Figure 5.3 – Serial Connection
The first time you connect to a sensor, the default Sensor ID will be the last seven digits of
the sensor’s serial number. However, the names in the Location and Approach fields will
be set to default values.
Note
It is recommended that you label the service end of each SmartSensor Matrix cable
when the cable is pulled so that the approach the sensor is monitoring can be docu-
mented. You may need to power down all sensors except for the one you are configur-
ing in order to determine which approach it is monitoring.
If you have problems connecting:
1 Make sure that all power and communication wiring is correct.
2 Check the port settings (Port ID).
Connection failure can occur for various reasons; if a failure occurs repeatedly, call Wa-
vetronix Technical Support for assistance.
Once you have selected a sensor from the device list, you can click again on that row to
bring up a Sensor Info pop-up (see Figure 5.4). The information in the Sensor Info screen
cannot be edited.
