Swapping Devices

If you need to send a device for maintenance (such as

recalibration), you will need to swap it for another device to

ensure continuous monitoring and alarming.

Note:

If a device is removed without being swapped,

this will trigger a communication alarm.

When a device is swapped, the change is noted on the

Location History report (the report shows the device serial

number for a reporting period). If, during the reporting period,

the device was swapped, this event is listed in the report

summary.

To swap a device:

1

Ensure the new device has the same settings as the

device to be swapped (see

Options | System

Configuration | Locations Manager

, or refer to your

Vaisala product User Guide).
