Moving the Smart-Vue

end-point module into a group

1. Launch Smart-Vue Client on your computer and enter your login 

name and password to continue. The new Smart-Vue end-point 
module should be listed as shown here, where “local” refers to the 
receiver and “SDP-local” refers to a generic group for new 
un-configured end-point modules connected to that receiver.

Figure 7. 

Example with new 4-20 mA end-point module in the generic 
“SDP” group

2. Press F11 or select Settings ==> Sensor settings ( 

 ), and log in 

when prompted.

3. You may choose to click on Modify Sensor Name to assign replace 

the numeric end-point module address with a user-friendly name 
(e.g., 4-20 mA).

The name on the end-point module's LCD is refreshed every 24 hours 
(maximum) to preserve battery life. Thus, name changes may not be shown 
immediately, but they are taken into account in the software.
