2. SLOC Device Management (SDM)
SLOC Device Management consists of a web portal (https://sdm.sloc.one/) and an Android
app, which is needed for the configuration.
2.1. First login to the SDM portal
If you purchase your products through SLOC, you have been sent a registration email to
register in the SDM portal and assign a password.
If you purchase the product via an external platform, please use the e-mail address with
which the order was placed. You will find the password in the product packaging on the
enclosed info sheet. You will then receive a registration link and can assign your password.
(Login Screen)
(SDM Portal Homepage)
2.2. App Download & Installation
The app can be downloaded to a smartphone/tablet via the SLOC Support Center
(https://support.sloc.one) on a smartphone/tablet by clicking on your product (SPR-203)
and then downloading the APK file. This can be done directly from the smartphone/tablet
or via a PC and USB cable. Afterwards the app can be installed.
For more information on APK installation, please refer to chapter 3 of the SLOC Software Manuals at support.sloc.one.

3. SLOC activating/deactivating
3.1. Activating:
To configure a SLOC, the transport mode of the SLOC must first be deactivated and/or the
BLE visibility must be activated.
To do this, the magnet (included in the scope of delivery) must be placed on that side of the
SLOC for at least 2s and, if necessary, moved back and forth on which the magnet symbol
is shown (see illustration).
3.2. Deactivating BLE Visibility:
BLE communication is automatically disabled after 60 seconds. After that it can be
reactivated with the magnet (see chapter 3.1).
3.3. Transport mode
The transport mode is the mode in which the SLOC is sent (i.e. the SLOC measures and
sends no data and consumes no power).
To put an activated SLOC back into transport mode, select the SLOC in the SDM app and
click the button "Transportmode on" under "ADVANCE".

4. SLOC Configuration
On the following pages the configuration is explained step by step with pictures.
IMPORTANT:
Be sure to configure the SLOC before assembly (see Chapter 5) and check the data
transmission (see Chapter 4).
NOTE:
The BLE of the SLOC is deactivated after 60 seconds. If a SLOC is no longer accessible while
using the app, wake it up again with the magnet (see chapter 2.1.).
Registration in the SDM App:
Use SLOC Device Management login data (see
Chapter 1).

(see sticker on SLOC)
Note:
The BLE of the SLOC is deactivated after 60 seconds. If
the app cannot establish a connection, the SLOC must
be reactivated with the magnet.

if the address is not correct, change it
manually
Click on SAVE
8. SETUP 1/2
Click on SAVE

SPR-203 Initial Setup

Load State:
Enabled: Load state is measured and
determined in intervals
Max. Distance for status “loaded”
Distance (in mm) from SLOC at which the
condition is considered loaded
Check Interval for load state:
Time interval (in sec) in which the load state is
redefined
Beacon Localization:
Activated: SLOC permanently scans for SPR-
203 reference near the position determination
Height Measurement:
Activated: SLOC measures and advertises its
lifting height when moving
Calibration:
Active: SLOC calibrates its current height to
0mm after some downtime
Interval for Calibration:
Time in minutes, which the SLOC must stand
still to calibrate to 0mm. (If the actual measured
lift height is more than 500mm, the double time is
waited until calibration)
Reference SLOC MAC:
MAC address of the corresponding SPR-203
reference.
Interval for Sleep Time
Time in minutes, which the Sloc must be
immobilized to enter the energy saving sleep
mode. (must be greater than twice the Calibration
Time!)
Click on Confirm

6. Mounting
6.1. SPR-203
The SLOC is mounted in the center of the fork using SLOC Easy Mount brackets (see
chapter 6.2) or cable ties (see illustrations).
Mounting instructions:
•The SLOC must be mounted with the logo visible at the top
•Distance between sensor and pallet / container should be at least 5cm
•The measuring range of the ultrasound must not be blocked by an object
SLOC Easy Mount:
•2 SLOC Easy Mount brackets are included in delivery.
•With these brackets an easy installation is guaranteed.
•The SLOC can be quickly removed thanks to the clip holder and e.g. batteries can be
changed.

Mounting with cable ties:
6.2. SPR-203 Reference
The associated SPR-203 Reference should be mounted as close as possible to and at the
same height as the SPR-203 on 0mm.
For this purpose cable ties or the SLOC Easy Mount can be used again. The SPR-203
Reference should be mounted at a non-moving place (no stroke).

Example – 0mm (0x0000):
7.7. Distance in mm
The distance measurement to the object is transmitted in millimeters (mm).
Datatype:uint16
Example – 60mm (0x003C):
7.8. Acceleration (shock)
The maximum acceleration that has occurred within the last 5 seconds is given in G.
