miniSensor

ATTENTION
The miniSensor is used in conjunction with an existing Skyhawk CE
account, subscription, and an active in-range Hub unit.
Sensors are shipped with a default sensitivity of 7, unless otherwise noted.
Depending upon your application, this setting may need to be adjusted.
High sensitivity can lead to false alerts from external environmental factors
such as rain, hail or extraneous vibrations. If false alerts arise, the vibration
sensitivity can be adjusted by using the procedure on page 9.

Battery Optimization
If not using the Sensor for more than 1-2 days, it is recommend to turn
the device off. Store unit in dry place when not in use.
While transporting or not actively using the Sensor in a deployment, it is
recommended to power down the device to prevent unwanted and
excessive triggering. Accelerometer will activate due to vibration in
transport and battery life will shorten considerably.
