MAINTENANCE FUNCTIONS
SKF Enlight Collect gateway
SKF Enlight Collect IMx-1 System
User Manual
Revision A
51 (84)
4.1.3 Sensor maintenance
The IMx-1 hardware is maintenance free, non-repairable and users must not attempt
to open the device. Firmware updates are available OTA, from @ptitude Observer
software.
4.1.4 Sensor performance over time
No significant performance degradation over time is expected, until the integral
battery has reached the end of its life. Good practice is to be aware of the estimated
remaining battery life, investigate any apparently anomalous readings or status errors
and when needed initiate a sensor exchange.
4.2 SKF Enlight Collect gateway
4.2.1 Updating firmware
Gateway firmware is stored in @ptitude Observer and the process for updating
firmware is as follows:
• First, be aware of whether the target gateway is using Standard or Alternative
firmware. Check this at IMx-1 System View > Gateway properties.
• Go to On-line > Firmware > “Enlight Collect firmware installed in the
database” and select the Standard or Alternative tab.
• To add new gateway firmware, click the appropriate ‘Add’ button and select
and open the gateway firmware package/zip. The firmware file will be
imported/added to @ptitude Observer.
• Once added, the firmware will be automatically downloaded to connected
gateways. If required this download process can also be initiated manually:
return to the IMx-1 System View and select the target gateway. Verify the
Connection State is ‘Connected’, and press Synchronize.
The gateway will check the compatibility and integrity of the firmware package before
implementation to avoid loading a non-functional firmware. Note that firmware update
will take the gateway offline for a few minutes maximum.
When the process is complete the gateway firmware version reported in @ptitude
Observer will update. Note that on cloud-based systems, the transfer of the gateway
firmware may take some time to complete.
For OTA gateway firmware updates from @ptitude Observer, the gateway must be
commissioned.
