Device Preconfiguration - adding sensors to OneVue

Complete device preconfiguration

1. From OneVue, go to the Dashboard. Your To Do list displays any orders requiring device preconfiguration.

2. From the To Do list, select the order to be configured.

   

3. From Begin Device Preconfiguration , select if you want to complete the configuration on your own now or request assistance from Primex.

   • If you selected have a Primex Project Manager contact me

     Provide the information to schedule a Preconfiguration Consult and select Submit.

   • If you selected I'll try it on my own

     You are guided through the configuration process for each sensor device.

   

4. From Existing Networks, review the networks listed and select an option.

   

   • If the sensor devices can be assigned to a Network listed

     Select I'll use one of these.

   • If a Network will not be assigned to sensor devices (facility network not available)

     Select I'll use one of these and when assigning a network to each device select No Network.

   • If there are no networks listed or if the devices cannot use a network listed

     Select I want to create a new network. From the Create Network screen, enter the network settings. To view all settings, select Show Advanced Options.

   

5. From the Configuring Devices screen, assign a Network and enter the settings for each sensor device.

   Each setting is optional and can be skipped if you are not ready to assign a network or provide the settings. If any settings are skipped and Confirm Shipment is selected, the device(s) are shipped from Primex. Failure to assign a network profile will require the network to be assigned onsite using the OWDC app.

   From the left section, the current device you are configuring is highlighted.

   

   Settings for each sensor device includes:

   • Network

     Assigning a network allows the sensor device to connect to the facility's network.

     You can either select an existing Network Profile, create a new Network Profile, or select No Network if a network cannot be assigned or created at this time. If you are creating a new Network, select Show Advanced Options to view all settings.

     If a Network is not assigned, the device is required to be configured onsite with the OWDC app.

   • What will this Monitor? (Monitored Asset)

     The Monitored Asset is what the sensor device is monitoring. A sensor is assigned to a Monitored Asset and its readings and operating conditions are linked to the Monitored Asset.

     You can create a new Monitored Asset or select an existing Monitored Asset. To create a new asset, start typing into the field.

   • Label

     Information printed on the label affixed to the sensor device by Primex. By default, set to the Monitored Asset name. Allows up to a maximum of 20 characters. If an existing Monitored Asset (What Will This Monitor) is selected, the label value cannot be changed.

   • Normal Condition

     The Normal Condition is the expected operating range or the condition of the Monitored Asset assigned to the sensor. The settings vary based on the type of sensor and the condition being monitored.

6. Advanced settings (optional)

   You may choose to provide advanced settings. To view the advanced settings, from the top section select Show Advanced Options.

   

   Advanced settings include:

   • Alarm Delay

     The Alarm Delay sets the amount of time OneVue delays setting the sensor and its assigned Monitored Asset to an Alarm state. When a sensor reading is not within its Normal Condition (an Out of Range status) and it remains Out of Range for the time period set in its Alarm Delay setting, the sensor and Monitored Asset are then set to an Alarm state with a status of Out of Range, Past Alarm Delay.

   • Door Delay (Differential Pressure Sensor door monitoring)

     Period of time a door switch is allowed to be in an Open status before the sensor and Monitored Asset is set to the Alarms Disabled state with the status of Past Door Delay.

   • Network IPv4 address (Non-DCHP network)

     The primary network IPv4 address assigned to the sensor to allow its connection to your facility’s network. The network assigned is required to be a non-DHCP network.

   • Alternate network

     Serves as a backup network if the connection to the primary network is not available.

   • Alternate IPv4 address (Non-DHCP Network)

     Serves as a backup IP address if the connection to the primary IP address is not available.

   • Location

     By default, a device is not assigned to a Location. If your account structure uses Locations to control user access, assign a device to a Location to ensure users have access to the devices they are responsible for.

7. Once you have completed (or optionally skipped) the steps for all devices, a summary page is displayed. From the list, you can also change a setting by selecting Change.

   

8. Once you are ready to complete the configuration and process the order, select Confirm Shipment.

   The sensors are configured by Primex.

   • Sensors are added to your OneVue account and configured with the settings provided during preconfiguration.

     Once configured by Primex, the sensors are only listed in OneVue and are not active. A sensor does not become active until it establishes a connection to its assigned network at your facility and checks-in to OneVue.

     If a sensor was assigned to a new Monitored Asset, the Monitored Asset is assigned to the account Business Unit.

   • Sensors and their packaging are labeled with the provided settings.

   • If a network was not assigned to a sensor or if the network settings were entered incorrectly, the sensor will be required to be assigned to a network while onsite using the OneVue Wired Device Configurator (OWDC) app.
