CHAPTER 1. Introduction This chapter provides an overview of the Subfloor EZ Node hardware, introduces this installation guide, and lists general warnings and precautions.
Subfloor EZ Node Hardware Installation Guide Version 1.0 Overview The Subfloor EZ Node is a wireless sensor that measures subfloor temperature and pressure differences between the data center room and its subfloor cavities. The Subfloor EZ Node contains: A high-pressure (positive) barb and a high-pressure air hose fitted with a diffuser, which is placed in the subfloor.
Subfloor EZ Node Hardware Installation Guide Version 1.0 Item Description Denotes a safety warning of a physical or electrical nature Document References The documents listed in this section affect the activities in this document. Refer to the appropriate document for user-specific information.
Subfloor EZ Node Hardware Installation Guide Version 1.0 Safety Warning: Do not touch any electrical or computer/server equipment in the data center without approval from data center operators (including loose cables, pushcarts, and terminals).
CHAPTER 2. Getting Started This chapter lists the hardware, software, tools, and additional material requirements for installing Subfloor EZ Nodes.
Subfloor EZ Node Hardware Installation Guide Version 1.0 Required Hardware The required hardware is included in the Subfloor EZ Node and the Accessory Kit, which contain these components: One wireless Subfloor EZ Node module with two installed batteries One 3-foot long air hose fitted with one diffuser tip on one end. One mounting bracket with preinstalled command strips.
Subfloor EZ Node Hardware Installation Guide Version 1.0 Cable ties, 24” thermistor harness, mounting bracket (not shown) PLACE LOW-PRESSURE DIFFUSER IN STILL AIR. Warning: The Subfloor EZ Node contains a low-pressure sensor internal to the unit, but if a client needs to have the U-turn hose replaced by an external hose, make sure to position the low-pressure diffuser (-) in an area of still air. Rapidly moving air provides incorrect pressure readings.
Subfloor EZ Node Hardware Installation Guide Version 1.0 Required Software The Subfloor EZ Node installation requires the installation of the following SynapSense software: Web Console™ MapSense™ (including optional Active Control™ software with MapSense project *.dlz file exported to the Web Console) Installation of SynapSense software generally takes place prior to hardware installation. This prevents redundancy of hardware verification activities.
CHAPTER 3. Installing Subfloor EZ Nodes This chapter describes general guidelines and specific procedures for installing Subfloor EZ Nodes.
Subfloor EZ Node Hardware Installation Guide Version 1.0 General Installation Guidelines Ensure software installation and required file exports are complete before installing hardware. Be consistent and neat.
Subfloor EZ Node Hardware Installation Guide Version 1.0 Preparing to Install the Subfloor EZ Node Hardware The SynapSense Field Engineer is responsible for confirming installation readiness and completing these steps: 1. Assure the following steps are complete: a. b. c. 2. Verify the receipt of quantities and contents listed on packing/shipping list found in Box 1. a. b. 3. Required software is installed and configured. Gateways are installed and powered on.
Subfloor EZ Node Hardware Installation Guide Version 1.0 Installing the Subfloor EZ Node This section provides the steps for installing Subfloor EZ Nodes. After installing the Subfloor EZ Nodes, see Validating and Commissioning the Subfloor EZ Node Installation to validate the installation and commission pressure nodes. See Inspecting the Installation to complete the installation. In all configurations, hose lengths should not be excessive (short or long) and routing should be smooth.
Subfloor EZ Node Hardware Installation Guide Version 1.0 Cabinet and Subfloor Installation Perform the following steps for a standard installation of a Subfloor EZ Node behind a cabinet. Note: If an external low-pressure hose is requested, you will need to remove the U-turn and install the low-pressure hose on the center barb. 1. Prepare and route the diffuser hose. a. b. c. Determine Subfloor EZ Node location (behind cabinet). Determine necessary length for the highpressure hose.
Subfloor EZ Node Hardware Installation Guide Version 1.0 b. c. 3. pressing the ON/OFF button on the light pipe once. Ensure the Subfloor EZ Node is active. The light pipe will display as green when the node is activated. Make sure the area where the Subfloor EZ Node will reside is clean and free of debris. Finalize hose routing, replace tiling, and clean area. a. b. Remove tools and debris from cabinet and subfloor areas. Replace tile over subfloor cavity.
Subfloor EZ Node Hardware Installation Guide Version 1.0 Validating and Commissioning the Subfloor EZ Node Installation Validate and commission the Subfloor EZ Node installation by activating the Subfloor EZ Node and confirming node communication with the SynapSense Web Console software application. Refer to the Web Console User Guide for detailed information.
Subfloor EZ Node Hardware Installation Guide Version 1.0 Subfloor EZ Node LED Status Lights A light pipe located on the front of the Subfloor EZ Node provides a means to turn the unit on and off and to provide status. To power the unit on, push and hold the button for more than 1 second. The light pipe toggles between white and magenta. As the unit is connecting to the network, the light pipe will display as follows: When the unit is looking for the network, it blinks red every 2 seconds.
Subfloor EZ Node Hardware Installation Guide Version 1.0 Inspecting the Installation Inspect the installation to ensure appropriate sensor placement and a clean installation area. 1. Verify sensor placement. 2. All node and diffuser installations are positioned consistently Diffuser placement in the subfloor Cable ties and clips do not interfere with fans or bind or rub against surfaces Clear the installation area.
Subfloor EZ Node Hardware Installation Guide Version 1.0 Appendix A – Maintenance In this appendix: This appendix describes maintenance activities necessary for optimum operation of Subfloor EZ Nodes. Battery Replacement The Subfloor EZ Node module comes from the factory with two pre-installed AA-size Lithium/Iron batteries under a removable plastic cover plate. Follow these steps to change module batteries: 1. Turn the Subfloor EZ Node off by pressing the light pipe button once for more than 3 seconds.
Subfloor EZ Node Hardware Installation Guide Version 1.0 3. Peel and remove the hose from the inlet connection. 4. Clean any debris from the inlet. 5. Attach new diffuser hose.
