BLUE JAY MICO-RACE Wireless Temperature Monitor

User Manual: MICO-RACE Wireless Temperature Monitor

Product Information

The MICO-RACE wireless temperature monitor is a device that allows you to monitor temperature wirelessly. It comes with a  remote sensor, MRS, that should be installed within a distance of  100m outside or 20m inside a room without any electromagnetic  shielding layer. The device has an Ethernet port for TCP/IP communication and is available in two versions: standard MRR-E and advanced MRR-ED. The MRR-E requires a 6~34VDC power supply and comes with a 12VDC 1A adapter, while the MRR-ED supports DHCP function.

Product Usage Instructions

Before using the MICO-RACE wireless temperature monitor, it is important to read the user manual carefully and follow the instructions for correct guidance of operations. Here are some guidelines to follow:

  1. Ensure that the power supply for the MRR receiver is within the provisions of the instrument before turning on the power supply.
  2. Make sure that the MRR wiring is consistent with the label marked.
  3. Install the MRS remote sensor at a standard distance between the sensor and receiver without any electromagnetic shielding layer.
  4. Do not impose the communication port (RS232/RS485 or Ethernet) on high pressure.
  5. If commissioning on PC, use a series port (RS232/RS485) or serial port simulation tools for conversion.

For MRR-E, follow these additional instructions:

  1. Use an Ethernet connection for communication.
  2. Ensure that the MRR-E device body is in a cool and well-ventilated place as the Ethernet chip will emit some heat while working.
  3. Follow the step-by-step guide for initial configuration.

Please read the user manual carefully and save it for future reference. For any technical assistance, contact Blue Jay Technology by email at tech@cqbluejay.com or call at +0086-023-67628702.

Troubleshooting

Q: Why can’t I connect MRR-E or even cannot search MRR-E ?
A: please confirm you MRR-E and you host PC in same sub-section, and please allow the TCP port in & out your host PC 1500, 2317, 16254, 27011. if possible please close your firewall when do configuration.

Q: Why the MRS can automatically upload data, but I cannot read data from host actively ?
A: the MRS use IPEX connector to antenna, due to vibration the connector may lose, please open the MRS case to re-tightening the IPEX connector.

Q: I cannot connect to Blue Jay cloud server?
A: Blue Jay provide free cloud server for every client test, our engineers will be debug and update the cloud server program from time to time, please be patient and server can reopen in 24 hours. Any of your comment would be much appreciated.
