Storage Mode

While in storage mode, the Q45VTP's radio does not operate. The Q45VTP ships from the factory in storage mode to conserve the

battery. To wake the device, press and hold the button for five seconds. To put any Q45VTP into storage mode, press and hold the

button for five seconds. The Q45VTP is in storage mode when the LEDs stop blinking.

General Operation

For the first 15 minutes after power up, the Node samples the sensor every two seconds (fast sample mode). After 15 minutes, the

Node defaults to 5 minute sample intervals. Activate fast sample mode by single clicking the button (the amber LED is solid).

ISO 10816 provides guidance for evaluating vibration velocity severity motors, pumps, fans, compressors, gear boxes, blowers,

dryers, presses, and other machines that operate in the 10 to 1000 Hz frequency range.

Configuration Instructions

Bind to the Gateway and Assign the Node Address

Before beginning the binding procedure, apply power to all the devices. Separate the devices by two meters when running binding

procedure. Put only one Gateway into binding at a time to prevent binding to the wrong Gateway.
