateways).
After pressing the "Calibrate" button and choosing the gateway button, the server will send the command
to calibrate the specified sensor to the gateway. When the sensor checks-in, it will send the pre-
calibration reading to the gateway, then receive the calibration command and update its configuration.
When the process is completed, it will send a “Calibration Successful” message. The server will display
the sensor’s last pre-calibrated reading for this check-in, then all future readings from the sensor will be
based on the new calibration setting.
It is important to note that after calibrating the sensor, the sensor reading returned to the server is based
on pre-calibration settings. The new calibration settings will take effect on the next sensor heartbeat.
Creating a Calibration Certificate
Creating a sensor calibration certificate will mask the calibration
tab from those who should not have permissions to adjust these
settings. Permissions for self-certifying a calibration must be
enabled in user permissions.
Directly below the calibrate button is the selection to "Create
Calibration Certificate.”
A. The Calibration Facility Field will be filled. Select the
dropdown menu to change your facility.
B. The “Certificate Valid Until” field must be set one day after
the date contained in the "Date Certified" field.
C. "Calibration Number" and "Calibration Type" are unique
values to your certificate.
D. If necessary, you can reset the heartbeat interval here to 10
minutes, 60 minutes, or 120 minutes. By default, this will be set
to no change.
Note: If you would like to send the changes to the sensor right away, please
remove the battery(s) for a full 60 seconds, then re-insert the battery(s). This
forces the communication from the sensor to the gateway and this the message to
make a change from the gateway back to the sensor. (If the sensors are industrial
sensors, turn the sensor off for a full minute, rather than removing the battery).

E. Choose the "Save" button before moving on.
When the new certificate is accepted, the Calibration tab will change to a Certificate tab.
You will still be able to edit the certificate by choosing the Certificate Tab and navigating
down to "Edit Calibration Certificate."
The tab will revert to "Calibrate" after the period for the certificate ends.

before sending and press Set.
•A green icon indicates that the users that will receive the notifications.
•If a delay has been selected, the delay time will display beside the icon.

VII. SECURITY
Data security and integrity is paramount at Scigiene. Each layer of the system is secured
using encryption and protocols designed to protect customer data and information. The
system consists of sensor(s), gateway(s), and Scigiene Premiere software. One or more
sensors communicate with Scigiene Premiere software through a gateway.
SENSOR TO GATEWAY
Sensor and gateway radio modules are purpose built devices with proprietary unreadable
firmware, which means the sensor cannot be physically hacked or re-purposed for
malicious purposes. This adds a strong level of inherent security even before considering
encryption. Data transmission between the sensor and gateway are secured using
Encrypt-RF Security (Diffie-Hellman Key Exchange + AES-128 CBC for sensor data
messages). Beyond the encryption, data transmissions are also structurally verified and
CRC checked before they are passed up to Scigiene Premiere or down to the sensor, this
ensures the integrity of the data itself.
GATEWAY TO SCIGIENE PREMIERE
Data transmissions between the gateway and Scigiene Premiere software are secured using
256-bit, bank level encryption.
SCIGIENE PREMIERE
Access is granted through the Scigiene Premiere user interface, or an Application
Programming Interface (API) safeguarded by 256-bit Transport Layer Security (TLS 1.2)
encryption. TLS is a blanket of protection to encrypt all data exchanged between Scigiene
Premiere and you. The same encryption is available to you whether you are a Basic or Premiere
user of Scigiene Premiere. You can rest assured that your data is safe with Scigiene Premiere.
SENSOR PRINTS
Sensor prints utilize a shared key between the software and the sensor to ensure that once
the data comes to Scigiene Premiere it is guaranteed to be from the device identified by the
sensor print. If this feature is purchased for the device (via Scigiene Premiere software) the
devices data becomes impossible to spoof by any malicious device.

SUPPORT
