Chapter 1. Overview
ZoomGuard lets you protect, monitor, and control a home, office,
or other site. You can even use ZoomGuard at multiple
locations, all managed from a single Internet application.
This Power Master P1 plugs into an AC power outlet and
includes these features:
• Switchable 15 ampere power outlet for plugging in a
heater, air conditioner, lights, power strip, or anything
else that draws 15 amperes or less of current. Fifteen
amperes is the most current that’s normally available
from a normal 3-prong power outlet in the USA. This
outlet can be toggled by model P1’s button and can also
be monitored and controlled remotely from a smartphone
or a device with a Web browser.
• Voltage monitor for monitoring the AC voltage input.
Normally this voltage should be between 104 VAC to
127 VAC.
• Sensors for temperature, light, and humidity
• Alarm siren that can be activated based on a condition in
your ZoomGuard system, such as pressing a panic
button, sensing a flooded basement, sensing motion, or
sensing entry through a door or window.
A ZoomGuard system always includes the following
components:
1) at least one ZoomGuard Internet Link,
2) one or more sensors and controls,
3) the Internet,
4) remote ZoomGuard devices, and
-5) ZoomGuard alerts and commands.
To use MultiSensor Model P1 you need at least one
ZoomGuard Internet Link. The Model L1 Internet Link is
available in Starter Pack S1 and is also sold separately.
When you set up a ZoomGuard system, you typically do the
following in this order:
1) Connect the Internet Link to a router that has Internet access.
2) Set up the Guards which connect wirelessly to the Internet
Link. Guards can be added at various times. You can start with
a basic system with one Guard or more. Each Internet Link
typically supports up to 12 Guards.
3) Run the ZoomGuard Web application to specify what you
want your ZoomGuard system to do. For instance, what
functions should your MultiSensor perform? When an alert
occurs, where do you want it sent?
4) If you’d like, set up another Internet Link and its associated
Guards. You might do this if you have multiple homes, for
instance, or if you are a building manager. If you do set up a
second Internet Link, you can use the same ZoomGuard Web
application to control all your sensors and controls if you like.
5) Use the system, paying attention to alerts and issuing
commands when you like.
If you haven’t set up an Internet Link yet, you need to do that
first. Then connect Power Master P1 as discussed below.
Chapter 2: Connecting and using Power Master
P1
First you need to decide where to put Power Master P1. This
depends on what you want to do with it. Normally you plug it into
a power outlet on a wall or power strip, selecting a location near
whatever device you want to control. Please keep in mind that
you can use as many of the Model P1’s functions as you like..
Please note the location of various sensors on the MultiSensor.
P1.
Please note the following:
1) When the Power Master is oriented as shown in the
picture, its antenna is vertical. This is normally the best
position for wireless signaling. However, another position
is normally fine. If you have trouble with wireless
reception, try moving the Power Master or Internet Link
so they’re closer to each other. Please try to avoid
putting the Power Master very close to a big metal
object.
2) The light sensor measures light that falls on it. You can,
for instance, have the Power Master automatically switch
on lights if the sensor doesn’t see enough light.
3) The temperature sensor measures temperature at the
Power Master.
4) The humidity sensor measures humidity at the Power
Master.
5) The alarm can sound a loud noise in response to a
condition in your ZoomGuard system. For the Sears
sample, the ZoomGuard Web software doesn’t have this
implemented. However, you can click on the alarm logo
on the dashboard to switch the alarm on or off.
When the Power Master is plugged into a live power outlet, it
powers up and attempts to connect to an Internet Link. This
normally occurs if the Internet Link is working and the Power
Master isn’t too far away from the Internet Link. The distance
depends on a number of factors including the layout and
materials of your building and the number of other wireless
devices in the area. You will see a rapidly blinking green light on
the Power Master when the wireless connection to the Internet
Links is first established. If the MultiSensor loses its connection,
you’ll see a rapidly blinking red light.
In the unlikely event that a Power Master doesn’t have a reliable
link to an Internet Link, you can try the following:
1) Move the Power Master closer to the Internet Link,
possibly by moving the Internet Link.
2) Use more than one Internet Link, each for a different part
of your building. If you don’t have Ethernet wiring in your
building, consider extending your WiFi network by using
a wireless Universal Repeater. One of your Internet
Links can plug into that.
Chapter 3: Using the ZoomGuard Web Application
ZoomGuard Web software is easy and self-documented. We
recommend doing setup using a computer or tablet, since they
have larger screens than a phone. However, you can use a
smartphone or anything else that has a Web browser.
To use ZoomGuard Web software with your sample(s), go to
www.zoom-guard.com/sample (Note the dash between
zoom and guard.)
There you enter your e-mail address, a password, and
information for the Guards you set up. The Guard Device ID is
the 5-digit Device ID that’s on the Guard’s label. The Name
typically reminds you where you put the Guard. After you sign
in, you can activate some or all of your Guard’s sensors. You
can set up alerts in the event that something happens – for
instance, ZoomGuard Power Master sees that an area is too hot,
too dark, or too humid After your Guard is set up, you can use
the Dashboard to monitor your Guard. If you ever want to modify
settings or see the Dashboard, you can log into www.zoom-
guard.com and then enter your e-mail and password, the same
ones you used above. You can use any Web browser including a
smartphone’s browser. There will also be apps for Android
phones and tablets, and for the iPhone and iPad.
If you have more than one Guard, you can use the same
ZoomGuard Web software to add additional Guards, determine
how they’re configured, and monitor them. Enjoy!
