product description
The TM3 Monitoring Unit is a generic environmental monitoring system, capable of interfacing to various
sensors and communicating sensor status on Ethernet (web based), GSM and SNMP. Sensors which can be
connected include NTC temperature sensors, flood sensors, dry contacts and third party 4-20mA sensors.
introduction
The unit can be congured through the web interface and by SMS. Temperature Thresholds can also
be congured on the front panel keypad interface. Sensor levels and thresholds, alarm descriptions,
alarm proles, contact details and communication data are congurable on the unit.
The TM3 Unit is capable of logging alarms and analogue sampled data which can be viewed from the
web interface. Images from a network enabled camera can be viewed on the web interface. Two
onboard relays for controlling external devices and a 12Vdc and 18Vdc power supplies are available on
the unit. The unit has battery backup capability during mains power failure. Onboard SD card saves all
programmed information. In the event of a unit failing the SD card is removed from the faulty unit and
inserted into a new unit and the TM3 is ready to monitor.

C
Caution: Only connect approved devices to ports on the unit as directed in this manual. Plugging in other
devices may result in equipment damage.
N
Note: Install the appliance in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature specied
in “Specications” on page 54. Units installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly can experience a
greater operating ambient temperature than the ambient room temperature.
N
Note: Install the unit in a way that allows sufcient airow for safe operation.
N
Note: When you install the unit in the rack, be sure that you do not create a hazardous condition due to
uneven mechanical loading. For example, do not use the unit as a shelf.
N
Note: When you install the GSM antenna, be sure that you have good GSM reception. Install the antenna
preferably outside the rack assembly for improved reception.
