Wireless Monitoring Solution
CAUTION: You may enter an e-mail address for the system supervisor in
Smart-Vue Client, under Settings
Alert configuration (F8)
System
settings. The results of the regular weekend datalogging test, database
status, and any low battery warnings will be sent to the supervisor by e-mail.
22.2.4 Monthly Wireless performance tests (Smart-Vue Client
Tools)
Smart-Vue Client can be used to run
a wireless performance test, checking
all modules in a user’s view. All modules must have a signal strength of 40%
or
higher.
Repeat
the
operation
for
modules
whose
signal
is
weaker
than
40% (by double-clicking on the line
with module(s) in question) to check
the
signal
strength
again.
If
you
get
the
same
results
three
times,
you
can
conclude that the signal is in fact too weak.
•
Generally
speaking,
you
can
improve
signal
quality
by
adding
one
or
more repeaters, or sometimes simply
by moving the various elements in
the wireless path slightly, or moving the module itself as described earlier
in this document.
•
For networks with 15 modules or less, you may improve signal strength
by
re-running
the
automatic
installation
procedure
using
the
SDP
sequence
described
earlier.
ATTENTION:
this
process
could
result
in
changes to the wireless path for
your modules, which may also change
sensor group configuration. If you run automatic installation, you must
check
to
make
sure
that
a
given
module’s
alert
strategy,
based
on
its
sensor group, is
configured properly.
Generate a report
•
Create a monthly sensor report. The
average, highest, and lowest values
are
important
pieces
of
information
to
ensure
the
proper
operation
of
your devices.
Complete system backup
•
Perform
a
complete
backup
of
your
entire
database
on
CD-ROM,
DVD,
or
external
hard
drive.
The
default
database
location
is
“C:\SmartVue >”. If appropriate,check with your system
administrator
to find out about your company’sbackup policy.
22.2.5 Yearly Check and change batteries
Depending on your usage, we recommend replacing batteries annually.•
Based on your installation, configuration, operation, maintenance, and
use, battery replacement may be required to be more or less frequently.
