Omega WI8XX-U - Manual (Page 9)

1.3 Description (continued)
The wireless sensors transmit up to four hundred feet 400’ (approx. 120 meters--
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. The wiSeries Meter Scanner & Controller can monitor up to
eight (8) wireless sensors.
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 temperature from thermocouples, RTD’s, and
infrared temperature sensors.
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).
