The TM3 Unit is capable of logging alarms and analogue sampled data which can be viewed from the web interface. Images from a network enabled camera can be viewed on the web interface. Two onboard relays for controlling external devices and a 12Vdc and 18Vdc power supplies are available on the unit.
The TM3 Unit Installation and Users Manual describes how to install a TM3 Monitoring Unit, how sensors are connected and configuration of the sensor inputs is performed. It also describes maintenance and fault finding. After performing the installation and configuration procedures as set out in this document, the TM3 Unit is ready for installation specific configuration and operational environmental monitoring.
