TH2E – Temperature & Humidity units – SNMP / ModBus options vs Event Logging memory

December 1, 2009  Print This Post

On the TH2E (temperature & humidity sensing units, over Ethernet) customers have a choice of two different factory options:

• Temperature / Humidity / Alerts / Event memory + logging

OR

• Temperature / Humidity / Alerts / SNMP / ModBus

By default, the TH2E units despatched to customers are the model with the ‘event memory’ and temperature/humidity logging. But if you require SNMP (e.g. for Nagios, NetSaint etc.) or if you require ModBus functionality for a specific application in your organisation, please mention this when ordering a TH2E.

The TH2E manual is available for download from here: TH2E PDF manual download.

SNMP is discussed in the TH2E manual from page 41 onwards.

ModBus is discussed in the TH2E manual on page 46.

Not sure what option you need? Then simply contact us for more information.

Synergy Smart Power Meter Email EM1000 display register explanation

August 8, 2009  Print This Post

How do I tell how much power I’ve exported to the grid with my smart power meter Email EM1000?

For those customers with a Email EM1000 single phase smart power meter (used by Synergy in Western Australia, and other utility companies elsewhere in Australia), here are the break-downs of what each register or display are on your power meter, assuming Import / Export power, such as a grid-connected solar photovoltaic (solar PV) array…

Pressing the RED button (top-right corner of the smart power meter) changes to the next display / register:

Display / Register number:

1. Total kWh
2. Total kWh – Peak
3. Total kWh – Off Peak
4. Total kWh – Weekday shoulder
5. Total kWh – Weekend shoulder
6. Total kWh – EXPORTED
7. Total kWh – EXPORTED – Peak
8. Total kWh – EXPORTED – Off Peak
9. Total kWh – EXPORTED – Weekday shoulder
10. Total kWh – EXPORTED – Weekend shoulder
11. Voltage (e.g. 240v)
12. Current (Amps) e.g. 2.5A
13. Power Factor (e.g. -0.85)
14. Display Test
15. Time
16. Date

The display / register list then repeats again.

Note: The “Exported” values will appear with a minus or ‘negative’ (-) symbol next to them, to indicate that you have exported power back to the grid .

What services can an Ethernet Thermometer offer?

April 19, 2009  Print This Post

The Ethernet Thermometer Revolution!

A thermometer with Ethernet data transmission + monitor. Simply plug in the device, perform a once-off configuration, and you’re ready to use the device to monitor temperatures.

Supplied complete (ready to use), with regulated power supply, Ethernet cable, software CD, and detailed instructions. Australian power supplies are used for Australian orders. Orders from outside Australia are supplied with overseas power supplies (common power supplies include USA, UK, Europe, Asia etc.).

Send temperature data over TCP/IP networks using protocols such as Web / HTTP, XML, HTTP Get, SNMP (UDP), Email (SMTP), WebService (Soap), ASCII (TCP), and MODBUS (TCP)

SMS (short messages sent to your mobile telephone) can be sent by using email-to-SMS services, such as Utbox.net. Read our setup article for more information about email-to-SMS services such as Utbox.net.

Web Display in Celsius or Fahrenheit, All Common Web-browsers + Smart phones

 Print This Post

(Screen shots of Thermometer interface below)

With our TME Ethernet Thermometers, you have a choice of a current temperature display in ‘Celsius’ or ‘Fahrenheit’ degrees. You can view the current temperature in a straight Decimal view, or a ‘mercurial’ (traditional thermometer) graphical view.

The TME’s temperature readout is designed to be used on common web browser platforms, and also has a ‘WAP’ mode (mini-web view) for use on Smart-phones and similar devices.

You can select the options that meet your needs, with a click of your mouse.

This is the decimal-notation view, showing lower and upper temperature alert settings (without graphic mercury-style elements):

This image shows the default view in the Ethernet Thermometer (firmware 1.8):
