INTRODUCTION
The Nova SPY is a device that measures several physical quantities (T/HR%/Lux depending on the model) and transmits the data wirelessly, by radio frequency (2.4GHz), to the JRI-MySirius monitoring software hosted on the JRI cloud or a client-server via a Nano Link, Relay/Alarm or Nanocell.
The Nova SPY complies with EN 12830 only with temperature sensors and is compatible with EN 13486, defining periodic verification procedures.

FCC ID: W45 12525
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause harmful interference.
(2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation
By FCC requirements, any changes or modifications not expressly approved by JRI could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment.
NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, under Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used by the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.
Do not use the device under conditions other than those described in the
technical specifications (risk of fire or explosion).
For uses other than those mentioned, please contact JRI.
INSTALLATION RECOMMENDATIONS
To ensure optimum radio transmission, several recommendations must be followed, as all wireless transmissions are subject to interference.
Sources of disturbance or attenuation
- The presence of obstacles in the wave path between the Nova SPY and the LINK (wall, furniture, people…) or near the antenna.
- The thickness of an obstacle in the wave path. The attenuation is greater diagonally than perpendicularly.
- A solid metal wall will not allow radio transmission. A perforated metal wall will allow waves to pass while attenuating them.
Positioning
- Nova SPYs can be placed either inside or outside the speakers.
- For installations outside enclosures, prioritize the top of the walls to avoid obstacles and the passage of people.
- If possible, position the LINK centrally about the measurement points.
- Try to position them preferably within view.
- You can use RELAY/ALARMS (repeaters) or connect another LINK to improve radio coverage.
To ensure your safety during installation or intervention on a device placed in a high position, use proper equipment that is in good condition and provides adequate stability, wear appropriate, non-slip shoes, and install warning signs around the work area if the intervention takes place in an area of foot traffic.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Control unit
Mounting
Nova SPYs can be attached in 4 different ways
- Using a tie wrap to attach it to the monitored product
- Magnetically : Nova SPYs feature an internal magnet for attachment to magnetic metal walls. A protective shell with a magnetic base is available as an option (Part nbr: 13735).
- For example, use a clip to attach them to the grids of a positive enclosure. This option allows them to be as close as possible to the products to be monitored and facilitates maintenance operations. A protective shell with a magnetic base and clip is available as an option.
- With a caliper for insertion into a chest-type freezer with an opening at the top. This option facilitates maintenance operations while guaranteeing an optimum position for temperature measurement. A protective shell with a magnetic base and bracket is an option.
OPERATION
The Nova SPYs can only be used with JRI-MySirius monitoring software hosted on the JRI cloud or a client-server via a Nano Link, Relay/Alarm, or Nanocell. For Nova SPY configuration, please refer to the MySirius online help.
-
Stop
As delivered, the Nova SPY is turned off. It can neither emit nor receive signals. -
Activation Once the battery is inserted, the device is activated after three seconds. Once activated, the Nova SPY automatically declares itself in MySirius if it is in contact with a Link. It starts measuring and transmitting its readings to MySirius as it goes along, then flashes regularly according to its status.
-
Turning Off (Only possible if the device is not registered in MySirius) Once the device has been declared in MySirius, the touch button shutdown function is deactivated to prevent “accidental” shutdowns when handling the device. However, this option can always be re-enabled in MySirius to switch off the Nova SPY device using the touch button.
-
Actions on the touch button
Using active, corrosive, or flammable products or solutions (e.g. acid or petroleum) on JRI equipment is prohibited. JRI equipment is designed to map and monitor the temperature and humidity of thermal or climatic enclosures within the limits described in their data sheets. For maintenance of these devices, please refer to the dedicated section. For uses other than those mentioned, please contact JRI.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
-
Removing the battery
Open the battery door 1 with a suitable object (Phillips screwdriver), and remove the screw 2. Remove the battery door seal 3. Remove the battery 4 from its lodging. -
Replacing the battery
Put the new battery 2 in place respecting the polarity ❺, replace the battery door seal & the battery door. Confirmation that the new battery has been detected is given by the activation of the red LED for a few seconds. The device restarts automatically when the LED goes out.
KEEP THE BATTERY AWAY FROM FIRE, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO RECHARGE IT OR SHORT- CIRCUIT IT THE BATTERY MUST BE A LITHIUM 3.6V TYPE OF BATTERY. USE PREFERABLY THE BATTERIES* SUPPLIED BY JRI (REF: 12761)
Recommended batteries: Saft LS17500 type A 3.6V|3.6Ah
MAINTENANCE
Clean the unit with a soft, dry cloth, or one slightly dampened with water. To remove stubborn dust, use a cloth impregnated with a diluted, non-abrasive detergent. Then wipe thoroughly with a soft, dry cloth. Never use benzene, thinner, alcohol, or solvents of any kind, which may cause discoloration or deformation of surfaces.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
JRI recommends that its customers dispose of unusable and/or irreparable
measuring or recording equipment in an environmentally sound manner. Insofar
as the production of waste cannot be avoided, it should be reused using the
recycling process best suited to the materials in question and to the
protection of the environment.
RoHS Directive
The European RoHS Directive regulates and limits the presence of hazardous
substances in electronic and electrical equipment (EEE). Article 2 of this
Directive excludes “Monitoring and control instruments”, which include the
products manufactured by JRI. Nevertheless, JRI has decided to apply all the
provisions of this Directive to its new electronic products, which will comply
with the above mentioned Directive 2002/95/EC.
Recycling: To avoid any risk of explosion, please do not dispose of the Nova SPY in the garbage, do not burn it and avoid crushing it. Please follow these safety instructions carefully.
FAQ
Q: What should I do if the device is not transmitting data?
