1.0 INTRODUCTION
WebAlert is the first stand- alone remote monitoring device that can web enable your installed
equipment without having to replace or upgrade it. Your key system parameters (analog and digital
input signals) can now be monitored from any computer – anywhere in the world - with a standard web
browser.
With proprietary on-demand connectivity, the WebAlert is only online when you need it, making it the
world’s first practical and secure industrial monitoring Internet solution. WebAlert pulls your older
equipment into the Internet age with online monitoring, data logging, auto reporting and auto alarming.
User defined alarms can be received by email or cell phone text message. The solid state alarm relay
notifies on-site personnel.
Data logs can be delivered by email as a spreadsheet attachment. You decide where and when you need
the information and WebAlert makes it happen. Since WebAlert supports simultaneous multi-user
access and Ethernet, all of its remote monitoring features are also available on local area networks
(LAN). For larger installations, which require more than six analog and two digital inputs, WebAlerts
can be networked together with Ethernet.
In addition, settings and data may be manipulated using a computer connected directly via USB, or
modem to modem without requiring an Internet connection.
