Geist Policy on Conflict Minerals

This document details Geist’s corporate policy regarding the use of conflict minerals. The policy expressed in this document should be considered to cover the Geist and Geist Europe divisions of PCE Inc.

GM1118 Watchdog 100 Instruction Manual

Introduction 5

Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Act which was passed by the US Congress in 2010 requires certain companies to annually disclose their use of conflict minerals. Conflict minerals covered under this act include tantalum, tin, tungsten, and gold.

Although Geist is not directly subjected to the requirements of the DoddFrank Act, Geist recognizes that all companies within the electronics manufacturing industry supply chain are impacted by this legislation. Geist supports the intent of the law, which is the reduction of violence within the Democratic Republic of the Congo and will take several actions to both advance the goals of the Dodd-Frank Act and to provide exceptional support to our customers.

· Geist will work with our direct suppliers to identify purchased components and materials that contain tin, tantalum, tungsten or gold.

· Geist will work with our direct suppliers to trace sources of any tin, tantalum, tungsten or gold used in our products back to the smelter.

· Geist will document our efforts to trace tin, tantalum, tungsten, and gold minerals back to the smelter and will accurately report the results to our customers.

· Geist will continue to monitor industry progress in identifying conflict-free smelters and will adjust corporate policy as the electronics supply chain becomes more fully documented.

Geist will not require that our direct suppliers source only conflict-free minerals until an adequate number of smelters has been reliably identified and audited by The Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition (EICC) and the Global e-Sustainability Initiative (GeSI) to service the electronic industry supply chain. Mandating a conflict-free supply chain before an adequate number of smelters has been identified will prohibit the use of all tin, tantalum, tungsten, and gold originating in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and surrounding countries. This prohibition would cut off the sole income source for many artisanal miners within the region and may result in increased violence within the Democratic Republic of the Congo in direct opposition to the goals of the Dodd-Frank Act. Geist will work continuously with our direct suppliers in order to annually increase the percentage of documented conflict-free minerals that are used in our products until all products can be certified as conflict-free.

Product Specifications

Overview

The Watchdog 100 provides remote environmental monitoring and alarming capability needed to detect climate conditions in critical environments. The Watchdog 100 has a built-in sensor to monitor temperature, humidity and dew point, as well as two ports for adding remote sensors. The Watchdog 100 also has four I/O ports for connecting additional external 5Vdc sensors such as Flood and Door Sensors. Additionally, the Watchdog 100 provides one output relay that can be operated remotely or set to automatically open or close based on alarm conditions. The Watchdog 100 supports Power-Over-Ethernet (PoE).

All internal and external sensors are measured every 5 seconds. Sensor data collected by Watchdog 100 units provides useful trend analysis data. While all values are not absolute in relation to a known unit, trend analysis of the data allows users to view changes and draw useful conclusions about what is happening over time in the monitored environment.

Figure 1-1 Watchdog 100

Onboard Sensors

Watchdog 100 contains the following onboard sensors:

· Temperature: Measures temperature and can be displayed in °C or °F. The

accuracy is ±0.5 °C from -20 °C to 80 °C.

GM1118 Watchdog 100 Instruction Manual

Chapter 1 - Product Specifications 13

NOTE

This sensor may be heated by internal circuitry in the unit; a temperature offset is available to re-calibrate.

· Humidity: Measures the percent of water vapor in the air within +/- 2% accuracy

within a range from 20% to 80%.

· Dew Point: The atmospheric temperature, based on pressure and humidity,

below which moisture in the air begins to condense and form dew.

· AI1: Scales 0 to 5 Vdc input to 0-99, dry contacts may be used.

· AI2: Scales 0 to 5 Vdc input to 0-99, dry contacts may be used.

· AI3: Scales 0 to 5 Vdc input to 0-99, dry contacts may be used.

· AI4: Scales 0 to 5 Vdc input to 0-99, dry contacts may be used.

Figure 1-2 Watchdog 100-P

Analog I/O Sensors

The Watchdog 100 units come equipped with four Analog I/O ports for connecting additional external sensors such as Flood and Door Sensors. The four ports are designed to accept a 0-5 Vdc analog input; alternatively, an internal 100K pull up resistor to 5 V allows for the use of dry contacts. The Analog I/O port input is converted to a digital number ranging from 0 to 99 and is displayed on the Sensors page. Unused I/O ports will display a value of 99. This range can be adjusted on the display page allowing the user to modify the value to make it more meaningful to the user.

Flood sensors act as conductivity bridges. Moisture across the contacts causes the value to drop. Door switches can be wired in a serial connection; if the chain is broken the entire group is classified as open. The limiting factor on the I/O ports is the length of the wire, found to be around 400 feet.

Remote Sensors

NOTE

Sensors use Cat. 3 wire and RJ12 connectors. Wiring must be straight-through: reverse polarity will temporarily disable all sensors until corrected. Sensors use a serial communication protocol and are subject to network signaling constraints dependent on shielding, environmental noise, and length of wire. Typical installations allow runs of up to 600 feet of sensor wire.

Available Remote Sensors

· SRT: Stainless Remote Temperature

· GTHD: Temperature / Humidity / Dew Point

· GT3HD: Temperature / Humidity / Dew Point with ability to add two RT sensors

· RTAFHD3: Temperature / Air Flow / Humidity / Dew Point

· A2D: Converts analog I/O Sensors to Remote Digital Sensors

RTAFHD3 Compatibility

The (G)RTAFHD3 sensor cannot be utilized in combination with the discontinued (G)RTAF and (G)RTAFH sensors or (G)RTHD sensors built prior to

2010. If you desire to add (G)RTAFHD3 sensors to an existing installation currently utilizing incompatible sensors, please contact Customer Service for installation options. (G) indicates Global Sensor variants that may be used outside of the US.

Chapter 1 - Product Specifications 15

Connecting Remote Sensors

Plug-and-play remote sensors may be attached to the unit at any time via the RJ-12 connectors on the face of the unit. In some cases splitters may be

required to add additional sensors. Each sensor has a unique serial number and is automatically discovered and added to the web page. Up to four sensors may be connected to the Watchdog 100.

The display order of the sensors on the web page is determined by the serial number of each sensor. Friendly names for each sensor can be customized on the Sensors Overview page.
