Procedure
1. Connect to a computer or field communicator.
You need to connect to a wired connection to set the wireless credentials.
For more information, see Connect to a wired HART interface.
2. Set the wireless network credentials (Network ID and Join Key) using wired
connection.
The monitor has a default Network ID and Join Key. You can change the network
credentials in the gateway that you used for configuration. All devices should join
the network once the battery is connected.
For more information, see Set the wireless network configuration.
After the device has joined the network, you can complete the rest of the
configuration steps over a wireless connection.
3.
(Optional)
Name the device (Tag and Device Description).
By default, the tag is VXAABBCC, where AABBCC: is the unique device ID. The device
joins the network and operates correctly even if no changes are made, but it is
recommended to name the device something meaningful for the specific
application.
4. Specify the units (English or metric) that will be used for each parameter.
By default, units are set to English.
5. Specify which measurements (velocity, temperature, etc.) correspond to the
process variables PV, SV, TV, and QV. Specify the units (English or metric) for
each parameter.
By default, PV corresponds to Z-axis overall, SV is X-axis overall, TV is Y-axis overall,
and QV is Z-axis PeakVue.
6. Specify alert levels.
Determine the thresholds at which measurement alerts will display and determine
the behavior of device alerts. See the alert limits in Device variable alert limits.
7. Specify the update rate.
The default update rate is once every 60 minutes. A faster update rate is not
recommended as it significantly reduces battery life.
8. Configure trending of parameters.
You can trend parameters in multiple locations such as in a plant historian, in AMS
Machine Works, and in a DCS control system.
