User Instructions

6. User Instructions

Once fully configured, GuardII+ automatically collects and stores measurement data,
produces Alerts, and collects/updates Modbus information; however, if a particular feature is
not used, then the ability of the monitor to operate to its fullest extent may be compromised.
For example, if the Alert Relay is not connected, or the Alert Thresholds are not set, then the
entire Alert function will not work; the only way to tell if the measurement data indicates a
potential problem is by downloading and analyzing the data or monitoring the Modbus data
registers.
NOTE:
While this manual describes what needs to be done in the IAM software to
use a GuardII+ PD system, the complete details on how to use IAM are in
the IAM Help files.

6.1. First-Time Configuration

GuardII+ monitoring technologies require configuration before they can be used. When a
GuardII+ is started up for the first time, or when a new monitoring technology is added, the
Error indicator will blink green; this means that one or more technologies need to be
configured. Any monitoring technologies that are not configured will not take measurements.

NOTE:
In cases where the GuardII+ is left partially configured (for example, the
PD system is configured, but the Flux system is not), then any monitoring
technology that is configured will function normally.

6.2. IAM Preparation

Before the GuardII+ can be configured, there is some preparatory work to do.

6.2.1. Database Setup

If there isn’t already an IID database for storing measurement results, one needs to be
created. Once the database is created, add organizations and plants as needed; the structure
can be as simple or as complicated as desired; once the structure is completed, add an asset
for linking to the monitor.
