Unpacking
and Initial
Inspection
The instrument is thoroughly inspected and tested at the factory and is
ready for use upon receipt.
It is presumed that when the instrument was received, its shipping
carton was inspected for damage. If the carton was damaged, the carrier
was notified and the carton was saved for carrier inspection. The
instrument and other components were then removed from their
packing materials and inspected for broken parts, scratches, dents, or
other damage. Any damage was immediately reported to Lighthouse.
Damaged cartons may be replaced by calling Lighthouse Sales. Keep
an undamaged carton for reshipment of the instrument for its annual
factory calibration.
Identify the
ApexRemote
Model
The ApexRemote is available in two models: Serial and PoE. The
ApexRemote Serial requires +24VDC to be supplied through its
RJ45 connector. The ApexRemote PoE requires a customer-
supplied PoE network switch or an optional 24VDC Power Supply
using the power connector shipped with the ApexRemote and a Cat6
cable to a non-PoE switch. All models can be equipped at the factory
with an optional display.

Contents
Compare the contents with the pack slip / invoice / parts list. Report
immediately any missing or wrong parts to Lighthouse Support at 1-
800-945-5905 in the USA or 1-541-770-5905 outside of USA.
Configuration
Kit
Each order is shipped with a Configuration Kit, which includes the
SmartPort cable, software CD and a 24VDC Power Supply.
To properly use the kit, the software on the CD must be installed on a
computer that will act as a configuration station. Running the LWS
Instrument Setup Tool software will install the FTDI USB drivers and
the Instrument Setup Tool software required to communicate with the
instrument through the SmartPort cable. This cable and the software
are required to set up all ApexRemote instruments for use.
