Getting started

Placing your Smart-Vue
end-point module for
best performance
Thermo Fisher Scientific
This guide leads you through basic installation steps to get you started with
your product. For more details, please see the Thermo Scientific Smart-Vue
Software User Manual. You may click on Help ==> User manual to open it
directly from within the Smart-Vue Client software.
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.
Wiring the Smart-Vue end-point module to a dry contact device
Connect the 2-wire cable extending from the Smart-Vue end-point module
to the appropriate output on the device where you are measuring the
open/closed status.
For dry contact devices, it is important to establish whether they are
configured for "normally open" (status is considered normal if the contact is
detected as "open") or "normally closed" (status is considered normal if the
contact is detected as "closed").
When working with "normally open" devices, the Smart-Vue tests emit a
small charge to test the current loop. If the loop is open, the device's status is
considered normal. If the loop is closed, an alarm is sent. However, an alarm
will not be sent if the cable between the Smart-Vue end-point module and
the device is cut, as the loop will still be open just as for a "normally open"
condition and the cut cable will not be detected. When working with a
device configured for "normally closed", the Smart-Vue end-point module
will send an alarm if the cable is cut.
For optimal operation, follow these recommendations when physically
placing your device:
• Do not place the end-point module within 40 cm (16 inches) of another
module.
• Make sure the wireless end-point module is not placed on an electrical
conduit or cable tray (such as for computer network cables).
• For best results, place the end-point module so that it faces the general
direction of the receiver antenna.
• Keep about 20 cm (8 inches) of clear space around the end-point
module. A module that is "stuck" between two refrigerators may not
communicate effectively.
