Acute Alarm Samples
The default number of samples above the warning or alarm threshold before an alert is triggered is five consecutive
samples. Use the numeric entry box to adjust the default value up or down.
Asset Baselining
Sensors bound into the system automatically begin baselining. This button opens a screen to enable creation of new
baselines and thresholds of each sensor Node individually, displays the remaining samples in the current baseline, and
allows manual threshold limits to be set for both vibration and temperature on each sensor (see
Baseline a Sensor/Radio
(Asset)
on page 6).
Baseline Samples
The Solutions Kit takes a baseline of the first 300 running samples of an asset. This can be adjusted up or down by clicking
on this numeric entry box to any desired sample. Samples are taken at a fixed five-minute interval.
DEMO MODE
Use only for demonstration purposes when fast sampling is required. Demo mode enables the Teach mode on all the
bound sensor Nodes, putting them into a 2 second sample rate and changing the HMI graphs to log at a 2 second sample
rate for 15 minutes (status indicated by the green light within the button).
We also recommend you reduce the Baseline Samples to less than 30 for demonstration purposes. Using
Demo Mode
drains the battery faster and creates a larger log file that fills up memory quicker, so only use this mode when to
demonstration the kit, not during standard operation.
Always use the stop operation safely button on the HMI Options screen before powering down
and especially if
powering down after using the Demo Mode button.
Enable Cloud Pushing
Turn ON/OFF the switch to enable to the DXM to begin pushing data to a cloud webserver at five-minute intervals. This
requires additional set up and modification of the XML file in the DXM to point to the correct web server with the correct site
ID. Cloud pushing also requires connecting the DXM to a local network via Ethernet or a separately sold cellular modem.
DO NOT set the cloud push interval in the XML file because the script triggers the push.
Enable Password for Settings (Lvl 8)
Turn ON/OFF the switch to enable/disable a password to access the settings menu. The default password for User Level 8
is “88888888”. This can be modified by clicking the Password Table button above and changing the password for level 8 to
any number password up to 9 numbers long.
Enable Sensor Discovery
Use in the following situations: 1) When a sensor shows the orange "Out of Sync" icon to see if there was a signal
interference issue that has since recovered; or 2) After correcting a sensor out of sync error (battery replacement, signal
adjustment, etc.) to begin sampling again or when a new sensor is added to an existing radio.
The switch turns off when discovery is complete. When a sensor goes out of sync, the sensor is only checked again every
four hours to keep timeouts down to a minimum.
HMI Options
Provides access to copy/manage HMI log files, HMI configuration for advanced options, functional HMI options, and an Icon
Legend and Graph Legend.
Site Survey & Binding
Opens a screen to allow binding, site survey, and network reformation of each radio to the Solutions Kit (see
Bind a Node
on page 3).
Time until next sample (s)
Displays the time (in seconds) until the Solutions Kit samples data from all bound sensors and updates graphs and other
visual indicators.
Baseline a Sensor/Radio (Asset)
After the sensor/radio is installed and the system is powered on, the software automatically begins collecting data and determines if
the asset is running.
The software generates a baseline and thresholds based on the first 300 data samples or about 24 hours of asset running time
(unless modified on the Settings page).
When an asset is replaced, repaired, or has heavy maintenance done, create a new baseline. If the sensor is moved after the initial
baseline is calculate, generate a new baseline.
