Notes:

See

Send Test Email Msg - page 96 to verify proper configuration of eth-

ernet menus.

On a network, both master and slave alarm emails are sent to the config-

ured email addresses in the master.

Test the alarm email delivery by creating an alarm condition at the 5200A

and verify the email(s) is received.

The CC/Email address must be configured when using 5200A email alarm-

ing. Specific alarm system information will not be sent if the CC/Email

address menu is not configured with a valid email address.

Use AquaManager to easily configure email addresses using the PC key-

board. See AquaManager on line help.

- If Autopoller is being used for AquaManager email alarming on a TCP/

IP connection, it is strongly recommended that the 5200A email alarming

using the serial to ethernet device be disabled. When the ethernet device

sends alarm emails, all Autopoller SMS communication is suspended.

This could potentially delay any AquaManager alarm emails from being

sent.

To disable the serial to ethernet device from sending alarms, clear all four

email addresses from the Communication → Ethernet menus. Clear the

email addresses by using the “Spc” (space) key on the numeric keypad.
Save change at numeric keypad and press

to save configuration

and return to Run Screen.

Ethernet Module Error Message

At power up, the serial to ethernet device will generate an error message if it cannot

properly handshake with the 5200A hardware. If this error occurs, communication

(AquaManager and 5200A alarm emails) will not work via TCP/IP. The error could

be a result of incorrect serial to ethernet device installation or a faulty ethernet device.

The error message will appear in the event log.

SMS Messaging with Ethernet Module

SMS (Short Message Service) or text messaging is a service for sending messages to

your cell phone or mobile device. To use SMS messaging, enter the email address

in the Menus → System → Communications→ Ethernet →Email address. See Ap-

pendix 4 SMS - page 224 for a list of cellular and mobile companies that support

sending text messages.

Node Network

Menus → System → Communications → Network

A node network includes multiple 5200A and/or 5400 instruments. The devices

are physically hardwired together using RS485 protocol. Node networks are con-

figured with one master node and up to 31 slave nodes. The master continuously

queries enabled slaves on the network. The master is the access point for the entire

network. This includes AquaManager communication and sending of 5200A/5400

alarm emails. Slave nodes must be configured with a slave address.

Note:

- Multiple node networks communicating via direct connect (RS232) re-

quire separate PC COM ports for simultaneous AquaManager mapping

and autopolling.
