Temperature Readings of up to 8 Sensors

The wiSeries 1⁄8 DIN panel meter and controller can monitor
up to 8 wireless sensors.

The compact instrument connects directly to an Ethernet
network and the Internet and features OMEGA’s award­winning embedded Web Server. It is easily configured and
monitored with a Web browser over the Ethernet network
or the Internet.

Alternatively, the wi8 meter-controller can instead be
connected to the USB port of a single computer with a
“USB Ethernet Adaptor” that are inexpensive and widely
available.

Monitor and Alarm

The wi-8 meter-controller comes standard with a choice of
either two Form C relays, or two SSRs (solid state relays)
that can be used for control functions or alarms. The wi8
meter can monitor alarm conditions for any or all of the
wireless sensors. For example, the wi-8 meter can be set
up to trip an alarm if any one of the sensors indicated it
was above or below a pre-set alarm point.

Monitor and Control Locally and
Over the Internet

The OMEGA®wiSeries wireless monitoring and control
system provides local monitoring and control,
along with remote Web-based monitoring of temperature
from thermocouples, RTDs, and semiconductor sensors.

The wireless sensors transmit up to 1000 m (3280')
(without obstructions or interference) to a wiSeries
monitor-controller connected directly to an Ethernet
network and the Internet. The wireless system complies
with IEEE 802.15.4 operating at 2.4 GHz.

Note: Distances for UWTC-1, UWRTD-1: up to 60 m (200'), UWTC-2,
UWRTD-2: up to 120 m (400'), zED-x-P: up to 1000 m (3280'), zED-x:
up to 90 m (300') all distances without obstructions or interference.

The OMEGA wiSeries system let’s you monitor and record
temperature over an Ethernet network or the Internet
without any special software—just your Web Browser.

Wireless Sensors

OMEGA offers a wide and growing selection of wireless
sensors for a variety of applications. Depending on
application, the wireless sensors are powered by 2 “AA”

batteries, a single lithium battery (approx “AA” size),
2 “D” cell batteries, or an external AC adaptor that
operates on any voltage worldwide from 100 to 240 Vac.

Wireless sensors are available with external probes
appropriate for an almost unlimited variety of industrial and
commercial applications.

Ethernet

The wiSeries meter-controller-scanner is an independent
node on the network sending and receiving data in
standard TCP/IP packets. It is easily configured from a
Web Browser and can be password protected. From within
an Ethernet LAN or over the Internet, the user simply types
the IP address (such as 192.168.1.200) or an easy to
remember name (such as “Oven 5” or “Chicago Test
Fixture”) and the wiSeries meter serves a Web Page with
the current readings.

Alarm and Email

The wiSeries meter can trigger an alarm if variables go
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
PDAs. The OMEGA “Mail Notifier” software is a free and
easy program for this application.

The wiSeries meter-controllers operate on any AC voltage
worldwide from 90 to 240 Vac and 50 to 60 Hz. The meter­controller connects directly to an Ethernet Network or the
Internet. Unlike an RS232 or USB device, it does not
require a host computer.

Embedded Webserver

The OMEGA wiSeries wireless sensor system is easy to
install, simple to operate, and features OMEGA’s award­winning iServer technology with an Embedded Web Server
that requires no special software.

Charts and Graphs

The OMEGA wiSeries system serves Active Web Pages
to display real time readings and charts of temperature.
You can also log data in standard data formats for use in a
spreadsheet or data acquisition program such as Excel or
Visual Basic. OMEGA offers a free and easy to use
program for logging data to Excel.

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 wiSeries system 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 (-40 to 125°C), or within
any narrow range such as (20 to 30°C).
