Operating Guidelines
Placement
The unit should be placed indoors on a flat and level surface. The unit can be mounted vertically on a
wall or other surface with screws or with industrial Velcro® tape.
Adding ZPoint Wireless Sensors
When you order your ZPoint wireless sensors from Temperature@lert, we will automatically associate
them with your account. The ZPoint wireless sensor will automatically find in range. If your ZPoint
wireless sensor is not showing up on Sensor Cloud, please try signal strength mode then contact
support.
Wireless Reception
The unit requires a cellular wireless signal in order to operate. If a signal is unavailable in the desired
installation area, the sensor cable can be increased to a length of up to 200 feet (61 meters). ZPoint
wireless sensors can be up to 1,000 feet (line of sight) from the Cellular Edition, or 300-400 feet with
obstructions. You can use a standard RJ12 six conductor extension cable or contact Temperature@lert
to purchase a longer cable. (Note, four conductor extension cables may not allow your device to operate
properly.) Alternatively, an external Quad or Dual band GSM antenna with an SMA mount can be
utilized. Note that antenna extension wire length degrades the signal as length increases. We do not
recommend using an antenna cable over 6-feet (1.8 meters) in length. Please contact Temperature@lert
support before connecting an antenna not supplied with the unit. Use of an incorrect antenna
can place the device out of FCC compliance. The antenna should be oriented in a vertical position
perpendicular to the horizon. The antenna must remain connected during operation. In order to
disconnect the antenna, complete the full power down instructions first.
Device Care Instructions(For both Cellular Edition and Zpoint Wireless Nodes)
Battery maintenance.
Allowing the battery to fully discharge can shorten the devices lifespan. Even when not in use please do
not leave the device disconnect from power for overly extended period of time. If you must store the
device hold down the power button until all lights turn on then go out one by one. This will power off
the device and preserve some of the charge.
