1.3 Description

The zSeries wireless sensor system provides Web-based monitoring of Temperature, Humidity, and Barometric Pressure in critical HVAC and Refrigeration applications.

The compact wireless "End Devices" mount discretely on the wall in clean rooms, laboratories, museums, computer server rooms, warehouses, and any remote facility.

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/91m (zED) or 3280 feet/1000m (zED-P/-LCD/

-AA/-CCELL/-DCELL), without obstructions or interference, to a "Coordinator" 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).

To achieve robust and reliable wireless communication, End Devices retransmit data adaptively to the environment so that power consumption is optimized in harsh conditions. The Coordinator also provides error detection mechanism for inactive communication and diagnostic information including signal strength and data transmission success rate to help trouble shooting potential wireless system installation issues.

The zSeries system allows you to monitor and record Temperature, Relative Humidity, and Barometric Pressure over an Ethernet network or the Internet without any special software-just your Web Browser.

We offer a selection of End Devices for a variety of applications. End Devices can take thermocouple types J, K, T, E, R, S, B, C, N and L (DIN J) measuring temperatures up to 2320ºC from two different locations. Also, End Devices are available with built-in sensors, with external sensor probes, and with both built-in and external sensors. The external sensors are designed for harsh environments such as outdoor weather, in HVAC ducts, freezers and refrigerators.

For example, you can select one End Device that has one internal and one external sensor to monitor temperature and humidity both inside and outside a climate-controlled facility.

Each zSeries Coordinator can directly support up to thirty-two (32) End Devices and a maximum of 8 Coordinators can be setup in the vicinity. The Coordinators include AC adapters to operate on any voltage worldwide from 100 to 240 Vac and 50 to 60Hz. The Coordinator connects directly to an Ethernet Network or the Internet. Unlike an RS232 or USB device, it does not require a host computer.

The zSeries Coordinator 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 "ServRoom" or "Chicago5") and the Coordinator serves a Web Page with the current readings.

The device 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 Internet enabled cell phones and PDA’s. The "Mail Notifier" software is free and easy to use program for this application.

The zSeries wireless sensor system is easy to install, simple to operate, and features award-winning iServer technology with an Embedded Web Server that requires no special software.

The zSeries system serves Active Web Pages to display real time readings and charts of temperature, humidity, and barometric pressure. You can also log data in standard data formats for use in a spreadsheet or data acquisition program such as Excel or Visual Basic. iLog is 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 zSeries 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 and humidity can be charted across the full span (-40 to 125°C, and 0 to 100% RH) or within any narrow range such as (20 to 30°C).

The OPC Server software makes it easy to integrate the zSeries wireless sensor system with many popular Data Acquisition and Automation programs offered by Omega, Wonderware, iConics, Intellution, Rockwell Automation, and National Instruments, among others.

The following example illustrates how you can hookup zSeries wireless system to your network:

The zSeries wireless system consists of a single Coordinator and one or more End Devices. End devices will send data periodically to the Coordinator where it serves as a gateway between the users and the End Devices. The users can access the data through the Coordinator’s web server and provided data acquisition software.

A standard web browser can be used to monitor and chart temperature, humidity, and barometric pressure. The browser can also be used to configure the device’s IP address, passwords for access and overall configuration parameters.

WIRE ENTRY

2.8.1 10BASE-T RJ-45 Pinout

The 10BASE-T Ethernet network (RJ-45) system is used in the Coordinator 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.

2.8.2 10BASE-T Crossover Wiring

When connecting the Coordinator directly to the computer, the transmit data pins of the computer should be wired to the receive data pins of the Coordinator, and vice versa. The 10Base-T crossover cable with pin connection assignments are shown below.

2.9 Thermocouple Wiring

The figure below shows the wiring hook-up for thermocouples. You may install 2 thermocouples. Example: for Type K thermocouple, connect the yellow wire to the "1 (+)" terminal (J1) and the red wire to the "2 (-)" terminal.

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 device and contains 6 bytes (12 characters) of hexadecimal numbers XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX hex

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. See Figure 2.5.

3.2 Network Protocols

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

The Coordinator 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

DIP switch # 3 shown in "ON" position

Figure 3.1 4 Position DIP Switch on the Bottom Side of Coordinator

Setting the Coordinator’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://z03ec or any sixteen character name stored as Host Name under Access Control menu in the zSeries Home Page.

The default DNS name for the Coordinator is "z" followed by the last four digits of the MAC address of that particular Coordinator.

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 Coordinator.

2. The Coordinators 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 the 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.

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 Coordinator. 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 Coordinator 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 Coordinator 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 Coordinator’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 Coordinator’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 Coordinator 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 Coordinator to change the IP address or any other settings within the Coordinator.

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

Figure 3.2 Network Connections

Setup the IP address (in this case, 192.168.1.1) as shown below and press OK.

You can access the server via any internet browser using IP address of 192.168.1.200.

Once you log into the web server, you will be able to change its IP configuration according to

Section 4.2.

After you configure the Coordinator’s you should go back and set your PC’s previous IP settings.

PART 4 OPERATIONS

This Coordinator 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 Coordinator (see Section 3.3) and use a straight through network cable to connect the Coordinator to an Ethernet hub or switch and power it up. Now, you can use the Coordinator’s default Host (Domain) Name, which is zxxxx (where xxxx are the last four characters of its MAC address) to access the Coordinator’s Web Server.

If DHCP is not the preferred method, you can configure your PC’s network connection (see Section 3.5.2 for more details) with an IP address of 192.168.1.x that is in the same range as the Coordinator’s default IP address (192.168.1.200) and connect to the Coordinator using a cross-over network cable between your PC’s network port and the Coordinator.

After you’re done with configuring the Coordinator, you can set your PC’s network connection back to its original settings.

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 zxxxx", where xxxx are the last four digits of the Coordinator’s MAC address, located on the back of the device. You should get a reply as shown in Figure 4.1.

4.0 Testing the Connection

Figure 4.1 Pinging the Coordinator from MS-DOS Prompt

This proves that the connection is proper and you can get into configuration or run mode using the Telnet or Web browser.

4.1 iConnect Software

The Coordinator may also be assigned an IP Address by using the iConnect software. a) Download the iConnect software from the website listed in this manual. b) Install iConnect software on a networked PC. This software is compatible with

Windows 95, 98, NT, 2000, and XP.

c) Use iConnect to assign an IP address to the Coordinator and access its web pages

for configuration. You can also use any standard web browser to access the zSeries system’s web pages. Consult with your IT department for obtaining an IP address.

Besides using the iConnect software, you may use the Coordinator’s default IP address to access it and assign a new IP address to it.

The Coordinator is shipped with a default IP address of 192.168.1.200 and Subnet Mask of

255.255.255.0.

You can configure your PC’s Network connection

(See Section 3.5.2 for more details)

with an IP address that is in the same range as the Coordinator’s IP address (192.168.1.x) and connect to the Coordinator using a crossover network cable between your PC and the Coordinator.

With this completed, you can go to the DOS-Prompt and ping 192.168.1.200. If you receive responses back (Figure 4.1), you can go to the Web browser and type in http://192.168.1.200 and it will take you to the zSeries Home Page.

Select Access Control page were you can simply type in the desired Static IP address, and click Save.

For more details about the "Access Control"page refer to Section 4.3.9.

For the IP address to take effect, the Coordinator needs to be turned OFF and ON using the "Network Reset" button. Pressing the physical button marked "RESET" on the Coordinator does the same thing.

You can now connect the Coordinator to an Ethernet hub using a straight through cable, power it up, and follow the ping routine mentioned in the previous section.

2. LOGIN Password (operator) allows users to access and modify all of the parameters, except "Access Control" which requires an Administrator password.

The default password is 12345678. This password can be up to 16 alphanumeric case-sensitive characters.

4.3.1 Power Up Device

To verify that an End Device is working before deploying remotely, install batteries and power it on right next to the Coordinator. When the End Device is powered on, it will search for the Coordinator in all 16 channels reserved for IEEE 802.15.4 (channel 11 through 26) by sending request packets. While it’s searching, the blue LED on the End Device blinks every second. Once the Coordinator responds to the End Device request, the LED will blink only when the End Device sends data to the Coordinator (default is every 10 seconds). If the Coordinator is not powered on or it’s out of reach, the End Device will keep searching until the batteries discharge (e.g. roughly 36 hours for zED).

Once the Coordinator responds back to the End Device it will include its network number in the response packet called Beacon. At this time the End Device would know what the correct Coordinator is (there could be more than one Coordinator responding to the End Device’s request packet). The channel on which the Coordinator responds back is automatically picked to be the clearest among all 16 channels and therefore the End Device starts sending data to the Coordinator on that particular channel.

Once the End Devices and the Coordinator start communicating, make sure to push DIP switch #1 located on the back of the Coordinator to ON position. This will lock the Coordinator on the same channel it initially established the connection.

After the End Device transmits data to the Coordinator, it expects an acknowledgment packet back from the Coordinator. If the End Device does not receive an acknowledgment packet back within 50ms, it will go to sleep mode for 2 seconds and then will transmit the data. This cycle will be repeated for 10 times and if it still does not receive the acknowledgment packet back, the End Device takes a longer sleep time of 3 minutes. After 3 minutes, the End Device retransmits the data every 2 seconds for 4 times and each time it waits for 50ms for an acknowledgment. If it still does not receive a response back from the Coordinator it will take another 3 minutes of sleep. This last sequence will continue until the batteries are drained. Through the whole retransmission cycle explained above the blue LED on the End Device will blink anytime retransmission takes place.

The data being retransmitted will automatically gets updated as new readings take place.

If the communication channel is manually selected in the Coordinator, the End Devices must be power-cycled in order to establish connection over the new channel. If it’s not possible to power-cycle the End Devices locally, a remote option is available through the Coordinator’s Web server or Telnet console.

When there are two End Devices with the same Device ID, both will be transmitting data every second with their LEDs blinking once a second. The Coordinator will receive data from both End Devices and will display their data alternately. On the "Readings", "Chart", and "Diagnostic" pages of the Coordinator’s Web server, the phrase "ID" error code will be placed indicating the conflict. Once the problem is resolved, click on the "Reset Sensor" button located on the Sensors Parameters page to remove the "ID" error code.

In case of power failure/outage during normal operation, the zED-P/-LCD will automatically switch its power supply from AC adapter to back-up battery. However, power switching may fail if the End Device is on and consumes lots of energy. Therefore, "LOST" will be detected, the LED stops blinking periodically and the unit must be power cycled manually.

1. Go to your computer's Control Panel. Open the Java Plug-in

2. Select the "Cache" Tab Un-check the "Enable Caching" box

3. Select the "Proxy" Tab. Follow these Browser Proxy Selection instructions below. (Generally, un-check the box if accessing Coordinator on your local network and check the box for access from your internal network to the internet.)

4. Refresh or restart the webpage.

To disable cache setting: For Java Version 1.4.2.x it is found under the CACHE TAB.

Figure 4.10 Java 1.4.2.x Screen Shot

4.3.3.2 Java Runtime Environment 1.5 (5.0) Setup instructions

1. Go to your computer's Control Panel. Open the Java Plug-in

2. Click on "Settings" & "View Applets" in the "General" tab.

3. Select the "Settings" button on the General Tab Un-check the "Enable Caching" box. Then close dialog box to show the General

Tab again

4. Select the "Network Settings" button on the General Tab. Proceed to the Browser tab. Follow the Browser Proxy Selection instructions

below.You should either select the "Use Browser Settings" option or the "Direct Connection" option depending on the network connections between your computer and the Coordinator. (Generally, select "Direct Connection" if accessing Coordinator on your local network and select "Use Browser Settings" option for access from your internal network to the internet.)

5. Refresh or restart the webpage.

For Java Version 1.5.x.x it is found under "General" > "Settings" > "View Applets" and then at the bottom there is the Checkbox to REMOVE CACHE .

Figure 4.11 Java 1.5.x.x. Screen Shots

For Java 1.6.x.x it is similar to Java 1.5.x.x but there is no need to remove CACHE.

4.3.3.3 Browser Proxy Selection Accessing Coordinators within your internal network

• Usually when the computer and Coordinators are on an internal network, you will not

use Proxy server access.

• You should un-check the "Use Browser Settings" option on the "Proxy" tab. Accessing Coordinators units using the internet

• Often the web browser will use Proxy server access to the internet. In such cases,

the default Java runtime settings on the "Proxy" tab should suffice. The default setting is the "Use Browser Settings" option.

• If the default proxy setting doesn't work, then you may have a situation where the proxy settings of the web browser are incorrect.

Diagnostics:

If the web page of the zSeries system appears, then the HTTP Proxy is working fine. If the data isn't updated on the zSeries system upon selecting the "Readings" web page,

there may be a problem with access through a winsock proxy server. In such cases your network administrator will need to provide the winsock proxy server and port #s. (The TCP ports the Coordinator uses for Java applets are 1000 and 1001).

These values should be entered into the Socks line on the "Proxy" tab (of the Java Plugin control panel) or into the "connections" tab on the View,Internet Options dialog and make sure that the Proxy tab shows that the "Use Browser Settings" option is not selected (i.e. when you specify proxy connections in the Java Plugin control panel).

Accessing Coordinators units over Peer-to-Peer network

A simple peer-to-peer network is setup by disconnecting from the main network (as users will often do when trying to do initial setup of the zSeries system) and then connecting the Coordinator to another computer using an ethernet hub, an ethernet switch, or a Cross-over cable connection.

Often when using a peer-to-peer network, the Java plugin and the web browser (such as Internet Explorer) have internet connections configured to connect through proxy servers. In such case, you will need to simply assign the final IP address on this peer to peer network and then view the Wireless System’s charts after connecting the Coordinator into the regular network. Otherwise you can disable the Java plug-in's "Use Browser Settings" temporarily and then reconfigure the Java plug-in settings for regular network access after testing the Wireless System’s chart access on your peer-to-peer network.

The "Use Browser Settings" should not be selected. And the HTTP and Socks proxy entries should be blank. Also, setup the internet browser so that proxy servers are disabled.

4.3.4 Java Policy

To activate data logging and save graphs from the Java applets, it is necessary to create a Java Policy file and copy it onto a folder.

1) Open a Notepad file and using the IP address of the Coordinator type the following:

grant codeBase "http://192.168.1.200/" {

permission java.security.AllPermission "*", "*";

};

This file should have the IP address of the Coordinator; in this case the default IP address is 192.168.1.200.

If the IP address is changed, then the IP address shown in the file needs to be changed; otherwise, it will not work.

If more than one Coordinator is being monitored from the same computer, it is necessary to repeat the above for each of the Coordinators in the same "java_policy.txt" file.

If DHCP/DNS is enabled, the unique Coordinator’s name using DNS should replace the IP address.

Example: "http:\\zSvrTEST". Make sure the DHCP server updates the DNS table to keep track of the Coordinator’s name and IP addresses (consult with your network administrator).

2) Save the file as java_policy.txt.

3) Create a folder in your C: drive called "0_JAVAPOLICY".

4) Place the java.policy.policy file into the "0_JAVAPOLICY" folder.

Update rate is closely related to the lifetime of the battery.

Since the End Device is in low power consumption (sleep mode) when idle, a longer update rate will cause less energy usage and prolong the life of the battery.

On the other hand, a faster update rate shortens the battery life and results in a busy network, which will increase the chance of signal interference.

As a general rule of thumb, minimum update rate should be proportional to the number of sensors in the network.

This section describes the "Access Control" page of the Web interface. This page allows the users to set up the network and security parameters of the zSeries wireless system.

At the initial entrance to the "Access Control" page you may be prompted for the LOGIN Password (see Figure 4.6) prior to an ADMINISTRATOR Password.

Login Password: This allows users to access and modify all of the zSeries Home Page menu items, except "Access Control", which requires an Administrator password. The default Login password is 12345678. This password can be up to 16 alpha-numeric case-sensitive characters.

If there is no Login Password assigned (blank box) the zSeries system will not require a password to access and modify zSeries Home page menu items.

Admin (administrator) Password: This allows users to access and modify the "Access Control" page. The default password is 00000000. This password can be up to 16 alphanumeric case-sensitive characters.

If there is no Administrator Password assigned (blank box) the zSeries system will not require password to access and modify "Access Control" page.

Web Server: To enable or disable the embedded webpages. Host Name: Name of the server (DNS) max 16 characters, default is "z" and the last 4

digits of the MAC address. Refer to Section 3.4, DNS. MAC Address: This is also called Hardware address or Ethernet address, which is

assigned to the Coordinator at production. The MAC (Media Access Control) address is the Coordinator’s unique hardware number and is not changeable.

Figure 4.21 Access Control

4.3.9 Access Control (continued) IP Address: The IP (Internet Protocol) address is a 32-bit number that identifies each

sender or receiver of information that is sent in packets across the Ethernet or the Internet. The Coordinator’s default IP address is 192.168.1.200. The Coordinator’s IP address should be changed to fit user’s networking environment. Consult with your IT department for obtaining an IP address.

The DHCP will be enabled in the Coordinator if its IP address is set to 0.0.0.0. The DHCP can also be enabled by setting the DIP switch #3 to ON position.

Gateway Address: A gateway is a network point that acts as an entrance to another network. A gateway is often associated with a router, which knows where to direct a given packet of data that arrives at the gateway. If the Coordinator is sending packets to another network node that is not on the same network on which the Coordinator is connected, a gateway address needs to be given to the Coordinator. The gateway address should be the IP address of the router connected to the same LAN to which the Coordinator is connected. The Coordinator default gateway address is 0.0.0.0. Consult with your IT department for obtaining a gateway address.

Subnet Mask: It’s a 32-bit number that is used to determine which part of the IP address is the network portion and which part is the host portion. The Coordinator default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. Consult with your IT department for obtaining a subnet mask.

Save: Saves any changes for above settings. Reset: Pressing the Reset button will set all the fields back to their original values. Network Reset: Reboots the embedded server. Note that all updated network

parameters take effect after reboot.

Changes made in the "Access Control" page can be saved permanently by pressing the Save button and power recycling the Coordinator (press Network

Reset button).

4.4 Telnet Setup

In the Configuration page, set the TCP Connections to 1 - 5 other than 0, and use a telnet simulation program to connect to the Coordinator (using Port 2000). The command can be sent to query the Coordinator and you will get a response back.

For a list of commands refer to ASCII/TELNET Commands Table in Appendix F.

4.5 HTTPget Program

The HTTPget software is used to send a single HTTP or TCP request to a Coordinator. In contrast, the telnet or Hyperterminal programs allow a continuous connection with multiple requests to be sent to the Coordinator.

Generally HTTPget is used for simply programming an IP address to the Coordinator or for quickly obtaining a reading from a device.

The Coordinator must be configured from the configuration web page so that the "TCP Connections" indicates any number between 1 and 5. Make sure that the Port Field number indicates 2000.

4.5 HTTPget Program (continued)

C:\

C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe

ID # of End Device

Sequence #

End Device Type

Sensor Value & Unit

Whenever Terminal Server service (using Port 2000 by default) is required, the # of connections must be set to a value from 1 to 5. The Terminal Server mode is the recommended mode for the most reliable connection when operating with NEWPORT software or with other programs supporting TCP/IP communications. The Port 2000 access can be used with NEWPORT software and may be needed with some zSeries wireless system products when you need to view readings from the web page while simultaneously collecting data through TCP/IP communications.

4.5.1 HTTPget using Port 2000

You can setup and read the information from the zSeries wireless system by using the HTTPget program. The following program can be used to read data from the embedded server firmware by using TCP port 2000. The command string is sent to this TCP port, then the response can be read back from the same socket.

The HTTPget.exe file is used to setup and read information from the zSeries system. This file will be automatically installed when you install the MailNotifier software available on our website and CD.

Notes on using HTTPget : The HTTPget.exe program is installed to the windows directory (usually c:\winnt or

c:\windows) when installing the Mail Notifier software.

1. Open up a command window (or have a DOS window) a) Click on start menu b) Click on "Run" c) In the dialog box that appears, type "cmd" or "command" and click on "OK" button. d) A command window should now appear.

2. If you now type "httpget" and press the "enter", the program options should be displayed.

3. Next run HTTPget with the options displayed below

httpget -r -S ERDGALL 192.168.1.200:2000 -C1 -q

where:

-r –S are parameters needed for the the command string ERDGALL is the Telnet command (refer to Appendix F)

192.168.1.200 is an IP address 2000 is a socket port number

-C1 closes the TCP connection after 1 second

-q displays no error messages once the connection is closed

Figure 4.22 HTTPget Example of Polling End Device #1, 2, 3, 4

4.5.2 HTTPget and ARP to Setup Device IP Address

Use the iConnect software, which may be downloaded from our website, to do these IP changes whenever possible.

Use ARP first to assign the mac address to a static IP address in computer arp table by this command:

arp –s 192.168.1.200 00-03-34-00-06-b6

Then use the following command to assign new IP to the device:

Httpget –r –S "00000000" 192.168.1.200:1

where:

"0000000" is admin. password. If the password is wrong, the unit will ignore the new IP. If the new IP is taken, you will get the message "New IP is Assigned" after the HTTPget command. The device will reset automatically.

"192.168.1.200" is an example of an IP address. It is replaced with IP address suitable for your network.

"00-03-34-00-06-b6" is replaced with your Coordinator MAC address.

4.6 ARP Protocol

ARP is the Internet layer protocol responsible for matching or obtaining the MAC (hardware) address that corresponds to a particular IP address. The ARP command allows the user to view the current contents of the ARP cache of the local computer (residing on the same network). Microsoft includes the ARP.EXE utility for viewing and modifying the ARP cache with its Windows products. The following ARP commands can be used to view cache entries:

For complete information of how to use the Mail Notifier software, click on the Help menu of the main window.

The Mail Notifier software generates email notifications for alarm conditions. Users can be notified automatically of alarm conditions monitored via internet connections throughout the world. By use of the email forwarding of alarm conditions, alarm conditions can be monitored on a network isolated from the internet and forwarded to connections on the Internet.

The Mail Notifier utility operates under Windows 98, NT 4.0, 2000, and XP in conjunction with existing email that supports the MAPI messaging interface. If MS Outlook has been loaded, the MAPI support should be available.

4.8.1 Installation

The Mail Notifier must be loaded on a computer running Microsoft Windows (versions specified earlier) using an email program that provides MAPI access. Network access must be available between this computer and the zSeries wireless system. Network access must also be available from this computer to the appropriate email server and from the email server to the recipient’s email server.

• Specifying connection details to MAPI services.

•

Defining alarms for devices, and selecting how and when the email will be active.

Email Address Setup

The email addresses must be entered using individual addresses or alias. Select "Options" from the "View" menu and enter the email addresses on the "Send To" screen. This will be the list of email addresses to which alarm notifications will be sent.

Email Setup

The Mail Notifier is compatible with original MS OutlookTMand OutlookTM2002 to 2005. The Mail Notifier will attempt to automatically identify whether the Outlook is a newer

version. A red bar appears under the Mail Notifier splash window to confirm that the detection of the 2002 or newer version is acceptable. With the newer versions, no additional steps should be taken to enable the connection between the Mail Notifier and the Email server.

MS Outlook tends to require that the users respond to a "login box" in order for email access to be activated for Mail Notifier. Some other email clients may allow for Mail Notifier to gain access without user login, as may be desired for a system recovering from a power outage. See the Help files for more information.

Figure 4.26 Mail Notifier Profile Setup

4.8.3 Device Setting and Configuration

Make sure that the Coordinator is configured (using web access, see Figure 4.17) to the settings below.

TCP Connection = any value from 1 to 5 Port number = 2000 (other values may be acceptable as long as Mail Notifier is setup

with the same Port number). Then on the Mail Notifier Alarm Editor:

1) Set the "IP address" (for example 192.168.1.200).

2) Specify "Socket Number" 2000.

3) Set the "Address/RS485 Unit" to the Device ID number for an End Device.

4) Set the "Reading Cmd" using general commands in the following Table below.

5) Define the Alarm Configuration (High/Low, High value, or Low value).

Specify Email Interval. This determines how many seconds each subsequential alarm notification will be sent.

Determine Monitor interval. This establishes the interval or time resolution in seconds for which readings will be obtained from the device.

PART 5 ENVIRONMENT / OPERATING CONDITIONS

End Device/Coordinator are designed to be fixed mounted and operated in a clean and dry environment. Care should be taken to prevent the components of your wireless system from being exposed to moisture, toxic chemicals, extreme cold or hot temperature that are outside the specification listed in this manual.

The following is a list of basic good practice you should apply when operating this Wireless System.

1. Do not operate the wireless device in flammable or explosive environments.

2. Do not use the wireless device in medical, nuclear or any other critical application where failure can cause damage or harm.

3. Always operate the wireless device within the recommended environmental limits specified in this manual.

4. Do not operate your wireless device with a battery or AC adapter other than what’s supplied or specified in this manual or on the battery compartment label.

5. Keep each wireless device at least 8 inches (20 cm) from other radio transmitters, antennas, and people.

6. The FCC approval for this device specifies the specific antenna supplied with this device.

5.1 General Deployment Guidelines

1. Position Coordinator in a central location. When multiple End Devices are in operation, position your Coordinator in a central space if possible in equal distance to each End Device.

2. Test your system before permanent mounting. Try to move the devices to different location around and mounting angles to determine what installation achieves the best signal strength before permanently mounting the End Device.

3. Move your system components higher off the floor and away from exterior walls. The closer the End Device/Coordinator are, the greater the interference and lose of signal strength will be.

4. Maintain a line-of-sight between antennas and keep Fresnel zone free of obstruction. See Figure 5.2.

5. Maintain a constant ambient temperature environment. Exposing your system components to extreme cold or hot temperatures, or sudden changes in ambient conditions will have an effect on the performance of your system.

6. As a general rule in buildings, head height or above is preferred. On the other hand, End Device stays close to the floor may have their range reduced by 50% to 90%.

7. Where possible, try to ensure an uninterrupted line-of-sight between nodes. Avoid obscuring objects (e.g. metal pillars, posts, sign) near the antenna. A close object obscures a wider range of solid angle.

8. It is important to understand that the environment may change over time due to new equipment or machinery being installed, building construction, etc. If new obstacles exist between your End Device and Coordinator, antenna angle may need to be re-adjusted and/or the unit has to be relocated.

9. An IEEE 802.15.4 wireless network will not work under water. Wet condition (e.g. in heavy rainfall) may exhibit some degradation. In most cases, water droplets on or close to the antenna are more serious than the rain itself. Humidity can affect radio performance as well.

10. Reduced performance scenario:

a. A large building may have few obstructions between nodes but large amount

of metallic paneling that cause reflections.

b. A small domestic installation may have numerous brick walls between nodes

in individual rooms.

c. An office building may have metalized dry-wall partitions together with

mezzanine ceilings.

Data is sent through radio signal at 2.4 GHz. Radio signals are electromagnetic waves, hence the signal becomes weaker the further it travels.

While radio waves can penetrate some solid materials like a wall, they can diminish more than when a direct line-of-sight between the transmitting and receiving antenna exist.

Therefore, it is generally a good idea to place Coordinator at the center while End Devices are located about the same distance away from it. If possible, keeping clearance around the line of site will improve performance as well.

Figure 5.1 Operation in Buildings

5.2 With Line-of-Sight

COORDINATOR

ANTENNA

END DEVICE

ANTENNA

When installing your Coordinator it is important to position your device in such a way to optimize the antenna location within what’s known as the "Fresnel Zone". The Fresnel Zone can be thought of as a football-shaped invisible tunnel between two locations that provides a path for RF signals between your End Device and your Coordinator.

Figure 5.2 Fresnel Zone

In order to achieve maximum range, the football-shaped path in which radio waves travel must be free of obstructions. Obstacles in the path (especially metal) will decrease the communication range between your End Device and Coordinator. Also, if the antennas are mounted just barely off the ground or below the ceiling, over half of the Fresnel zone ends up being obstructed resulting in significant reduction in range. Below is the calculated radius of the football-shaped tunnel for different distance range:

Distance (feet) Radius (feet)

100 3.2 200 4.5 300 5.5

It is recommended that within the tunnel of the above radius, at least 60% of space is

free of obstruction.

Since signal reaches destination directly in a line-of-sight situation, it is important to

adjust antenna properly to achieve maximum performance. Antenna for the Coordinator and End Device should be perpendicular to the plane where Coordinator and End Device is located.

5.3 Without Line-of-Sight

When line-of-sight is not possible, signal penetrates and is reflected by different objects to reach the destination. Therefore, it is important to learn about how these materials would affect signal propagation. Depending on the thickness, moisture content and angle of incidence, a wall may allow between 1% and 25% of the radio power to pass through. Metal panel or metalized glass window will not allow much radio power to pass through. Signal will be reflected if the panel is a mirror. Some radio power may propagate through small holes in the panel or around metal edges through the process of diffraction.

Material Type Possible Signal Reduction

Wood, Plaster, Sheetrock, Fiberglass Uncoated Glass w/out Metal 0 to 10%

Brick, Pressboard 5 to 35% Reinforced Concrete 10 to 90%

Metal Walls, Metal Doors, Elevators, Metal Piping, Metal Stair Cases, Metal Mesh, Metal Screening 90 to 100%

Figure 5.3 Materials in Buildings

In a non-line-of-sight situation at 2.45 GHz, it is possible to move the receive antenna only 1 to 1 1/2" (3 to 4 cm) and see signal strength varies from 6 dB to -20 dB due to multiple signal reflection path. Therefore, there should be about 20 dB path loss margin to take signal fading into account.

5.4 Casing and Closure Around the Antenna

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

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

1. To avoid interference from WiFi / IEEE 802.11, one could consult the figure below to choose the best channel through the Configuration webpage. In all, channels 15, 20, 25 and 26 are not overlapping with any WiFi / IEEE 802.11 bands in the United States while channels 15, 16, 21 and 22 can be used in Europe.

Figure 5.4 Channels

2. It is possible that IEEE 802.15.4 devices experience interference from Wi-Fi / IEEE

802.11 and Bluetooth devices and certain microwave ovens. Therefore, it is worth locating nodes as far as possible to minimize effect. Note that international radio regulations which govern radio equipment ensure that cell phones use their allocated band only. It is highly unlikely that cell phones will interfere with IEEE 802.15.4 equipment.

3. In some cases, a short RF cable may be used to connect an antenna to your device. Please note that RF extension cables will always add some loss to the transmitting signal strength. The longer the cable the more signal will be lost over that cable. Therefore, the length of the cable should be kept as short as possible. Also, note that use of any other antenna other then what’s shipped with your device will void FCC and CE regulatory complicance.

4. To achieve satisfactory IEEE 802.15.4 performance in the presence of WLAN interference, a channel center-frequency offset of 7 MHz is recommended.

5. For co-channel operation, a physical separation from the WLAN Access Point (AP) of

26.2’ (8 m) is recommended to achieve a Packet Error Rate (PER) of 1%. For a particularly saturated WLAN link, 29.5’ to 32.8’ (9 to 10 m) may be necessary.

6. To achieve satisfactory IEEE 802.15.4 performance in the presence of Bluetooth interference, a separation distance of 6.5 ‘ (2 m) is recommended.

APPENDIX A GLOSSARY

User of this manual should be familiar with following definitions:

ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) is a protocol for mapping an Internet Protocol address (IP address) to a physical machine address that is recognized in the local network. For example, the IP address in use today is an address that is 32-bits long. In an Ethernet local area network, however, addresses for attached devices are 48-bits long. (The physical machine address is also known as a Media Access Control or MAC address.) A table, usually called the ARP cache, is used to maintain a correlation between each MAC address and its corresponding IP address. ARP provides the protocol rules for making this correlation and providing address conversion in both directions.

Ethernet is a network protocol defined by the IEEE 802.3 standard. Ethernet-based networks use MAC Address rather then IP Address to exchange data between computers. By using ARP and adding TCP/IP support, Ethernet devices may be connected as part of the Internet. An Ethernet LAN typically uses coaxial cable or special grades of twisted pair wires. The most commonly installed Ethernet systems are called 10BASE-T and provide transmission speeds up to 10 Mbps. Devices are connected to the cable and compete for access using a Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection (CSMA/CD) protocol.

IP (Internet Protocol) is the method or protocol by which data is sent from one computer to another on the Internet.

IP address (Internet Protocol address) is a 32-bit number that identifies each sender or receiver of information that is sent in packets across the Internet.

IP Netmask is a 32-bit pattern of bits used to determine which part of the IP address is the network portion and which part is the host portion.

MAC (Media Access Control) Address is your computer's unique hardware number. When you're connected to the Internet from your computer, a correspondence table relates your IP address to your computer's physical (MAC) address on the LAN.

Ping is a utility that tests the network connectivity. It is used to determine if the host is capable of exchanging information with another host.

Port number/Socket number is a way to identify a specific process to which an Internet or other network message is to be forwarded when it arrives at a server. It is a predefined address that serves as a route from the application to the Transport layer or from the Transport layer to the application of the TCP/IP system.

Sockets are a method for communication between a client program and a server program in a network and defined as "the endpoint in a connection". Information transferred across the Internet primarily occurs between sockets.

TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) is the basic communication language or protocol of the Internet. When you are set up with direct access to the Internet, your computer is provided with a copy of the TCP/IP program just as every other computer that you may send messages to or get information from also has a copy of TCP/IP. TCP/IP often is used as a general term to indicate generic access to the Internet.

Appendix B IP Address

An IP address is a unique 32-bit address assigned to a computer and includes:

• A network ID number identifying a network.

• A host ID number identifying a computer on the network.

All IP addresses have been divided into three smaller groups (classes) A, B and C

• Class A addresses have 8-bits of network ID and 24-bits of host ID. They can support

a large number of hosts, approximately 2 = 16,777,216 computers per network.

The IP addresses range in binary from 00000001.xxxxxxxx.xxxxxxxx.xxxxxxxx

to 01111111.xxxxxxxx.xxxxxxxx.xxxxxxxx

The IP addresses range in decimal from 1.x.x.x to 127.x.x.x

Class A network ID’s support a very large number of hosts.

• Class B addresses have 16-bits of network ID and 16-bits of host ID. They can

support approximately 216= 65,536 computers per network.

The IP addresses range in binary from 10000000 00000000.xxxxxxxx.xxxxxxxx

to 10111111 11111111.xxxxxxxx.xxxxxxxx

The IP addresses range in decimal from 128.0.x.x to 191.255.xxx.xxx

Class B network ID’s support a medium number of hosts.

• Class C addresses have 24-bits of network ID and 8-bits of host ID. They can support

approximately 28= 256 computers per network.

The IP addresses range in binary from 11000000.00000000.00000000.xxxxxxxx

to 11011111.11111111.11111111.xxxxxxxx

The IP addresses range in decimal from 192.0.0.xxx to 223.255.255.xxx

Class C network ID’s support a small number of hosts.

The rest of the addresses are divided into two classes, D and E. Class D networks are not assigned to the host. They are used for multicasting. The address range from 224.x.x.x to 239.x.x.x

Class E networks are experimental or reserved addresses. The address range from 240.x.x.x to 247.x.x.x

Appendix C IP Netmask

IP Netmask or Subnet Mask is a 32-bit pattern of ones and zeros used to determine network portion of an IP address from the host portion of the IP address. Subnet mask is a network ID that is created by borrowing bits from host portion of IP address and using them as part of a network ID. The table below shows a default subnet mask for address Classes A, B, and C. Each bit that is set to "1" in the subnet mask corresponds to the bit in the IP address that is to be used as the network ID. Each bit that is set to "0" in the subnet mask corresponds to a bit in the IP address that is to be used as the host ID.

Address Class Mask Binary Value Mask Decimal Value

or Dotted Notation

Class A 255.0.0.0 Class B 255.255.0.0 Class C 255.255.255.0

If your network requires more network ID’s, you can extend the default subnet mask to include additional bits from the host ID. This allows for additional network ID’s within the network. The table below shows some examples of subnet masks and bits moved from the hosts ID to create a new subnet.

* An example of the status of an End Device

Command: EQNG00A Response: 7 EngrLAB 01000010 2.0

7 is the Device ID (DID) of the End Device. EngrLAB is the name for the End Device.

"01000010" is the bitmap representation of the internal state. The meaning for each bit is described below (bit 7 starts from the left).

Bit 7 shows if the sensor is plugged into the End Device. ‘1’ means there is no sensing device detected.

Bit 6 shows if the communication to the End Device is lost. ‘1’ means there has not been any data received from that particular End Device for 1 minute or 4 times the update rate, whichever is a longer time interval.

Bit 5 shows if there is more than one End Device having the same dip switch configuration. ‘1’ means more than 1 End Device has the same Network ID and Device ID.

Bit 4 shows if there is any pending "identify mode request" command for the End Device. ‘1’ means a "start" command is issued.

Bit 3 not used Bit 2 shows if there is any pending "reset"

command for the End Device. ‘1’ means a "reset" command is issued.

Bit 1 shows the source of power supply to the End Device. ‘1’ means it’s powered by an adapter and ‘0’ means it’s powered by batteries.

Bit 0 shows the operation mode of the End Device. ‘1’ means it is in identification mode and ‘0’ means it is in normal operation mode.

2.0 is version of the firmware in the End Device. Based on the above information, End Device # 7 has not been communicating with the

Coordinator and its power is supplied by an adapter.

Appendix G Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Java applet is not loaded? A: Check Java Setting (icon in Control Panel). Make sure cache is disabled and your

web browser is enabled for Java.

Q: I do not see any readings even if the applet is loaded, what could be wrong? A: 1) Make sure the Coordinator and the End Device have the same Network ID (NID).

2) Check if the battery is still good. You should be able to see the blue LED when you power the End Device on.

3) If the End Device keeps blinking every second after it is powered on, that means it cannot find the Coordinator. Try to adjust the antenna and relocate the End Device according to Section 5.1.

Q: What are the error messages that appear on the "Reading", "Chart", and "Diagnostic" pages?

Open A: It means that the End Device cannot detect any of its sensors.

Check the connections for the internal sensor and the external probe if any.

ID A: It means that there are more than one End Device sharing the same Device ID (DIP

switches #1-5). Remember, each sensor should have a unique Device ID in the same wireless network.

Turning the device into Identify Mode may help searching for the physical location of such End Devices. Once the problem is resolved, click on the "Reset Sensor" button located on the Sensors Parameters page to remove the "ID" error code.

Lost A: It means that the End Device found the Coordinator when it was powered on, but it

cannot communicate with it currently. Make sure the Coordinator and the End Device have the same Network ID (NID). Also,

make sure the Coordinator is powered on, the IEEE802.15.4 communication channel is unchanged, DIP switch #1 (of the 8-DIP switch row) on the Coordinator was ON during the last Coordinator’s power reset, and there is no obstructive objects blocking the communications path (see Section 5 for more details). If the obstructive object is only temporary, you will get the sensor readings once the path is open.

Q: Nothing happens when I click on the Data Logging button, what could be wrong? A: The Java policy file is not setup properly. Make sure you get a Java policy file and

copy it to a folder in the host computer. Then input the java runtime argument in Java Setup (Control Panel) with the appropriate path to the policy file. Close all web browser and re-open the applet again. See Java Setup Section.

Appendix G Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) (continued) Q: The Chart trend line for all the variables are broken, what could be wrong?

A: It indicates that a TCP connection to the Coordinator was timed-out and no data was

obtained. Make sure the Coordinator is still on in the network and powered up. If there are too many broken lines, it may indicate that the network load is too heavy.

Q: The trend line for one of my sensors inside one End Device is broken, what could be wrong?

A: It indicates that TCP connection to the Coordinator is good but the Coordinator did not have any readings from the corresponding End Device. Make sure End Device is still blinking according to the update rate. It could be caused by a reset/power cycling of the Coordinator as well.

Q: Nothing happens when I click on the Save Current Graph button, what could be wrong?

A: The Java policy file is not setup properly. Make sure you get a Java policy file and copy it to a folder in the host computer. Then input the java runtime argument in Java Setup (Control Panel) with the appropriate path to the policy file. Close all web browser and re-open the applet again. See Java Setup Section.

Q: Nothing is shown inside the Diagnostic page/applet, what could be wrong? A: The first thing you want to try is to click your mouse right inside the box. Then

minimize and restore the web browser. Try to move the scrollbar as well. If nothing works after about a minute, check the TCP connection to the Coordinator.

Q: The End Device repeatedly makes 4 blinks every 2 seconds and then goes off for 3 minutes, what does this mean?

A: It is equivalent to getting a "Lost" message in the Java applets. It means that the End Device found the Coordinator when it was powered on, but it cannot communicate with it currently. Make sure the Coordinator and the End Device have the same Network ID (NID). Also, make sure the Coordinator is powered on, the IEEE802.15.4 communication channel is unchanged, the first DIP switch (of the 8-DIP switch row) on the Coordinator was on during the last Coordinator’s power reset, and there is no obstructive objects blocking the communications path (see Section 5 for more details). If the obstructive object is only temporary, you will get the sensor readings once the path is open.

Q: While the End Device is up and running I notice a sequence of blinking patterns that seem to repeat themselves, what could be wrong?

A: It means that the End Device needs several retransmissions before getting an acknowledgement packet back from the Coordinator. This indicates a reduced performance since more retransmissions required. Retransmissions consume power and cause shorter battery lifetime. Adjust the antenna and relocate the End Device for better communications. See Section 5 for more details.

Appendix H Warnings and Regulatory Information

In order to comply with FCC radio frequencies (RF) exposure limits, dipole antennas should be located at a minimum 7.9

This device complies with part 15 rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and

2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits of a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a residential environment. This equipment generates, uses, and radiates radio frequency energy, and if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur. If this equipment does cause interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to correct the interference by one of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase separation between the equipment and receiver.

• Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from which the receiver is connected.

• Consult dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician

The following alert sign indicates that there are restrictions on usage of the equipment in regards to power limitations on Equivalent Isotropic Radiated Power (EIRP) levels in the European Community.

" (200mm) or more from the body of all persons.

The following are user restrictions:

• Wideband Data Transmission Systems on the band 2400 – 2483.5 MHz in Europe is limited to a Maximum of 10 mW (10dBm) for Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS). See Annex 3 of ERC/REC 70-03, decision ERC/DEC/ (01)07.

• Combinations of power levels and antennas resulting in a radiated power level above 10 mW - EIRP for Direct Sequence Spectrum (DSSS) devices are considered as not compliant, and are not allowed for use within the European Community and other countries that have adopted the European R&TTE directive 1995/5/EC or the CEPT recommendation ERC/REC 70-03 or both.

• The users in Europe are instructed to change the default 20 dBm level to 10 dBm via the Web Interface of the Coordinator. The End Devices will follow the power level set on the Coordinator upon power-up; failure to change the default U.S.A. power level setting will violate the regulations requirements for Europe

Appendix I Sensor Information

I.1 Accuracy

Figure I.1 Figure I.2

RH Accuracy Chart Temperature Accuracy Chart

Accuracies are tested at Manufacture’s Outgoing Quality Control at 25°C (77°F) and 3.3V. Values exclude hysteresis and non-linearity, and is only applicable to noncondensing environments.

I.2 Operating Conditions

Sensor works stable within recommended normal range – see Figure. Long term exposures to conditions outside normal range, especially at humidity >80%RH, may temporarily offset the RH signal (+3 %RH after 60h). After return to normal range it will slowly return towards calibration state by itself. See Section I.4 “Reconditioning Procedure” to accelerate eliminating the offset. Prolonged exposure to extreme conditions may accelerate ageing. Figure I.3 Normal Range

Appendix I Sensor Information (continued)

I.3 Storage Conditions and Handling Instructions

It is of great importance to understand that a humidity sensor is not a normal electronic component and needs to be handled with care.

Chemical vapors at high concentration in combination with long exposure times may offset the sensor reading. For these reasons it is recommended to store the sensors in original packaging including the sealed ESD bag at following conditions: Temperature shall be in the range of 10°C – 50°C (0 – 80°C for limited time) and humidity at 20 – 60%RH (sensors that are not stored in ESD bags). For sensors that have been removed from the original packaging we recommend to store them in ESD bags made of PE-HD8.

In manufacturing and transport the sensors shall be prevented of high concentration of chemical solvents and long exposure times. Out-gassing of glues, adhesive tapes and stickers or out-gassing packaging material such as bubble foils, foams, etc. shall be avoided. Manufacturing area shall be well ventilated.

I.4 Reconditioning Procedure

As stated above extreme conditions or exposure to solvent vapors may offset the sensor. The following reconditioning procedure may bring the sensor back to calibration state:

Baking: 100 – 105°C at < 5%RH for 10h Re-Hydration: 20 – 30°C at ~ 75%RH for 12h.

(75%RH can conveniently be generated with saturated NaCl solution. 100 – 105°C correspond to 212 – 221°F, 20 – 30°C correspond to 68 – 86°F)

I.5 Temperature Effects

Relative humidity reading strongly depends on temperature. Therefore, it is essential to keep humidity sensors at the same temperature as the air of which the relative humidity is to be measured. In case of testing or qualification the reference sensor and test sensor must show equal temperature to allow for comparing humidity readings.

The packaging of sensor is designed for minimal heat transfer from the pins to the sensor. Still, if the sensor shares a PCB with electronic components that produce heat it should be mounted in a way that prevents heat transfer or keeps it as low as possible. Furthermore, there are self-heating effects in case the measurement frequency is too high.

I.6 Light

The sensor is not light sensitive. Prolonged direct exposure to sunshine or strong UV radiation may age the housing.

I.7 Materials Used for Sealing / Mounting

Many materials absorb humidity and will act as a buffer increasing response times and hysteresis. Materials in the vicinity of the sensor must therefore be carefully chosen. Recommended materials are: Any metals, LCP, POM (Delrin), PTFE (Teflon), PE, PEEK, PP, PB, PPS, PSU, PVDF, PVF. For sealing and gluing (use sparingly): Use high filled epoxy for electronic packaging (e.g. glob top, underfill), and Silicone.

Out-gassing of these materials may also contaminate the sensor (see Section I.3). Therefore try to add the sensor as a last manufacturing step to the assembly, store the assembly well ventilated after manufacturing or bake at 50°C for 24h to outgas contaminants before packing.
