Monitor One setup

This page walks you through unboxing and powering up a Monitor One. By the end, the Monitor One will be powered up and ready to add to your Particle account.

Note:

Unboxing

The Monitor One box contains:

• The Monitor One base model, in an IP67-rated, waterproof enclosure with a flexible mounting plate for walls, rails, poles, and more
• Two expansion cards for customizing I/O:
  • The I/O card, an all-in-one expansion card with CAN, Modbus, RS-485, 4-20mA and 0-10V inputs, 24V I/O, and a dry contact relay output
  • The prototype card, a perf board for hardware integration and validation
• 4-pin M12 cable
• 8-pin M12 cable
• USB cable
• 24V power supply

What you'll need

• The Monitor One Developer Edition kit
• The power supply (24 VDC, 1 A), which is in the box
• The two M12 cables: the 8-pin cable for power, and the 4-pin cable for I/O and expansion
• Optionally, a micro-USB cable and hex wrenches, for opening the case or installing extras

Powering on the device

Using the M12 cable

1. Take the M12 8-pin cable. There are two cables in the box, and this is the one used for power.
2. Connect the 5.5 x 2.1 mm barrel jack from the power supply to the barrel socket on the adapter.
3. Plug the M12 8-pin connector into the Monitor One, with the label up and toward the cellular SMA connector.
4. If you disconnect and reconnect the wires, check the polarity. The + terminal should be red and the - terminal black.

If you want to use your own power supply, any 6 - 30 VDC, 2 A adapter with a 5.5 x 2.1 mm center-positive barrel plug will work.
