General Recommendations
For optimal performance, follow these recommendations
when physically placing your Smart-Vue Pro Duo/Quatro data
logger:
•
The minimum distance between two data loggers must
be 40 cm (16 inches).
•
Make sure the data logger is not placed on an electrical
conduit or cable tray (such as those used for computer
network cables).
•
Keep about 20 cm (8 in.) of clear space around the data
logger. For example, a data logger that is “stuck”
between two refrigerators may not communicate
effectively.
Make sure all cables, if any, are firmly attached and sensors
are properly inserted in the appropriate space being
monitored.
Smart-Vue Pro LoRaWAN
A typical Smart-Vue Pro LoRaWAN wireless installation
involves one or more Smart-Vue Pro Duo/Quatro data loggers
and a Smart- Vue Pro LoRaWAN-enabled receiver. The
Smart-Vue Pro LoRaWAN enabled receiver must be up and
running and within wireless range of the Smart-Vue Pro
Duo/Quatro data loggers you are trying to connect.
If necessary, see the
Smart-Vue Pro LoRaWAN-enabled
receiver document
for requirements and details on the
receiver component.
Long-range wireless connectivity enables Smart-Vue Pro
Duo/Quatro data loggers to be placed nearly anywhere in
your building or site. If you are using a Smart-Vue Pro
LoRaWAN-enabled receiver and the signal is not strong
enough, a second Smart-Vue Pro LoRaWAN-enabled
receiver may be required. Contact authorized customer
support team for support if you are having issues with
connectivity.
•
For best results, place the data logger facing the direction
of the receiver (i.e. antenna vertical and not laying down
on a table).
Bluetooth
As Bluetooth wireless technology is used to provide
“short-range” connectivity (up to about 50 meters
line-of-sight), it is important to keep the unit as clear as
possible from surrounding obstruction.
Preparing the Mounting Kit
The Smart-Vue Pro Duo/Quatro data logger can be mounted
easily on various surfaces. The data logger holder can be
fixed using the screws or maintained in a stable position with
its magnetic surface.
The holder enables you to quickly place the data logger or
remove it for maintenance operations. For example, to
change the batteries or clean the device.
Preparing the Mounting Kit
1. Attach the data logger holder to the desired location
using the provided screws or adhere the magnet behind
the holder to a metal surface. For best wireless
performance, follow Thermo Scientific recommendations
described in
