1.3 Description (continued)

The wireless sensors transmit up to four hundred feet 400’ (approx. 120 meters--

without obstructions or interference) to a zSeries monitor-controller connected

directly to an Ethernet network and the Internet. The wireless system complies

with IEEE 802.15.4 operating at 2.4 GHz. The zSeries DIN Rail monitor and

controller can monitor up to eight (8) wireless sensors.

The wiDR also provides error detection mechanism for inactive communication

and diagnostic information including signal strength and data transmission

success rate to help troubleshooting potential wireless system installation issues.

The compact instrument connects directly to an Ethernet network and the Internet

and features award-winning embedded Web Server. It is easily configured and

monitored with a Web browser over the Ethernet network or the Internet.

MONITOR AND ALARM: The wiDR comes standard with dual outputs of either

Form C relays, SSR’s (solid state relays) or dc Pulses that can be used for

ON/OFF control functions or alarms.

The wiDR can monitor alarm conditions for any or all of the wireless sensors. For

example, the wiDR can be set up to trip an alarm if any one of the sensors

indicated that it was above or below a pre-set alarm point.

Analog output is fully scalable and may be configured as an ON/OFF controller or

re-transmission to follow your readings.

MONITOR AND CONTROL LOCALLY AND OVER THE INTERNET: The zSeries

wireless monitoring and control system provides local monitoring and control, along

with remote Web-based monitoring of temperature from thermocouples, RTD’s, and

infrared temperature sensors.

The zSeries system let’s you monitor and record temperature over an Ethernet

network or the Internet without any special software--just your Web Browser.

ETHERNET: The wiDR is an independent node on the network sending and

receiving data in standard TCP/IP packets. It is easily configured from a Web

Browser and can be password protected. From within an Ethernet LAN or over the

Internet, the user simply types the IP address (such as 192.168.1.200) or an easy

to remember name (such as "Oven 5" or "Fixture") and the zSeries monitor serves

a Web Page with the current readings.

EMAIL ALARM: The zSeries monitor-controller can trigger an alarm if variables go

above or below a Setpoint that you determine. Your alarm can be sent by email to a

single user or to a group distribution list, including text messages to cell phones and

PDA’s. The "Mail Notifier" software is a free and easy program for this application.

CHARTS AND GRAPHS: The zSeries system serves Active Web Pages to display

real time readings and charts of temperature. You can also log data in standard data

formats for use in a spreadsheet or data acquisition program such as Excel or Visual

Basic. We offer a free and easy to use program iLog for logging data to Excel.
