Immediately report any damage to the shipping agent. The carrier will not honor damage claims unless all shipping material is saved for inspection. After examining and removing the contents, save the packing material and carton in the event reshipment is necessary.

Customer Service: If you need assistance, please contact the Customer Service Department nearest you.

Manuals, Software: The latest Operation Manual as well as free configuration software (iConnect), data-logging software (iLog) and Mail Notifier are available at the website

listed on the cover page of this manual or on the CD-ROM enclosed with your shipment.

1.3 Description

The zSeries-VI wireless sensor system provides Web-based monitoring of a broad range of voltage and current measurements.

High performance, high power End Devices in NEMA4 enclosures come with two choices. The AC version (zED-P/-LCD) is powered by a 9 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.

Each End Device supports two channels of differential, bipolar analog signals. Input types including ±0 to100mV, ±0 to 1V, ±0 to 10V and ±0 to 20mA can be selected from the web page and readings are fully scalable to virtually any engineering unit.

The End Devices can be installed in clean rooms, laboratories, museums, computer server rooms, warehouses, and any remote facility. The high power End Devices transmit up to 3280 feet/1000m without obstructions or interference, to a “Coordinator” connected directly to an Ethernet network and the Internet.

1.3 Description (continued)

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 zSeries-VI wireless sensor system 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.

Each zSeries-VI 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 adaptors to operate on any voltage worldwide from 100 to 240 Vac and 50 to 60 Hz. 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-VI system allows you to monitor and record voltage and current over an Ethernet network or the Internet without any special software-just your Web Browser.

The zSeries-VI 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-VI 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-VI system serves Active Web Pages to display real time readings and charts of analog signals. 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-VI 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. Analog signals can be charted across a large span such as -10 to 10V or within any narrow range such as 10mV to 10mV.

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

Server

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

The zSeries-VI 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 analog signals. The browser can also be used to configure the device’s IP address, passwords for access and overall configuration parameters.

Definitions: DID (Device ID): The first 5 DIP switches used to assign a device number

Device. NID (Network ID): The last 3 DIP switches used to assign a unique network number to a

network of a Coordinator and End Device(s). PID (Personal Network ID): The sum of the Network ID (NID) and 13106 (0x3332). The

PID as defined by IEEE for 802.15.4 standard is an identifying factor for separating

802.15.4 wireless networks to avoid overlapping and allow interoperability. Once the End Devices and the Coordinator start communicating, make sure to push

DIP switch #1, located on the back of the Coordinator to the ON position. This will lock the Coordinator on the same channel it initially established the connection.

It’s a good practice to record NID and DID numbers on designated labels placed on the Coordinator and End Devices, see Figure 2.1 and 2.4.

To set the Coordinator to factory default settings:

1) Slide DIP switch #2 to ON position.

2) Power the Coordinator on and wait about 10 seconds until the Coordinator fully boots up.

3) Set the DIP switch #2 back to OFF position (it does not matter if the Coordinator is powered ON or OFF, just make sure that the DIP switch is set to OFF, otherwise, every time the unit is power-cycled the factory settings will take over).

2.7 Network Communication Interfaces

2.7.1 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.

WIRE ENTRY

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.

Use straight through cable for connecting the Coordinator to an Ethernet hub. The

ports on the hub are already crossed.

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 2.4.

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-VI 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.
