Typical installation Smart-Vue end-point modules transmit remote readings and alerts to a PC
running Thermo Scientific Smart-Vue Server/Smart-Vue Client software
and equipped with a wireless receiver. The receiver may also be located
remotely from the PC on a TCP/IP receiver installed directly on an Ethernet
network. Repeaters may be used when the wireless range between the
receiver and the Smart-Vue end-point module is too great to achieve a
strong signal. Figure 4below shows these basic configurations:
Figure 4. Typical Smart-Vue wireless configurations
Note: Each Smart-Vue end-point module may only connect back to one
receiver as shown above. Any given end-point module cannot be read by
multiple receivers.
Smart-Vue end-point modules connected to CO2detectors are generally
installed in a convenient location at room temperature.

Requirements and
recommendations For the purposes of this installation guide we assume that:
• Smart-Vue Server/Smart-Vue Client software is installed and configured
on your computer, and you have appropriate access rights to configure
devices.
• A Thermo Scientific receiver is installed and functioning on your
computer or network.
• The personal computer (PC) running Smart-Vue Server software runs
continuously, 24/7/365, and should be connected to an Uninterruptible
Power Supply (UPS) that protects against power surges and provides
power to back up the PC and components.
• The AC adapter used for your serial receiver (if applicable) should also
be plugged into a UPS.
• A UPS is also recommended as a power back-up for your
communication/network systems.
• Weekly manual system testing (e.g., temporarily remove a sensor to
verify the communications system is working) should be performed as
defined in your Standard Operating Procedure (SOP).
• Recommended maintenance procedures should be followed.
• If you are storing cold products, Thermo Fisher Scientific recommends
use of a back-up cooling system (e.g., CO2or LN2) to maintain freezer
chamber temperature below the critical level should a power failure
occur. Contact your local sales representative for more information.
• Thermo Fisher Scientific recommends Installation and Operational
Qualifications (IQ/OQ) be performed before initial use. Contact your
local sales representative for more information.
• For timely notification of an emergency/alarm, it is critical to establish
primary, secondary and tertiary call-out procedures with escalation so
contact is not dependent on reaching one individual. Ideally, ultimate
contact is with a security department or company with 24/7
monitoring.
End-point modules with internal probes should not be placed in
cold-rooms.
Please see the relevant product manuals for details on installing Smart-Vue
receivers and Smart-Vue Server/Smart-Vue Client software.

Placing your Smart-Vue
end-point module for
best wireless
performance
For optimal operation, follow these recommendations when physically
placing your device:
• Do not place the end-point module within 40 cm (16 in.) of another
end-point module.
• Make sure the wireless end-point module is not placed on an electrical
conduit or cable tray (such as for computer network cables).
• For best results, place the end-point module so that it faces the general
direction of the receiver antenna.
• Keep approximately 20 cm (8 in.) clear space around the end-point
module. A end-point module that is placed between two refrigerators
may not communicate effectively.
• See Appendix on pg. 22 for additional considerations.

Recommended order for
installing end-point
modules
In addition to placing your Smart-Vue end-point module as described above
for best individual wireless performance, you may also optimize overall
network performance by proceeding as follows when installing multiple
end-point modules:
1. Examine the general layout of your site to determine the placement
of your Smart-Vue end-point modules. The extent of your
pre-installation site survey depends on the number of end-point
modules to install. Feel free to contact your sales representative for
more information on this topic.
2. Place all end-point modules in their final locations before running
wireless setup (described in Activating the end-point module
(automatic wireless setup) on pg. 14).
3. Begin activation by pressing on the end-point module’s push-button
for 3 seconds (until “Searching” is displayed on the screen), starting
with the end-point modules closest to your receiver, working your
way “out” in concentric circles. This enables each Smart-Vue
end-point module to establish the optimal connection to your
receiver.

1. After ensuring that the dual CO2/temperature sensor is
disconnected from the module wire connector, place the sensor
inside the chamber to be monitered. Route the sensor connector and
flat ribbon cable through an available access port in your chamber.
When returning the access port plug, stopper, or filter, make sure
that the flat ribbon cable to the CO2/Template sensor is installed flat
or flush with the surface of the chamber wall and the access port
plug, stopper, or filter.
2. Avoid placing the CO2sensor near water which may accidently come
in contact with the sensor (e.g. a humidity pan or active humidity
source).
3. After routing the CO2/Temperature sensor connector and ribbon
cable outside of the chamber being monitored, connect the 4-pin
male end connector on the sensor end to the 4-pin female connector
on the module end.
