1.1 Safety and EMC Considerations

Refer to the CE Approvals 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 configuration software
(iConnect) and datalogging software (iLog) 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 Temperature + Humidity with a Web Browser. The iServer let's you monitor and
record Temperature, Relative Humidity and Dew Point over an Ethernet network or the
Internet with no special software -- just a Web browser. The iServer serves Active Web
Pages to display real time readings and display charts of temperature, humidity and dew
point, or log data in standard data formats for use in a spreadsheet or data acquisition
program such as Excel or Visual Basic.
Adjustable Charts. The Java™ Applet chart scales are fully adjustable on the fly. For
example, the chart can display one day, one week, one month or one year. Temperature
and humidity can be charted across the full span (-40 to 124ºC, and 0 to 100% RH) or
within any narrow range (such as 20 to 30ºC).
SD Flash Memory Card. The iServer comes complete with a removable 2 GB SD Flash
Memory card that can store up to seven years of readings taken at ten second intervals.
The data is recorded on widely available SD (Secure Digital) flash cards. The format is a
simple text file that is easily imported to spreadsheets and other programs. It can be read
on a PC or MAC with a USB card reader. You can also download the data remotely over
an Ethernet network or the Internet.
Installation and operation of the iServer requires no special training, tools, or software.
The device connects to any Ethernet network with standard cable and is powered by a
universal 100 to 240 Vac adapter which is supplied with the product.
Back-up Battery. The iSD comes with a universal 100 to 240 Vac power adapter. A
standard 9 Volt Alkaline battery (also included) allows the device to continue recording
data for 60 hours (at one minute interval setting) without external ac power (such as a
power outage).
