Equipment list:

Page 3 1. Antenna wiring:

Antenna is first wired to the extension cord, then the Reader itself. Either of the antenna ports would work. See Pic. 1 & Pic.2 Pic.1 Pic.2 2. Sensor install Sensor are recommended to be installed on metal surface, favorable for wireless transmission distance. It is not necessary to fix down, but recommended when installed inside equipments. See Pic.3 Pic.3 Page 4 3. Sensor / Antenna Locations and Directions:

Antenna is best pointed towards the sensors at a depression angle, slightly away from the Sensors. See Pic.4 Pic.4 4. Reader Setup:

Finally, power can be connected to the Reader, the Reader should start functioning. RS485 Port and USB Port can be connected if needed. RS485 Port USB to Computer Power Supply Terminal Pic.5 Page 5 3. Software installation Instructions 1. Install: Setup_PQS_Reader_Utility Double click on Reader UT 4.x.x_Setup_PQSenseand follow the onscreen instructions to complete installation. 2.Connecting the Reader to Computer (See Pic.5) Step 1: Connect the reader to a power source, see below. The Reader supports a wide voltage input range, ranges 85~265V AC/DC are all suitable. Step 2: Turn on the electricity. Readers power signal light should turn on and flash in intervals. Step 3: Connect the Reader USB cord to the Computers USB port. Step 4: Run PQS Reader Utility (Wireless Temperature Display Software) Page 6 3. Wireless Temperature Monitoring Software Instructions 1. Start Temperature Display, see steps below:

1.1 Double click on shortcut icon on Desktop to open to software;

1.2 After the software has started, open Device Manager. Check under Ports to find Silicon Labs CP210x USB to UARTBridge(COMn). Page 7 1.3 Choose USB Port: COMn; Click on Open. 1.4 This should show up. Make sure FW Ver. displays version number normally. The above pics shows the Reader connected correctly;

1.5 Click on the Start button, Text shows UT scanning for Reader's paired sensors. Note: When text time out appears, it indicates the communication between the UT Software and Reader was unsuccessful, this does not influence the Reader from working properly, but indicates the Reader is currently busy processing, and will be counted under No_Resp.

Temperature Jump Filter Value: Set filter value for temperature jumps Temperature Jump Accept Counter: Set acceptable counts for temperature Note:

This temperature filtering function is not for filtering the difference in temperature for two locations, but the temperature difference of a single location. Explanation for settings in the above picture: When the temperature difference(overheat) of a certain location reaches 30 degrees and continues for 50 times, it will identify it as a normal temperature. It will then save the data (temperature data) and send to RS485, and clear counts. If it overheats for less than 50 times continuously, then it will filter out the temperature data. Page 27 5. Temperature Average Function Note:

Turn on function if needed. Sudden changes in temperature could take longer to be noticed, due to temperatures being averaged of latest eight readings. 6. Sensor Scan Mode Note:

Turn on function if needed, default is Run This functions parameter can be set/controlled through register address. 7. Get/Set Setting Parameters Function:

Get: Gets the current setting parameter of the Reader. Set: Overwrites and updates the Readers settings. Page 28 1.3 Auto Scan Function within range. The main function of Auto Scan is to automatically scan all detectable sensors 1. Sensor Details Interface:

Display interface for details of sensors scanned. 2. Antenna/Output Power Settings:

Change parameters for scanning sensors. 3. Scan Sensor Button:

Scans detectable sensors for 2 seconds. 4. Set Sensor ID / Set Cal Data Button Click on button to write changes into sensor memory.

(Only ID and Cal Data is changeable) Note: If sensor write fail, shorten the distance between sensor and antenna, then try again Page 29 1.4 Advanced Sensor Status Display 1.3 Displays temperature data for Sensor X84A:

Tx* represents the send signal strength, Rx represents the receive signal strength, Fx represents the fail count. The digit * of TX* represents the antenna (port), representing the antenna reading the sensor signals. When Read Fail is displayed: Failed to read the temperature. When No Setting is displayed: Sensor ID was not set. When Disable is displayed: This Sensor has been disabled. When ---- is displayed: Still Initializing, hasnt received temperature read. When ANT Disable is displayed: The antenna for reading the sensor has been disabled. Page 30 1.5 ALC Interface Instructions The main function of the ALC is to maintain the Sensor's receive (RX) in a certain area (Currently set as 10~19). This allows the Reader to be able to adjust the emissive power of the Sensor (TX) automatically, to prevent the Sensor from not working due of the large amounts of electromagnetic waves caused by large emissive power of the TX, as well as other possible problems. Note: It is recommended that the ALC Function is enabled while use. This allows the Reader to read each Sensor more intelligently, please contact us for any questions regarding ALC. 1. Enable/Disable ALC Function through the place in Pic 1. You may set them altogether:

Enable all: Enables ALC for all sensors Disable all: Disables ALC for all sensors

"all" refers to all Sensors (Sensor 1~24) Page 31 1.6. Redundant Mode Function The main function of Redundant Mode is to have sensors 13~24 act as a secondary sensor of sensors 1~12. The primary and secondary sensor should be placed at the same location (sensor 13 is substitute of sensor 1...etc.). All sensors will be operating properly, but data will be gathered and shown on the primary sensors display. When this function is enabled, sensors 13~24 will be greyed out and the data gathered will be merged to show on the primary sensors display. Page 32 Hidden Interface: 2.
