How to Plan the Installation

Introduction

This documentation is designed specifically for installation technicians, installing the hardware for Treon’s condition monitoring solution on-site.

Treon Connect Workflow

Treon Connect is a condition monitoring platform that collects data from sensors, making it easy for businesses to monitor equipment and improve maintenance.

You install the Treon Gateways 2 in Protective Enclosure near the assets and Treon Industrial Node C sensor on the physical assets.

The sensors send the collected monitoring data to the Gateway via Bluetooth.

The Gateway forwards the data to the cloud backend via its network connection.

The monitoring data is visible in the Treon Connect Web application. There reports and alerts can be set up for easy monitoring and maintenance of the assets.

Installation process

Please notice that you need an active Treon Connect account for the installation and commissioning process. You account needs access to the assets you are equipping with Treon Industrial Node C sensors.

Read more on activating your Treon Connect account and downloading the Treon Connect Mobile app.

1. Plan the Layout

Gateway Positioning
Treon Industrial Node C sensors communicate via Bluetooth with Treon Gateways.

The recommended distance between a Node C and its nearest Treon Gateway is about 10 meters, with a maximum of 15 meters under ideal conditions.

Environmental factors such as walls, metal structures, and other blocking elements can reduce the effective range.

Position Treon Gateways strategically to maintain connectivity for all sensors.

Power Requirements
Each Gateway requires an electrical outlet. Ensure that the planned locations have accessible power sources and allow easy physical access for installation and maintenance.

2. Prepare the Treon Products

Before installing any hardware, verify that the Treon Gateway 2 in Protective Enclosure has a stable network connectivity. This ensures that Gateways can communicate with the Treon Connect platform without interruptions.

Make sure you have the right amount of Treon Industrial Node C sensors and the right glue for the installation method needed for your assets.

3. Create an Asset List

After finalizing the positions of all Treon products, prepare a detailed asset list for the installation site.

Share this list with the IT administrator responsible for the Treon Connect platform. The IT admin will create these assets in Treon Connect before commissioning.

If you are creating the assets in Treon Connect yourself, read our article on Asset creation.

4. Mount Gateways

Mount the Treon Gateway 2 in Protective Enclosure as per our installation guide.

Power up all Gateways after installation at the planned positions. This ensures that in step 6 all Treon Industrial Node C can connect to their Gateway quickly after commissioning.
 

5. Mount Node C Sensors

Install all Treon Industrial Node C sensors on your assets as per our installation guide.

Make sure the sensors are installed correctly to ensure the monitoring data is accurate.

6. Commission Sensors

Commission the mounted sensors with your Treon Connect Mobile app to attach them to an Asset in Treon Connect as per our guide.

7. Verify data flow

At last, confirm that data from all sensors is visible in Treon Connect.

Please not that it can take up to 3 hours for individual Treon Industrial Node C sensors to deliver data after commissioning.
