2.1 Installation guide
To install this product correctly, please follow the steps below:
1. The open/close transmitter can be used for various types of installation.
2. Mount the switches on boundary points that should be monitored.
3. Mount the magnet facing the switches on a moving part indicating the open or closed
status.
4. Make sure that the transmitter, wires, switches, and magnet are placed without
interrupting the operation of valves or similar.
5. To secure a correct operation, make sure that the magnet is aligned in front of the
switches within 5 mm distance.
6. Mount the transmitter in a location with good radio connection using the included steel
bracket.
Please look in the VIDI Provisioning Manual for further setup.
2.2 Operation description
AVK Smart Water’s VIDI products are equipped with a long-lasting non-rechargeable lithium
battery-powered device that allow the acquisition of physical quantities and sending them using
low-power radio equipment.
The transmitter sends a data package every 30 minutes for LoRa® devices and every 60
minutes for NB-IoT devices, containing the current status of the valve. The magnet can either
be aligned in front of the open switch, in between or in front of the closed switch. The transmitter
sends a package every time the state changes.
2.3 Activation/deactivation
Provisioning and configuration are explained in the VIDI Provisioning Manual.
3. Maintenance
3.1 Battery replacement
The battery replacement can be done by opening the plastic casing. First unscrew the four
screws at the bottom with a 6mm Torx screwdriver (not included) and remove the lid, carefully.
Carefully take out the battery from the casing and disconnect the wire connector attached to the
Printed Circuit Board (PCB). Replace it with a new battery by connecting the wire connector to
the PCB.
A new battery can be requested at your local AVK supplier.
Once the battery is replaced in the case of the LoRaWAN™ transmitter, the message
counters are reset to zero. You must then also reset LoRa® server-side.
