4.0 SET-UP MONITORING & DATA LOGGING
The SPM-200 Power Monitor does the following:
• Displays the current values of the temperature, 3 DC voltages and 2 AC voltages, 1 DC current value
and 3 contact closures. The temperature can be displayed in Celsius or Fahrenheit.
• Allows the user to set multiple alarms on each of the measurements above. The alarms can be set to
go off if the voltage or current exceeds some value or falls below some other values. Alarms can be set
to go off if one of the contact closures goes from closed to open or vice versa. Multiple alarm
thresholds can be set on each measurement
• Sends email(s) to one or more address(es) if an alarm is tripped. Text messages can also be generated.
Emails can be sent to different addresses depending on which threshold has been crossed. For
example, an email can be sent to the first responder’s address when the voltage falls below
100V. If the voltage drops below 90V an email can be sent to the second level responder. Additionally
SNMP traps can be generated when an alarm is triggered.
• Logs data from all the inputs. The log holds data from all the inputs for the last thirty days. The user
can request that one or more inputs be graphed over a certain time period. The user can request the
entire log be downloaded in CSV format, which can be read by Microsoft Excel or similar analysis
software.
4.1 Basic Software Setup
4.1.1 Initial Setup
This section will show how to do an initial setup of a new SPM-200. The easiest way to do this is to connect a
laptop or some other PC directly to the unit to set the basic parameters.
As shipped from the Factory the SPM’s network interface is configured as follows:
• IP Address: 192.168.1.123
• Netmask: 255.255.255.0
• Default gateway: 192.168.1.1
To do the initial setup you must connect a laptop or a PC to the SPM using the Ethernet crossover cable
supplied with the SPM, and configure the PC’s network card to match the SPM’s settings. The following steps
will guide you through the process. (Note: you
must
use the supplied crossover cable, a regular Ethernet cable
will not work
).
1) Power the SPM with a DC 12, 24 or -48V source “wall wart” or other power supply. CAUTION: if you intend
to power the SPM from -48VDC power AND monitor a -48VDC supply the input power MUST come from an
isolated DC-DC converter. Newmar will supply a suitable converter free of charge – contact Newmar
at 800-854-3906 or e-mail [email protected] and request model: 48-12-li.
2) The green power indicator should illuminate. Soon after powering the green status indicator will began
blinking periodically.
3) Connect the SPM to a PC or laptop using the Ethernet crossover cable provided with the unit
(P/N 873-0048-0.)
4) The unit has now been connected to the PC – the next step is to configure the PC’s network interface card
(NIC) to talk to the SPM.
