You can skip scanning by now and select any available channel, but this can lead to worse communication between sensors and Aranet PRO/PRO Plus base.
!NOTE! Keep in mind: you will have to repeat the pairing process for all sensors if you decide to change the radio channel. You can leave the System menu now and switch to the Sensors menu for sensor pairing.
Page 23

2.2 Pair sensors to Aranet PRO /PRO Plus
Aranet PRO/PRO Plus supports several types of sensors. To connect them to the system the same steps apply for all types of sensors. Sensors can be paired by-one or in batches. When pairing the sensor, it should be physically located within around 20 meters of Aranet PRO/PRO Plus.
(1) Open the battery compartment of the sensor, see the example image below. While holding with one arm the plastic cup, turn clockwise the main plastic body of the sensor (do not remove or twist the cable).
Most other sensors have a visible battery compartment or screws on the body. Loosen the screws to take out the lid and expose the battery compartment. Take out battery(ies) from the sensor(s) you want to pair. If there are two batteries in the battery compartment, it is enough to take out one.
!NOTE! When pairing Aranet4 PRO sensor, make sure that "Radio" switch is in ON (upper) position:
(2) Log in to Aranet PRO/PRO Plus web-interface using an account with Administrator rights (3) Navigate to Aranet PRO/PRO Plus Main menu (4) Choose "Sensors" menu

Page 24

2-minute timer indicated by closing ring is started:
(7) Insert sensor's battery(ies) by observing the correct polarity. Refer to datasheet of respective sensor for information on supported battery types.
(8) Red LED light will flash on the sensor. Three short flashes followed by a long flash will signal a connection failure, the pause between flashes will be the same. In case of successful pairing the long flash will follow immediately after a short flash. Observing the LED light indications can save time while pairing sensors, however, Aranet PRO/PRO Plus software will also display successfully paired sensor in the sensors list: new sensors are indicated by green triangle. Sensor pairing process usually lasts 10-15 seconds but can be prolonged up to 30 seconds.
Each time new sensor is successfully paired, 2-minutes timer is restarted. If sensor pairing was not successful within 30-seconds period, take out battery from the sensor, wait 10 seconds and place battery back to repeat pairing process. When you finish pairing all sensors, press "STOP PAIRING" button or wait for the timer to close pairing process automatically. (9) After successful pairing, close the battery compartment of sensor(s).

3.6.9.3 SMS screen The SMS screen is where you can set up SMS alarm functionality. Aranet PRO Plus TDSBOB03, TDSBOBU3, TDSBOBC3: SMS functionality can be enabled if a SIM-card with a valid Mobile Internet contract is inserted in the Aranet PRO Plus LTE modem. Refer to Chapter LTE menu of this document for configuration. Aranet PRO: SMS functionality is enabled if you have a USB GSM modem with an active SIM card connected to Aranet PRO. Please find actual information about the supported (tested) GSM modems here: https://forum.aranet.com/aranet-solutions/what-cellular-usb-modems-are-compatible-with-aranet-pro-basestation/ Please note that other modems, not listed here, might be used as well. To determine if your modem functions properly, the user can perform a simple test using "TEST SENDING" button described in the previous chapter. In some cases, a modem requires a PIN to be entered even if PIN security is disabled on the SIM card. When inserting modem for the first time, allow up to 3 minutes for the modem to stabilize. Status "OK" indicates that the modem is ready. During initializing the status might change several times. The following messages will indicate the status of the modem: GSM modem not connected ­ GSM modem is not connected or is not recognized. Re-insert the modem and allow it to stabilize. Modem did not accept this PIN ­ indicates that the entered PIN code is incorrect. Enter the correct PIN code. Fault description ­ indicated additional information about the fault the modem is experiencing. Ok ­ modem is ready. Using the RETRY button can help the modem to initialize again in case of a fault.
Page 56

!NOTE! The SIM card cannot be activated through an Aranet PRO/PRO Plus software, the card can only be unlocked with the PIN code, so it must be pre-activated. Aranet PRO: Keep in mind the maximal current of 500mA the base can supply over a USB-connection. In case of current draw exceeding 500mA (i.e., due to low cellular reception levels) the base station may be unable to supply sufficient current to the modem thus causing unstable behavior. This can be remedied using an external power supply and a "Y-type" USB cable with DATA+POWER and POWER jacks to supplement the power. Make sure to connect the cable correctly!
Page 57

3.6.9.4 E-mail screen The e-mail screen is where you set up the e-mail from which the notifications will be sent. There is support for Gmail, Outlook, and Yahoo accounts, however, a Custom SMTP provider can also be set up. For e-mail notifications to work, the Aranet PRO should have connectivity to a mail server (internet or other data network). Please refer to Chapter Network menu for details. Successful connectivity is indicated by the globe symbol that is not crossed over. Indication examples:

-

- indicates proper connectivity to the Internet via Ethernet cable

-

- indicates no connectivity to Wi-Fi and no connectivity to internet via Wi-Fi

Some email service providers like Gmail require enabled "2-step verification". Using Customer's SMTP as E-mail service provider, consult with the provider for the appropriate SMTP settings. It is advised to check whether notification e-mails do not end up in the spam folder.
Other typical messages about connectivity:
E-mail server reached successfully! ­ connectivity with SMTP server is ok. Connect error ­ no connectivity with SMTP server. Check the internet connection or consult the email service provider for further assistance.
AUTH error ­ incorrect username or password. For some e-mail service providers, you might need to enable "allow apps that use less secure sign in". Once all the required information is filled out, saved and the connection is tested successfully you can start receiving E-Mail alarms and summaries.

Page 58

3.6.10 Radio menu
The Radio menu allows to perform a channel radio availability scan for each of the available channels. If the area has a dense coverage of sensors from other base stations this can become important.
!NOTE! If sensors are already paired to the Aranet PRO/PRO Plus they will also show up as interference in the radio scan of the channel currently in use. A channel scan can be activated for a selected channel or all channels at the same time. A scan takes 60 minutes per channel during which it is not possible to pair new sensors to the base station or change the time of the device. Channel switching is disabled during the scan. Some data may be lost during the scanning period. You can abort the scan process by selecting STOP SCAN. The statistics of the scanned channel in this case will be lost. After the scan, we recommend choosing the channel with the highest availability to ensure that you receive a reliable data stream from the sensors and avoid data loss. !NOTE! When changing the channel, already paired sensors require re-pairing.

3.7 Aranet Cloud
Aranet Cloud menu is where you set up the connection to Aranet Cloud. Aranet Cloud is a Plug & Play Cloud solution for the Aranet IoT ecosystem. Aranet Cloud is an enterprise-grade solution for centralized access and management of Aranet data, automated data monitoring, and possibility to set up customized notifications for sensor measurements. Aranet Cloud usage does not require integrator involvement or third-party solutions to enable centralized and remote data access for any number of sensors and bases. All sensors are available in one place ­ no need to switch between base stations or build solutions on how to access remote locations. Every organization can set up a trial Aranet Cloud account with access for a period of 30 days. Before setting up an Aranet PRO/PRO Plus base station on the Aranet Cloud platform a couple of things should be verified and provided: · The user has any type of device with a working Internet connection and a WEB browser installed on it. · The user has access to an e-mail account that can be used for new account registration in the Aranet Cloud
platform. · The Aranet PRO/PRO Plus base station is properly connected to the Internet and has at least firmware version
2.4.6. Aranet Cloud receives data from base stations using HTTPS protocol on TCP port 443. 1) Open aranet.cloud in a new browser tab or window and log in with your credentials; If you do not have a user
account, please register a new user account. 2) Go to Settings and click NEW BASE button to register a new Aranet Pro base;

3.8.2 Modbus
The Aranet PRO/PRO Plus Modbus TCP/IP feature currently supports "Input register" object types. All other types can be defined in the configuration file, but they will be ignored. It also refers to function codes. Only function code 4 is supported (read "Input register"). Aranet PRO/PRO Plus appears in the Modbus networks as a server (slave) having its own server(slave) ID. By default, Aranet PRO/PRO Plus server (slave) ID is "1". Notes for the client side:
· Register size: 16 bits; · Endianness - big-endian with high word first:
o high byte first; o high word first (for 2 register/32-bit values). · Supports only: o Modbus function: read input registers (code: 4) o Modbus data type: input registers (any address can be used in the supported range: 0-65535) · Used Modbus TCP exceptions o In case, if an unsupported function is requested, a reply message with "ILLEGAL_FUNCTION" code
will be received. o In case, if unavailable registry address is requested, a reply message with
"ILLEGAL_DATA_ADDRESS" code will be received. This exception is also sent in case if the address is conflicting with any other registry address. o In case, if uninitialized registry address is being requested, a reply message with "ILLEGAL_DATA_VALUE" code will be received. The address of the registry exists, but valid data of measurement has not been assigned yet. Modbus menu is where you set up the connection to the Aranet PRO/PRO Plus.
1) Enable ­ allows enabling/disabling of Modbus TCP/IP on an Aranet PRO/PRO Plus base station; 2) Port ­ allows selecting the TCP port used for the connection to the Modbus client (master). The most
common port is 502. 3) Default register layout ­ autogenerated Aranet PRO/PRO Plus Modbus addresses layout file in json format
can be downloaded here. (See layout file example below). 4) Use custom layout file ­ when enabled, custom Modbus addresses json file can be uploaded to the Aranet
PRO/PRO Plus base here as well as downloaded back from the base station. 5) Save or Cancel changes.

Autogenerated Aranet PRO/PRO Plus Modbus addresses layout file example. Most important explanations about addresses are given in downloaded json file as //comments:

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

// Aranet PRO Modbus mapping configuration description.

// The configuration supports the inputRegisters protocol object type.

// Each type has its own address offset value (e.g., 30000).

// Each offset value is expected to be in a range: 0-65535// Sensors can be mapped

// for each object type.

// Each sensor has:

//

- offset value (e.g., 0);

//

- set of measurements (e.g., temperature, humidity, battCharge, rssi).

// Each measurement has:

//

- offset value (which must be unique in between particular sensor's

// measurement offset values, e.g., temperature - 1, humidity - 3, rssi - 5,

// battCharge - 6, etc.);

//

Registry address of specific measurement is the sum of offsets, .e.g,

// protocol object type inputRegisters (30000) + sensor X offset (0) + measurement

// Y offset (1) which makes Input register's address value 30001 for the sensor's X

// measurement Y.

//

- sum of offsets (e.g., registry address) must be in a range: 0-65535

//

- data type (int16, int32, uint16, uint32, float32).

//

This datatype determines how particular measurement must be interpreted

// (as integer or float value).

//

Data type also determines the registry size needed to encode the value

// into bytes. Size of two bytes is used for a single Modbus registry.

//

The selected data type also affects an offset value for the next

// measurement address, e.g., if temperature's (1) data type is float then next

// measurment offset value must be 3 as temperature measurement offset is 1 and

// it's data type length is 2.

// Address overlapping will be reported as a configuration error.

* - Daylight Saving Status must be updated from the BACnet Client system as it is not being auto-updated and cannot be set using Aranet PRO base web GUI (it uses UTC time throughout the back-end processes). ** - UTC Offset must be updated from the BACnet Client system as it is not being auto-updated and cannot be set using Aranet PRO base web GUI. BACnet UTC Offset is the inverse of common practice. If your UTC offset is -5 hours GMT, then BACnet UTC offset is +5 hours. BACnet UTC offset is expressed in minutes, therefore convert UTC offset from minutes to hours.

4.1.3 4-20 mA and Voltage Sensors
The 4-20mA Sensor can be used for current measurements (within a range of 0 - 30 mA) and the Voltage Sensor for voltage measurements (within a range of -32 to +32 VDC). Under the "Sensors" menu, it is possible to enable conversion from mA/V to other values depending on the transducer type connected to mA/V Sensor. If required, switch the Conversion on, and use the drop-down menu to choose a predefined Dimension and Unit. If the required Dimension or Unit is not in the list, choose "Other" as the Dimension and input your own measurement unit. Define the reference values for two measurement points (i.e., sensor's min/max voltage). For example, set 0 V equal to 100 of your units and 32V equal to 1000 of your units. The values will then be linearly calculated according to these two reference points.

4.1.4 Stem Micro-Variation sensor
To show the correct stem diameter value with the Stem Micro-Variation sensor it is necessary to configure it upon installation. The process can be done in the following steps:
1. First existing stem diameter should be measured with a ruler or caliper (in our example 8mm):
2. Then the sensor detecting element should be mounted on the stem:
Page 86

3. The sensor electric current reading on Aranet PRO base station graphical user interface should be checked and recorded (in our example 5.12mA)
4. Next, it is necessary to determine how much from the sensor measurement range (4­20 mA) is already used by the current measurement. Here, from the recorded current value, the minimal reading value = 4mA, should be subtracted (in our example 5.12 mA ­ 4 mA = 1.12 mA)
5. The subtraction value obtained in the previous point should be divided by 0.01mA, which is the resolution step of electric current measurements (in our example 1.12mA/0.01mA = 112). This is the measurement range in step units, that are already used by the sensor.
6. Next, the used electric current measurement step unit value should be multiplied by 0.003125mm, which is the value of one measurement step unit in millimeters (in our example 112*0.003125mm=0.35mm). The obtained value should be rounded to 2 digits after the comma, and it is the measurement range used by the sensor in millimeters (in our example 0.35mm);
7. Next, the used measurement range in millimeters should be subtracted from the stem diameter measured in step 1 (in our example 8mm-0.35mm=7.65mm), and here we obtain the stem diameter value that corresponds to 4mA electric current reading of the sensor
8. Then the measurement value in millimeters should be determined to correspond to max electric current measurement value of 20mA. Sensor measurement range in millimeters is 5mm, so this value should be added to the value obtained in step 7, to get the value corresponding to the 20mA electric current reading of the sensor (in our example 7.65mm+5mm=12.65mm)
9. Finally, previously obtained millimeter values for 4mA and 20mA should be entered in Stem Micro-variation sensor Conversion configuration in Aranet PRO base station graphical user interface section Sensors  SENSORS, after that, the user will be able to see sensor measurements in mm of the stem diameter:

4.1.5 Ultrasonic Distance sensor
Aranet Ultrasonic Distance sensor uses ultrasound to measure the distance to an object. A high-frequency sound wave is emitted by the device, measuring the time it takes for the wave to reach the object and then return to the sensor. Aranet Ultrasonic Distance sensor works with a wide range of liquid and non-liquid materials. Various practical applications of the sensor include measuring the grain level in a silo, or the level of a liquid in a container, as well as other uses. When pairing the Ultrasonic Distance sensor, it is possible to set measurement thresholds and a reference point, if needed.
Page 89

Enable the conversion switch and select Units from the drop-down list. Then enter the Zero reference point manually or press the "USE CURRENT MEASUREMENT" button to use the current measurement as Zero point.
4.1.6 CO2 and Temperature sensor
The sensor comes factory-calibrated, but when recalibration is needed, it can be done with the following steps: 1) Screw out the top part of the sensor; 2) A small dipswitch on the PCB board should be set in the MAN position; 3) Press and hold the CALIBR. button till a red LED starts to blink; 4) Now the sensor should be left in the fresh air outdoor environment during the calibration process for 30 minutes without any person nearby. 5) When the calibration process is finished, screw on the sensor's top part back.
4.1.7 Pulse Counter sensor
The sensor counts the number of mechanical contact closes. The applications include electricity meters, water flow monitoring, etc. Both the count-per-measurement interval and the cumulative count are registered. The SensorHub software can convert and represent these measurements in the preferred metric (Volume, Current, Torque, etc.) and preferred units (liters, joules, watt-hours, etc.).
