Re-establish communication with an endpoint without rebooting the MON-10496.
When an endpoint fails to communicate 5 times, the MON-10496 quarantines the endpoint, or ceases to attempt communication with the endpoint. Until you correct the cause of failure and re-establish communication, data is not collected from the quarantined endpoint.
Common reasons an endpoint fails to communicate:
-
The battery needs to be changed.
-
There is a significant obstruction between the endpoint and the MON-10496.
-
On the main Dashboard, click Wireless to access the Wireless Dashboard.
-
Select the quarantined endpoint.
-
Click the Action menu (
) and select Clear Quarantine. -
Confirm that the endpoint's status changes and that communication with the endpoint has been re-established.
Allow or restrict specific units for channels with a certain measurement type.
The default setting for units in the web application is imperial. Refer to Changing Measurement Type Units to Metric to switch from imperial to metric.
Note
Each sensor type can have one or more allowed units. The units you allow for a sensor type also determines in what units InsightCM calculates features.
-
Click the Navigation menu (
) and select System > Units. -
Select a sensor type.
-
Click Add Unit or Remove Unit to specify what units each sensor type can use.
See the imperial and metric units for each measurement type.

Change the measurement type units to metric.
Complete the following steps to switch to metric units.
-
Open a command prompt on the server machine and change to the following directory:
<Install Drive>:\Program Files\Cutsforth\InsightCM\
-
Run the following command:
InsightCMConsole.exe importdefinition -t unit -f C:\ProgramData\Cutsforth\ InsightCM\Definitions\UnitDefinitions\MetricUnits.json
-
Check that the command prompt reports
"Success:". -
Run the following command:
InsightCMConsole.exe exportdefinition -t asset -n <sensor name> -o <full path to output definition file>
-
Open the definition file using a text editor.
-
Find the property definition where the key value is
Unitand change the value ofDefaultValueto the appropriate metric unit. -
Save the file and run the following command:
InsightCMConsole.exe importdefinition -t asset -f "<fullpath to definition file>
-
Repeat steps 4 through 7 for each sensor definition you want to update.

Update the system image on your monitoring devices by uploading the new image versions to InsightCM and deploying the image to your devices.
Before you begin, download the version of the device image you wish to deploy.
To add or remove firmware versions from InsightCM, complete the following steps.
-
In InsightCM, click the Navigation menu (
) and select Utilities > Package Management. -
Click Upload, select the system image you wish to deploy to your devices, and click Open.
-
Select the outdated image(s) and click Remove.
-
Click Configuration (

You can fine-tune file transfer and network performance for wireless and CMS devices using the following features.
Burst Mode - A mode that you can configure on a device to enable the manual or scheduled acquisition of high-resolution data.
Sample Rate - You can configure the sample rate for channels on Cutsforth 923x modules only. Devices always sample from static channels on other module types at 1 Hz and for one second. For more information, refer to Frequently Asked Questions about Sample Rates and Durations .
Time Trigger Offset - An amount of time, in seconds, to delay time-based acquisitions. For example, if a device is configured to perform an acquisition daily at 1:00 PM, and the value of this property is 110 seconds, the device waits until 1:01:50 PM to perform the acquisition. This property is useful for spreading out network traffic when many devices are configured to perform acquisitions at a specific time of day.

Q: |
At what sample rate do devices acquire data? |
|
A: |
You can configure the sample rate for waveform channels on dynamic modules, such as the Cutsforth 9232, on the Device Configuration page by double-clicking on a device and selecting the Device Properties tab. However, devices always sample from channels that produce single-point values, such as voltage and temperature, at 1 Hz. If a device contains both types of channels, the device samples them at different rates. |
|
Q: |
Can you configure unique sample rates or acquisition durations for each channel? |
|
A: |
No: If you must sample from two nearby sensors at different rates, consider using two different devices, each with a unique sample rate. |
|
Q: |
How do devices log single-point data during a multi-second acquisition? |
|
A: |
When a device contains both waveform and single-point channels, you configure the duration of acquisitions on the Operating States tab of the Asset Configuration page for the equipment the device is monitoring. However, devices always log only the final value from single-point channels. Consider the following example where a device acquires from one waveform channel and one single-point channel for four seconds. |
|
The full, four-second acquisition. The device logs waveform data throughout the acquisition. |
|
|
The temperature value from the final second. This is the only temperature value the device logs from this acquisition. |
The Device Properties tab contains a table of properties of the device sample rate and the minimum and maximum current RMS value for the device to calculate all the configured Motor (MCSA) asset features.
The following are built-in properties:
-
Minimum Working Current (%FLA)—The minimum current RMS value of a motor for the device to calculate all the configured features (except Percent Full Load Amps) that belong to the Motor channel, as a percentage of the motor Full Load Amps. The default is 25%.
-
Maximum Working Current (%FLA)—The maximum current RMS value of a motor for the device to calculate all the configured features (except Percent Full Load Amps) that belong to the Motor channel, as a percentage of the motor Full Load Amps. The default is 200%.
If the instantaneous current RMS of a motor is below Minimum Working Current or above Maximum Working Current, the device only calculates the Percent Full Load Amps feature. The Rotor Bar Sideband feature returns a -100 dB value and other non-calculated features return a zero value.
