Activate the Meter
The iTrixx Hour Meter software has two separate hour counters with independent triggers. The hour counters may be activated in a
number of different ways.
1. In the simplest setup the METER may be activated whenever power is applied to the unit. In this case, if the SERVER is on, it is
counting. A voltage threshold is provided so the SERVER may stop counting as power is lost to prevent memory corruption. In this
way, you only need to connect the SERVER to the same power source of the equipment you wish to collect running data, no other
wiring required.
2. You may also use one of the inputs to turn counting on and off. There are two digital inputs in the SERVER. The digital inputs allow
the SERVER to detect an external on/off state of a sensor.
3. Alternatively, it can be configured to follow one of the relays such that when the relay is activated the SERVER will count. There
are two relay outputs and are simply numbered "OUT1" and "OUT2" on the SERVER. These relays are dry contact relays, normally
open/normal close options.
Most common use case is to wire a sensor to a digital input to the same power source of your SERVER to trigger the meter, so when
your equipment is on, the meter is counting.
Wiring the Server
Note: For a diagram showing the location of all connectors on your SERVER referenced in this section, please see the Board Layout
Reference below.
Board Layout Reference
11
1. Relay outputs: 2 relay outputs, signal relay, 1 Form C, 1A @ 30VDC, #2 on the left
2. Voltage output: This is used to drive external devices such as a sensor. The voltage supplied depends on what power source
is used to power the ULTRA SERVER.
3. Digital inputs: 2 digital inputs, 5VDC-48VDC (24VDC-48VDC must use the external resistor), #2 on the left
4. Analog inputs: 2 analog inputs, isolated, #2 on the left
5. CAN inputs (software not yet implemented)
6. Digital input switches: IN2 on the on the left; Up position –Pull-up (PU), Down position - Isolated (ISO)
7. Reset button
8. Reload button
9. RJ 45 connector
10. USB mini connector for temperature/humidity sensor (Sold separately)
11. Power input (12VDC-24VDC/USB(5V)
Caution: These units are ground isolated. Always connect so that power loop is only connected to the SERVER unit. Do NOT use
external ground connections. Doing so may damage the SERVER or POE originating device.
Power Connection
The SERVER power input is a Micro USB connector and marked as POWER on the enclosure. Connect the 12VDC power
supply to a suitable AC outlet and connect the barrel connector into the Micro USB connector, plus the other side of the
USB connector to the SERVER at the location labelled POWER, or you can use a USB cable to connect it to your computer
to power it on and find out the IP address from your network. Alternatively, you may also use POE. At this point the
GREEN/Boot LED should come on and start flashing indicating the SERVER is operating and is in the "Bootload Mode".
This mode allows the user to update the server software that is used on the unit. After about 5 seconds, the GREEN LED
will go off and the RED LED will start blinking once per second indicating the SERVER is operating in "Server Mode" and is
accessible on a network utilizing TCP/IP protocols.
Network Connection
Plug the Ethernet cable into the NET connector, the “Connection" LED on the Ethernet connector side will come on if you connect to
network switch and a 100MHz network is available, otherwise it will remain off and the "Activity" LED should start blinking indicating
network activity.
CAUTION: WHEN YOU USE POE NETWORK SWITCH, DO NOT USE THE 12VDC POWER SUPPLY TO POWER THE SERVER AT THE
SAME TIME, IT WILL DAMAGE THE BOARD.
Relay Connection
The SERVER has 2 signal Relays (1 Form C, 1A @ 30VDC) with push-in spring connectors and are simply numbered OUT "1" and "2".
These are dry contact relays. The Ultra 300 units are designed for only low voltage control and should not have a voltage applied to
the relay greater than 30 volts. This is for your safety as well as to stay within the parameters of the parts and circuit board design.

The relays have 3 terminals labelled NO, C and NC which stand for Normally Open, Common and Normally Closed. When activated,
the relay moves the connection from C-NC to C¬NO. If you want to make a connection when the relay is activated, connect your
wires between C and NO. When the relay is activated C and NO will be connected together. If you want to break a circuit when the
relay is activated, make your connections to C and NC. When the relay is activated, the circuit will be broken (or open)
Voltage Output Connection
The SERVER has a voltage output that can be used to drive external devices. The voltage depends on what power source is used to
power the ULTRA SERVER. When USB is used the voltage out is 5V, when POE is used it's 12V out, when an external power supply is
used it is the same voltage as the power supply. There is always a small voltage drop and it is limited to 50mA. This is useful when
using the output to trigger a relay, or power a sensor. For higher voltage or higher current than our internal relay can handle, wire
the positive side of your external device to the "Voltage/+" terminal, negative to "-" terminal.
Digital Input Connection
There are two digital inputs on the SERVER with push-in spring connectors, labeled as IN1 and IN2 on the enclosure. Each input has 2
terminals, marked as C A [C-cathode (-), A-anode (+)].
The digital inputs allow the SERVER to detect an external on/off state of a sensor. With this information the SERVER can display
whether an input is on or off, count events in a resettable or non-resettable counter, and calculate the frequency (such as for use as
a tachometer) or the period of the input. There are two modes of operation for the digital inputs - PULL UP and ISOLATED.
•PULL UP mode connects a 1K resistor to an internal voltage allowing you to use a simple switch (such as a magnetic door
switch) across terminals 1 and 2. This when the switch is activated a signal is sent to the input.
•ISOLATED mode allows you to directly drive the Ultra's optoisolator with an external voltage though an internal 1K resistor.
This voltage may be in the range of 5V to 24V supplying a minimum of 2mA or a maximum of 30mA to the optoisolator
diode. There is no other internal connection to this voltage so it is an isolated input.
These modes are selected by the switch on the SERVER (see Board Layout Reference), put the switch to down position for ISO and
up position for PU. These are set at the factory to ISO (down) by default.
Caution: If you intend to use isolated mode, verify input switch is set to ISO before applying an external voltage. Doing otherwise
may damage the Ultra or POE originating device.
Analog Input Connection
The analog inputs allow the SERVER to read the value of external equipment. There are 2 analog inputs on the SERVER with push-in
spring connectors, labeled as AN1 and AN2 on the enclosure. Each input has 1 terminal. To wire a 2-wire analog sensor to the server,
wire the data wire to the analog input, ground wire to GND terminal. If your analog sensor comes with 3 wires, wire the data wire to
the analog input, ground wire to GND terminal, power wire to the Voltage/+ terminal.
13
The 2 analog input terminal blocks are connected to non-isolated 0-5V current sensors which may be connected to a variety of
devices such as temperature or pressure sensors. The SERVER provides a ground and power connection so that measurements can
be made without external voltage references. You should use a sensor that is isolated so that the it makes no connection to a
remote ground.
Accessing the SERVER
Once your SERVER is powered on and connected to the network, it will automatically obtain an IP address via DHCP as long as your
router is configured to do so. To connect, enter the IP address into your web browser. This will take you to your SERVER’s landing
page. To log in, click the Log In button on the top right of the page. Your browser will prompt you to enter your username and
password. By default, these credentials are both set to admin. To find your Ultra’s IP address, see below.
Finding your IP Address with Linortek Discoverer
The Discoverer program will automatically locate your SERVER. The Discoverer is a Java program, and requires Java Runtime to be
installed to use this feature. Java can be found here: http://java.com/en/download/index.jsp.
To download the Discover program, please go to: https://www.linortek.com/downloads/support HYPERLINK
"https://www.linortek.com/downloads/supportprogramming/"programming/
Use of Chrome & Firefox browsers is recommended. Please note: If you prefer to use Internet Explorer, Internet Explorer saves
Linortek Discoverer as a Zip file by default. In order to use the Discoverer, you will need to select Save as and rename the file as
Linortek Discoverer.jar when you download.
When downloading the Discover program, sometimes you will see a popup warning message depending on your browser security
settings, asking if you want to keep or discard this file, please click the Keep button as this is a Java program, it won't harm your
computer.
Once Discoverer locates your device, it will display:
•IP Address
•Host Name
•MAC Address
•Other Info:
•Blue LED (if it’s ON)
•Product name
•Server Software Revision
•Port Number (If ported)
14
Click the device you want to use shown on the Discoverer program to launch the SERVER’s web pages in your browser. Click the
Login button on the homepage. Default username/password is: admin/admin. You may change these as you desire or disable this
feature in the settings menu.
Finding the IP address by connecting to USB port on Your PC
If there is no way to run The Discoverer app you can find the SERVER’s IP address using any terminal emulator. Connect your SERVER
to the USB port on your PC using Device’s ‘POWER’ input. Open any terminal emulator you prefer and set your COM port to Serial
(You can find your COM port number under Device Manager), open the window and type netinfo command. You will get your Ultra’s
IP address.
Connecting your SERVER directly to Your PC
You can also plug your SERVER directly to your PC in the case there is no network connection available. If you plug your SERVER to
your PC’s Ethernet port it will use the default IP address: 169.254.1.1 unless you have previously configured your SERVER to use a
static IP. Enter 169.254.1.1 into your web browser to connect. No internet connection required. Once configured, you can then
install your Ultra 300 where desired.

Software Configuration
Landing Page
Once you have entered the IP address and port number, if set, the Landing page will open. This page shows the SERVER name of this
server which you may change in Configure/Network Config page.
This page is static with no background activity and is a useful place to park if you are not using the SERVER and do not
want to close the connection.
The Ultra 300 has a different landing page from most Linortek devices. In addition to the normally displayed information, this page
also displays the data from each of the two meters on your device.
By pressing LOGIN, you will be asked for your username and password (default username and password: admin/admin). These
credentials will be retained by the browser until the browser is closed. You can disable the password requirement in Settings –User
and Admin Credentials page.
The landing page displays the following settings:
•Two meters: Each Ultra 300 includes two separate hour meters with independent triggers.
•Each meter can record 999999.99 hours, decimal hours with 1/100 hour (you can change it for 1/10 from Hours page).
•Running indicator: Spins if all conditions are met and counting hours.
Home
Once your login credentials are entered, you will be redirected to the main page of the application. The Home or Index page displays
some of the system information and offers the ability to locate the physical device if it is in an area with others. See list below for
description.

•TIME - Displayed along with the day of the week. This time may be set to be in a 12-hour format with AM/PM indicator or
24-hour format.
•DATE –Current date is displayed here.
•VOLTS –Voltage at the board is displayed. This may be useful if the SERVER is powered along with other equipment, voltage
variance can be noted. The SERVER have an input voltage range of 12-48VDC.
•TEMPERATURE –Temperature on the board is displayed. This display may be either °C or °F. This temperature will be
affected by the heat generated by the SERVER itself so it will always be slightly higher than ambient temperature.
•LEDs - There are 3 LEDs displayed. The RED LED is the system pulse. This should blink about once per second as long as the
server is running. The GREEN LED is used for bootloader options and is generally not visible on the website. The BLUE LED is
clickable and you can turn it on and off from this web page. This is useful for locating the device physically should it be in
use with other similar units as it will illuminate on the unit to which this web browser is connected. The Discoverer program
will also note if the BLUE LED is on. This is often referred to as a "Locate" function.
Services
In/Out Page
The Services tab is dynamic and will change depending on the configuration of your server. This is where you can control the inputs,
outputs, sensors and other specialty controls.
Depending on which SERVER you are using the first page on the SERVICES tab will be either In/Out or Relays., while Relays only has
the relay controls.
17
Select Services –In/Out, the In/Out page is displayed below. The In/Out page has the relay controls and the input controls on one
page. The Ultra 300 SERVER has two relay outputs, two digital inputs and two analog inputs. The relay is named as Relay 1 and Relay
2, digital input is named DIN1 and DIN2, analog input is named AN1 and AN2, you can change the names as desired.

Inputs
The In/Out page will display information from each input, at here you can set the inputs data based on your application.
19
At the top of each input is a label (ex: DIN 1, AIN 2) specifying whether it is a digital input (DIN) or analog input (AIN) as well as the
input number. This label will turn green when the input is enabled. Inside the Box will be any display configured from the Set Input
page (see the pages below for the input setting details). A red dot in the lower-left corner indicating the state of a linked relay (if
any), will turn green when the linked relay is activated. Finally, an Edit icon in the lower-right corner of the box to edit the
corresponding input. This will take you to the Set Digital Input or Set Analog Input page.
Set Digital Input
The Digital Inputs can be set to provide various readouts on using a range of display types. In addition to displaying the input data,
you can name the display as well as associate a relay with it. This relay will change from Green to RED as it goes from on to off as
well as is clickable to control it. By clicking on the edit pencil icon, you can edit the settings for this input:
•Digital Input Selected - The Digital Input that you are editing is identified by the line on which you clicked the Edit icon.
•Name - You can set a 15-character name (use numbers and letters only, no special character) for this input. This name goes
in the bar at the top of the display.
•Label - Set a 7-character label which is displayed on the actual active display.
•Corrector - Using this field you can add, subtract, multiply, or divide a value before the value is shown on the display page.
This is a 2-value corrector with each being separated by a single space character. (ie. "+2, -2, *3, /3")
•USE - Set this input to active. Turns the input number indicator to green. It should be noted that when in use the input
consumes CPU time and other resources depending on its type. Although all inputs may be active at the same time, it is
recommended to turn on only those you want to use.
•Type - The input data can be used to calculate a range of results. You may select:
•State - This is useful for knowing if an input is on or off, like a door switch being on or off.
•CounterNR - This is a non-resettable counter.
•CounterR - This is a resettable counter.
•Frequency - Counts the frequency of an input in KHz (kilo hertz or1/1000 seconds). This could be useful in
displaying a tachometer where 60Hz = 1 R.P.M.
•Period - in 1/1000 seconds an input in kHz (milliseconds or1/1000 seconds). This would be useful for measuring
timed events.
•Display - This selection lets you change the display type used. You can select:
•Dot - A single dot with the value in the middle. This can be used for State. You can make a dumb indicator by
changing the color of the Dot based on the value. The label is under the Dot.
•Values - Displays the Corrected Value with the Label in a box directly below it.
•Meter - This Meter has configurable scale based on the Min/Max values and arcs can be colored per the Color
ranges. The Label is displayed within the Meter.
•VBar - Also based on the Min/Max values for the scale and the bar changes color based on the values in the Color
ranges.
•Relay L/T - Enter a Relay number here. If it is a local relay, it will show Green or RED depending if it is on or off. By clicking
on it the relay will turn on and off. The name comes from the relay settings page. This may be useful if you want to turn the
subject of a display on and off. Any relay can be used on any input and each may be reused for any other input. Adding an L
after the relay number (ex: 2L) will link the state of the input to the state of the relay. This is an easy and immediate way to
have an input follow the relay. Adding a T after the relay number will trigger the relay to the state of the input. This is an
easy and immediate way to have a relay follow the input.
•Command Z/N/I - This field is used for issuing various commands to the Digital Input controller: Z - Zero the resettable
counter. N - Leave the input as Normal. I - Invert the input.
20
•Value - These are Min/Max values used for the display. This is useful for preventing a Meter from going past its end or
setting the value of a VBar. This is the Value after the Corrector. The system cannot display a value past Max so be sure this
is at least set to 1.
•Yellow/Red/Green - There are three colors that can be used to further define a display. Set the range of these colors to
define a color to the display Value. This is the Value after the Corrector. Note that if you are using a State type you may
want to assign RED = From 0 to 0, GREEN = From 1 to 1 and YELLOW = From 2 to 2. Since a State is always either 1 or 0 this
will prevent ambiguous information and prevent the YELLOW color from being used. You can select any two colors you like
for a State type.
Set Analog Input
The Analog Inputs can be set to provide various readouts on using a range of display types. In addition to displaying the input data,
you can name the display as well as associate a relay with it. This relay will change from Green to RED as it goes from on to off as
well as is clickable to control it.
•Analog Input Selected - The Analog Input that you are editing is identified by the line on which you clicked the Edit icon.
•Name - You can set a 15-character name for this input. This name goes in the bar at the top of the display.
•Label - Set a 7-character label which is displayed on the actual active display.
•Corrector - Using this field you can add, subtract, multiply, or divide a value before the value is shown on the display page.
This is a 2-value corrector with each being separated by a single space character. (ie. "+2, -2, *3, /3")
•USE - Sets this input to active. Turns the input number indicator to green. It should be noted that when in use the input
consumes CPU time and other resources depending on its type. Although all inputs may be active at the same time, it is
recommended to turn on only those you want to use.
