LED Indicator – This multicolored LED indicator will indicate various modes of operation. More details on the indicator colors can be found on page 14.

Function Button – This multi-use button can be used for various functions. See pages 10 and 11 for more details.

Antenna – This adjustable screw-on antenna is used to receive RF signals from the Sensors.

Cover Overlay Connector – This connector is used to connect the cover’s overlay 6-pin connector.

Battery Holder – The battery holder accommodates 3 x AA batteries. It is suggested that 1.5 volt like an Energizer Advanced Lithium or Ultimate Lithium are used for extended life.

The Hub can be installed using various methods including, but not limited to, dual-lock strips, magnets or rubber feet. Some of these mounting accessories may be included with the Hub accessory kit.

Step 1: In the accessory kit, locate the two sets of dual-lock strips. Keep these strips together and do not separate them at this time!

Step 2: Clean the rear surface of the Hub with 70% isopropyl alcohol for proper bonding of the strips.

Step 3: Peel one side only of each set of strips to expose the adhesive and affix to the rear of the unit.

Step 4: Make sure the area where the Hub will be attached has a clean surface for proper bonding of the strips. Do not separate the strips from the back of the unit at this time!

Step 5: Peel the remaining side of each of the strips to expose the adhesive and position it on the object and press down on the whole Hub. Do not remove the Hub at this time – give the dual-lock adhesive about 30-minutes to bond.

Step 1: In the accessory kit, locate the two self-stick mounting magnets.

Step 2: Clean the rear surface of the Hub with 70% isopropyl alcohol for proper bonding of the magnets.

Step 3: Peel off the paper to expose the adhesive and affix magnets to the rear of the unit.

Step 4: The Hub is ready to be mounted. Make sure the area where the Hub will be attached is ferrous iron or steel.

Step 1: In the accessory kit, locate the four self-stick rubber mounting feet.

Step 2: Clean the four circular recessed areas on the back of the Hub with 70% isopropyl alcohol for proper bonding of the feet.

Step 3: Peel back the paper on the rubber feet to expose the adhesive and affix them to the designated areas on the back of the unit.

Step 4: The Hub is ready to be mounted. Place the Hub on a flat surface, such as a table or shelf.

Make sure when placing the Hub on an object that it is securely attached and cannot fall off and injure someone
or fall onto a hard surface and damage the unit.

Make sure that when placing the Hub that it will not interfere with other equipment.

Before moving forward with the unit operation, you must download the Skyhawk CE app onto your smart device and sign up for an account.

Step 1: Download and install the Skyhawk CE app from the Apple or Google Play Store onto your compatible smart device. Go to sky-hawk.com for more detailed information on which devices are supported.

Step 2: Power ON the Hub by pressing and releasing the function button; release when GREEN LED starts blinking. Unit will continue to power ON by blinking the GREEN LED for about 30 to 60 seconds.

Step 3: After the unit finishes the power ON process, the GREEN LED will rapid flash Green for 5 seconds and the unit will automatically send a power ON alert to the Skyhawk CE app via the cellular network. If the connection is unsuccessful, then the Skyhawk CE will not acknowledge any communication and the LED will rapid flash RED for 5 seconds. Any communication failure will place the unit into a timed retry mode, and after several retries it then will give up.

Step 4: The Hub now automatically goes into listening mode. The Hub blinks GREEN once every 10 seconds during listening mode. When it receives an RF signal from any sensor, it will blink BLUE twice and then initiate a call where it blinks BLUE until the transmission is over and relays this information to the Skyhawk app via the cellular network.

When the Hub is not going to be used for more than a few weeks it should be powered down to conserve battery life.

Step 1: Power OFF the Hub by pressing and releasing the function button.

Step 2: During the power down process (while the LED is blinking RED) the unit will send an alert to make sure that the registered owner of the device is notified the Hub is going off-line. During the transmission of a power down, the unit will blink BLUE.

The Hub has the ability to be reset back to default settings.

Step 1: Press and HOLD the function button for more than 5 seconds.

Step 2: The LED will go solid RED, prompting the release of the button to initiate the reset.

The Hub comes with three AA 1.5 volt lithium batteries already installed but in time these will need to be replaced. When they are replaced it is suggested to use a high quality name brand AA lithium battery like an Energizer Advanced Lithium or Ultimate Lithium battery. Follow the instructions below to replace these batteries.

Step 1: Remove the cover screws of the Hub using a Phillips screwdriver. Make sure to turn the screws counterclockwise.

Step 2: Open the cover by tilting the cover’s front up toward the rear to prevent damage to the overlay connection. If connection becomes loose it can be reseated. There will be a gasket holding the unit together so it might take a bit of force to separate the cover from the enclosure.

Step 3: Remove and dispose of the old batteries properly.

Step 4: Insert new batteries, taking note of the direction symbols.

Step 5: Replace cover, making sure overlay connector is seated to the on-board connector. Replace cover screws. Turn screws clockwise until top is seated.

The Hub is equipped with a multi-color LED indicator for feedback status to the user.

Below is a chart of the status indicators:

While unit is ON and not being triggered a status LED will flash every 10 seconds:

• IN PLACE OF A LIFE SAFETY DEVICE.
• FOR MEDICAL MONITORING.
• IN A MANNER THAT VIOLATES ANY FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL, ADMINISTRATIVE OR OTHER LAW, REGULATION, OR ORDINANCE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO GOVERNANCE OF CRIMINAL OR ILLEGAL ACTIVITY, DATA PRIVACY AND SECURITY, HEALTH AND SAFETY, ANIMAL WELFARE AND/OR WILDLIFE TRAPPING.

DO NOT ATTACH HUB DIRECTLY TO A LIFE SAFETY OR MEDICAL MONITORING DEVICE.

DO NOT PLACE OR POSITION HUB WHERE IT COULD INTERFERE WITH SAFE OPERATION AND FUNCTIONALITY OF LIFE SAFETY, MEDICAL MONITORING OR OTHER EQUIPMENT.

The Hub uses hermetically sealed lithium iron disulfide batteries. Under normal conditions of use, lithium iron disulfide batteries are non-toxic and are not hazardous waste per the United States Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) – 40 CFR Part 261 Subpart C. Dispose of in accordance with all applicable federal, state and local regulations.

WARNING: BATTERIES CAN EXPLODE OR LEAK AND CAUSE BURNS IF INSTALLED BACKWARDS, DISASSEMBLED, CHARGED, OR EXPOSED TO WATER, FIRE OR HIGH TEMPERATURE. EXPOSURE TO THE INGREDIENTS CONTAINED WITHIN OR THEIR COMBUSTION PRODUCTS COULD BE HARMFUL.

The Hub uses a 3rd-party Wireless Service which uses radio technologies and is subject to transmission and service area limitations, which may include interruptions and dropped connections caused by atmospheric, topographical or environmental conditions, cell site availability, cellular network equipment or its installation, governmental regulations, system limitations, maintenance or other conditions or activities affecting the operation of the Wireless Service. The Wireless Service and/or features may not be available in all areas. For more information, visit sky-hawk.com.
