status, and any low battery warnings will be sent to the supervisor by e-mail.
Wireless performance tests (Smart-Vue Client
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.
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.
