INTRODUCTION
This manual is designated for Vega Smart-SS0102 Smoke sensor (hereinafter – device,
sensor) manufactured by Vega-Absolute OOO and provides information on powering and
activation procedure, control commands and functions of the device.
This manual is targeted at specialists familiar with installation work fundamentals for
electronic and electrical equipment.
To provide the stable radio between the gateway and the end device it is
recommend avoiding the device installation in the places which are
barriers for the radio signal getting through like a reinforced floors and
walls, a basement, an underground facilities and wells, a metal case etc.
The necessary stage for the network deploying including a big quantity
of end devices is a radio planning work with nature experiments
Vega-Absolute OOO reserves the right to make changes to the manual related to the
improvement of equipment and software, as well as to eliminate typos and inaccuracies,
without prior notice.
This equipment cannot be used to create and operate fire-fighting
systems

1 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
DEVICE DESCRIPTION
Vega Smart-SS0102 smoke sensor is designed to detect fire in a protected area,
accompanied by the emission of smoke. The sensor periodically (every ten seconds) is
analyzing the environment and switch on an emergency warning via a light and sound
indication when a smoke is detected. In addition, the sensor sends an alarm signal to the
LoRaWAN network.
Vega Smart-SS0102 can be used to protect rooms, buildings, and structures from fire
and/or smoke.
The sensor is powered by two CR123A batteries each with 1400 mAh capacity.
The internal clock is set automatically when device connected to the "Vega LoRaWAN
Configurator" via USB and may be corrected through LoRaWAN.
OPERATION ALGORITHM
The device has the next operation modes.
“Standby” mode is a main mode of the device operation. When the device switches to
“Standby” mode it stands to guard after 60 seconds and starts poll the smoke sensor every 10
seconds. If the calibration value of triggering threshold is exceeded, the device makes two
more measurements every 2 seconds to confirm the fact of triggering. If all three
measurements show that triggering threshold has been exceeded, the detector switches to
the "Fire" mode. If the measurements after 2 seconds are below triggering threshold, the
device does not register an alarm and continues to work in "Standby" mode.
“Fire” mode is an alarm mode. The device sends the alarm packet to LoRaWAN
network, switches on sound and light indication corresponding to alarm mode and stops
smoke sensor measurements but still forms packets and transmits data according to the
schedule. You can switch off the alarm only through device button pressing and the device
will switch to the “Standby” mode.
“Test” mode is for checking device notification system without emission of smoke. The
behavior of the detector in "Test" mode is fully consistent with behavior in the "Fire" mode.
Transition to the "Test" mode is carried out by pressing button for 3 seconds. Transition back
to "Standby" mode is carried out by short-term pressing of the button.
While operating in any mode the device forms data packet with configurable data
collection period. Packet is formed at 00:00 if the collection period is 24 hours; at 00:00 and
at 12:00 if the period is 12 hours etc. All packets are stored in the device memory until the next
communication session. When beginning of communication session, the device starts
sending packets from the earliest packet.

Transmission period can be equal to 5, 15, 30 minutes, 1, 6, 12 and 24 hours.
The time of data transmitting cannot be specified, it is defined in random way for every
device in chosen period of transmission from the moment of connection to the network. For
example, transmission period is 30 minutes, and device was started at 16:40 by the internal
device clock. In random way the device calculate data transmitting time and set it at 16:41 in
the half-hour period from 16:40 to 17:10. Thus, packets from this device will transmit at 16:41,
at 17:11, at 17:41, at 18:11 and so on every 30 minutes by the internal device clock.
Time zone is specified for collection period setting which is equal to device time (UTC)
plus time zone. Data transmission is always by UTC regardless of specified time zone.
FUNCTIONAL
Vega Smart-SS0102 smoke sensor is class A device (LoRaWAN classification) and has
the following features:
odetermination of smoke particles concentration in the room (smoke detector)
osound (siren) and light (LED) indication of smoke emission
odetecting of the removing sensor from the mounting platform (removal sensor)
oADR support (Adaptive Data Rate)
osending of confirmed packets (configurable)
oextra communication in case of alarm event – smoke sensor, removal sensor
otemperature measurement
obattery charge measurement (%)
onotification in case of low battery charge (one of it or both)
MARKING
Device marked with sticker that contain the next information:
oDevice model;
oDevEUI;
oMonth and year of manufacture;
oQR-code containing DevEUI for automatized count.
Sticker located in three places – on device housing, in factory certificate and on the
packing box.
Besides, there is an additional sticker located on the packing box and contains:
oInformation about firmware version;
oQR-code containing DevEUI and keys for device registration in network via
OTAA method.
