Astron AXH900RP SMA R Reverse Polarity SMA 6.5” Antenna
High Impact ABS enclosure

Description:
The TZR-MA uses an embedded 100-milliwatt frequency hopping wireless modem that provides communication between a local RS485 network and a remote network of RS485 connected devices. The TZR-MA will automatically sense the direction of data flow and switch the RS485 and Radio devices accordingly. The TZR-MA can be placed in a network of RS485 devices and appear as a slave repeater of remote RS485 devices or it can be placed in a network of one or many RS485 slaves and act as the RS485 repeater of a remote master. The radio operates within the 900 MHz ISM Band under Part 15 of the FCC Rules and regulations.

The TZR-MA operates at 19200 Baud at either odd parity or no parity. Dipswitches select parity and one of 7 radio networks. Radios operating together must have the same radio network address (1-7 set by switches labeled A0-A2) Select a different radio network address to prevent interference from nearby networks that are not sharing information. The default radio network for Rooftop applications is 5. The user may choose another network address (1-7) if desired. While all radios in a network must have the same network address they do not have to have the same parity, the parity is local to the RS485 serial port on the TZR-MA only. Parity information is not transmitted or received.

Radio network selection 0(A0, A1, A2 all set to 0)selects a special network setup. When network address setting 0 is selected the pre-programmed radio network parameters are used, these parameters are user and application specific and must be set at the factory for specific OEM applications.

The TZR-MA can also be used as a general purpose RS485 half duplex radio interface operating at 19200 Baud at either odd or no parity (dip switch selectable).

The IQ Server was built with the flexibility needed to satisfy varied user requirements. Conceptually there are several modes of operation that allow the user to balance simplicity, costs, precision, and timeliness.

Monitoring - The easiest way to get information from the IQ Server
is to view the current sensor values.This can be accomplished with a Web browser (no software coding required) or polling by a host.Both alarms and data are available.The following is an example of the dynamic HTML page.

The dynamic HTML page displays on each row the following sensor information: name, serial number, age since last reception, service mode indicator, readings and units.All readings are shown in engineering units. All readings are shown in engineering units. The image to the left is a monitored temperature trend using the new IQware, measuring four temperatures over 24 hours.

Collecting – Snapshots of the current sensor values can be periodically stored in a Historical Log.The snapshots can be retrieved for later analysis. All configured sensors readings are used in the snapshot.The snaps can be taken from once a minute to once every 7 days.The IQ Server can be thought of as a remote data logger.

Concentrating – Key changes in a sensor reading, sensor age or system parameters can trigger records to be logged into an Event Log.The following items can be configured to trigger events: IQ Server startup, Historical Log % full, sensor age, sensor service button, analog I/O high/low thresholds, counter I/O base count and interval, and state change.The IQ Server stores a time stamp with the event.Approximately 1800 events can be stored in the Event Log.Also when an event is triggered, the IQ Server can optionally take a snapshot of the current sensor readings and store it in the Historical Log.

Notifying – Each event can be configured to trigger the IQ Server to notify a host. The IQ Server can notify a host either pushing a connection through the Ethernet (TCP/IP) or placing a phone call through the modem.The host computer then does not need to be always connected and polling the IQ Server .The IQ Server
can inform the host of the exceptions by establishing the connection itself.The IQ Server can be configured to notify up to 5 host destinations trying each destination until the event is confirmed delivered.The IQ Server can also send alarms via SMTP email through the Ethernet.

The IQ Server is a data logger that can be used to store data while the IQ Server is not connected to a host computer.The data-logging feature can be used in dialup modem applications where the connection is temporary and short.The data-logging feature can be used as a backup in case communications is lost through the Ethernet connection.

Both the Historical Log and the Event Log are circular.If either becomes full, the next record will overwrite the oldest record.

CRC16 error checks are added to the simple ASCII commands and response when using the modem or local serial port.

The IQ Server can be easily configurable using ASCII commands.Each sensor can be given a label name and setup information for each I/O IQ such as engineering scale and offset, units label, and alarm trigger information. The IQ Server has a “media callout table” where the user can specify which host destinations the IQ Server is going to call for notification by either modem or Ethernet.The IQ Server can also be configured to callout periodically with interval times from once a minute to once every 7 days.

The IQ Server
has optional security through two levels of login passwords: one for access to data and setup information and the other for changing the setup information.

Notifying – Each event can be configured to trigger the IQ Server to notify a host. The IQ Server can notify a host either pushing a connection through the Ethernet (TCP/IP) or placing a phone call through the modem.The host computer then does not need to be always connected and polling the IQ Server .The IQ Server
can inform the host of the exceptions by establishing the connection itself.The IQ Server can be configured to notify up to 5 host destinations trying each destination until the event is confirmed delivered.The IQ Server can also send alarms via SMTP email through the Ethernet.

The IQ Server is a data logger that can be used to store data while the IQ Server is not connected to a host computer.The data-logging feature can be used in dialup modem applications where the connection is temporary and short.The data-logging feature can be used as a backup in case communications is lost through the Ethernet connection.

Both the Historical Log and the Event Log are circular.If either becomes full, the next record will overwrite the oldest record.

CRC16 error checks are added to the simple ASCII commands and response when using the modem or local serial port.

The IQ Server can be easily configurable using ASCII commands.Each sensor can be given a label name and setup information for each I/O IQ such as engineering scale and offset, units label, and alarm trigger information. The IQ Server has a “media callout table” where the user can specify which host destinations the IQ Server is going to call for notification by either modem or Ethernet.The IQ Server can also be configured to callout periodically with interval times from once a minute to once every 7 days.

The IQ Server
has optional security through two levels of login passwords: one for access to data and setup information and the other for changing the setup information.

Description:
The TZR-MAD uses an embedded 100-milliwatt frequency hopping wireless modem that provides communication between a local RS485 network and a remote network of RS485 connected devices. The TZR-MAD will automatically sense the direction of data flow and switch the RS485 and Radio devices accordingly. The TZR-MAD can be placed in a network of RS485 devices and appear as a slave repeater of remote RS485 devices or it can be placed in a network of one or many RS485 slaves and act as the RS485 repeater of a remote master. The radio operates within the 900 MHz ISM Band under Part 15 of the FCC Rules and regulations.

The TZR-MAD operates at 19200 Baud at either odd parity or no parity. Dipswitches select parity and one of 7 radio networks. Radios operating together must have the same radio network address (1-7 set by switches labeled A0-A2) Select a different radio network address to prevent interference from nearby networks that are not sharing information. The default radio network for Rooftop applications is 5. The user may choose another network address (1-7) if desired. While all radios in a network must have the same network address they do not have to have the same parity, the parity is local to the RS485 serial port on the TZR-MAD only. Parity information is not transmitted or received.

Radio network selection 0(A0, A1, A2 all set to 0)selects a special network setup. When network address setting 0 is selected the pre-programmed radio network parameters are used, these parameters are user and application specific and must be set at the factory for specific OEM applications.

The TZR-MAD can also be used as a general purpose RS485 half duplex radio interface operating at 19200 Baud at either odd or no parity (dip switch selectable).
