Alarm limits
For each measurement channel is possible to set upper and lower limits, time-delay for
alarm activation (0 – 65535s) and hysteresis for alarm clearing.
Example of setting the limit to the upper alarm limit:
In Point 1 the temperature exceeded the limit. From this time, the time-delay is counting.
Because at point 2 the temperature dropped below the limit value before the time delay
expired, alarm was not set.
In Point 3 the temperature has risen over limit again. During the time-delay the value does
not drop below the set limit, and therefore was in Point 4 caused alarm. At this moment
were sent e-mails, traps and set alarm flag on website, SNMP and Modbus.
The alarm lasted up to Point 5, when the temperature dropped below the set hysteresis
(temperature limit – hysteresis). At this moment was active alarm cleared and e-mail send.
When alarm occurs, alarm messages will be sent. In case of power failure or device reset
(e.g. changing the configuration) will new alarm state evaluated and new alarm messages
will be send.

Channels
Channel can be enabled or disabled for measuring using item Enabled. Channel can be
renamed (max. 14 characters) and it is possible select unit of measured value according
connected probe type. When channel is not used, it is possible copy to it one of other
channels – option Clone channel. This option is not available at fully occupied device.
Find sensors button starts searching for connected probes. All changes must be
confirmed using Apply settings button. History values are cleared after changing of
channel settings.
SOAP protocol
SOAP protocol can be enabled by option SOAP protocol enabled. IP address of the
destination http server is configurable via SOAP server IP address filed. For setup of
destination server port can be used option SOAP server port. Target place of the http
server can be set via SOAP server target place. Device send SOAP message according
selected Sending interval. Option Send SOAP message when alarm occurs sends
message when an alarm on channel occurs or alarm is cleared. These SOAP messages are
sent asynchronously to selected interval.

Time
Time synchronization with SNTP server can be enabled by Time synchronization
enabled option. IP address of the SNTP is necessary to set into SNTP server IP address
item. SNTP time is synchronized at UTC format, and due to be necessary set
corresponding time offset - GSM offset [min]. Time is synchronized every 24 hours by
default. Option NTP synchronization every hour decrease this synchronization interval
to one hour.
WWW and security
Security features can be enabled by the Security enabled option. When security is enabled
it is necessary to set administrator password. This password will be required for device
settings. When secured access is required even to actual values reading it is possible to
enable User account only for viewing. Port of the www server can be changed from the
default value 80 using filed WWW port. Web pages with actual values are refreshed
according to Web refresh interval field.

Setup using TSensor software
TSensor software is an alternative to web configuration. Some less important parameters
are configurable only by the TSensor software.
Parameter MTU size can reduce size of the Ethernet frame. Lowering of this size can
solve some communication problems mainly with Cisco network infrastructure. Sensor
software can set offset of values at temperature probes. At DSRH humidity probe is
possible set correction of the humidity and temperature.
Factory defaults
Factory defaults button set the device into factory configuration. Network parameters (IP
address, Subnet mask, Gateway) are left without changes.
Network parameters are changed while you close jumper inside the device. After jumper
closing it is necessary connect power supply. Factory defaults have no effect to user
correction inside probe.

Communication protocols
Short introduction to communication protocols of the device. To use some
communication protocols is necessary software, which can use the protocol. This
software is not included. Detailed description of protocols and application notes
can be found in the manual appendix.
Website
The device supports displaying of measured values, history graphs and configuration using
web browser. History graphs are based on HTML5 canvas. Web browser must support this
feature for proper function of graphs. Firefox, Opera, Chrome or Internet Explorer 9 can
be used. If the device has IP address 192.168.1.213 type into your browser
http://192.168.1.213. Using TSensor software or web interface can be set automatic
webpages refresh in interval. The default value is 10sec. Actual measured values can be
obtained using XML file values.xml.
Values from history can be exported in CSV format. History storage interval can be set
using TSensor software or web interface. History is erased after every reboot of the device.
Reboot of the device is performed when the power supply is disconnected and also after
configuration change.
The device allows you to customize the design of web pages. Details of how to change the
design, you can find in the manual appendix. Manual appendix can be obtained from the
manufacturer’s website.
SMTP – sending e-mails
When measured values are over the set limits, the device allows send e-mail to a maximum
of 3 addresses. E-mail is send when alarm condition on the channel is cleared or a
measuring error occurs. It is possible to set repeat interval for email sending. For correct
sending of e-mails it is necessary to set IP address of SMTP server. SMTP authentication is
supported but SSL not. Standard SMTP port 25 is used by default. SMTP port can be
changed. Contact your network administrator to obtain configuration parameters of your
SMTP server. E-mail sent by the device can not be answered.

SNTP
The device allows time synchronization with NTP (SNTP) server. SNMP protocol version
3.0 is supported (RFC1305). Time synchronization is made every 24 hours. Time
synchronization every hour can be enabled. For time synchronization it is necessary set IP
address to the SNTP server. It is also possible set GMT offset for correct time zone. Time
is used in graphs and history CSV files. Maximum jitter between two time synchronization
is 90sec at 24 hours interval.

Troubleshooting
The chapter describes the common problems with P8510 Thermometer, P8511
and P8541 Transducer and methods how to fix these problems. Pleas read this
chapter before you will call technical support.
I forgot the device IP address
IP address is factory set to 192.168.1.213. If you had changed it and forgot new IP address,
run the TSensor software and press Find device... In the window are displayed all
available devices.
I can not connect to the device
In search window is only IP and MAC address displayed
Other details are marked N/A. This problem occurs if IP address of the device is set to
another network.
Select the window Find device in TSensor software and press Change IP address.
Follow the software instructions. To assign IP address automatically using DHCP server,
set the device IP address to 0.0.0.0.
Device IP address is not displayed in window Find device
In TSensor software menu press Help! My device was not found! in window Find
device. Follow the software instructions. MAC address of the device can be found on
product label.
The device is not found even after manually setting
MAC address
This problem occurs especially in cases when the IP address of the device belongs to
another network and also Subnet mask or Gateway are incorrect.
In this case is DHCP server in the network necessary. In TSensor software menu press
Help! My device was not found! in window Find device. As new IP address set 0.0.0.0.

Follow the software instructions. An alternative is to reset device to factory defaults using
factory-defaults jumper.
Error or n/a is displayed instead the
measured value
Value n/a is shown a shortly after device restart. If the error code or n/a is displayed
permanently, check if the probes are connected to device correctly. Make sure that probes
are not damaged and inside operating range. Than perform new search of probes using
TSensor software or web interface.
Error2 is displayed on all channels
instead the measured value
Error2 indicates short-circuit of measurement bus. Check if correct probes are connected.
Probes Pt100/Pt1000/Ni100/Ni1000 can not be used with this device. Make sure that
cables of probes are not damaged.
I forgot the password for setup
Please reset device to factory defaults. Procedure is described at following point.
Factory defaults
This procedure restore device to factory settings including network parameters (IP address,
Subnet mask, etc.). For factory-defaults follow these steps:
disconnect the power supply
unscrew upper cover of the device case
close the jumper and connect the power
keep jumper closed for 10sec then remove jumper
close the device
