Quick guide from the manual

This document provides essential instructions for the installation, operation, and maintenance of the Watteco Press’O 0-5V Atex Zone 1 sensor. Due to its certification for use in explosive atmospheres, all procedures must be performed by qualified personnel in accordance with EN 60079-14 standards.

Safety and usage recommendations

  • Installation, maintenance, and use must be performed exclusively by personnel competent in electrical equipment for explosive atmospheres.
  • Any repair or modification is strictly prohibited without written authorization from Watteco.
  • To prevent electrostatic discharge, clean the product only with a damp cloth.
  • Use only SAFT LS17500 batteries.
  • Do not change the battery in an explosive atmosphere.

Start

To provision the device on your LoRaWAN network, use the keys provided on the secure platform. The device is controlled via an internal magnetic switch (ILS).

  • ON: Hold the magnet for >1 second. The red LED will light up, followed by the green LED indicating network searching, and finally association.
  • OFF: Hold the magnet for >5 seconds. The red LED will indicate the switching off process.

Installation

The device housing can be wall-mounted. To open or close the housing, unscrew the 4 screws by a 1/4 turn. Ensure the sensor is placed in a location with minimal obstacles to avoid excessive radio attenuation. You may verify radio coverage using a tool such as the Netw’O.

Opening the device housing by unscrewing the four corner screws by a quarter turn.

Practical help

Common problems

Radio signal attenuation

Ensure the number of obstacles between the sensor and the gateway is limited to maintain proper radio propagation.

Electrostatic discharge risk

Clean the product only with a damp cloth to prevent potential electrostatic charging hazards.

Before use

  • Verify that the personnel performing installation are competent in explosive atmosphere equipment.
  • Ensure you have the correct LoRaWAN network keys from the secure platform.
  • Confirm you are using only SAFT LS17500 batteries.
  • Check the IP rating (IP55 or IP68) based on your specific model reference (50-70-151 or 50-70-114).

Images and diagrams

  • The device uses a magnetic switch (ILS) for ON/OFF operations.
