2 Overview of the device
IMSE UltraBase is a general device for controlling and monitoring buildings, systems or facilities. It
is configured to do a certain task and connects to sensors, actuators and other devices. This manual
requires that the device is configured and installed in a facility.
The device’s user interface is web‑based, which means that the device is available through a web
browser. As a complement you have IMSE Ultra OP, a text‑based operator panel that can be con‑
nected to a control unit locally.
When browsing the device’s URL or IP number, you will be see a login window. The person who config‑
ures the device sets up users and passwords and gives the user a user level. You can also select which
language you want to use. The device has been tested to work with the latest versions of Firefox and
Chrome.
Factory default the system has following users:
User name Password User level
view ab12 View
operator cd34 Operator
config ef56 Configurator
They should be deleted or have changed passwords before connecting the device to the Internet.
For each user, there is the possibility to set automatic logout when the user has been inactive. This
setting is found under Users
The user level View allows the user to view the user interface, but not to changeanything. An Operator
may change settings and is intended for those who will take care of the facility. A Configurator has
full rights, can configure the whole device, upgrade the soware, restore backups, and more.
Warnings when logging in!
The first time you log in to an Ultra, you will be warned that the connection is not private, or similar.
This is because the HTTPS that is being used in the system is a secure and encrypted connection. The
security is guaranteed by a certificate, which needs to be issued for a specific IP number. Since the
IP address is adjustable, there is no certificate for the unit. You need to add this exception. The
procedure diers depending on which browser you are currently using.
When you log in you will come to a homepage. The start page can consist of a overview or a summary
created by the person who configured the system. The purpose is that you quickly can read values
8

of interest or make settings using these overviews and summaries. If there are no overviews or sum‑
maries, the list of active alarms will appear on the homepage. Under the menu System and Settings
you can choose what you want to see at the homepage.
There are four buttons up in the interface:
The bell indicates if there are any active alarms in the system, the icon with multiple bells indicates if
there are any active alarms for any companions and the letter shows if there are any new notes. The
hand indicates that there are manually overridden channels, and is only shown if there are. By clicking
on these, you will be directed to more detailed information.
On the le side there is (usually) a node tree with more overviews and summaries. Click in it in order
to change overview or summary.

2.3 Connect a PC directly to IMSE UltraBase
If your Ultra is not connected to a network you have access to, you can connect a computer di‑
rectly to the Ultra. On the front, to the right, there is an Ethernet port labelled LOCAL PC. It can
be used to connect a network cable directly to your computer. You can then go to the address
https:\192.168.142.1.
The LOCAL PC port has a DHCP server. It automatically provides a connected PC network setting so
that you can access the web pages directly without manually changing settings. This means that you
should never connect this port to a network.
The port is slower than the one labelled ETHERNET and should only be used to configure the regular
network connection.
The Ethernet port for regular network connection is on the top le. There are two LEDs for the port.
LINK shines yellow when the Ultra is connected to a network and LAN flashes green when there is
communication on the network.
On the front of an UltraBase30 there is place for a SD card. See chapters Updates and Backup on
SD‑card for more information on how to use this.

3 Overviews
Overviews are pictures created of an installation with important values so you can quickly and easily
see the status of the installation.
This chapter will explain how overviews work and how they can be used.
3.1 How To Use
An overview provides a schematic image of a system since it can be customized to how your installa‑
tion looks like.
An overview is created with the overview tool (located under the menu Configuration,Overviews).
The overview consists of values, symbols and graphs which show current values (updated every 3rd
second).
Values have dierent view alternatives. They can be viewed as an animated image or as an image
who change it appearance when a resource reaches a certain value. For example, an active alarm can
change the color of a channel value.
13

Click on a resource to change settings, see alarm limits and more depending on resource type.
If you want to change the start page go to the menu System,Settings.
14

4 Summaries
Summaries are menu pages with added resources to see and edit, such as channels, parameters,
alarms and more. Summaries are created by the person who configured the system.
This chapter will explain how the dierent resources look like in a summary and how they work.
4.1 Channels
Channels handle all the variable data in the unit and have dierent view alternatives. They can be
viewed as a row with name and value, as a graph or as a table. Channels are used for logs and alarm.
15

4.2 Parameters
Parameters are used to store settings and can be both editable and non‑editable. If they are editable
you can set their values.
4.3 Alarms

active, click on it to go to the active alarm list where you can acknowledge it if needed.

Edit will take you to the timeschedule’s settings.
You can see the time schedule’s current status on the top of the page. To disable a schedule uncheck
the box to the le of its name. The time schedule will not become active until you select the box
again.
The calendar to the le has current date highlighted. Click on a date to see that day’s details and also
details for that week. You can also click on the week view to change which day you will see details for.
Green blocks enables (activates) the resource and red blocks disables (inactivates) the resource. The
red blocks always rule over the green blocks.
The list at the bottom is an overview for all added rules in the timeschedule. The rule’s current status
is located to the right.
