Getting started
First step to commission Glamox Connect is to set up your site information. Go to Settings → Site Settings.
Provide information for your site; Picture, name, location, responsible and more.
Some additional help is available in tooltip for some of the settings.
Next step is to get the devices imported from the local installation. This is done by the Glamox Connect team. Please send an email to glamoxconnect@glamox.com
This will soon be available as an admin feature, so the device search can be performed by site administrator
Device list
After initial import of devices, all your devices can be viewed in the device list. All information from local system that is not available to Glamox Connect (dependent on system) will be replaced by placeholders, i.e. given name.
Here you can also view details for the devices by clicking Detail page on the device.
From the detail page you can also edit the device to give name, wattage, floor, room and add integration to Glamox product database through article number.
Site layout
The quickest and easiest way to commission your devices is through the Site Layout (Site settings → Site Layout). Here you can add your floorplans, create rooms per floorplan and place your devices.
Floorplan
First add your floorplan(s). You can design the site layout as you want, either with floorplan as the entire site, a floor, selected rooms or even a single room. You can also rearrange the floorplans by drag and drop.
After adding a floorplan you will see a 3 step flow
Add floorplan image
Add rooms to floorplan
Place devices on floorplan image
For full use of the features in Glamox Connect we recommend that you add a floorplan image and create rooms and assign devices to both
Placing devices on floorplan
After adding the floorplan image and creating rooms for the floorplan, you move on to placing devices on floorplan.
On the left side you will see all the devices from your installation not yet placed on a floorplan. You can expand the device information to see helpful details and identify the device.
After identifying the device you can drag and drop the icon on to the drawing
After dropping the device on the floorplan you will get a commissioning help menu on the right side. Her you can add the device name, assign it to a room and select the Glamox article number.
To speed up your commissioning you can also check the box Copy from previous device to prefill room and article number. This is very helpful if you commission all devices room by room, article by article, or even better if you have same articles in same room.
Emergency settings
Final setup for your site is to set up your emergency light monitoring under Settings → Emergency lights.
Here you can group your emergency lights, set a test schedule for the groups as well scheduling reports to be sent on email.
Note: Only set the emergency groups and emergency schedule if you want to use Glamox Connect for emergency scheduling. If you use an other system for this, please skip these steps. Glamox Connect will still monitor the emergency devices and report it.
Test groups
In Glamox Connect you can organize you emergency devices in groups and see the groups in your floorplan(s). It is recommended that you organize the groups illogical in terms of physical location. This to avoid multiple devices in same location to be empty of battery after a duration test.
To generate initial group assignment for your emergency devices, press Generate at Settings → Emergency lights → Test groups. After initial assignment you can drag and drop the devices between the groups to create the best grouping for your installation.
You can view the groups in the floorplan by clicking on Floorplan
Test scheduling
After setting up the emergency groups, you can schedule when the emergency tests for the grouped
devices should run. Under Settings → Emergency lights → Test scheduling you can choose the intervals for functional- and duration tests, as well a start time for the schedule.
After pressing Generate Glamox Connect will create a schedule for the chosen values and present it. The schedule can be customized if you want to do changes on the generated schedule.
Scheduled reports
To schedule reports for your site, go to Settings → Emergency lights → Reports, add recipients and set a schedule. A condensed report with information for your site will be sent on email.
