Preventive Maintenance Guidelines
Thermo Scientific Smart-Vue
®
Wireless Monitoring Solution Administrator Guide v 2.2 123
CAUTION: Wireless emissions from Smart-Vue modules are 80 times
weaker than a cell phone, on average.
22.1.2.3 Placing Smart-Vue
module for best performance
For optimal operation, follow these recommendations when physically
placing your device:
• Do not place the module at a distance less than 40 cm (16 in.) of
another module.
• Make sure the wireless module is not placed on an electrical conduit or
cable tray.
• For best results, place the module so that it faces the general direction of
the receiver antenna.
• Keep about 20 cm (8 in.) of clear space around the module. A module
that is placed between two refrigerators of close proximity may not
communicate effectively.
22.1.3 Installation
Recommendations
22.1.3.1 IQ/OQ We highly recommend you perform a complete Installation Qualification
and Operational Qualification procedure. Contact your Thermo Scientific
sales representative to find out more about this service. If you do not intend
to perform this type of qualification, here are a few suggestions to test the
modules in your system.
1. Start by configuring alarms in Smart-Vue Client (as described in the
Smart-Vue Client User Manual).
2. Test your alert configuration by inducing temporary alarm conditions
on your Smart-Vue modules, for example:
Table 4: Simple actions to induce temporary alarm conditions for
testing modules.
Sensor type Suggestion
Temperature
(external sensor)
Raise or lower the sensor temperature beyond the configured
alarm limits.
Differential
pressure
Unplug the tubes from the module to trigger an alarm.
