Description
Lbat
Indicates an Alarm state due to its battery level is critically low.
Readings are not displayed, sampled, logged, or transmitted to OneVue during this state.
Up
Indicates a firmware update is being applied to the device.
Readings are not displayed, sampled, logged, or transmitted to OneVue during this state.
HwF
Indicates device is experiencing an internal hardware failure due to the main processor cannot communicate with the internal
sensing element. Contact Technical Support for additional assistance.
Readings are not displayed, sampled, logged, or transmitted to OneVue during this state.
FTST
Indicates device is in a Factory Test Mode. This is initiated by pressing and holding down the check-in button for greater than 7
seconds. If a device has entered this mode, it performs a factory test and power-cycles in approximately 1 minute, and then returns
to its normal operating mode. This test mode does not impact use of the device or its local memory, and is intended only for use by
the Primex factory engineering staff.
Readings are not displayed, sampled, logged, or transmitted to OneVue during this state.
B. Service Buttons
A sensor has two service buttons located on the front of the device.
Button
Operation
The silence button clears the local reading alarm.
Silence
Button
During a reading Alarm state, pressing and immediately releasing the silence button
flashing, but does not acknowledge the alert in your OneVue account.
Audio alert resumes once the time period of the Resume Audio Alert setting has been reached. Audio alert settings are configured from
a sensor's gateway profile.
Check-
Pressing and releasing the check-in
in button
readings are transmitted to OneVue and any pending updates are downloaded to the device. During an active check-in connection,
additional pressing of the check-in button is ignored.
When the check-in button is pressed and released, the device emits a series of audio beeps indicating its connection sequence. When a
device emits beeps as indicated below and displays Signal Ok, this indicates a successful check-in.
• 1 beep: device booted
• 2 beeps: device connected to network
• 3 beeps: device connected to OneVue
If a check-in fails, commonly due to the device cannot establish a network connection, all logged readings are stored in the device's non-
volatile memory. If the number of failed check-ins exceeds the size of the non-volatile memory, the oldest readings are overwritten.
Primex sensor devices store up to 4096 readings.
C. LED Status Indicators
Primex sensors have three LED indicators that provide a visual indicator of its current state.
