Recommended Approach To Deploying Datanet Units - Fourier DataNet User Manual

Note: In SRR mode the logger must be connected to AC
power at all times as the power consumption is much greater.
2.9. Recommended Approach to
Deploying DataNet Units
Now that you have a general understanding of how the
DataNet system functions, you may wish to use Fourier's
recommended approach for initial deployment of the system.
This approach will ensure a smooth and efficient deployment
of your DataNet units and you may then tweak this approach
based on experience you gain while using the system.
Note: When deploying the system bear in mind that several
factors could cause interference with the system, such as
electromagnetic pulses, metal shielding in the vicinity of the
transmissions, other devices using the same 2.4 GHz band,
etc. Be familiar with your environment before deploying the
system. Also refer to section 2.8.
1. After you have charged the DataNet units and are ready
to deploy them in your facility, collect all units - data
logger end units, Receiver and Repeaters (if relevant) –
and bring them to your PC workstation.
2. Connect the Receiver to the PC and form a network. Turn
on the units and one by one bring them online so you can
view their icons in the DataNet software's Map View.
3. Configure each of the units via the Setup feature. At this
stage it is not necessary to configure the type of sensors
you will be using, or sample rate, alarm levels, etc. The
point of this step is to configure each of the units with a
logger or Repeater name that indicates where in your
facility they will be deployed. For example, Room 15
Freezer or Floor 2 Bio Lab. This will make it much easier
