1.1 Safety and EMC Considerations

Refer to the CE Approval Section
EMC Considerations
• Whenever EMC is an issue, always use shielded cables.
• Never run signal and power wires in the same conduit.
• Use twisted-pair wires for signal connections.
• Install Ferrite Bead(s) on signal wires close to the instrument if EMC problems persist.
Failure to follow all instructions and warnings may result in injury!

1.2 Before You Begin

Inspecting Your Shipment: Remove the packing slip and verify that you have received
everything listed. Inspect the container and equipment for signs of damage as soon as
you receive the shipment. Note any evidence of rough handling in transit. Immediately
report any damage to the shipping agent. The carrier will not honor damage claims
unless all shipping material is saved for inspection. After examining and removing the
contents, save the packing material and carton in the event reshipment is necessary.
Customer Service: If you need assistance, please contact the Customer Service
Department nearest you.
Manuals, Software: The latest Operation Manual as well as free iServer configuration
software (iConnect), datalogging software (iLog) and Mail Notifier are available at the
website listed on the cover page of this manual or on the CD-ROM enclosed with
your shipment.

1.3 Description

View Barometric Pressure, Temperature + Humidity with a Web Browser.
The iServer transmitter let's you monitor and record Barometric Pressure, Temperature,
Relative Humidity and Dew Point over an Ethernet network or the Internet with no special
software except a Web Browser.
The iBTHX is for barometric pressure, temperature, relative humidity and dew
point. The iBTX is for barometric pressure and temperature. The difference
between the iBTHX and the iBTX is only the probe/sensor.
The iServer serves Active Web Pages to display real time readings, display charts of
barometric pressure, temperature and humidity, or log data in standard data formats for
use in a spreadsheet or data acquisition program such as Excel or Visual Basic.
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 iServer, there is no need to invest time and
money learning a proprietary software program to log or chart the data.
Adjustable Charts: 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 and humidity can be charted across the full span (-40 to 85°C, and 0 to
100% RH) or within any narrow range (such as 20 to 30°C). Barometric Pressure can be
displayed in mbar (hectopascals hPa), millimeters of Mercury (mmHg), or inches of
Mercury (inHg).
Display and Chart Measurements: The iServer transmitters come complete with a barometric
pressure, temperature and humidity probe for measurement of a single location.
