Congratulations! on your purchase of the TPDIN-Monitor-WEB
PowerSens™ System Monitor. Please take a moment to review
this Qwik Install Guide before installation.
Recommended Tools and Supplies: Small Flat Blade Screwdriver, 35mm x 7.5mm DIN Rail
Qwik Install
STEP 0: The TPDIN-Monitor-WEB can be used to monitor Qty 4 1V-
80V Voltages, 4 Currents ( Qty 2 +/- 10A and Qty 2 +20A) and two temperatures (1 internal and 1 external). There are 4 10A relays that can be
used to control power to 4 devices. Two of those relays can be automatically set based on a temperature or voltage value. Two can be operated automatically based on a ping watchdog or time control.
STEP 1: Install the TPDIN-Monitor-WEB to a suitable DIN rail mount.
STEP 2: Connect the voltages to be monitored to the V1—V4 voltage
ports. The green connector needs to be removed to be able to access
the wire terminal screws. The green connectors are numbered 1-7 and
should be re-installed back in their proper position. Voltages between 1
and 80volts DC can be monitored.
STEP 3: Connect the currents to be monitored to the I1-I4 current ports.
I1 and I2 can read currents from 0.1 to 20A. I3 and I4 can read positive
or negative currents to +/-10A. These can be used to measure current
flowing into and out of a battery to see if the battery is charging or discharging. The green connectors may need to be removed to be able to
access the wire terminal screws. The green connectors are numbered
1-7 and should be re-installed back in their proper position.
STEP 4: Connect any power to devices you want to be under relay con-
trol to the CHI—CH4 relays. The relays are normally closed relays so
activating the relay will open the relay.
STEP 5: Connect the External Temperature sensor to the included
green wire terminal connector. Connect the wires to IN– and IN+ terminals. Plug the wire terminal connector to the “Temp.” connector location. Locate the external temperature sensor where you want to measure external temperatures. You can extend the wire lengths if desired
by soldering additional wires to the existing wires. You can measure
temperatures from –40C to +125C
STEP 6: The TPDIN-Monitor-WEB can be powered with 10-58VDC thru
wire terminal connector #7 or via 802.3af or Passive 48V POE thru the
RJ45 POE/DATA port.
STEP 7: Download the Discovery Tool from http://tyconpower.com/
Support/support_TPDIN-Monitor-WEB.htm . The TPDIN-Monitor-WEB
ships with IP addressing by DHCP enabled. The discovery tool will find
the IP address of the device so you can access the web control panel. If
not connected to a DHCP server the default IP address is 192.168.1.2
STEP 8: Open the Web control panel of the unit by using the discovery
tool or typing the units known IP address into a browser. The unit will
serve up the Monitor web page. The monitor page is where all the voltage, current, temperature and relay status can be seen. Relays can
also be controlled manually from this page. There is a cycle button by
the relays if you want to automatically cycle a relay from on to off and
back. The cycle delay is specified on the SYSTEM page.
STEP 9: Open the Network Page. Here you can set a static IP Address.
You can also set access security by entering a user name and password (10 characters max). You can also set a unique Host Name to
identify the Monitor.

STEP 10: Open the System Page. You should add meaningful labels to
all the Voltages, Currents, Relays and Temperatures that you are using.
You can also change various settings on this page.
Relays: Relays are normally closed to save power when “on”. If you
want them to be initially open at power-up, check the box that says
“Initial Off”.
Cycle Delay: This controls how long the relay stays in the opposite
state when cycle is clicked on the Monitor Screen.
Voltage, Current and Temp Offsets: You can enter + or –offset values
if you want to calibrate the TPDIN-Monitor-WEB to match another piece
of measurement equipment or compensate for cable losses.
Log Interval: This sets the number of seconds between log readings.
The log can store 1300 data sets. If this is exceeded the oldest records
will be discarded as new records are entered. Note: If set to 0 the logging of data is disabled and the graphs and some other functions won’t
work.
Time: There is no real time clock so if the device loses power the clock
will reset. Enable NTP to get the time automatically from the internet.
Set GMT for your time zone. Or you can sync the clock manually to
your PC Time by disabling NTP.
