UNPACKING
In addition to this Quick Start Guide, you will find the following in each package:
- Climate Guard Unit
- Ethernet Cable
- 16-Pin Terminal Block
- Power Cord
NETWORK SETUP
-
Plug in the power cord and connect the Climate Guard to your network via the rear-panel Ethernet connector.
-
If your network supports DHCP functionality, a dynamic IP address will be assigned to the unit. If DCHP is not supported on your network skip ahead to step 3 now. To access the unit, launch a web browser and enter the hostname CLIMATEGUARD/ in the browser’s address field then skip to step 5. Be sure to include the forward-slash symbol in the hostname.
-
If your network doesn’t support DHCP, the Climate Guard will assign itself the default IP address 192.168.0.100. You will need to connect a PC with a web browser to the Climate Guard at this IP address before you can change the network settings on the unit. One way to do this is to unplug your PC from any other LAN and connect your PC to the Climate Guard via a network switch or a cross-over ethernet cable. Then configure your PC with a compatible IP address so that you may connect to the Climate Guard. Running Windows, the following steps will allow you to configure your PC with a compatible IP address:
-
From the Control Panel, select Network Connections
-
Double-click the icon for the network you will be using
-
On the General tab, click Properties
-
Click Internet Protocol version 4 “TCP/IPv4”.
-
Select Propertie
-
Choose “Use the following IP address” and enter an IP address of 192.168.0.x, where x is any valid address location except 100.
-
Enter Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
-
Click OK
-
Open a browser and enter the Climate Guard default IP address of 192.168.0.100.
-
The web page will prompt you to set a password for the administrator account.
-
The login screen will then be displayed. Enter the username admin and the password you supplied\ above.
-
The first screen displayed after initial login is an abbreviated Network page requiring you to enter a static IP address for the Climate Guard. Check with your network administratorfor an available IP address that is not within the DHCP address range.
-
Your browser will be automatically redirected to the new IP address. If your initial connection was made without DHCP, your PC should now be restored to its prior network settings and both the PC and the Climate Guard should be connected to the normal LAN.
-
Log in to the Climate Guard at its new static IP address, go to the Settings tab on the web page and select Network to change the network information. Add the following network information and select save to confirm the changes.
a. NetBIOS/Hostname – This name should be changed from its default value of CLIMATEGUARD so conflicts will not occur if multiple devices of the same model are installed on the network.
b. IP Address – This field will display the static IP address you entered in a\ previous step.
c. Subnet Mask – Check with your network administrator otherwise the factor default setting can be used.
d. Gateway – Check with your network administrator otherwise the factory default setting can be used
e. HTTP Port – Check with your network administrator. The factory default setting is port 80.
f. Primary and Backup DNS – Check with your IT administrator otherwise the value 8.8.8.8 can be used. -
To verify communication, open a command prompt on your computer and ping the address you just assigned to the unit to ensure it is correctly configured.
INSTALLING SENSORS AND SWITCH INPUTS
The Climate Guard supports digital sensors for temperature and humidity monitoring, powered switch inputs such as motion sensors and smoke detectors and unpowered switch inputs like door contacts providing up to 64 sensors within the Climate Guard
Wiring digital sensors and powered switch inputs
External sensors connect to the front panel Sensor inputs and the rear panel
Switch Inputs. The pinouts for the front panel Sensor inputs are as follows:
Sensor input cabling may be extended using RJ-12 Couplers and additional
Sensor Cables, available from Burk Technology. Digital sensors may be daisy
chained using Burk part numbers: RJ-12 Splitter, Sensor Cable, and Sensor
Cable – Daisy Chain as shown in the diagram. The Burk Sensor Cable has cross-
over wiring, while Sensor CableDaisy Chain has straightthrough wiring.
Important Note: Be sure the Climate Guard input port is connected with a
Burk Sensor Cable (Crossover) to the first sensor in the daisy chain.
Rear Switch Inputs
The Climate Guard has rear panel connections for eight unpowered Switch Inputs
such as door contacts. These require a two-wire connection. Connect one wire
to ground and the other to the numbered input terminal using the included
16-pin “Phoenix” type connector.
Rear Input Connector
CONFIGURE SENSOR INPUTS
Both digital sensors and switch inputs appear automatically on the Sensors
page of the Climate Guard web interface. Once the wiring of the sensors and
switch inputs is complete, you can begin to configure the inputs. Click the
Edit button next to a digital sensor to edit its settings. The following
settings are configurable:
SNMP CONFIGURATION
To configure Climate Guard’s SNMP features, use the SNMP link on the Setup
page and check the SNMP check box to enable SNMP.
Click the link labeled Download the Climate Guard MIB to download the unit’s
MIB file. The MIB file defines the SNMP OIDs that your SNMP Manager can use
when communicating with Climate Guard.
Climate Guard supports up to three SNMP managers. In the event of an alert,
Climate Guard will send an SNMP trap to each manager.
For each manager, enter the IP address or hostname and port number (usually
162). Click the Save button to save your settings
Select OID Mapping from the Setup page to assign specific SNMP Object Identifiers to individual sensors. This OID assignment capability allows you to directly control which sensors are associated with particular functions when integrating Climate Guard with third party SNMP management systems.
CONFIGURE EMAIL SETTINGS AND NOTIFICATIONS
To set the email (SMTP) settings for Climate Guard, use the Email link on the Setup page. The following parameters are available:
a. Email server – Enter the IP address or hostname of your SMTP server.
B. Email port – Enter the port number used by your SMTP server or accept
thedefault value of 587.
C. From – Enter a valid email address to be used as the from address for
Climate Guard notifications.
d. SMTP server requires security – Check this checkbox if your SMTP
serverrequires you to log on to send email.
e. Username – Enter the username to log into the email server. Usually
this is your email address.
f. Password – Enter your SMTP password or application password if
applicable (i.e. gmail SMTP servers).
g. SMTP protocol – Select Cloud Service to make use of the Burk Email
Cloud Service.
h. Cloud Server – The default address for the Burk Email Cloud server
iscloud.burk.com.
i. Cloud port – The default port for the Burk Email Cloud server is 4095.
Climate Guard supports email notifications for up to 10 email addresses. ClimateGuard will email alert messages to the addresses that you specify, according to the schedules that you configure. To configure notifications, use the Notifications link on the Setup page.
Refer to the Climate Guard & Plus-X EM Installation and Operation Manual for further information on configuring and operating the Climate Guard unit.
