iSD-TC, shown smaller

than actual size.

The OMEGA® iSD-TC provides
Web-based temperature
monitoring in critical
equipment and locations such
as computer server rooms, clean
rooms, laboratories, museums,
warehouses, or any remote facility.

View and record temperature on
two independent thermocouple
channels, over an Ethernet network
or the Internet with no special
software—just a Web browser.

Email Alarms

The device can trigger an alarm if
temperature goes above or below
a set point that you determine. Your
alarm can be sent by email to a
single user or to a group distribution
list, including text messages to cell
phones and PDA’s.

Physical Threats

The OMEGA iSD-TC includes screw
terminals for two contact closures
that work with common alarm
sensors. You can instruct the iSD
monitor to send an alarm if a door
is opened, a window is broken, or a
fire sprinkler goes off.

ordering information.

Power Failure

The iSD monitor can trigger an
alarm if the AC power fails. The
iSD-TC will continue to collect data
for two days powered by a standard
9 Volt alkaline battery (included). A
failure on the Ethernet network will
not interrupt data recording.

Local Alarms

The OMEGA iSD monitor includes
two 1.5 Amp output relays that are
controlled by the alarm conditions
you select. The relays can trigger
flashing lights and a siren for
example to alert personnel near the
scene.

With the easy Web-based setup
page, the two relays can be
programmed for two temperature
inputs, and high or low set points, as
well as alarm conditions triggered
by contact closures.

The relays can also be programmed
to turn off when conditions return to
normal, or programmed to remain
latched and require a manual reset.

Two Type K

thermocouples

included.

View Charts and Graphs
on the Web

The OMEGA iSD serves Active Web
Pages to display real time readings,
display charts of temperature, or log
data in standard data formats for use
in a spreadsheet or data acquisition
program such as Excel or Visual
Basic.

The virtual chart viewed on the
web page is a JAVA™ Applet
that records a chart over the LAN
or Internet in real time. With the
OMEGA iSD, there is no need to
invest time and money learning a
proprietary software program to log
or chart the data.

Chart scales are fully adjustable on
the fly. For example, the chart can
display one minute, one hour, one
day, one week, one month or one
year. Temperature can be charted
across the full span or within any
narrow range.

The iSD can display and chart
absolute measurements in
two locations and a differential
measurement between the two
locations.

The iSD can take thermocouple
types J, K, T, E, R, S, B, C, N, and
L measuring temperatures up to
1820°C (3308°F). The iSD includes a
pair of type K thermocouples.

Link to Web CAM or IP Camera

The Web page includes a link to
a “Web Cam” or “IP camera” (not
included). If you get a message
about an alarm condition, you can
quickly click on the link to view the
actual scene over the Internet.

SD Flash Memory CARD

The iSD comes complete with a
removable 2 GB SD Flash Memory
card that can store up to seven
years of readings taken at ten
second intervals.

Records on SD Flash Cards

The data is recorded on widely
available SD (Secure Digital) flash
cards. The format is a simple “.txt”
text file that is easily imported to
spread sheets and other programs.
It can be read directly on a PC or
MAC with a USB card reader.

You can also download the data
remotely over an Ethernet network
or the Internet.

Installation and operation of the
OMEGA iSD monitor requires no
special training, tools, or software.

The device connects to any Ethernet
network with standard cable and
plugs and is powered by any AC
outlet supplying 110 to 240 Vac.

Sensor Setup

Award-Winning Technology

The OMEGA iSD is simple to install
and use, and features OMEGA’s
award-winning iServer technology
that requires no special software
except a Web Browser.

The iSD connects to an Ethernet
Network with a standard RJ45
connector and sends data in
standard TCP/IP packets.

It is easily configured with a simple
menu using a Web Browser and
can be password protected.

From within an Ethernet LAN or
over the Internet, the user simply
types its IP address or an easy
to remember name such as
“Cleanroom 5” or “Midwest Server
Room” in any Web Browser, and
the iSD-TC serves a Web Page with
the current readings.

over Ethernet or the Internet.

Typical Applications

The OMEGA iSD is great for
monitoring temperature in
applications such as: clean
rooms, computer rooms, HVAC
systems, pharmaceutical and food
processing and storage, hospitals,
laboratories, semiconductor fabs,
electronic assembly, warehousing,
museums, manufacturing, farm
animal shelters, greenhouses, and
many more.
