EMT Device.
Your EWS EMT Device
Your EWS EMT (Environmental Monitoring Telemetry) Device is an ultra powerful, yet low power draw and compact multi-communication enabled IoT Device designed specifically for remote environmental monitoring applications. The EWS EMT Device is a self-contained datalogger and cellular or Iridium Satellite transmitter which includes a uniquely designed optional clip-on solar panel (3W and 6W options) to monitor a wide range of remote environmental and geotechnical applications.
Your Device will be either Iridium Satellite or 4G LTE transmission type.
Iridium transmission type can be visually identified by the presence of a sticker indicating Iridium with the Device IMEI number on the side of the EMT opposite the push button. EMT Devices that are 4G LTE transmission type have a sticker indicating Cellular with the Device IMEI number on the side.
EWS EMT Devices are fitted with high powered rechargeable internal batteries and come with a specially designed clip on 3W or 6W solar panel allowing for ongoing recharge and long term deployments.
Wiring and Sensor inputs.
The EWS EMT Device has four sensor input plugs labelled S1 – S4 and one power input plug .
S1 and S2 inputs differ in sensor protocol options than S3 and S4 inputs. The wiring also differs and are differentiated as indicated below in the pinout tables.
The four sensor plugs S1 to S4 at the device end are standard female 5-Pin M12 plugs. The power input plug is a standard male end 3-Pin M8 plug.

Getting started.
Your EWS EMT Device comes delivered in Transportation Mode to conserve battery life until installation.
To wake up your Device, simply press button once.
To activate Bluetooth, press twice your Device LED’s should be blinking Blue and Green indicating it is ready to be paired with EWS Lynx mobile configuration App.
If you wish to place the Device back into Transportation Mode, simply press and hold button for 10 seconds, once button is released, LED’s will blink fast red then stop, indicating Device has successfully re-entered Transportation Mode. The Device will cease all functions until taken out of this mode – this is used for transport or when Devices are in storage and not being used.
EWS Lynx Mobile App.
The EWS Lynx App is the freely available on both IOS and Android App stores.
The App is an easy on-site tool for configuring your Device and checking for successful sensor connection.
Ensure mobile phone Bluetooth is on and Device Bluetooth is active, open the App and your Device will connect automatically.
The EWS Lynx Mobile App is available to download from:
Basic Configuration and Sensor Check.
It is important to note that EWS Devices generally come pre-configured out of the box for plug and play pairing with sensors as requested on purchase – so minimal programming should be required. Check with EWS or EWS distribution partner first before altering programming.
When connected to the EWS Lynx App the icon should show solid blue. You are now ready to configure Device and check sensors.
Device tab is where you can find all general Device information such as hardware version, firmware version, IMEI number, Devices internal battery voltage as well as custom station ID field and site notes. This is also where device reboot and enter shipping mode buttons are found.
Sensor Check and Measurement Interval.
To check sensors are connected and reading correctly:
- Navigate to Sensors tab.
- Press Read All Channels button. Device will cycle through all configured channels.
- Check readings are as expected.
To change channel configuration or measurement interval – navigate into each channel and change as required.
Troubleshooting.
If readings show Error – Troubleshoot first by checking sensor wiring, referring to the pinout information at the beginning of this guide. If incorrect wiring is ruled out as the cause of error readings, further configuration and programming checks will need to be carried out to ensure device has been setup correctly for the sensor being used.
Powering your EWS EMT Device.
If you have received your EWS EMT Device with no batteries included, you can source the Device specific batteries at your local battery specialist store.
Simply remove the Device lid and insert batteries ensuring they are installed in correct orientation.
