DeviceLink Connect
Introduction | 1
Introduction
The DeviceLink Connect remote monitoring system captures
key system and reliability parameters enabling anytime-
anywhere monitoring of your device via the Thermo Connect
cloud platform. The DeviceLink Connect system consists of
Wi-Fi modules (motes), serial cables, sensors, and software
tools that allow you to monitor your laboratory equipment for
key performance and reliability parameters and analyze data.
Alarms are issued automatically to users’ email and mobile
devices when threshold breaches are detected in the system.
Intended Use
This DeviceLink Connect system is intended for:
•
Research or General Purpose indoor use only.
•
Monitoring overall asset health, detect and alarm on
asset malfunction and degradation.
•
Service vs. buy decisions.
•
Remote system health monitoring and troubleshooting
for service providers.
•
It is not stated or implied that the system will uplift the
intended use of the asset.
•
The system will collect, store, and provide analytical data.
The data analytics collected from multiple assets (fleet)
will provide the operator with supporting data for
efficiency and cost reduction recommendations.
•
To monitor the performance of the asset to meet the
asset’s intended use and assess overall health using
trend analysis from baseline and other comparable units.
Non-Intended Use
The DeviceLink Connect system is not considered as medical
device and has therefore not been registered with a medical
device regulatory body (e.g. FDA).
•
These devices are not to be used for any medical
purposes.
Environmental Operating
Conditions
The DeviceLink Connect mote is designed and intended for
reliable operation at normal indoor ambient temperature and
humidity.
•
Motes and sensors shall not be placed in environmental
conditions beyond recommended specifications.
•
The mote or any sensors are not submersible.
•
Operating temperature range: 0ºC to +45ºC.
•
Operating humidity range: 0-85% RH, non-condensing.
Backup Battery
The DeviceLink Connect contains a factory installed Li-ion
battery which cannot be replaced. The Li-ion battery is
selected and designed to operate throughout the life of the
DeviceLink Connect system. The Li-ion battery must be
shipped via ground per IATA regulations.
Charging cycles and charge current are managed by a Power
Management System (PMS) within the DeviceLink Connect.
The charge rate is determined by system load, ambient
temperature, battery temperature and battery charge state.
Maintenance and
Firmware Updates
While there is no annual maintenance required for the
DeviceLink Connect, Thermo Fisher Scientific may
periodically make firmware updates available for the device.
Users will be notified of available firmware updates as they are
available and upon written acceptance by the user, an
over-the-air (OTA) firmware update of the device will be
initiated.
CAUTION:
Follow local regulations concerning
disposal of packaging, unused wireless devices
and their accessories, and promote their
recycling.
