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.

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 E nd Device supports one or two sensors. En d 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.
