  • Page 8: Part 1: Introduction

    The long range End Devices run on either AC power, low voltage power, or batteries. The AC version (zED-P, zED-LCD) is powered by a 5 Vdc universal AC power adapter that operates on any voltage worldwide (110 to 240 Vac). Should AC power fail, the unit can operate on a 3.6V ultra-long-life lithium back-up battery (included).
  • Page 9 1.3 Description (continued) The End Devices transmit up to 300 feet/91m (zED) or 3280 feet/1000m (zED-P/-LCD/ -AA/-CCELL/-DC-H2), without obstructions or interference, to a "Coordinator" connected directly to an Ethernet network and the Internet. The wireless system complies with IEEE 802.15.4 operating at 2.4 GHz and the user can switch to different communication channels to avoid interference with other wireless technologies (e.g.

Care should be taken to prevent the components of your wireless system from being exposed to moisture, toxic chemicals, extreme cold or hot temperature that are outside the specification listed in this manual.
  • Page 65: Figure 5.1 Operation In Buildings

    5.1 General Deployment Guidelines (continued) 7. Where possible, try to ensure an uninterrupted line-of-sight between nodes. Avoid obscuring objects (e.g. metal pillars, posts, sign) near the antenna. A close object obscures a wider range of solid angle. 8. It is important to understand that the environment may change over time due to new equipment or machinery being installed, building construction, etc.
  • Page 66: With Line-Of-Sight

    5.2 With Line-of-Sight When installing your Coordinator it is important to position your device in such a way to optimize the antenna location within what’s known as the "Fresnel Zone". The Fresnel Zone can be thought of as a football-shaped invisible tunnel between two locations that provides a path for RF signals between your End Device and your Coordinator.
  • Page 67: Without Line-Of-Sight

    5.3 Without Line-of-Sight When line-of-sight is not possible, signal penetrates and is reflected by different objects to reach the destination. Therefore, it is important to learn about how these materials would affect signal propagation. Depending on the thickness, moisture content and angle of incidence, a wall may allow between 1% and 25% of the radio power to pass through.

  • Page 75: Appendix Aglossary

    APPENDIX A GLOSSARY User of this manual should be familiar with following definitions: ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) is a protocol for mapping an Internet Protocol address (IP address) to a physical machine address that is recognized in the local network. For example, the IP address in use today is an address that is 32-bits long. In an Ethernet local area network, however, addresses for attached devices are 48-bits long.
  • Page 76 Appendix B IP Address An IP address is a unique 32-bit address assigned to a computer and includes: • A network ID number identifying a network. • A host ID number identifying a computer on the network. All IP addresses have been divided into three smaller groups (classes) A, B and C •...
  • Page 77: Appendix Cip Netmask

    Appendix C IP Netmask IP Netmask or Subnet Mask is a 32-bit pattern of ones and zeros used to determine network portion of an IP address from the host portion of the IP address. Subnet mask is a network ID that is created by borrowing bits from host portion of IP address and using them as part of a network ID.

    Appendix G Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Q: Java applet is not loaded? A: Check Java Setting (icon in Control Panel). Make sure cache is disabled and your web browser is enabled for Java. Q: I do not see any readings even if the applet is loaded, what could be wrong? A: 1) Make sure the Coordinator and the End Device have the same Network ID (NID).
  • Page 84 Appendix G Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) (continued) Q: The Chart trend line for all the variables are broken, what could be wrong? A: It indicates that a TCP connection to the Coordinator was timed-out and no data was obtained. Make sure the Coordinator is still on in the network and powered up. If there are too many broken lines, it may indicate that the network load is too heavy.
