CC/Email
Address
Up to four email addresses can be configured for 5200A emails. At a minimum,
the first email address and the CC/email address must be configured. If the CC/
email address is not configured, 5200A alarm emails will not contain any alarm
information. The email ‘from’ address will be the email address entered in the first
Email Address menu.
Notes:
- See Send Test Email Msg - page 98 to verify proper configuration of
ethernet 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.
Configuring the 5200A
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 6 SMS - page 238 for a list of cellular and mobile companies that support
sending text messages and format information.
Node Network
Menus → System → Communications → Network
A node network refers to either one stand alone master node and/or one master
node and up to 31 configured and wired slave nodes. Node networks with at least
one slave are physically connected using RS485 protocol see page 53 for additional
information. Only the master node is configured for serial or ethernet module
communication.
On a network with at least one slave 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/5X00 alarm emails. Slave
nodes must be configured with a slave address.
Notes:
- Multiple node networks communicating via direct connect (RS232) re-
quire separate PC COM ports for simultaneous AquaManager mapping
and autopolling.
