RUN THRESHOLD
and
RESTART THRESHOLD
are optional alarm settings. In many motor
monitoring installations, the Running alarm is
set just above the normal operating tempera-
ture for a particular motor; this alarm flags
changes in expected operation or conditions.
The Restart alarm is typically set at a much
higher level; when motors are below their
RESTART alarm, they can be safely restarted
without risking thermal damage.
NOTE: If Run and Restart alarms don’t apply
to your application, feel free to treat these
as two independent alarm thresholds.

EPC
is the identification code stored in the
sensor EPC memory location. The system
uses the EPC IDs to identify specific sensors.
Verifying sensor assignments:
The EPC column in
the SENSOR FILE will be blank before a physical
sensor is assigned. After a sensor is assigned,
the sensor’s EPC code will be added to the EPC
column.
Removing a sensor assignment:
Delete the EPC
entry in the SENSOR FILE to “un-assign” a sen-
sor. Once unassigned, the sensor can be assigned
again as needed. Sensors are not damaged or
modified by being assigned or un-assigned.
Write Sensor File:
The WRITE button copies the
contents of the active worksheet to the SEN-
SOR FILE currently selected on the handheld.
The contents of the existing SENSOR FILE on the
handheld will be overwritten.
Several error checks will be run before writing
the SENSOR FILE to the reader. The current
worksheet must be a syntactically valid SENSOR
FILE. Please see section 5 for details on SENSOR
FILE syntax.
The reader should be removed from the docking
cradle, and the Temperature Scanner program
should be restarted to activate the new SENSOR
FILE settings.
Browse Files:
The BROWSE button opens a file
explorer window for browsing the file system
of the attached handheld. Selecting and open-
ing a file on the handheld copies it to an Excel
worksheet. This button can be used for viewing
measurement results saved in RESULTS FILE(s),
or for viewing other SENSOR FILE(s) not currently
selected on the handheld.
Help:
The pop-up screen provides basic help and
troubleshooting advice.
Troublingshooting
: If the utility cannot locate an
attached handheld device:
• Please remove the reader from the docking
cradle and restart the Temperature Scan-
ner program before using new SENSOR FILE
settings.
• Verify that the device is properly seated in
the dock, with the dock power cord plugged
in.
• Verify that the USB cable is connected
between the dock and the PC.
• Verify that the handheld device is not in
sleep mode.
• Verify that the handheld USB profile is set
to Mass Storage mode. This setting is avail-
able by clicking on the Windows START menu
on the handheld and selecting SETTINGS
→
CONTROL PANEL
→
USB PROFILE. After chang-
ing the setting, initiate a warm reboot of the
handheld by pressing the power button on
the keypad and selecting WARM REBOOT.
The Temperature Scanner application on the
handheld device should not be running while
using this utility.
