USB configuration cable; supplied with a device order only. For use with the Primex Device Configuration software to manually configure a device or troubleshoot device network connectivity issues. It's recommended to save this cable for future use. |
The location of the sensor and detector impacts its use and operation. Be sure to identify a location that meets the following guidelines. For mounting illustrations, see topic Contact Closure Sensor application uses.
Contact Closure Sensor location
Contact Closure Detector placement
The detector is installed to function in a normally closed position. The complete assembly comes in two main parts: a magnet in a plastic housing, and a switch with screw terminals in another separate plastic housing.
Mount switch to the stationary surface, such as a door or window frame.
Mount magnet to the moving surface, such as door or window.
Remove the device cover; simultaneously press the two tabs located on the top side of the device (A).
Insert the 3.0v Primex Lithium/Iron Disulfide Battery Pack or two 1.5v Lithium AA batteries. Follow the symbols showing the correct way to position the positive (+) and negative (-) ends of the battery pack.
Located to the lower-right of the battery compartment, set the battery on/off switch to the Up (On) position (B).

The detector is installed to function in a normally closed position. The complete assembly comes in two main parts: a magnet in a plastic housing, and a switch with screw terminals in another separate plastic housing.
Using the supplied 20 AWG wire, attach a wire to each of the switch screw terminals (A). Wire can be cut to length to support the monitored application.
-
Fasten switch (B) and sensor casing (C) to non-moving frame surrounding door or window. Use the spacer bar (D) if needed for alignment to magnet.
-
Fasten magnet near edge of moveable sash or door (A). Position magnet housing no more than 1⁄8” from switch and tighten mounting screws.
Connect supplied 20 AWG wire to Contact Closure Sensor 2-pin terminal block (A). Terminal block is removable; ensure block is seeded into sensor contact closure input.
-
Connect AC power (B). PoE model, connect Ethernet cable to device and active port.
Verify Signal OK is displayed on the LCD screen, which indicates it successfully checked-in. When power was applied, the sensor initiated a check-in to OneVue.
-
If Signal OK is not displayed, initiate a manual check-in. From the front of the sensor, press and quickly release the check-in button
(up arrow). The sensor emits a series of audio beeps indicating its connection sequence. During an active check-in connection, additional pressing of the check-in button is ignored.
Verify the following settings are configured to meet the requirements of the condition being monitored.
-
Monitored Asset settings. Go to Monitoring > Monitored Assets.
Each Primex sensor is assigned to a Monitored Asset and its readings or monitored conditions generate the current and historical readings for the asset. In addition, sensor operating condition data is linked to its assigned Monitored Asset. When a sensor enters a Warning or Alarm state, its assigned Monitored Asset is also set to an Alarm or Warning state.
Sensor assigned to a Monitored Asset. Go to Devices > Sensors > select sensor > verify assigned Monitored Asset.
Monitored Asset assigned to sensor is added to an Alert Rule.
Monitored Asset assigned to sensor is added to a Report Profile.
Users responsible for the monitored condition are assigned to Monitored Asset's Business Unit.

Sensor settings (Go to Monitoring > Monitored Assets > select Monitored Asset > select sensor.
-
Alarm Delay
The Alarm Delay is the amount of time OneVue delays setting the sensor and Monitored Asset to an Alarm state when in an Out of Range status. When it remains in an Out of Range for the time period set in its Alarm Delay setting, the sensor and its Monitored Asset are set to an Alarm state with a status of Out of Range, Past Alarm Delay.
By default set to 30 minutes, and can be set to immediate (0) or 1, 2, 8, 16, or 24 hours.
-
Audio Alert (sensor gateway setting)
Primex sensors are equipped with a reading alarm audio alert. The audio alert is activated when a reading is out of range and the time period it has been out of range has exceeded the time period set in its Alarm Delay. Be default, the audio alert is disabled.
By default audio alert is disabled.
-
Logging Interval (sensor gateway setting)
The Logging Interval is how frequent a sensor logs a reading and stores it into its internal memory. All logged readings are then sent to OneVue at the frequency set the sensor's Check-in Interval frequency.
By default set to 1 hour.
-
Check-in Interval (sensor gateway setting)
The Check-in Interval is the frequency a sensor connects to the facility's network to send its logged readings to OneVue. Also during each check-in, pending setting updates are downloaded to the sensor.
By default set to 8 hours.
-
Unresponsive Timeout (sensor gateway setting)
The Unresponsive Timeout is the maximum amount of time a Primex device can go without a check-in to OneVue. When this time limit is exceeded, the device is set to an Alarm state with an Unresponsive status.
By default set to 16 hours.
