The new, high-performance, long range, OMEGA
TM
ZW-REC wireless receiver provides
Web-
based monitoring of OMEGA’s IEEE 802.15.4
compliant wireless End Devices including
the zSeries, UW Series
1
and zwSeries.
The ZW-REC is IEEE 802.15.4 compliant and operates at 2.4 GHz. It is designed to
communicate up to 1000m
2
(3280') to various wireless sensors including the all new ZW-ED.
The ZW-REC connects directly to an Ethernet network to serve active web pages and display
the data. It enables monitoring and recording of Temperature, Humidity, and Barometric
Pressure over an Ethernet network or the Internet without any special software
—
just a Web
Browser. OMEGA offers a wide variety of different wireless sensors and transmitters to suit
every application.
The ZW-REC offers expanded functionality over previous wireless receivers. The ZW-REC can
connect to up to 128
3
wireless End Devices at once. The built in web server supports
encryption to protect your sensitive data. The all new web pages run HTML5 and are ready to
use on mobile devices. The ZW-REC can also wirelessly update firmware for compatible End
Devices and Sensors.
The ZW-REC is designed to require no software to setup and run. A standard web browser can
be used to monitor and chart all sensor readings. The browser can also be used to configure
the device’s IP address, passwords for access and overall configuration parameters. Firmware
updates for the ZW-REC itself, compatible End Devices and sensors are loaded directly from
the web browser. The web server supports HTTP over TLS (HTTPS) which provides a secure,
encrypted, connection between web browser and ZW-REC receiver.
Each ZW-REC receiver can support up to 128 End Devices and up to 8 receivers can be setup in
one area allowing for networks of up to 1024 total End Devices. The Omega Dashboard web
server software can monitor and log data from one or more receivers from a single webpage.
The Omega OPC Server is available
for customers with existing SCADA systems, to connect the
ZW-REC directly to their PLC or Historian. A free trial of the OPC Server is available for
evaluation purposes. Please contact Customer Service for more information.
