Installation/Owner’s Manual

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.

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.

Sensors
A variety of sensors may be used with the EA800-ip console to provide environmental status and information. These
include the following:
■Wired Sensors: Outputs 1 through 4 are for use with sensors wired to the console. Wired sensors can be any
of the following types:
•Low temperature - blue thermistor probe
•High temperature - red thermistor probe
•Ultra low temperature - white thermistor probe
•HA-III+ humidity sensor
•WaterBug®sensor (supervised only)
•Normally Open (N.O.) dry contact
•Normally Closed (N.C.) dry contact
•4-20 mA
■Wireless Sensors: Outputs 5 through 8 are for use with wireless sensors. These sensors transmit to the EA800-ip
console through RF links. Each wireless sensor is hard-coded with an address the console uses to identify the
sensors installed in the system. When you program the system you assign each installed wireless sensor to a
relay using its hard coded address. Wireless sensors can be any of the following types:
•Wireless Humidity Sensor (EA-WHS)
•Wireless Temperature Sensor (EA-WTS)
•Wireless Multi-Function Sensor (EA-WMFS): Any of the following wired sensors can be connected to the
wireless multi-function sensor, effectively converting the wired sensor to wireless:
•Low temperature - blue thermistor probe
•High temperature - red thermistor probes
•Ultra Low temperature - white thermistor probes
•WaterBug®sensor (supervised only)
•Normally Open (N.O.) dry contact
•Normally Closed (N.C.) dry contact
•Wireless Supervision: EA800-ip wireless sensors are fully supervised for both communication drop-out
and low-battery condition. The AUX relay can be configured to give a low-battery indication (see
“Configuring the Relays” on page 34). The wireless sensor's assigned relay will change state if
communication drops out for more than 20 minutes.

Figure 7 4-20mA Sensor Wiring Diagram - External Power Supply
Power Supply / Sensor Voltage Selection
In order to determine the power supply voltage necessary to ensure correct full-scale operation, it is necessary to
identify all voltage drops within the current loop.
Figures 6 and 7 show an EA800-ip drop of 4.0 VDC. This value accounts for the voltage drop generated by
connecting the 4-20mA sensor to the EA800-ip using 1000 feet of 22 AWG wire.
Now it is only necessary to identify the operating voltage range of the 4-20mA sensor, more importantly the
minimum operating voltage. Once identified, the minimum operating voltage of the sensor can be added to the
4.0V voltage drop of the EA800-ip (+ wire) to determine the power supply voltage necessary to ensure correct
full-scale operation.
Example:
■Assume that a 4-20mA sensor whose operating input voltage range is 10 – 30V has been selected for use.
Therefore the minimum operating voltage of the sensor is 10V (Vsensor). When the 4.0V drop of the EA800-ip
(and wire) is added, it can be determined that at least 14VDC is needed to power the loop.
■If the EA800-ip is connected to a 12VDC power supply, use of the sensor in this example requires an external
power supply of at least 14V as shown in Figure 7.
It is important to not exceed the maximum operating voltage of the 4-20mA sensor, as specified within the sensor’s
product specification.
The following formula provides the basis for the selection matrix shown in Table 7. Please use Table 7 to select
either the proper sensor rating to be used with a known power supply, or select a power supply for a known sensor
rating.

Sensor Parameter Descriptions
This section provides a description of each sensor parameter.
Table 11 Sensor Parameter Descriptions
Parameter Applicable to Sensors Description
Sensor Name All A name used to identify the sensor in the alarm system. Select a name
readily identified by the viewer. The sensor name is displayed on the
View Sensors screen during a no-alarm condition and on the Alarm
screen during an alarm condition. Two name choice types are available:
• Common Name: These are preprogrammed names.
• Custom Name: This selection allows you to enter any name if the
preprogrammed common names do not adequately identify the sensor
in the system (limited to 16 characters).
Note: Duplicate sensor names are not permitted.
Unit of
Measure • Blue, Red and White temperature sensors
• 4-20mA sensor
• Wireless
temperature sensors
This parameter allows you to choose the unit of measure used for sen-
sor reading and display.
• Blue, Red and White temperature sensors: °C or °F
• 4-20mA sensors: the following Common Units of measure are
available: F (Fahrenheit), C (Centigrade), K (Kelvin), % RH (percent
relative humidity), psi (pounds per square inch), Pa (Pascals), kPa
(kiloPascals), lb (pound), kg (kilogram)
• 4-20mA sensors can also use custom units. Enter the appropriate units
for the connected 4-20mA sensor via the keypad.
Resolution 4-20mA sensor This determines the range that may be used for the 4-20mA sensor. The
full scale range is determined by the values entered in the 4mA Value
and the 20mA Value. You must select the correct resolution in order to
set the true range limits for the 4-20mA sensor you are installing. The
available values are as follows:
Maximum Allowed Maximum Allowed
Resolution 4mA Value 20mA Value
1. -99999. +99999.
0.1 -999.9 +999.9
0.01 -99.99 +99.99
0.001 -9.999 +9.999
4mA Value 4-20mA sensor This parameter equals the environmental reading that results in a sensor
output of 4mA or its minimum valid reading. This is dependent on the
setting of the resolution as discussed above.
20mA Value 4-20mA sensor This parameter equals the environmental reading that results in a sensor
output of 20mA or its maximum valid reading. This is dependent on the
setting of the resolution as discussed above.
Hysteresis • Blue, Red and White
temperature sensors
• HA-III+
• 4-20mA sensor
• Wireless humidity
sensor (EA-WHS)
• Wireless
temperature sensor
(EA-WTS)
The Hysteresis setting helps prevent alarms from being set and reset
continually if the environment is at or near the alarm set point by provid-
ing an acceptable variance. For example, if Hysteresis is set at 2 and the
sensor High limit is set at 50, the sensor reading must decrease to 48
(50 minus 2) in order for the alarm condition to reset to a no-alarm condi-
tion.

Sensors
Low Alarm
Limit • Blue, Red and White
temperature sensors
• HA-III+
• 4-20mA sensor
• Wireless humidity
sensor (EA-WHS)
• Wireless
temperature sensor
(EA-WTS)
The Low Alarm Limit sets the value that trips the low alarm when
exceeded.
High Alarm
Limit • Blue, Red and White
temperature sensors
• HA-III+
• 4-20mA sensor
• Wireless humidity
sensor (EA-WHS)
• Wireless
temperature sensor
(EA-WTS)
The High Alarm Limit sets the value that trips the high alarm when
exceeded.
Alarm Delay
Time All This sets the time period that an alarm condition can exist before the alarm is triggered. This is useful for helping to prevent false alarms from
occurring in situations where normal activities cause conditions to tem-
porarily exceed alarm thresholds. For example, the temperature in a
freezer may temporarily rise above the high alarm limit while frozen food
is being restocked and the freezer door is open, but the delay prevents
the alarm from going off unless the temperature fails to cool below the
alarm threshold within the alarm delay period.
