10 | Using the Smart Remote Contact
Smart Remote Contact
Battery
The battery in the Smart Remote Contact is used to send an
“AC unplugged” event to the Smart-Vue Pro Web Application.
Once the device sends the unplug event to the Smart-Vue
Pro Web application, the device will go into sleep mode until it
is connected to AC power.
A communication failure alarm will be triggered if data from
the Smart Remote Contact is not received by the Smart-Vue
Pro Cloud server after a defined time interval as configured in
the Smart-Vue Pro Application, with or without the AC
adapter connected to the Smart Remote Contact. In case of a
low battery, the “low battery” event is generated by the Smart
Remote Contact and is sent to the Smart-Vue Pro Web
application. In normal use, when the device is plugged into
AC power, the battery will not discharge. Battery life is
extended as long as the device is plugged into AC power.
Connecting to the Terminal
Smart Remote Contact devices are used to trigger alerts
using one or two external devices, if alarm conditions are
detected in your Smart-Vue Pro wireless monitoring system.
Alarms and Alerts can be configured in the Smart-Vue Pro
web application.
For example, you can configure a data logger to trigger an
alarm, if the temperature exceeds or drops below a specified
limit. The alarm limits and values depend on the type of data
logger you are using. The Smart Remote Contact receives
wirelessly via the LoRa network when an alarm is detected by
the system, and then triggers the appropriate action on the
connected device(s).

The Smart Remote Contact can control two connected
devices independently, as configured in the Smart-Vue Pro
web application.
