1.3 Description

The wi®Series wireless monitoring and control system features meters compatible with a large and growing number of wireless sensors. For more information about the End Devices refer to the separate manual for these products.

The wiSeries Meter Scanner & Controller can monitor up to sixteen (16) readings coming from eight (8) End Devices.

Compact End Devices (zED) are powered by two AA 1.5V alkaline batteries. High performance, high power End Devices in NEMA4 enclosures come with two choices. The AC version (zED-P/-LCD) is powered by a 5 Vdc universal AC power

adapter that operates on any voltage worldwide (110 to 240 Vac). Should AC power fail, the unit can operate on a 3.6V ultra-long-life lithium back-up battery (included). A number of completely wireless wireless End Devices are powered by two AA (zED-LCD-AA), two C-cell (zED-CCELL), or two D-cell (zED-DCELL) alkaline batteries. These End Devices can operate for weeks, months, or years before changing the batteries. Battery life depends on the type of sensor and other user settings such as the frequency of transmission. The zED-DCELL version is not recommended for shock, vibration or in moving equipment.

1.3 Description (continued)

The End Devices transmit up to 300 feet (zED) or 3280 feet (zED-P/-LCD/-AA/ -CCELL/-DCELL) without obstructions or interference, to a wiSeries Meter connected directly to an Ethernet network and the Internet. The wireless system complies with IEEE 802.15.4 operating at 2.4 GHz and the user can switch to different communication channels to avoid interference with other wireless technologies (e.g.Wi-Fi).

The Meter also provides error detection mechanism for inactive communication and diagnostic information including signal strength and data transmission success rate to help troubleshooting potential wireless system installation issues. The Meter connects directly to an Ethernet network and the Internet and features award-winning embedded Web Server. It is easily configured and monitored with a Web browser over the Ethernet network or the Internet.

CONTROL, MONITOR, AND ALARM: The Meter comes standard with dual outputs of either Form C relays, SSR’s (solid state relays) or dc Pulses that can be used for ON/OFF control functions or alarms.

The meter can monitor alarm conditions for any or all of the wireless sensors. For example, the meter can be set up to trip an alarm if any one of the sensors indicated that it was above or below a pre-set alarm point.

Analog output is fully scalable and may be configured as an ON/OFF controller or re-transmission to follow your readings.

MONITOR AND CONTROL LOCALLY AND OVER THE INTERNET: The wiSeries wireless monitoring and control system provides local monitoring and control, along with remote Web-based monitoring of readings from End Devices. The wiSeries system let’s you monitor and record temperature over an Ethernet network or the Internet without any special software--just your Web Browser. 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 "Oven5" or "Fixture") and the wiSeries meter serves a Web Page with the current readings.

EMAIL ALARM: The wiSeries meter can trigger an alarm if variables go above or below a Setpoint 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. The "Mail Notifier" software is a free and easy program for this application. CHARTS AND GRAPHS: The 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. We offer a free and easy to use program iLog 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 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 or within any narrow range such as (20 to 30°C).

1.3 Description (continued)
DATALOGGING: The OPC Server software makes it easy to integrate the wiSeries
wireless sensor system with many popular Data Acquisition and Automation
programs offered by NEWPORT, OMEGA, Wonderware, iConics, Intellution,
Rockwell Automation, and National Instruments, among others.
PROGRAMMABLE COLOR DISPLAY:	The wiSeries features patented
programmable color displays. The display can be programmed to change color at
any Setpoint or Alarm point. For example, the meter can be programmed to display
the process value in GREEN during warm-up, switching to AMBER to signal the
normal operating range, and in RED to signal an alarm condition. The changes in
color are quickly seen from a distance, and machine operators can intuitively react to
changing conditions. The colors can be programmed to change back when the value
drops back below the alarm point or to "latch" on until being reset by the operator.
The meter can also be programmed to display only one unchanging color: GREEN,
AMBER, or RED. This is a useful way to let an operator identify, at a glance, temperature
values in three separate locations, or to display three different measurements.
The following example Figure 1.1 illustrates how you can hookup the Temperature
Wireless System to your network:
The wireless system consists of a single Meter and one or more End Devices. The
End Devices will send data periodically to the Meter where it serves as a gateway
between the users and the End Devices. The users can access the data through the
Meter’s Web Server and provided data acquisition software.
A standard web browser can be used to monitor and chart temperature. The browser
can also be used to configure the meter’s IP address, passwords for access and
overall configuration parameters.

2.1.4.2 Antenna Mounting Instruction

For best reception: connect the antenna directly to the rear of the meter, if the meter is not installed in a metal panel or enclosure.

If the rear of the meter is behind a metal panel or in a cabinet, use a coaxial cable to position the antenna outside of the enclosure in the open air.

Use the shortest cable that can reach a suitable location. The antenna on this Meter and any End Devices should be installed in a vertical position, pointing towards the sky.

Metallic structure should be kept at least 0.8” (2 cm), although 2.4” (6 cm) is recommended away from the antenna.

Any casing that encloses the antenna should be plastic. In addition, it is also wise to avoid plastic case with dark fillers or colorants.

Refer to Section 5 for more Environmental / Operating Conditions.

For the low voltage power option, in order to maintain the same degree of protection as the standard high voltage input power units (90 - 240 Vac), always use a Safety Agency Approved DC or AC source with the same Overvoltage Category and pollution degree as the standard AC unit (90 - 240 Vac).

The Safety European Standard EN61010-1 for measurement, control, and laboratory equipment requires that fuses must be specified based on IEC127. This standard specifies for a Time-lag fuse, the letter code “T”. The above recommended fuses are of the type IEC127-2-sheet III. Be aware that there are significant differences between the requirements listed in the UL 248-14/CSA 248.14 and the IEC 127 fuse standards. As a result, no single fuse can carry all approval listings. A 1.0 Amp IEC fuse is approximately equivalent to a 1.4 Amp UL/CSA fuse. It is advised to consult the manufacturer’s data sheets for a cross-reference.

2.2 Network Communication Interfaces
2.2.1 10Base-T RJ-45 Pinout
The 10BASE-T Ethernet network (RJ-45) system is used in the Meter for
network connectivity. The 10 Mbps twisted-pair Ethernet system operates over
two pairs of wires. One pair is used for receiving data signals and the other pair
is used for transmitting data signals. This means that four pins of the eight-pin
connector are used.

PART 3

NETWORK CONFIGURATION

3.1 Ethernet (MAC) Address

MAC (Media Access Control) address is your computer's unique hardware number. When you're connected to the LAN from your computer, a correspondence table relates your IP address to your computer's physical (MAC) address. The MAC address can be found on the label of your meter (see Figure 2.4 and 3.1) and contains 6 bytes (12 characters) of hexadecimal numbers XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX For Example: 0A:0C:3D:0B:0A:0B

Remove the small label with the default IP address and there will be room to put your IP address.

There is also a small label for your Network ID address (NID).

NET.ADDR

3.2 Network Protocols Figure 3.1 Label Detail

The Meter can be connected to the network using standard TCP/IP protocols. It also supports ARP, HTTP (Web Server), DHCP, DNS and Telnet protocols.

3.3 DHCP

DHCP, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol enables computers and devices to extract their IP configurations from a server (DHCP server).

If the DHCP is enabled on your Meter, as soon as the Meter is connected to the network, there is an exchange of information between DHCP server and the Meter. During this process the IP address, the Gateway address, and the Subnet Mask will be assigned to the Meter by the DHCP server. Note that the DHCP server must be configured correctly to do such assignment.

17

3.3 DHCP (continued)

The Meter is shipped with DHCP disabled (factory default).

If fixed or static IP address is desired, the DHCP must be disabled.

The DHCP can be enabled by setting the DIP switch # 3 to the “ON” position

Figure 3.2 4 Position DIP Switch

Setting the Meter’s IP address to 0.0.0.0 will also enable DHCP.

3.4 DNS

DNS, Domain Name System enables computers and devices to be recognized over a network based on a specific name instead of IP addresses.

For example, instead of having to use http://192.168.1.200 (IP address), you would use only http://wis03ec or any eight character name stored as Host Name under “Access Control” page from the Wireless System Home Page. The default DNS name for the Meter is "wis" followed by the last four digits of the MAC address of that particular Meter.

1. It is very important to communicate with the network administrator in order to understand DHCP and its existing configurations on the

host server, before enabling DHCP on the Meter.

2. The Meters are shipped with a default static IP address of

192.168.1.200 and Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0.

3. On Windows servers where DCHP and DNS are separate functions it is very important to configure the DHCP server to communicate with DNS in order for the iServer’s Host Name to correctly respond. If you cannot access the iServer using its Host Name, please contact your network administrator to make sure the DHCP and DNS servers are linked together.

18

3.5 IP Address

Every active device connected to the TCP/IP network must have a unique IP address. This IP address is used to establish a connection to the Meter. Every computer using TCP/IP should have a unique 32-bit address which is divided into two portions, the network ID and the host ID. For instance, every computer on the same network uses the same network ID. At the same time, all of them have a different host ID. For more details about the IP address see Appendix B.

3.5.1 Default IP Address

The Meter is shipped with a default IP address of 192.168.1.200 and Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0. If you are going to use a Web browser or Telnet program to access the Meter using its default IP address, make sure that the PC from which you’re establishing the connection has an IP address that is in the same range as the Meter’s IP address (192.168.1.x, where x can be any number from 1 to 254). See Section 3.5.2.

Your PC’s IP address cannot be the same as the Meter’s IP address.

You also need to make sure that your PC’s Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0. This is a good way to access the Meter over the network and make any configuration changes needed. If 192.168.1.200 is already in use on your network, use an Ethernet crossover cable between your computer and the Meter to change the IP address or any other settings within the Meter.

19

3.5.2 Changing TCP/IP Properties on Your Computer

Go to your computer’s Control Panel then Network Connections. Pick the network with the proper Ethernet card. Right click and choose

Properties

Look for Internet Protocol, click on it and press Properties

PART 4

NETWORK OPERATIONS

This Meter can be used and configured in several ways, depending on user’s preference and network setup. It can be configured using a Web browser, like Internet Explorer. It can also be configured using the iConnect Configuration Software.

If DHCP and DNS servers are configured to exchange information, the connection will be very simple. All you need to do is to enable DHCP on the Meter (see Section 3.3) and use a straight through network cable to connect the Meter to an Ethernet hub or switch and power it up. Now, you can use the Meter’s default Host (Domain) Name, which is wisxxxx (where xxxx are the last four characters of its MAC address) to access the Meter’s Web Server.

If DHCP is not the preferred method, you can configure your PC’s network connection with an IP address of 192.168.1.x that is in the same range as the Meter’s default IP address (192.168.1.200) and connect to the Meter using a cross-over network cable between your PC’s network port and the Meter. After you’re done with configuring the Meter, you can always set your PC back to its original settings. See Section 3.5.2 for more details.

On your computer, from the MS-DOS Prompt window type "ping 192.168.1.200” and press Enter. If DHCP and DNS servers are used type “ping wisxxxx”, where xxxx are the last four digits of the Meter’s MAC address, located on the meter. You should get a reply as shown in Figure 4.1.

You can use the host name (wisxxxx) instead of the IP address only if your DHCP server is configured to communicate with your DNS. Please consult with your IT department for details.
