2 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The wireless transmitter series EE240 combines modern sensor technology, easiest system installation and the highest reliability of the data transmission. The several different modules of the series EE240 are within a short time operational.
2.1 Wireless Network
2.1.1 General
The series EE240, based on the “ZigBee” protocol, transmits at a frequency of 2.4 GHz with a power of
6,3 mW. A bi-directional wireless connection prevents loss of data, if disturbances may occur. The maximum transmission distance depends greatly on the local conditions. Obstacles, like walls of reinforced concrete, steel buildings, or structures attenuate the signal and decreases the transmission distance.

2.1.2 Installation of a wireless system
In principle, in an ideal situation, the transmitter and the router resp. the base station should be within ‘eyesight’ to achieve an optimal strength of the signal. If that is not possible, a more appropriate location can be found using the features of the base station EE242, with the support of an amplifying router. The changes of the strength of the transmitter signal are indicated in a percentage (%), by the signal indica­tor on the web server of the EE242.
If obstacles interfere with radio communication between the transmitter and the base station, routers can be used to circumvent these obstacles and extend the distance between the transmitter and base station. A "series connection" of routers is possible without any problems.
Optimal positioning of a router:
• To reduce cost several different transmitters can be channeled over one router.
• The router should always be aligned with the weakest transmission connection.
• A maximum of 10 wireless connections per router / base station; see outline 2.1.3.

2.2.1 Sensing Probe
TRANSMITTER
(max. 500 pcs)
ROUTER
(max. 60 pcs)
BASE STATION
There are several different sensing probes available, for the measurement of temperature, relative humidity, and carbon dioxide (CO2). Each sensing probe has its calibration data stored internally, is therefore 100% interchangeable, and can be installed remotely with a sensor cable at up to 10m (33ft). For a detailed technical description, see chapter 3.2.
2.2.2 Transmitter
The transmitter powers the sensing probe and transmits wirelessly the measurement data. Each trans­mitter can be equipped with a maximum of three sensing probes. For a detailed technical description, see chapter 3.2.

Operating manual Series EE240 Wireless sensor
2.2.3 Router
The router is designed to increase the overall transmission distance and to bypass obstacles. Each router has the ability to receive and transmit a maximum of 10 signals (transmitter or another router). It is not possible to connect measuring probes to a router. For a detailed technical description, see chapter 3.3 Router
2.2.4 Basis Station
The base station processes the data of the sensing probe and output an analogue or digital signal. Each base station has four analogue outputs and a (optional) display. The base station of the series E240 provides the most recent measurement readings via Modbus (ASCII, RTU, TCP), JSON and four analogue outputs. For a detailed technical description, see chapter 3.1 Base Station.
3 FUNCTION DESCRIPTION / INSTALLATION
3.1 Base Station
With the EE242 base station a comprehensive wireless network can be build. The network can consist out of 500 transmitters and 50 routers. Each base station can receive a maximum of 10 signals (router or transmitter) The Ethernet interface, Modbus and Webserver allow for easy conguration of the system as well an easy integration in existing networks.
3.1.1 Installation
The housing can be installed on DIN-rail. To remove from the rail, both orange snap locks can be opened with the use of a screwdriver.

3.1.4 Webserver
The EE242 can be set up with any desired conguration by means of the webserver; as a result one
has full control of the entire network. The base station of the series E240 provides the most recent measurement readings via Modbus (ASCII, RTU, TCP), JSON and four analogue outputs.
For a detailed technical description, see chapter „Conguration Software“.
3.1.5 Network Reset
To reset the system to the default factory settings, the push-button “Connect” should be pressed for 10 seconds. All wireless connections (with transmitters and routers) will be cancelled.
All settings will reset to the default factory settings:
IP address of the base station, password of the web server, etc.
