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 or LOW LIMIT set points. The alarm signals are provided via relay outputs that can operate with process controls, security systems, or other similar automated equipment.
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.
General Information 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.
Symbols on the Product or Manual Labeling Symbols on the Product or Manual Labeling Symbols appearing on the product labeling, packaging, and/or in this manual are shown and described in Table 1. Table 1 Symbols on Product or Manual Symbol Definition Attention, consult accompanying documents or statements.
General Information 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.
Keys Keys Figure 4 shows the console display and entry keys. The keys are described in Table 2. Figure 4 EA800-ip Console Keys Table 2 Key Functions Function This key's function changes as determined by the software. Its current function is displayed immediately above the key on the display.
General Information Table 2 Key Functions — continued MENU key: Displays the MAIN MENU screen when pressed from any menu level or from the home screen. SILENCE key: Alarms cannot be cleared and will continue to recur until the moni- tored conditions detected by the sensors are within the programmed parameters.

Installation Verify Wireless Signal Strength After temporarily mounting the wireless sensors in the desired location, verify the signal strength at the console by performing the following procedure to verify the signal strength of each programmed wireless sensor. It may take as long as 30 seconds to acquire the current signal strength.
Adding Wired Sensors Adding Wired Sensors Adding a Wired Sensor The procedure shown below adds a wired blue temperature sensor, but is applicable to other wired sensors as well. The Hysteresis setting helps prevent alarms from being set and reset continually if the environment is at or near the alarm set point by providing an acceptable variance.
Installation Adding a 4-20mA Sensor There are some additional parameters to configure with this type of sensor, including Unit of Measure and Resolution. 4-20mA sensors can be used for monitoring a variety of conditions because the measured value corresponds to a current level, which is configured to represent the conditions being monitored. Follow the steps outlined below to add a 4-20mA sensor.
Configuring the Relays Configuring the Relays When all sensors have been added, you may change the default relay configurations. If the defaults are acceptable, it is not necessary to configure the relays. Perform the following procedure to configure all relays used: Note: The default relay settings are: •...

Viewing Sensor Settings Viewing Sensor Settings You can view the readings of each installed sensor on the MONITORING screen. To view details of a sensor’s programmed settings and current readings on one screen perform the procedure shown below. Note: The MAIN MENU screen shown in the example procedure is displayed when the system is locked. Sensor settings may also be viewed when the system is unlocked.
Operation Viewing the Alarm Log This alarm log is a quick view of the 20 most recent alarms. Up to 100 alarms can be reviewed by selecting Data Log from the MAIN MENU, then selecting View Alarm Log. To review the alarm history and review a specific alarm stored in the log, perform the following procedure.
Viewing the Event Log Viewing the Event Log The EA800-ip Alarm System logs up to 100 events in its Event Log. At the minimum, the following events are logged: System power on: the date and time when the EA800-ip was powered on. ■...
Operation Viewing the Sensor Log The sensor log provides a history of the environmental conditions for all installed sensors at a glance. Up to 100 data sets are stored in the sensor log. To view the sensor log, perform the following procedure: Press arrow keys to scroll up or down through the logged data.
Viewing RF Information Viewing RF Information The ABOUT RF screen displays the EA800-ip console’s MAC address, the RF channel currently in use, the RF communications protocol version, and the RF subsystem’s firmware version. To view the RF settings, perform the following procedure: Note: The firmware revision number shown indicates the firmware version currently installed.
Pausing Monitoring and Cancelling Pause Pausing Monitoring and Cancelling Pause To prevent false alarms when performing maintenance, pause sensor monitoring. Pausing stops monitoring and ignores active alarms for a 30-minute period. When the pause function times out, monitoring automatically starts. To pause the EA800-ip perform the following procedure: Unlock as shown in “Locking and Unlocking the EA800-ip”...
Maintenance Replacing a Sensor The EA800-ip allows you to replace an existing, programmed wireless sensor with another of the same type. When replaced, the original sensor’s programmed settings and parameters are retained and applied to the new sensor. If you need to change settings other than those provided in the Edit Sensor screen, you must delete the existing sensor and then add the replacement sensor.
Editing Sensor Parameters Editing Sensor Parameters The general procedure for editing sensor parameters is provided below. Not all sensor parameters can be edited for an installed sensor. The editable parameters are dependent on the installed sensor, so the EDIT SENSOR screen varies according to the sensor selected.
Maintenance Deleting a Sensor To delete a sensor perform the following procedure: Unlock the EA800-ip as shown in “Locking and Unlocking the EA800” on page 41 Changing the Date Format Note: The default date format is MM/DD/YYYY.
