Electronic Multi-Zone Environmental Alarm System

Installation/Owner’s Manual

Limitations of the Alarm System or Device

While your alarm system or device is reliable and sophisticated, it does not offer guaranteed protection against

burglary, fire or other emergency. Any security product, whether commercial or residential, is subject to

compromise or failure-to-warn for a variety of reasons. These include:

•Individuals may gain access through unprotected openings or have the technical sophistication to

bypass an alarm sensor or disconnect an alarm warning device.

•Monitoring devices will not operate without power. Devices powered by AC will not work if their AC

power supply is off for any reason. If system has battery backup, batteries that are not maintained can

fail to provide the necessary power for devices to function properly.

•Alarm warning devices such as sirens, bells, and horns may not alert people or awaken sleepers if they

are located on the other side of closed or partly closed doors. If warning devices are on a different level

of the residence from the bedrooms, they are less likely to awaken or alert people inside the bedrooms.

•Telephone lines needed to transmit alarm signals from a premises to a central monitoring station may

be out of service, and are subject to compromise by sophisticated means of attack.

•Signals sent by wireless transmitters may be blocked or reflected by metal before they reach the alarm

receiver. Even if the signal path has been recently checked during a weekly test, blockage can occur if

a metal object is moved into the path.

•Even if the system responds to the emergency as intended and is a monitored alarm system, the

authorities may not respond appropriately.

•This equipment, like other electrical devices, is subject to component failure.

•The most common cause of an alarm system not functioning properly is due to inadequate

maintenance. Your alarm system should be tested weekly to make sure all detection devices are

operating properly. Your control panel and keypads should be tested as well.

Installing an alarm system may make you eligible for lower insurance rates, but an alarm system is not a substitute

for insurance. Homeowners, property owners, and renters should continue to insure their lives and property.

General Information

Overview

The EnviroAlert® EA800 Multi-Zone Environmental Alarm System monitors the environmental conditions detected

by the sensors connected to the base unit, 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. The

EA800 Alarm System can be configured with wired or optional wireless sensors (sold separately). The EA800

allows connection of up to 4 wired and 4 wireless sensors.

Setup and programming is done using the front panel keys and the liquid crystal display (LCD) on the base unit.

The display assists the user during setup, and shows measured conditions for the monitored environment during

operation.

The EA800 can monitor multiple critical environments using multiple sensor inputs. Each sensor input/alarm

channel is designated a “Relay”.

Using the appropriate accessory sensors (sold separately), the EA800 Alarm System monitors and provides

alarms for the following conditions:

■Normally open/normally closed contacts

■Temperature: from -80° C to 150° C (-112° F to 302° F)

■Humidity: from 5% to 95% RH (non-condensing)

■Presence of water

■Any sensor with a 4-20mA interface

The EA800 base unit may be mounted directly to a 3-gang electrical enclosure or to walls. The wireless sensors

are easily mounted to the wall. Figure 1 shows the base unit and a wireless sensor.

Monitoring Screens

The EA800 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 base

unit and their current reading or state.

The MONITORING (home) screen displays pending

alarms in reverse video as shown in the example

at right (71° exceeds the temperature limit for

Sensor 2, so it is shown as light text on black).

Pending alarms indicate that the programmed lim-

its for the sensor have been exceeded, but the

sensor’s programmed delay time has not elapsed

yet. If the monitored conditions continue to

exceed the programmed limits for longer than the

programmed delay period, the pending alarm will

become an active alarm.

The ACTIVE ALARMS screen is shown when one or

more sensors are in an active alarm or warning

state. If more than one alarm is active, each will

be listed on the screen. In the example shown,

Walk-in Cooler and Warehouse alarms are

occurring simultaneously.

■Wireless Sensors: Relays 5 through 8 are for use with wireless sensors. These sensors transmit to the EA800

base unit through RF links. Each wireless sensor is hard-coded with an address the base unit uses to identify

the sensors installed in the system. When you program the system you assign each installed wireless sensor

to a relay using its hard coded address. Wireless sensors can be any of the following types:

•Wireless Humidity Sensor (EA-WHS)

•Wireless Temperature Sensor (EA-WTS)

•Wireless Multi-Function Sensor (EA-WMFS): Any of the following wired sensors can be connected to the

wireless multi-function sensor, effectively converting the wired sensor to wireless:

•Low temperature sensors - Blue Thermistor Probes

•High temperature sensors - Red Thermistor Probes

•Ultra Low temperature sensors - White Thermistor Probes

•Water Bug sensor (supervised)

•Normally Open (NO) Contact

•Normally Closed (NC) Contact

4-20mA Sensors

Theory of Operation

Industry standard 4-20mA sensors can be used with the EA800. However, it is important to verify that this type of

sensor will operate properly over the entire output range.

Figure 6 shows an example of the loop circuit for a 4-20mA sensor whose minimum operating voltage is 8V or less

when connected to an EA800 base unit that is powered with 12VDC.

Figure 7 shows an example of the loop circuit for a 4-20mA sensor whose minimum operating voltage is greater

than 8V when connected to an EA800 base unit that is powered with 12VDC.

Power Supply / Sensor Voltage Selection

In order to determine the power supply voltage necessary to ensure correct full-scale operation, it is necessary to

identify all voltage drops within the current loop.

Figures 6 and 7 show an EA800 drop of 4.0 VDC. This value accounts for the voltage drop generated by

connecting the 4-20mA sensor to the EA800 using 1000 feet of 22 AWG wire.

Now it is only necessary to identify the operating voltage range of the 4-20mA sensor, more importantly the

minimum operating voltage. Once identified, the minimum operating voltage of the sensor can be added to the

4.0V voltage drop of the EA800 (+ wire) to determine the power supply voltage necessary to ensure correct

full-scale operation.

Example:

■Assume that a 4-20mA sensor whose operating input voltage range is 10 – 30V has been selected for use.

Therefore the minimum operating voltage of the sensor is 10V (Vsensor). When the 4.0V drop of the EA800

(and wire) is added, it can be determined that at least 14VDC is needed to power the loop.

■If the EA800 is connected to a 12VDC power supply, use of the sensor in this example requires an external

power supply of at least 14V as shown in Figure 7.

It is important to not exceed the maximum operating voltage of the 4-20mA sensor, as specified within the sensor’s

product specification.

The following formula provides the basis for the selection matrix shown in Table 7. Please use Table 7 to select

either the proper sensor rating to be used with a known power supply, or select a power supply for a known sensor

rating.

RL < (Vcc – x) .023

Sensor Name All A name used to identify the sensor in the alarm system. Select a name

readily identified by the viewer. The sensor name is displayed on the

Main screen during a no-alarm condition and on the Alarm screen during

an alarm condition. Two name choice types are available:

• Common Name: These are preprogrammed names.

• Custom Name: This selection allows you to enter any name if the

preprogrammed common names do not adequately identify the sensor

in the system (limited to 16 characters).

Note: Duplicate sensor names are not permitted.

• 4-20mA sensor

• Wireless

temperature sensors

This parameter allows you to choose the unit of measure used for sen-

sor reading and display.

• Blue, Red and White temperature sensors: °C or °F

• 4-20mA sensors: the following Common Units of measure are

available: F (Fahrenheit), C (Centigrade), K (Kelvin), % rh (percent

relative humidity), psi (pounds per square inch), Pa (Pascals), kPa

(kiloPascals), lb (pound), kg (kilogram)

• 4-20mA sensors can also use custom units. Enter the appropriate units

for the connected 4-20mA sensor via the keypad.

Resolution 4-20mA sensor This determines the range that may be used for the 4-20mA sensor. The

full scale range is determined by the values entered in the Low Scaled

Value and the High Scaled Value. You must select the correct resolution

in order to set the true range limits for the 4-20mA sensor you are install-

ing. The available values are as follows:

Maximum Allowed Maximum Allowed

Resolution Low Scaled Value High Scaled Value

1. -9999. +9999.

0.1 -999.9 +999.9

0.01 -99.99 +99.99

0.001 -9.999 +9.999

Low Scaled

Value 4-20mA sensor This parameter equals the environmental reading that results in a sensor

output of 4mA or its minimum valid reading. This is dependent on the

setting of the resolution as discussed above.

High Scaled

Value 4-20mA sensor This parameter equals the environmental reading that results in a sensor

output of 20mA or its maximum valid reading. This is dependent on the

setting of the resolution as discussed above.

Hysteresis • Blue, Red and White

temperature sensors

• HA-III+

• 4-20mA sensor

The Hysteresis setting helps prevent alarms from being set and reset

continually if the environment is at or near the alarm set point by provid-

ing an acceptable variance. For example, if Hysteresis is set at 2 and the

sensor High limit is set at 50, the sensor reading must decrease to 48

(50 minus 2) in order for the alarm condition to reset to a no-alarm condi-

tion.

Low Alarm

Limit • Blue, Red and White

Alarm Delay

Time All This sets the time period that an alarm condition can exist before the

alarm is triggered. This is useful for helping to prevent false alarms from

occurring in situations where normal activities cause conditions to tem-

porarily exceed alarm thresholds. For example, the temperature in a

freezer may temporarily rise above the High alarm limit while frozen food

is being restocked and the freezer door is open, but the delay prevents

the alarm from going off unless the temperature fails to cool below the

alarm threshold within the alarm delay period.

Preparation

Before you begin installation, ensure that you properly plan the alarm system. During the planning phase you will

generate all the documentation you need to successfully install the EA800 base unit and sensors in the alarm

system. This is important because complete and accurate installation documentation aids in system maintenance

later.

The suggested preparation procedure is as follows:

1. Read and understand the entire manual. General Information provides important information required to

properly plan, install, and use the EA800. The preparation phase helps ensure that the EA800 system will

function as required.

2. Photocopy the pages of Appendix B: Planning Worksheet, Appendix C: EA800 Wiring Diagram (one for each

EA800 base unit in the system), and Appendix D: System Configuration Record to create a record of the

specific EA800 alarm system installation you are currently working on.

3. Draw a floor plan for the facility where you will install the EA800 alarm system. Identify important details such

as the coolers, doors, computer rooms, etc. An example is shown below.

Figure 8 Example Floor Plan

4. Locate the base unit where authorized personnel can readily access it. If required, consideration should be

made regarding a location that discourages unauthorized access. If using wireless sensors, locate the base

unit to minimize the wireless distance. Ensure that the desired mounting locations for the EA800 base unit and

each sensor comply with the environmental specifications listed in Table 13: Specifications.

CAUTION

If the EA800 base unit will be connected to a remote alarm panel, do not connect

the base unit to the alarm panel until after sensor connection and configuration

is complete. Connecting the remote alarm panel before configuring the EA800

sensors will result in false alarms at the remote panel.

CAUTION

Do not install the EA800 base unit in coolers or freezers.

CAUTION

Use only wired sensors specified in this manual for the INPUT 1 through INPUT 4

connections. Unverified sensors may damage the EA800 or result in improper or

unreliable operation.

5. Complete the copy of Appendix B: Planning Worksheet for the facility in which the EA800 system is to be

installed. This must include all monitored areas for the total security system so that you know how many EA800

base units are needed.

6. Determine the sensors required from the Planning Worksheet you completed and the information provided for

each sensor type in “System Configuration”. Enter these in the copy of the System Configuration Record you

made.

Note: When water sensors are required, you must use at least one supervised water sensor and may add up to

five additional unsupervised water sensors, all in parallel. Thus, an alarm on any sensor will result in an

alarm with no way to determine which sensor is the source.

7. Enter the sensor information in the copy of the EA800 Wiring Diagram you made. It is a good idea to name

each sensor on this diagram and use that name in both the EA800 Wiring Diagram and the System

Configuration Record. This helps ensure proper programming of the system after you have physically installed

the system.

8. Using the floor plan you created, identify the specific locations for each sensor and verify that their locations

meet the specifications. See Specifications for operational parameters such as cable length.

Note: For 4-20mA sensors: See 4-20mA Sensors for a discussion of determining the constraints for your

4-20mA sensor to ensure accuracy over its rated range.

9. Determine the channel to use for the wireless sensors. If more than one EA800 is being installed on-site, it is

recommended that they be configured to use different channels.

10. The wireless sensor must be located so that the wireless signal strength is adequate as outlined in Winland

Application Note AN00101. You must verify that the wireless sensors can communicate with the base unit

before you permanently mount them.

Note: Certain environments may present conditions that intermittently cause interference with wireless sensor

to base unit communications. You should understand the environment in which the EA800 is to operate

to minimize their affects on system performance.

11. Decide the loop design you will use. Figure 9 shows an alarm loop where alarm power is derived from the

alarm loop. Figure 10 shows an alarm loop where alarm power is derived from the power supply feeding the

EA800.

Note: if using a self-powered loop, ensure the power supply can provide power for all loading conditions.

WARNING

EA800 relay outputs are intended only for use as low-voltage, low-current

alarm connections, and not for direct switching or control of AC-mains

powered loads. Additionally, local codes may further dictate or limit the types

of loads and associated wiring to be used with the low-current Form C relay

outputs used with the EA800. Connecting AC-mains type circuits to the EA800

may result in an electric shock and/or fire hazard.

CAUTION

Do not connect a load to the AUX OUT or OUTPUT 1 through OUTPUT 8 relay

outputs that exceeds limitations stated in the Specifications section of this

manual. Loads exceeding the specified limitations may damage the EA800, or

result in improper or unreliable operation.

system map is shown in Figure 11. This example illustrates a system that includes multiple EA800 Multi-Zone

Environmental Alarm systems, a Winland EA400 Multi-Zone Environmental Alarm system, and a Winland

EA200 Multi-Zone Environmental Alarm system.

2. Mount the mounting plate as follows:

■Mounting to 3-gang enclosure: Use four (4) machine screws to secure the mounting plate to the mating holes in

the 3-gang enclosure.

■Mounting to drywall surface: Place the mounting plate in mounting position. Mark the four mounting hole

locations. Install drywall anchors and secure the mounting plate to the anchors.

Note: If wall-mounted, prepare a wiring access hole at this time. All wiring must pass through the opening in the

center of mounting plate.

Install the Wired Sensors

Install the wired sensors in accordance with the instructions provided with the wired sensors.

1. Mount each wired sensor in its designated location.

2. Label each sensor's wires for easy identification.

3. Route the wires from the sensor to the base unit and dress the wires as required by local code. It is important

to ensure that the wires are protected along their entire length, are not stressed at any point, and are

adequately supported along their entire length.

4. Pass the wires through the mounted EA800 rear panel.

EA800 Base Unit Power Connections

Note: Do not apply power to the base unit until you are ready to begin sensor programming. The base unit has

a 30-minute timer that starts when the unit is first powered up. If at least one sensor is not added and pro-

grammed within the 30-minute time period, an alarm will occur.

1. Using a terminal block adapter, connect power supply + and - leads to POWER IN (+) and (-) on J5. Observe

proper polarity. If using a transformer, ensure that the transformer is an isolated power supply.

2. If Aux Power Out is to be used, connect + and - leads to AUX POWER OUT (+) and (-) on J5 using a terminal

block adapter.

Install the Wireless Sensors

CAUTION

Do not connect or disconnect power, sensor, or alarm wiring while power is applied.

Connecting and disconnecting the EA800 base unit with power connected may damage the

base unit or result in improper or unreliable operation.

CAUTION

Connection of unsuitable loads to this connection may damage the power supply and

EA800 base unit, or result in improper or unreliable operation.

CAUTION

If the EA800 base unit will be connected to a remote alarm panel, do not connect

the base unit to the alarm panel until after sensor connection and configuration

is complete. Connecting the remote alarm panel before configuring the EA800

sensors will result in false alarms at the remote panel.

Note: Verify that the wireless sensors can communicate with the base unit as outlined in the following proce-

dure before permanently mounting them.

1. Remove the cover from the wireless sensors and

record the MAC addresses (see Figure 12) of

each wireless sensor on the Configuration

Worksheet you completed during the preparation

phase. The MAC address is printed on a label

affixed to each wireless sensor’s printed circuit

board (PCB) and is used to identify each sensor

during programming.

2. Temporarily mount the front panel of the base

unit to the mounted rear panel.

3. Connect power to the EA800. The EA800

completes its boot process and the MONITORING

or NO SENSORS INSTALLED (if there are currently

no wireless sensors installed) screen is

displayed.

4. With the wireless sensors located near the base

unit, connect power to each wireless sensor.

5. Unlock the keypad and allow the base unit to detect the wireless sensors using the following procedure.

Note: The keypad locks automatically after 30 minutes of inactivity (no key presses). If you have not finished

the detection and programming process for a sensor and this occurs, entered values are lost and you

must start the programming procedure for the sensor from the beginning. It is recommended that you

allow the base unit to identify the wireless sensors one at a time, with the sensors unmounted and in the

same location as the base unit.

NO on the appropriate circuit board header connector.

3. Repeat the previous step for each alarm loop.

4. Engage the mating tabs on the EA800 main chassis into the mounting plate upper hinges.

5. Pivot the bottom of the EA800 main chassis into closed position while aligning the retainer tabs on the main

chassis with the holes in the rear mounting plate and ensure that the wiring is not pinched, stressed, or

protruding between the chassis halves.

6. Snap the main chassis closed onto the mounting plate. When properly closed, the main chassis and mounting

plate mating surfaces are flush.

Programming

When powered-up, the EA800 is ready for programming. The following is an overview of the general process for

programming the EA800:

■View the MAIN MENU and unlock the EA800 as described in “Accessing the MAIN MENU for Programming” on

page 28.

■Set the system configuration as described in “Configuring System Parameter Settings” on page 28.

■Set the current date as described in “Setting the Current Date” on page 31.

■Set the current time as described in “Setting the Time” on page 32.

■Add the wireless sensors. See the appropriate subsection under “Adding Wireless Sensors” on page 33.

■Add the wired sensors. See the appropriate subsection under “Adding Wired Sensors” on page 43.

■Verify performance of the wireless sensors. See “Verify Wireless Signal Strength” on page 42.

■Configure the relays. See “Configuring the Relays” on page 48.

Note: When no sensors are programmed in the EA800 system, the EA800 base unit boots up with a 30-minute

delay before the alarm buzzer sounds. At this time the Alarm screen is displayed with a System Alarm

caused by the fact that no sensors have been programmed yet. To prevent the System Alarm from going

off, you must program at least 1 connected sensor into the EA800 base unit prior to the end of the

30-minute alarm time-out. If the alarm buzzer sounds press the Alarm Silence key to temporarily silence

the alarm buzzer.

CAUTION

If the EA800 base unit will be connected to a remote alarm panel, do not connect

the base unit to the alarm panel until after sensor connection and configuration

is complete. Connecting the remote alarm panel before configuring the EA800

sensors will result in false alarms at the remote panel.

CAUTION

If the EA800 base unit will be connected to a remote alarm panel, do not connect

the base unit to the alarm panel until after sensor connection and configuration

is complete. Connecting the remote alarm panel before configuring the EA800

sensors will result in false alarms at the remote panel.

Adding Wireless Sensors

Verify Wireless Signal Strength

After temporarily mounting the wireless sensors in the desired location, verify the signal strength at the base unit 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.

Perform the following procedure to verify the signal strength of each programmed wireless sensor.

If No Data is displayed in place of bars, it indicates that recent signal strength information has not been received. If

this persists for 1-2 minutes without displaying any performance bars, it is a strong indication that your sensor is

placed out of range with the base unit.

If fewer than two bars are shown, it is recommended that the sensor be relocated to obtain a better signal. Refer to

the instruction sheet included with the wireless sensor for details on ensuring optimum signal strength.The wireless

environment can change throughout the day because of other activity in the vicinity. It is therefore important to

verify the signal strength by approximating the worst case scenario the RF signal may encounter.

No Data is displayed until a signal is received and then the

signal strength is displayed as shown in the last screen.

Monitoring Environmental Conditions

The current environmental conditions measured by each sensor connected to the EA800 base unit are shown on

the home screen. Depending on the current sensor status the home screen may be one of the following screens:

■MONITORING screen: This screen is shown when there are no active alarms or pending alarms. This screen

displays the current readings from all programmed sensors as shown in the example below.

Note: Dashes indicate that a sensor has not been programmed yet.

■MONITORING screen with pending alarm. A pending alarm indicates that

a sensor has exceeded the low or high limits but that the condition has

not exceeded the programmed delay (0 to 120 minutes). When an

alarm is pending, the sensor’s reading is displayed in reverse text as

shown in the example for wired sensor 2.

If conditions in the sensor’s area return to the non-alarm state within

the alarm delay time, the text returns to normal. If conditions remain

outside the programmed sensor alarm limits for longer than the delay

time, the screen changes to the ACTIVE ALARMS screen below.

■.ACTIVE ALARMS Screen: This screen is displayed when conditions

monitored by any programmed sensor exceed one of its programmed

limits for longer than the programmed delay period. Only the active

alarm(s) is displayed as shown in the example below. See “Viewing

Adding a Sensor

The procedure for adding a sensor to an existing system is the same as for a new system. See “Install the Wired

Sensors” on page 22 or “Install the Wireless Sensors” on page 22 for instructions on physically installing the sensor

and then programming the sensor in the EA800 base unit.

Note: See “Pausing Monitoring and Cancelling Pause” on page 56 and pause the base unit before you begin

so you can set up the sensor without tripping the alarm.

Note: If adding more than one sensor, add them to the system one at a time. (Power on one sensor and add it

to the system, then power on the next sensor and add it). Do not power on all sensors at the same time.

Note: Update the system’s Configuration Worksheets to document any changes.

Replacing a Sensor

The EA800 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.

Note: See “Pausing Monitoring and Cancelling Pause” on page 56 to pause the base unit before you begin so

you can replace the sensor without tripping the alarm.

Note: If adding more than one sensor, add them to the system one at a time. (Power on one sensor and add it

to the system, then power on the next sensor and add it). Do not power on all sensors at the same time.

Note: Update the system’s Configuration Worksheets to document any changes.

To replace an existing wireless sensor:

1. Physically replace the sensor with another of the same type and ensure it is powered on.

2. Perform the procedure shown below to allow the base unit to search for the new sensor:

3. Select the detected sensor from the SELECT SENSOR screen. If the detected new sensor is the same type as the

replaced sensor, the SENSOR REPLACED screen is displayed.

4. Press OK (F3) to return to the SENSORS screen. If the replacement sensor

appears in the list, highlight it and press Accept. If it does not appear in the list,

press Cancel (F1) to continue the search process.

Editing Sensor Parameters

5. If the detected new sensor is not the same type as the replaced sensor, the

INVALID SENSOR TYPE screen is displayed. Press OK (F3) to return to the

SENSORS screen:

6. Do one of the following:

•Replace the physical sensor with one that matches the type of the

replaced sensor and repeat this procedure.

•Delete the sensor from the base unit and replace with the new sensor (of a different type). See “Deleting

a Sensor” on page 59 and “Adding a Sensor” on page 57.

7. If you wish to replace another wireless sensor, repeat this procedure.

8. If you are finished performing sensor maintenance, press to exit maintenance and resume monitoring.

9. Press F1 to lock the keypad.

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. You cannot edit the following:

■The low and high scaled values for a 4-20mA sensor. If these require changes, you must delete the 4-20mA

sensor and re-add it to the system. See “Connecting Wired HA-III+ Humidity Sensors” on page 25.

■A sensor’s type. For example, if a 4-20mA sensor was incorrectly added as a Blue temperature sensor, you

must delete the incorrect sensor and then re-add the correct sensor.

■

The unit of measure. If unit of measure must be changed, the sensor must be deleted and re-added to the system.

Note: Update the system’s Configuration Worksheets to document changes.

Exporting the Stored Logs

You can export the logs stored in the EA800 for archiving or later review. The export procedure exports the alarm

log, data log, and event log files. To export the logfiles perform the following procedure:

The EA800 stores the log files on the USB drive in comma separated value (CSV) format. The files are named in

the format XYYMMDD-HHMMSS.txt where:

■X = A, E, or D:

•A = Alarm log file

•E = Event log file

•D = Sensor data log file

■YYMMDD is the current date.

■HHMMSS is the current time in 24 hour format.

You can rename the files to more easily identify the EA800 system they came from, however, the first character

designating the log type (A, E, or D) must be retained if using the template available at www.winland.com. Because

the files are in CSV format they can be converted to tables in a word processing program or imported into a

spreadsheet program.

Verifying RF Signal Strength

Viewing Signal Strength for a Wireless Sensor

To verify the RF signal strength received by the EA800 perform the following procedure:

If the remote sensor transmitter you are verifying is battery powered, it may take up to 30 seconds for the base unit

to receive a transmission from the remote sensor.

The base unit displays an approximation of signal strength as indicated by the

number of filled boxes on the screen as shown at right.

Note: The date and time shown at the bottom of the PERFORMANCE screen is the

time stamp of the last received transmission.

Ensure that at least 2 Signal Strength bars are displayed as shown at right. If not, it is

recommended that the sensor be relocated until at least 2 bars are achieved. More

bars reduces sensor alarm latency, reduces the probability of communication

alarms, and increases battery life.

For additional information on how to improve signal strength, refer to Winland

application note AN00101.
