Introduction

The BossPac WASP is a wireless acceleration, velocity and temperature sensing
device. It features a 3 axis accelerometer, with a frequency range of 2 to 400 hertz
and an amplitude of +/- 16 G.

With a mounting point temperature range of -40C to +185C the WASP can be mounted
directly to valve caps allowing the measurement of acceleration, velocity and
temperature.

With the ability to monitor up to 64 WASP’s, the BossPac NEST (Network Electronic
Sensor Terminal) can be used to monitor up to 64 locations on equipment from just
one controller.

Installing the Battery

Each sensor puck is shipped with a separate battery module. The battery module
contains a non-removable long lasting lithium battery.

DO NOT REPLACE OR REMOVE THE BATTERY UNLESS AREA IS

To turn on and activate each sensor puck you must carefully attach the battery board
to the sensor unit. Plug the pins on the battery board into the corresponding connectors
on the sensor puck. See photo on the next page.

Once the pins make contact a LED on the underside of the battery module will flash to
indicate power on. During this time, the WASP device performs a power-on self test
(POST). If all is well, the LED will flash quickly for a couple of seconds and then turn off.

Should the POST fail, the device goes into a non-operational state and flashes the LED
in discernable patterns to help diagnose the source of the problem. See Appendix A of
this manual for information on troubleshooting the LED flash codes.

NOTE: Do not remove the screws from bottom of the sensor puck.
Doing so will void the product’s warranty.
