The software allows you to back up the device configuration, as well as to make recovery and reset to the factory settings.
The software allows you to backup the settings of the monitoring unit in a file, as well as restore the backup settings and reset them by default.
Backup settings to a file
To back up the current settings to a file on your computer, go to System menu-> Export and run Download current settings
Please note that before you back up the sensor settings, you must save them using the Save to Flash button in the upper right corner
Since v. 2.7.1 is available selective backup settings to a file.
The selective backup configuration file can be used for mass deployment of monitoring units on a facility when it is expected to use multiple units with identical settings. One monitoring system is set up first after which the settings of this system are necessary to back up. Further backup settings are restored on other systems, and different parameters are set manually.
Backup settings
To back up the current settings to a file, in the System interface go to tab -> "System menu" -> "Export" and push-button "OK" for "Download current settings"
Please note that before the operation it is necessary to save sensor settings. Push "Save to Flash" in the upper right corner!

Import settings file
To update sensor configuration from a saved copy go to "System menu" >> "Firmware" tab >> "Upload source" >> "From local filesystem" >> "Choose file" >> "settings.vut".
Reset settings
To restore settings please go here like a software upgrade.
Reset to default values
The following ways are possible:
1) with a special firmware
This possibility exists in all versions. Factory data reset is carried out using special firmware that can be downloaded from the drivers as the Settings Recovery Tools.
Reset features to factory settings:
full reset;
network settings reset;
user password reset;
Reset firmware installed in the same way as a usual software upgrade.
2) in a Web interface:
Starting with version 2.5.0 reset is also possible via the web interface. Go to the tab "System menu" ->About and push tab "OK" for "Reset settings to default values"
Possible options:
for sensors - reset sensors (elements) only;
for all - resets all to factory settings;
3) using a switch "Recovery" on the rear panel.
From version 2.5.1 and higher added the ability to return factory settings using a switch NORMAL / RECOVERY.
To return to factory settings, set the switch NORMAL / RECOVERY in the "RECOVERY" position for a time of 5 to 30 seconds.
In 5 s after turning this switch to the "RECOVERY" position, the "ERROR" LED on the front panel lights up. Now return the switch NORMAL / RECOVERY in the "NORMAL" position. The system restored the factory settings and then rebooted.
If till 30 seconds after the ERROR LED lights up switch was not set to NORMAL, then the system will assume that the switch is set to "RECOVERY" by mistake. In this case, the LED starts to flash at a frequency of once per second, recalling this abnormal position of the switch. and even if the switch is set to "NORMAL", the light goes out, but the restoration of the configuration and reboot do not occur.
If the switch stays in "RECOVERY" for less than 5 seconds (before the LED lights up), the settings reset, and a restart will not be made.
