Introduction
The ADS Spider (ADS part number SPIDER-LC-XX) is an integrated
monitoring, control, and alarm system designed for remote, low-
power applications. It can monitor various inputs, control outputs,
generate alarms, and log data. The Spider is a complete system,
including all necessary software and hardware.
A Spider can be accessed either locally via a direct Ethernet cable
connection or remotely via a modem or by sending and receiving text
messages. Setting up and interrogating a Spider simply involves
viewing pages through any standard web browser.
NOTE: Text messaging may be referenced as SMS (Short Message
Service) in this manual. Therefore, for the purposes of this manual,
these terms are interchangeable. While users in the United States
typically refer to this method of communication or technology as text
messaging, the international community more commonly refers to this
as SMS. References to SMS in this manual generally exist only in the
context of the Spider user interface.
The Spider is suitable for use by system integrators and OEM
applications. It is housed within a compact, plastic enclosure that
mounts to a wall for indoor applications. For outdoor installations, the
unit must be mounted inside a suitable weatherproof enclosure
(provided by the user). ADS also offers a single-box, IP68 (NEMA 6)
weatherproof version of the Spider housed in a stainless steel
enclosure (ADS P/N SPIDER-LP-XX).
