1.1 Safety and EMC Considerations Refer to the CE Approvals Section.

EMC Considerations

• Whenever EMC is an issue, always use shielded cables.

• Never run signal and power wires in the same conduit.

• Use twisted-pair wires for signal connections.

• Install Ferrite Bead(s) on signal wires close to the instrument if EMC problems persist.

Failure to follow all instructions and warnings may result in injury!

1.3 Description

Web-based Remote Surveillance of Temperature and Security

The iSE environmental monitor provides Web-based remote surveillance of environmental conditions in critical HVAC applications such as computer server rooms, clean rooms, laboratories, museums, warehouses, or any remote facility. View and record Temperature on two independent thermocouple channels, over an Ethernet network or the Internet with no special software—just a Web browser.

EMAIL ALARMS -- The device can trigger an alarm if temperature goes above or below a set point 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.

PHYSICAL THREATS -- The iSE includes screw terminals for two contact closures that work with common alarm sensors. You can instruct the iSE monitor to send an alarm if a door is opened, a window is broken, or a fire sprinkler goes off.

POWER FAILURE -- The iSE monitor can trigger an alarm if the AC power fails. The iSE monitor will continue to collect data for ten days powered by a standard 9 Volt alkaline battery (included). The data is stored in nonvolatile flash memory and can later be downloaded over the Ethernet.
