1.1 Safety and EMC Considerations
Refer to the Environment/Operating Conditions 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!
1.2 Before You Begin
Inspecting Your Shipment: Remove the packing slip and verify that you have received
everything listed. Inspect the container and equipment for signs of damage as soon as
you receive the shipment. Note any evidence of rough handling in transit. Immediately
report any damage to the shipping agent. The carrier will not honor damage claims
unless all shipping material is saved for inspection. After examining and removing the
contents, save the packing material and carton in the event reshipment is necessary.
Customer Service: If you need assistance, please contact the Customer Service
Department nearest you.
Manuals, Software: The latest Operation Manual as well as free configuration software
(iConnect), data-logging software (iLog) and Mail Notifier are available at the website
listed on the cover page of this manual or on the CD-ROM enclosed with your
shipment.
1.3 Description
The zSeries wireless sensor system provides Web-based monitoring of Temperature,
Humidity, and Barometric Pressure in critical HVAC and Refrigeration applications.
The compact wireless “End Devices” mount discretely on the wall in clean rooms,
laboratories, museums, computer server rooms, warehouses, and any remote facility.
The wireless End Devices are powered by two AA 1.5 volt alkaline batteries.
The End Devices transmit up to 300 feet (without obstructions or interference) to a
“Coordinator” connected directly to an Ethernet network and the Internet. The wireless
system complies with IEEE 802.15.4 operating at 2.4GHz.
The zSeries system allows you to monitor and record Temperature, Relative Humidity,
and Barometric Pressure over an Ethernet network or the Internet without any special
software-just your Web Browser.
We offer a selection of End Devices for a variety of applications. Each End Device
supports one or two sensors. End Devices are available with built-in sensors, with
external sensor probes, and with both built-in and external sensors. The external sensors
are designed for harsh environments such as outdoor weather, in HVAC ducts, in
freezers and refrigerators.
