Placing your Smart-Vue
module for best performance
Smart-Vue 4-20 mA Installation Guide

The procedure described here assumes that Smart-Vue Server/Smart-Vue
Client software is installed on your computer, and that your Thermo
Scientific wireless receiver is configured and ready to use.
Connect the 2-wire cable extending from the Smart-Vue module to the
appropriate output on your current-generating device (for 4-20 mA
modules only). The black wire from the Smart-Vue module is the ground
(-); the yellow wire is for the signal from your connected device (+).
Please check your device's operating instructions for specific pin indications.
For optimal operation, follow these recommendations when physically
placing your device:
• Do not place the module within 40 cm (16 in.) of another module.
• Make sure the wireless module is not placed on an electrical conduit or
cable tray (such as for computer network cables).
• For best results, place the module so that it faces the general direction of
the receiver antenna.
• Keep about 20 cm (8 in.) of clear space around the module. A module
that is placed between two refrigerators may not communicate
effectively.
• See Appendix on pg. 20 for additional considerations.
NOTE: When routing the cable for the Smart-Vue sensor, avoid direct
contact with or close proximity placement of the sensor cabling with any
high voltage wiring. Cabling should be placed with no less than a minimum
of 5 cm (2 inches) distance from high voltage components. Also, avoid
running the sensor cable in parallel with high voltage wiring. For all other
manufacturers' equipment, contact the manufacturer of the instrument for
instructions regarding proper placement of the sensor.
