Installation and Setup
3.1 Special Tools Needed
In additional to standard tools used for an installation, it is strongly recommended that you have
the following tools on hand for installing The HUB, specifically needed for keeping the wires for
the sensors safe and organized.
• Cable Ties: used to secure and attach cables from the wired sensors to the asset and
away from moving parts that could pinch/damage cables or pose a tripping risk.
• Cable Tie Gun: easily tightens cable ties and clips the ends neatly without sharp edges.
• Wire Snips/Snippers/Nippers: used to cut cable ties apart
3.2 Hardware Installation Procedures
Installation of the HUB and wired sensors is conducted by trained Field Operations staff to
ensure optimal performance for your HUB solution. Please refer to the Field Services
Installation Guide for detailed installation instructions.
3.3 Software Setup Procedures
The software setup procedures for The HUB in SMARTdiagnostics
®
are similar to those for V3
sensors.
3.3.1 Adjusting HUB and Sensor Settings
1. Once a HUB has been added to SMARTdiagnostics
®
, it appears in the Location Network
settings under the IoT HUBs tab on the screen.
2. The Hardware Status Overview displays the number of HUBs at the Location as well as
their current Reporting Status. To view details for a specific HUB, use the dropdown to
select the hardware for which you want to view. The screen updates to display settings
for the selected HUB.
3. The HUB settings are automatically updated for the selected device, including the Serial
Number, Firmware Version, Last Update, Number of Sensors Reporting and Power
Type. For the initial release, the Voltage and Temperature values in this table are set to
a default value of -1 and will not update, therefore users should ignore these values for
the time being. The IoT HUB Name is editable if you want to rename the HUB.
4. When the HUB checks into the network to report status, the Sensors attached to the
HUB will also check in and populate the Sensor table at the bottom of the screen.
5. Each Sensor has configuration settings that can be adjusted.
a. Nickname – Rename the sensor for easier reference.
b. Trigger Type – Triggers can be set to External or Timer-based
c. Trigger – If the Trigger Type is set to External, select whether the sensor’s
trigger will be off Trigger A or Trigger B
