Installation Notes
E-Data on the Network
The NEEM-2 is intended to be a Do It Yourself (DIY) complete remote monitoring system utilizing installed Local Area Networks (LAN) and a connection to the Internet. This product can also be operated on your facility’s LAN exclusively without uploading your data to our Web-based Sensor-Info.com computer. If you decide not to upload your data to our Webpage server/data warehouse, alert messages and weekly reports will not be available.
Do It Yourself
The NEEM-2 is intended to be a Do It Yourself (DIY) install-and-set-up remote monitoring system. Basic skills found in most manufacturing facilities will be needed to set up the NEEM-2 at your facility.
Prepare to Monitor
Before discussing the installation issues, spend some time deciding what would be useful to monitor at your facility. Examples on this website illustrate various remote sensor monitoring solutions.
NEEM-2 technology is not expensive to acquire but once acquired, a small amount of effort will be needed to install and review the data. In some cases, the entire installation process will require less than 1 hour. The process of reviewing the measured data will be a 10-minute review of our weekly summary email.
What you need
Access to your facility’s Local Area Network – either by Ethernet cable or via a WiFi wireless connection.
A connection to standard AC Power. The power used is less than 10 watts, but typically 3 watts.
A relatively stable place to mount the NEEM-2 unit – approximately 8” x 7” x 4” – any orientation. That is, the NEEM-2 can be mounted on its side using the large black mounting brackets included with the NEEM-2 product.
What you will have to do
- Connect the unit to power,
- Connect the unit to the LAN
- Mount the included sensors
- Access the NEEM-2 unit’s setup page with your web browser. This will allow you to enter custom names for the different sensors you plan to use.
