A Sync Bluetooth™ Bridge is a network communication device that sends and receives data from other Sync Bluetooth Clocks and Repeaters over the Sync Bluetooth mesh network. A Bridge sends data to and downloads settings from OneVue over its connection to your facility's network.
The LCD display provides a visual reporting of its current operating state. The segments below are displayed indicating its current state.
Segment |
Description |
|---|---|
Bton |
Indicates the device is in Normal operating mode; allowing its connection to Sync Bluetooth mesh network and Ethernet or Wi-Fi network. |
NTP |
Indicates its connection to a NTP Server has failed three (3) consecutive times and its UTC time is not accurate. The red LED flashes during this state. |
NoNt |
Indicates the device is in No Network mode. During installation, when a network is not available, set the device to No Network mode to allow its connection to clocks and repeaters over the Sync Bluetooth mesh network. When a network is available, the device must be set back to Normal mode (Bton). |
No Signal |
Indicates its last connection to an Ethernet or Wi-Fi network failed. For PoE or Ethernet use, a failed check-in may be due to a network connection cannot be established. For Wi-Fi network use, a failed check-in may be due to the device is not within range of a wireless signal or the wireless signal strength is not adequate for normal operation. If the device is powered by AC or Power over Ethernet (PoE), the yellow LED indicator flashes during this state. |
Signal Ok |
Indicates its last connection to an Ethernet or Wi-Fi network and check-in to OneVue was successful. |
LOW |
When operating solely on battery-backup power, indicates its estimated battery life is less than 25%. It's recommended to replace the batteries. |
Lbat |
When operating solely on battery-backup power, indicates its battery level is critically low. Data is not logged or transmitted to OneVue during this state. |
Up |
A firmware update is being applied to the device. Data is not logged or transmitted to OneVue during this state. |
Con |
The device is in configuration mode. The config icon is also displayed. Data is not logged or transmitted to OneVue during this state. |
A Bridge has three LED indicators, located on the front of the device, that provide a visual indicator of its current status.
When power is first applied, its LCD segments display and LED indicators briefly illuminate.
A Bridge has two service buttons located on the front of the device.
Action |
Button |
Use |
|---|---|---|
No Network mode |
Press and hold for 3 seconds |
During installation, when a Ethernet or Wi-Fi network is not available, the device must be set to No Network mode. During this mode, the device does not connect to the facility's network. |
Dismiss LED Alert |
|
During an Alarm state, pressing the silence button stops the LED from flashing. |
Initiate Manual Check-in |
|
Pressing the check-in button during normal operation initiates a check-in to OneVue and a connection to an NTP Server to obtain UTC time. During a check-in, all data is sent to OneVue and any pending updates are downloaded to the device. When the check-in button is pressed, its LCD display indicates its connection by displaying the following sequence of numbers. During an active check-in connection, additional pressing of the check-in button is ignored. If a check-in fails, all data is stored in the device's non-volatile memory; stores up to a maximum of 1000 clock check-in logs. |
