What's in the Grillo Pulse Box
A Grillo Pulse ships as the sensor in its enclosure. Cables, antennas, and solar kits are accessories, so what else arrives depends on your order. Check the box against your packing list before you claim or install the sensor.
The sensor
Every Pulse box contains the sensor in its IP68 aluminium enclosure. The geophone and the accelerometer are both inside the enclosure.
The geophone ships unplugged. Before you power the sensor for the first time, open the lid and plug the geophone's JST lead into its JST connector on the circuit board. See Pulse Quick Start.
Everything else connects from outside the enclosure:
| Connector | Pulse Cellular | Pulse Ethernet |
|---|---|---|
| M12 4-pin, power (9–16 V DC in, 12 V nominal) | ✓ | ✓ |
| SMA, GPS antenna | ✓ | ✓ |
| SMA, cellular antenna | ✓ | |
| M12, Ethernet | ✓ |
The variant, Cellular or Ethernet, is on your order and on the enclosure label.
Accessories
Accessories are listed separately on your order. If an item is not on your packing list, it was not ordered.
| Accessory | For | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| M12-to-DC power cable | Both variants | Connects the M12 power connector to a 12 V DC supply or solar kit |
| GPS puck antenna | Both variants | Connects to the SMA GPS connector, for GPS timing |
| Cellular antenna | Pulse Cellular | Connects to the SMA cellular connector |
| M12-to-Ethernet cable | Pulse Ethernet | Connects the M12 Ethernet connector to your network |
| Solar kit for continuous recording | Both variants | Solar panel and battery for an off-grid sensor that records all the time |

If your order includes a Grillo SIM and data plan, Grillo fits and sets up the SIM before shipping. See Cellular and SIM.
Mounting hardware is not included unless it is on your packing list.
What to check
- The enclosure, connectors, and any accessories are undamaged.
- You know which variant it is: Pulse Cellular or Pulse Ethernet.
- The 12-character Device ID is on the label, for example
A0B1C2D3E4F5. The label's QR code holds the same ID. - Every accessory on your packing list is in the box.
Photograph the label and QR code before installation. Once the sensor is mounted, the label may be hard to reach.
Stop and contact support if
- You cannot tell which variant it is.
- A connector or cable does not match its label.
- The enclosure or a seal is damaged.
- The Device ID is missing or unreadable.
- Something on your packing list is missing.
