Wireless Sensor System Provides Web-Based Monitoring, 2 in a Series

By DE Editors

The new Newport zSeries wireless sensor system provides Web-based monitoring of temperature, humidity, and barometric pressure.  The compact wireless devices mount discretely on the wall in clean rooms,  laboratories, and any remote facility, according to Newport Electronics.
 
The sensors transmit up to 300 feet (without obstructions) to a Coordinator connected directly to an Ethernet network and the Internet. The wireless system complies with IEEE 802.15.4 operating at 2.4GHz.

With the new sensor system, users can monitor and record a variety of metrics over an Ethernet network or the Internet using a Web browser. The device can trigger an alarm if variables go above or below a set point that the user determines. The alarms can be sent by email to a single user or to a group distribution list, including text messages to Internet enabled cell phones and PDAs.
