About ZPoint

Temperature@lert's next generation wireless sensor offering provides leading

edge data logger performance and advanced features to meet the needs of IT,

Medical, Bio/Pharma, Retail and Commercial Food Service, Property

Management, Solar & Green Energy and Residential customers to keep track

of their valuable materials, equipment and data where limited or no network

connectivity is available or the service is unreliable.

How it Works

ZPoint battery powered nodes monitor temperature, humidity or other

sensors and alert you via phone call, email or text message when the readings

are out of range all without a phone line or internet connection. ZPoint nodes

transmit readings to a ZPoint Cellular Gateway. The Gateway then forwards

readings over the mobile phone network to the Sensor Cloud Website. Several

Nodes can connect and transmit to a Gateway at the same time.

Benefits

ZPoint provides customers with capabilities and benefits to make it the most

user-friendly, cost-effective wireless temperature and humidity sensor on the

market today. These include:

•Easy to set up and use – just power it on and each ZPoint Node will

automatically find a ZPoint Gateway within range and send sensor

readings up to the cloud.

•Onboard Temperature Sensor - A built in temperature sensor allows

ZPoint to operate without any external cables connected.

•Additional Two Sensor Input Capability – Significantly reduces

Cost/Sensor (Measurement Point), very useful for food service,

medical and pharmaceutical applications where monitoring of both

the refrigerator and freezer compartments of storage units is required.

•Temperature/Humidity Sensor Option – Adds Relative Humidity

monitoring for critical applications such as Servers, HVAC Systems,

Refrigerators and Freezers, Archives and Laboratories.

•Set and send alerts for multiple temperature and/or humidity

thresholds – provides an easy and meaningful way to implement an

escalation strategy based on severity of the conditions in critical areas.

•Send multiple email, text and voice messages for each threshold and

notification type – lets those who are most affected by potential

problems know when issues arise and when they are resolved.

•Data Logging – stores and forwards data when your device is out of

range of a cellular connection so no data is lost, providing complete

histories of the environment you’re monitoring. This is especially

suited for mobile applications such as refrigerated Food and Medical

Supply distribution.

ZPoint Models

At least one Cellular Edition ZPoint Gateway is needed for operation. You can

connect wired sensors directly to the gateway as well as use one or more

ZPoint Nodes wirelessly with the gateway. All the features are identical except

the important differences highlighted below:

Gateway Models

TM-CELL400-Z: Works up to 24 hours if AC power is lost. Communicates with

up to 15 ZPoint Nodes.

TM-CELL400-IND-Z: Works up to 72 hours if AC power is lost. Communicates

with up to 25 nodes. Monochrome LCD display.

Node Models

TM-ZP200: Onboard temperature sensor

TM-ZP200-TH: Onboard temperature and humidity sensors

Hardware Guide

ZPoint at a Glance

Temperature@lert ZPoint is a remote environmental monitoring system that

measures conditions such as temperature and humidity at various locations

every few minutes. Each sensor reading is transmitted via 2.4Ghz wireless

radio to ZPoint Cellular Gateway. The Gateway relays the readings using the

mobile phone network to our 24/7 monitoring system and secure web site. If

the temperature or other sensor readings goes too high or too low, the system

will call, email or text message you.

Zpoint Nodes can transmit temperature readings every 5 minutes for up to 5

years on the included AA batteries. If the monitoring website ever fails to hear

from the unit, you will receive an alert to check the device. Either way, we

want you to know that we’ve got you covered.

Temperature@lert ZPoint Nodes communicate to the cloud via a

Temperature@lert Cellular Edition ZPoint Gateway on a monthly or annual

monitoring plan for operation. If you purchased your unit from a reseller, you

will need to call Temperature@lert at 866-524-3540 or email

support@temperaturealert.com to activate your Cellular Edition ZPoint

Gateway.

What's Included

Temperature@lert ZPoint includes the following items:

•Node (onboard temperature sensor / optional onboard humidity)

•Two AA Batteries (already installed)

•Antenna

•Quick Start Guide

Setting Up the Hardware

Ensure the ZPoint Cellular Gateway is powered on. Once the gateway is

powered on, it will attempt to connect to the cloud. After a successful cloud

connection is made, the gateway will be accessible by the battery powered

ZPoint Nodes.

To use a battery powered ZPoint Node, simply press and release the power

button to turn on the unit. The device will turn on and begin searching for a

ZPoint Cellular Gateway within range and transmit a reading to the cloud. The

unit is operating correctly if you do NOT see the red failure light blink.

Verifying Wireless Signal Reception

Your Temperature@lert ZPoint Nodes transmit sensor readings via 2.4GHz

radio waves to the ZPoint Cellular Gateway. In order for the unit to operate,

the nodes must be within range of a ZPoint Gateway.

If your unit cannot connect to the wireless network, the red “fail” light will

blink twice every 30 seconds. If your unit cannot read the temperature sensor,

the red “fail” light will blink once 30 few seconds.

Please refer to troubleshooting section of this document if you continue to

receive the red “fail” light.

If the unit is functioning correctly, the green status light will blink once every

30 seconds to indicate the device is on. the device will then wake up, take

sensor readings, transmit them to the cloud and then go back to sleep every X

minutes where X is the interval you set on Sensor Cloud. Available monitoring

intervals of 5, 15, 60, or 120 minutes vary according to the monitoring plan

that you have.

You can use up to 15 ZPoint Nodes with the TM-CELL400-Z Gateway and up to

25 ZPoint Nodes with the TM-CELL400-IND-Z Gateway.

Setting Up Your First Alert

Temperature@lert ZPoint Cellular Gateway and Nodes are primarily controlled

via the Sensor Cloud website located at www.myalertlist.com.

Log into www.myalertlist.com using the username and password you created

when you purchased the device. To setup a temperature alert notification,

follow these steps:

1. Click on the Device List tab.

2. In the Device List table, click on the view link for your device.

3. Scroll to the bottom of the page

4. Next to Sensor Alerts, click the Edit link.

5. Click the Add Alert link.

6. Enter a name for the alert.

7. Choose Temperature for the condition.

8. Set the alert for above or below the temperature reading.

9. Enter the temperature threshold in degrees that will trip the alert.

10. Click the Add Action link.

11. Select Email, Phone, or SMS and enter the email or phone number.

12. Click the Send on Clear Also box to be notified when the temperature

comes back in range.

13. Click the Save button.

Please review the Sensor Cloud user guide at temperaturealert.com/support

for detailed instructions on setting alerts.
