3 What you have to supply
You have to supply all the material necessary to install the ReliaSENS unit in place.
For example, if you have to install the ReliaSENS on a pole, you will need two suitable stainless steel band
clamps.
The band clamps must conserve their integrity throughout the lifecycle of the ReliaSENS, even if exposed to
extreme weather conditions. Each band clamp must be able to withstand wind forces, the weight of the
ReliaSENS and the weight of the cables for a total amount of around 37 Kg. If an accidental breakage of one of
the band clamp occurs, the other band clamp must be able to safely hold the ReliaSENS in place.

4 ReliaSENS description
The ReliaSENS is a compact and easy to install environment monitoring system provided with Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or
Cellular (GPRS/3G) connectivity.
It analyses air quality parameters, electromagnetic fields, and ionizing radiation levels. Then, using the integrated
Eurotech Cloud technology, sends the acquired data to the Cloud.
The ReliaSENS offers you a user-friendly web interface and a mobile app (ReliaSENS, available on Google Play
Store and App Store) compatible with Android and iOS, that enables immediate data access through PCs, tablets
and smartphones.
You can set thresholds and configure the ReliaSENS to send alerts and generate data logs automatically.
You can easily export data and integrate them with existing IT systems to perform statistical analyses and to
identify spatial and time patterns related to pollutant generation and propagation.

6 Install the ReliaSENS
This operation must be carried out by authorized personnel, observing all applicable safety rules. When
applicable, the operator must have the appropriate license for working at the installation height.
The ReliaSENS must be installed at a height of 3 meters or more, for example on a pole, and would not normally
be accessible to people.
The ReliaSENS must be installed by using two suitable stainless steel band clamps (not provided). These band
clamps must conserve their integrity throughout the lifecycle of the ReliaSENS, even if exposed to extreme
weather conditions. Each band clamp must be able to withstand wind forces, the weight of the ReliaSENS and
the weight of the cables for a total amount of around 37 Kg. If an accidental breakage of one of the band clamp
occurs, the other band clamp must be able to safely hold the ReliaSENS in place.
Install the ReliaSENS in such a way that it is protected from lightning strikes. If required, a lightning rod should be
installed in close proximity to the ReliaSENS.
The minimum distance from the human body to which the device complies with the European requirements on
human exposure to electromagnetic fields (Council Recommendation 1999/519/EC) is 8.5 cm.

8 Establish a network connection
Your ReliaSENS is already configured to automatically connect to the Eurotech Cloud platform - Everyware
Cloud (EC).
On ReliaSENS three network interfaces are available by default:
1. 3G/GPRS interface (ppp0). This is the preferred option for connectivity since your unit comes with a
configured cellular module and a microSIM card already included. This interface is configured in WAN
mode using DHCP in order to automatically get an IP address, netmask and DNS from your provider
2. Wi-Fi interface (wlan0). This interface is configured in LAN mode in order to assign IP addresses of the
class 172.16.1.X in DHCP mode.
3. Ethernet (eth0). This interface is configured in LAN mode in order to assign IP addresses of the class
172.16.0.X in DHCP mode.
8.1 Using a wireless 3G/GPRS connection
On ReliaSENS the preferred option for connectivity is 3G/GPRS since your unit comes with a configured cellular
module and a microSIM card already included.
So, after the unit is powered on, it automatically connects to the internet and starts sending data that can be
viewed as described in Section 7.
You may want however to reconfigure you cellular interface.
Please, note that the PIN has to be disabled on the microSIM you use.
You can reconfigure the cellular interface from the Eurotech Gateway Admin through the eth0 wired interface.
Follow these steps:
1. Configure the Ethernet interface of your PC in DHCP
2. Connect the Ethernet cable of the ReliaSENS unit to your PC. Use the cable included in the cable kit for this
purpose.
3. After a few minutes your PC will receive an IP address from the ReliaSENS unit in the class 172.16.0.X
4. Browse the Eurotech Gateway Admin interface to: http://172.16.0.1/esf
5. Insert the username and password provided to you by your Eurotech sales representative
6. Select Network in the System menu

8.2 Using a Wi-Fi connection
Your ReliaSENS is natively configured as an Access Point that generates a Wi-Fi network with the following
features:
SSID: ReliaSENS_serialnumber
Password: Enter the Password provided to you by your Eurotech sales representative
Where serialnumber is the serial number for your ReliaSENS.
Using the Wi-Fi network you can directly connect to the ReliaSENS unit and have access to Eurotech Gateway
Admin interface, the local administration user interface of the unit.
Alternatively, you can access the Eurotech Gateway Admin interface from the wired Ethernet connection, as
described in the previous section.
From the Eurotech Gateway Admin you can reconfigure the ReliaSENS unit to operate in “station mode” for
connecting to a local Wi-Fi network.
Follow these steps:
1. Configure the Ethernet interface of your PC in DHCP
2. Connect the Ethernet cable of the ReliaSENS unit to your PC. Use the cable included in the cable kit for this
purpose.
3. After a few minutes your PC will receive an IP address from the ReliaSENS unit in the class 172.16.0.X
4. Browse the Eurotech Gateway Admin interface to: http://172.16.0.1/esf
5. Enter the Username and Password provided to you by your Eurotech sales representative
6. Select Network in the System menu
7. Select the ppp0 interface
8. Select the TCP/IP tab, and:
a) Disable the ppp0 interface by setting Status to “Disabled”
b) Press Apply
NOTE: You must only have 1 interface configured in WAN mode
9. Select the wlan0 interface
10. Select the TCP/IP tab, and:
a) Set Status to “Enabled for WAN”
b) Set Configure to “Manually” or ”Using DHCP” depending on your network features
c) Complete the configuration according to your network features
d) Press Apply
