Limitations of the Alarm System or Device
While your alarm system or device is reliable and sophisticated, it does not offer guaranteed protection against
burglary, fire or other emergency. Any security product, whether commercial or residential, is subject to
compromise or failure-to-warn for a variety of reasons. These include:
•Individuals may gain access through unprotected openings or have the technical sophistication to
bypass an alarm sensor or disconnect an alarm warning device.
•Monitoring devices will not operate without power. Devices powered by AC will not work if their AC
power supply is off for any reason. If system has battery backup, batteries that are not maintained can
fail to provide the necessary power for devices to function properly.
•Alarm warning devices such as sirens, bells, and horns may not alert people or awaken sleepers if they
are located on the other side of closed or partly closed doors. If warning devices are on a different level
of the residence from the bedrooms, they are less likely to awaken or alert people inside the bedrooms.
•Telephone lines needed to transmit alarm signals from a premises to a central monitoring station may
be out of service, and are subject to compromise by sophisticated means of attack.
•Signals sent by wireless transmitters may be blocked or reflected by metal before they reach the alarm
receiver. Even if the signal path has been recently checked during a weekly test, blockage can occur if
a metal object is moved into the path.
•Even if the system responds to the emergency as intended and is a monitored alarm system, the
authorities may not respond appropriately.
•This equipment, like other electrical devices, is subject to component failure.
•The most common cause of an alarm system not functioning properly is due to inadequate
maintenance. Your alarm system should be tested weekly to make sure all detection devices are
operating properly. Your control panel and keypads should be tested as well.
Installing an alarm system may make you eligible for lower insurance rates, but an alarm system is not a substitute
for insurance. Homeowners, property owners, and renters should continue to insure their lives and property.

General Information
Overview
The EnviroAlert® EA800-ip Multi-Zone Environmental Alarm System monitors the environmental conditions detected
by the sensors connected to the console, and provides alarm signals when monitored conditions at any of the
sensors exceed the user-programmable HIGH LIMIT orLOW LIMIT set points. The alarm signals are provided via
relay outputs that can operate with process controls, security systems, or other similar automated equipment. The
EA800-ip Alarm System can be configured with wired or optional wireless sensors (sold separately).
The EA800-ip allows connection of up to 4wired and up to 8 wireless sensors.
Setup and programming is done using the front panel keys and the liquid crystal display (LCD) on the console.The
display assists the user during setup, and shows measured conditions for the monitored environment during
operation.
The EA800-ip can monitor multiple critical environments using multiple sensor inputs. Each sensor input has a
corresponding relay output.
Using the appropriate accessory sensors (sold separately), the EA800-ip Alarm System monitors and provides
alarms for the following conditions:
■Temperature: from -80° C to 150° C (-112° F to 302° F)
■Humidity: from 5 to 95% RH (non-condensing)
■Presence of water
■Any sensor with a 4-20mA interface
The EA800-ip console may be mounted directly to a standard 3-gang electrical enclosure or to walls. The wireless
sensors are easily mounted to the wall. Figure 1 shows the console and a wireless sensor.

How to Use This Manual
How to Use This Manual
This manual is organized into sections that guide you through the installation process, then describe how to use
the EA800-ip and change its programmed settings if necessary. Some troubleshooting guidelines are provided.
The manual presents EA800-ip programming procedures by showing you the sequence of menus and screens you
will see as you perform the procedure, and the keys to press to advance to the next screen. The example below is
the procedure for unlocking the EA800-ip console to allow programming.
The arrows on the drawing indicate the direction of procedure flow.
In all procedures, use the keys to select menu options and to increase/decrease alphanumeric values for
programming options. Use the PREV and NEXT soft keys (F2 and F3) to move the cursor to the next digit when
entering numeric data.
The functions of the soft keys change and are defined on the screen in the area above each key. If no
text is shown above a soft key, it means the key performs no function on the current screen.
“Keys” on page 10 describes the functions of each key on the console.
Throughout the manual, text that appears on the EA800-ip console screens is shown like this: MONITORING
Key names are shown in text like this: F1
The current menu selection is highlighted on the screen by arrows on either side of
the selection, as shown in the example at right. On this MAIN MENU screen, the
current selection is Sensors.
Use the or keys to move the highlight to the desired menu item, then
press to make the selection.

Block Diagrams
Figure 2 shows a block diagram of the console interfaces and functions. The EA800-ip provides eight relays for
indicating when a programmed alarm limit has been exceeded or a warning condition exists. An additional AUX
(Auxiliary) Output relay provides an output signal to an optional audible alarm or strobe that is activated whenever
an alarm condition exists.
Figure 2 EA800 Environmental Alarm System Block Diagram
The EA800 can be made part of a larger security system as shown in Figure 3. In a security system there may be
more than one EA800 installed along with other components such as the Winland EA200 or EA400 multi-zone
environmental alarm systems.

Monitoring Screens
The EA800-ip user interface is menu-based. During normal system monitoring, one of the following three screens is
displayed depending on the current state of the programmed sensors:
The MONITORING (home) screen is displayed
when there are no active alarms. The screen lists
all programmed sensors connected to the console
and their current reading or state.
The MONITORING screen displays pending alarms
in inverse as shown in the example at right
(76% exceeds the humidity limit for Sensor 5, so it
is shown as light text on black). Pending alarms
indicate that the programmed limits for the sensor
have been exceeded, but the sensor’s pro-
grammed delay time has not yet elapsed. If the
monitored conditions continue to exceed the pro-
grammed limits for longer than the programmed
delay period, the pending alarm will become an
active alarm.
The ACTIVE ALARMS screen is shown when one or
more sensors are in an active alarm or warning
state. If more than one alarm is active, each will
be listed on the screen. In the example shown, a
Cooler #1 alarm is occurring.
