1 PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Base Station v4 Product Guide
1.1 Introduction 4B
The Base Station is the central relay device between the SMARTdiagnostics IoT sensor networks and the internet. The Base Station has DARTwirelessTM communication capabilities to interface with SMARTdiagnostics sensors while also having a combination of Ethernet, WIFI and/or Cellular connectivity to the SMARTdiagnostics cloud application.
1.2 How It Works 5B
The Base Station communicates with up to 100 wireless sensors at a time. It has two primary functions. First, it periodically pulls settings from the SMARTdiagnostics cloud application and ensures that the sensors connected to it are operating properly and Second, it receives measurement data from those sensors, buffers the data locally and forwards the data to the cloud.
Additionally, the Base Station implements a 2.4GHz
wireless mesh communication network between itself
and its peers. This mesh provides the ability to
Mesh
communicate locally between Base Stations. This
mesh creates multiple paths to the cloud such that not
all Base Stations are required to be connected directly to the internet, but instead
can forward their outbound traffic to a peer. The mesh also allows for running edge
analytics algorithms.

3 INSTALLATION AND SETUP 2B
3.1 Installation Procedures 14B
To install the Base Station, simply connect the provided power cable to the Base Station and plug into an appropriate power source.
When the Base Station uses cellular or DHCP Ethernet connectivity to the cloud, it will connect automatically to the cloud and begin operating normally.
When connected to an Ethernet network requiring a static IP address or when connecting to WIFI additional configuration will be required. In these situations, work with the KCF Technical Product Center (TPC) to ensure proper configuration of the applicable network settings.
This product shall be securely mounted via: a) a Universal Mount (KCF Part Number SD-MNT) b) standing with antennas pointed up and retained with a safety strap through the handle and a fixed location to prevent drops (wire cable, safety wire, etc.)
This product must be serviced and installed by instructed persons only.
This product is intended for use in a restricted access area only.

KCF Technologies, Inc. ("Seller") warrants that (i) all products (except spare parts, replacement parts and spare kits) shall be free from material defects in workmanship for a period of one (1) year from the date shipped from Seller's distribution center; and (ii) all spare parts, replacement parts, and spare kits shall be free from material defects in workmanship for a period of ninety (90) days from the date of invoice issued by Seller or its authorized distributor. Seller warrants that it will implement commercially reasonable measures consistent with generally accepted practices to safeguard the software and Buyer's data contained in it against accidental or unlawful loss, access, or disclosure; provided, however, that Buyer is responsible for properly configuring and using products and taking Buyer's own steps to maintain appropriate security, privacy, and backup of your data.
The foregoing limited warranties are void with respect to (i) any product which, in Seller's sole judgment, has been subjected to abuse, accident, alteration, modification, tampering, negligence, misuse, faulty installation, lack of reasonable care, repair, or service by anyone other than Seller that is in any way not contemplated in the documentation for such product; (ii) any product, of which the model or serial number has been altered, tampered with, defaced, or removed; (iii) operational adjustments not covered in the operating manual for such product; (iv) maintenance, calibration, or recalibration of any product by anyone other than Seller; (v) damage occurring in shipment or due to acts of nature, failures due to power surges, or other force majeure causes beyond Seller's control; (vi) cosmetic damage; (vii) any product or service provided or furnished by anyone other than Seller; (viii) any product that has been installed or used outside Seller's technical specifications as provided on the product datasheets and care and handling application notes; (ix) refurbished products and services; (x) the failure to install any required software or firmware update; and (xi) products that have been purchased through an inventory clearance or liquidation sale or other sale specifying that such product is being sold "as is."
The foregoing limited warranties are the only warranties made by Seller under this Agreement. Except as otherwise set forth explicitly herein, Seller does not make, and hereby disclaims, any representations or warranties, express, implied, or statutory, regarding (i) products and services (including hardware, software, and related services) and (ii) the acts or omissions of users of the products and services, including (without limitation) implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement of third party rights, and any warranties arising by course of dealing or custom of trade.

Base Station v4 Product Guide
Seller also makes no representations or warranties that the products and services will meet Buyer's requirements, or that Buyer's access to and use of the products and services will be uninterrupted or error-free, free of viruses, malicious code, or other harmful components, or otherwise will be secure.
By accepting delivery of any product, Buyer acknowledges and agrees that (i) the value and use of such product is unrelated to the value or cost of any real or personal property in connection with which such product may be used or any services related to such product which are furnished by any person; (ii) Seller makes no warranty that such product will avert, detect, or prevent occurrences or the consequences thereof which such products may have been designed to detect, avert, or prevent, or that such product may not be compromised, disabled, or circumvented; (iii) Seller has made no representations or warranties, express or implied, to Buyer or for Buyer's benefit that contradict any of the foregoing; and (iv) "false alarms" and "false readings" from Seller's products may occur for any number of reasons, and Seller does not warrant against such false results.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties. Accordingly, some of the above exclusions may not apply to Buyer.
Seller's sole obligation with respect to any product which is found to contain any material defect in workmanship within the applicable warranty period shall be, at Seller's sole discretion, either to repair or replace such product at no charge to the Buyer, or to refund the purchase price upon return of the defective product to Seller. The replacement product need not be new (i.e., it may be used or reconditioned) nor be of identical make, model or part, so long as Seller has reasonably determined that it is substantially equivalent or superior in all material respects to the product being replaced.

3. Buyer shall fully insure any product for return to Seller, and Seller shall in no event be responsible for any shipment lost in transit.
4. Repaired or replaced products will be shipped to Buyer via UPS Ground or any common carrier selected by Seller, with shipping charges prepaid by Seller. Expedited shipping is available if shipping charges are prepaid by Buyer and only upon request.
5. Seller may reject or return any product that is not packaged and shipped in strict compliance with the foregoing requirements or for which an RMA number has not been obtained or is not visible from the outside of the package. The product owner agrees to pay Seller's reasonable handling and return shipping charges for any product that is not packaged and shipped in accordance with the foregoing requirements or that is determined by Seller not to be defective or nonconforming.
SELLER'S LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS, WHETHER BASED ON BREACH OF CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, PRODUCT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE, SHALL NOT EXCEED THE PRICE PAID BY BUYER FOR SUCH DEFECTIVE PRODUCT. IN NO EVENT WILL SELLER BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOSS OF USE, LOSS OF PROFIT, AND CLAIMS OF THIRD PARTIES), HOWEVER CAUSED, WHETHER BY THE NEGLIGENCE OF SELLER OR OTHERWISE.
