6 | Introduction Smart-Vue Pro Duo / Quatro User Guide
Intended Use
The Smart-Vue Pro Duo/Quatro data logger (module) is
intended to monitor and record a range of physical
parameters such as temperature, humidity, 4-20mA
depending on the sensors connected to it. The data logger
supports digital and PT100 sensors, 4-20mA sensors. The
information collected using the sensors can then be
transmitted to a database server or cloud using a
very-long-range or short-range wireless communication
protocols like LoRaWAN or Bluetooth wireless connectivity
respectively. The data can be accessed via a mobile
application (Smart Connect) or via a web application
(Smart-Vue Pro), additionally, Smart Connect permits the user
to push the data to the cloud. The Smart-Vue Pro Duo/Quatro
data logger and the Smart-Vue Pro Web application enables
the user to manage the entire Smart-Vue Pro solutions. The
system can also support audio and visual signaling devices
such as Smart Remote Contact (module) and Smart Siren
(module). Refer to the user guides of these modules for more
information.
The Smart-Vue Pro Solutions is intended to monitor and
record critical physical parameters in life science,
pharmaceutical, and agri-food sectors and perfect for
monitoring several pieces of equipment simultaneously that
are used in a typical laboratory or in a storage facility. These
products should only be used by authorized and adequately
trained personnel. It is not considered as a medical device or
accessory to a medical device and has therefore not been
registered with a medical device regulatory agency. The
Smart-Vue Pro Solutions is 21CFRPart11 compatible system
and can be used as a document management system in a
regulated environment, when the entire solution is controlled
through the web application (Smart-Vue Pro). It is the user’s
responsibility to develop verification and validation protocol
based on the record keeping requirements.
Smart-Vue Pro Solution
Overview
Smart-Vue Pro Duo/Quatro data loggers monitor
temperature, humidity and other physical parameters which
are critical in life science, pharmaceutical and agricultural food
sectors. Smart-Vue Pro provides a flexible solution for
monitoring parameters simultaneously on several pieces of
equipment in lab or storage facilities.
LoRaWAN vs Bluetooth
Wireless Topologies
Supporting both bluetooth and LoRaWAN wireless
technologies, Smart-Vue Pro Duo/Quatro offers two distinct
wireless connectivity models to cover one’s need.
Smart-Vue Pro LoRaWAN
Smart-Vue Pro LoRaWAN is a long-range wireless technology
(with range up to 10 mi./16 km).
The architecture is based on a “star” topology in which
wireless data loggers connect to a gateway communicating
bi-directionally with a server that collects and analyzes
information collected by sensors (either on the cloud or
on-premises server).
Smart-Vue Pro LoRaWAN’s long range connectivity simplifies
installations on geographically large sites where a single
receiver is often sufficient to cover entire complexes and
campuses.

Bluetooth
Bluetooth is a shorter-range wireless technology (with range
up to about 100 feet/30 m) commonly found in Smart
Connect mobile devices such as smart-phones and tablets.
Bluetooth architecture is generally based on a
