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 RAPHS: 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).

1.3 Description (continued)
DATALO IN : The OPC Server software makes it easy to integrate the wiSeries
wireless sensor system with many popular Data Acquisition and Automation
programs offered by NEWPORT, OMEGA, Wonderware, iConics, Intellution,
Rockwell Automation, and National Instruments, among others.
PRO RAMMABLE COLOR DISPLAY: The wiSeries features patented
programmable color displays. The display can be programmed to change color at
any Setpoint or Alarm point. For example, the meter can be programmed to display
the process value in REEN during warm-up, switching to AMBER to signal the
normal operating range, and in RED to signal an alarm condition. The changes in
color are quickly seen from a distance, and machine operators can intuitively react to
changing conditions. The colors can be programmed to change back when the value
drops back below the alarm point or to "latch" on until being reset by the operator.
The meter can also be programmed to display only one unchanging color: REEN,
AMBER, or RED. This is a useful way to let an operator identify, at a glance, temperature
values in three separate locations, or to display three different measurements.
The following example Figure 1.1 illustrates how you can hookup the Temperature
Wireless System to your network:
The wireless system consists of a single Meter and one or more End Devices /
Transmitters. The End Devices will send data periodically to the Meter where it serves
as a gateway between the users and the End Devices. The users can access the data
through the Meter’s Web Server and provided data acquisition software.
A standard web browser can be used to monitor and chart temperature. The browser
can also be used to configure the meter’s IP address, passwords for access and
overall configuration parameters.

2.1.4.2 Antenna Mounting Instruction
For best reception: connect the antenna directly to the rear of the meter, if the
meter is not installed in a metal panel or enclosure.
If the rear of the meter is behind a metal panel or in a cabinet, use a coaxial
cable to position the antenna outside of the enclosure in the open air.
Use the shortest cable that can reach a suitable location. The antenna on this
Meter and any End Devices should be installed in a vertical position, pointing
towards the sky.
Metallic structure should be kept at least 0.8" (2 cm), although 2.4" (6 cm)
is recommended away from the antenna.
Any casing that encloses the antenna should be plastic. In addition, it is
also wise to avoid plastic case with dark fillers or colorants.
Refer to Section 5 for more Environmental / Operating Conditions.

2.1.5 Electrical Installation
2.1.5.1 Power Connections
Warning: Do not connect ac power to your meter until you have
completed all output connections. This meter must only be installed by a
specially trained electrician with corresponding qualifications. Failure to
follow all instructions and warnings may result in injury!
Connect the main power connections as shown below.
Figure 2.7 Main Power Connections
Table 2.3 Fuse Requirement (See Specifications Section)
For the low voltage power option, in order to maintain the same degree of
protection as the standard high voltage input power units (90 - 240 Vac),
always use a Safety Agency Approved DC or AC source with the same
Overvoltage Category and pollution degree as the standard AC unit (90 -
240 Vac).
The Safety European Standard EN61010-1 for measurement, control,
and laboratory equipment requires that fuses must be specified based on
IEC127. This standard specifies for a Time-lag fuse, the letter code “T”.
The above recommended fuses are of the type IEC127-2-sheet III. Be
aware that there are significant differences between the requirements
listed in the UL 248-14/CSA 248.14 and the IEC 127 fuse standards. As a
result, no single fuse can carry all approval listings. A 1.0 Amp IEC fuse is
approximately equivalent to a 1.4 Amp UL/CSA fuse. It is advised to
consult the manufacturer’s data sheets for a cross-reference.
