Installation Instructions
Receiving the Shipment
1. If this is your first time setting up the Elemental Machines system, you will receive an email for your dashboard account verification. Save this email for when the devices arrive.
2. When devices are shipped, they will be added to your Elemental Insights Dashboard™ with default names. When you first log in you will see all your devices with a 'disconnected' status.
3. When devices arrive, carefully remove the contents from the packaging. If any of the contents look damaged, please send a picture to help@elementalmachines.com.
4. If you have ordered multiple Element-B’s, ensure the Element-B being used is configured as Normally Closed (NC). This can be verified by checking the device label, the dashboard under ‘Machine Model’, or the packing list sent with your shipment.
a. Element-B’s can either be configured as Normally Closed (NC) or Normally Open (NO) by our team here at Elemental Machines. Different assets require different configurations. If you have ordered Element-B’s for multiple assets, you may have a mix and need to be aware of attaching the correctly configured device to the correct asset.
5. Ensure there is an Elemental Machines Gateway set up in the vicinity of the Element-B.
a. Note: ‘Vicinity’ is within wireless connection range. This is usually up to 30 meters but can depend on the lab’s layout.
Attaching Connection Cable to Concoa Advantium 2 Manifold Alarm
6. Unplug the power cable from the Concoa Advantium 2 Manifold Alarm Box.
7. Open the manifold alarm by unscrewing the four screws (shown in Figure 1 below) on the back of the box.

8. Confirm that the jumpers J2 and J4 on the lower right side of the box are configured to Normally Closed (NC). That means that the jumper must be placed over the top two pins as shown in Figure 3.

Figure 3 Jumpers configured for NC by placing over the top two pins for J2 and J4
9. Locate SW2 (red box) on the left side of the box, shown in Figure 4.
10. Configure the position of the Switches is as follows:
a. Switch 1: Down (for immediate alarm, preferred, but may be positioned Up for a delayed alarm)
b. Switch 2: Down (⚠ This is mandatory. Otherwise, the alarms will not function properly)
c. Switch 3: Up (audible) or down (silent) depending on whether or not you would like the alarm to be audible

11. Replace the back cover on the manifold.
12. Connect the connector end of the connection cable to the Output port (4-pin) of the
Manifold Alarm box, shown in Figure 5.

Attaching Connection Cable to Element
13. Per your discretion, write the name and/or location of the equipment being monitored on the Element-B's. This can be particularly helpful if multiple devices are being installed. Use of a Sharpie is recommended.
14. Connect the Element-B’s to the two thermocouple connectors of the Element-B connection cable (Figure 6). Either thermocouple connector can be connected to either Element-B; red wire receives data from Left Inlet Alarm, green wire receives data from Right Inlet Alarm.
a. Note Ensure the (-) and (+) prongs of the thermocouple end are properly matched.

15. Pull the battery tab on the Element-B's.
Positioning the Element-B
16. Determine where the Element-B should be placed so that it is not blocked, which allows a better wireless connection, and so that the connection cable is tidy.
17. Securely position the Element-B in the chosen location. The Element-B has magnets which make it easily mountable to magnetic surfaces.
a. Note: If applicable, an adhesive metal mounting plate available from EM may be used.
Programming Alerts
18. Program alerts on the Concoa Advantium 2 Manifold Alarm. Refer to the Concoa Advantium 2 Manifold Alarm user manual for which alarm conditions the manifold can detect and how to set up alerts.
19. Set up alert rules on the Elemental Insights Dashboard™ for the Element-B. Guidance on how to do so is available in the Support section of the dashboard.
NOTE: Alerts must be programmed on both the asset and the Elemental Insights Dashboard™ to receive remote alerts through the Elemental Machines platform.
