Exo Sense RP User Guide
Improper handling of lithium batteries can result in an explosion of the batteries and/or
release of harmful substances.
Worn-out or defective batteries can compromise the function of this product.
KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. Swallowing may lead to serious injury or death in
as little as 2 hours due to chemical burns and potential perforation of the esophagus.
Immediately see doctor.
Replace the RTC lithium battery before it is completely discharged. Replace the battery
every 5 years even if the battery is still working properly. The lithium battery must be
replaced only with an identical CR1025 Lithium / Manganese Dioxide (Li/MnO2) battery.
Do not throw lithium batteries into fire, do not solder on the cell body, do not recharge, do
not open, do not short-circuit, do not reverse polarity, do not heat above 100°C and protect
from direct sunlight, moisture and condensation.
Dispose of used batteries according to local regulations and the battery manufacturer's
instructions.
Device identification
The device can be identified with the information provided in the rating and identification
plate, permanently attached to the internal side of the front cover case.

Exo Sense RP User Guide
Introduction
Exo Sense RP is an extremely versatile indoor environment sensor. It combines the power
and ease of use of the Raspberry Pi RP2040 microcontroller, with several environmental
sensors and input/output lines.
Exo Sense RP embeds temperature, humidity, air quality, light and PIR-based motion
detection sensors, as well as a microphone for ambient noise measurements and audio
recording. Two digital input/output lines and an open-collector output line are available on
the terminal block. A real time clock module with battery back-up is also standard. It can
optionally have a factory-installed earthquake sensor module.
An ESD-protected RS-485 bus is available for wired serial communication using the
industry standard Modbus protocol or any other half-duplex serial protocol.
Exo Sense RP has an embedded RP2040, with a dual-core Arm Cortex M0+ processor,
clocked up to 133 MHz, 264KB of SRAM, and a large 16MB on-board Flash memory.
A hidden USB 1.1 port is used to easily flash the microcontroller.

Hardware setup
For the initial setup, the plastic wall mount case must be removed to access the circuit
board and internal connectors.
The case also needs to be opened to access the microUSB connector, and if the factory
configuration of the internal jumpers for the RS-485 termination resistors or digital input
configuration must be changed.
Before opening the Exo Sense RP case, disconnect all power sources and any connection
to external devices.
Opening the case
Follow these steps, in the exact order, to open the case:
1. Use a small flat screwdriver to gently separate the front plastic cover from the wall
mount back
2. The circuit board should remain attached to the front plastic cover; pay attention not to
drop the circuit board, as it could be not firmly attached
3. With a small flat screwdriver gently separate the circuit board from the front cover. In
some cases the circuit board could separate from the front case and remain connected
to the terminal block.
SEPARATE THE FRONT PLASTIC COVER FROM THE WALL MOUNT BACK
