Preventive Maintenance Guidelines
Thermo Scientific Smart-Vue
®
Wireless Monitoring Solution Administrator Guide v 2.2 139
• For the Smart-Vue CO
2
module, unplug the AC adapter and make sure
battery is still functional. If not, change the battery and re-transfer
module settings.
CAUTION: Make sure you download data from the module before
unplugging the AC adapter, as if the battery is indeed empty, any new
readings stored in module memory will be lost.
• For wireless sirens, run test alarms on a regular basis (such as before long
vacations) and change the batteries yearly.
Calibration
• Your instruments must be calibrated on a regular basis in order to
provide precise readings. Among other things, annual calibration
corrects the sensor to ensure accurate readings. Contact your Thermo
Scientific technician or sales representative to find out more about
calibration services and preventative maintenance contracts for your
Smart-Vue modules.
Visually check cables, connectors, power adapters and holders (Velcro,
screws, and magnet)
• Check the status of all cables, particularly flat cables. There must be no
visible damage. Mounting systems must be secure and hold modules
and sensors firmly.
Database archive
• Use Smart-Vue Client to archive your data. This will also generally
improve overall system performance.
UPS maintenance in compliance with manufacturer recommendations
• Uninterrupted power supplies (UPS) must be maintained in proper
working order. UPS batteries must be changed at regular intervals.
Check the instructions provided with your UPS for specific details for
your products.
22.2.6 Every 5 years Change flat cables
• Flat cables should be changed every five years, even if they appear intact
on the outside. Cable wear may be hidden inside.
