Chapter 1. Overview

ZoomGuard lets you protect, monitor, and control a home, office,

or other site. You can even use ZoomGuard at multiple

locations, all managed from a single Internet application.

This Power Master P1 plugs into an AC power outlet and

includes these features:

• Switchable 15 ampere power outlet for plugging in a

heater, air conditioner, lights, power strip, or anything

else that draws 15 amperes or less of current. Fifteen

amperes is the most current that’s normally available

from a normal 3-prong power outlet in the USA. This

outlet can be toggled by model P1’s button and can also

be monitored and controlled remotely from a smartphone

or a device with a Web browser.

• Voltage monitor for monitoring the AC voltage input.

Normally this voltage should be between 104 VAC to

127 VAC.

• Sensors for temperature, light, and humidity

• Alarm siren that can be activated based on a condition in

your ZoomGuard system, such as pressing a panic

button, sensing a flooded basement, sensing motion, or

sensing entry through a door or window.

A ZoomGuard system always includes the following

components:

1) at least one ZoomGuard Internet Link,

2) one or more sensors and controls,

3) the Internet,

4) remote ZoomGuard devices, and

-5) ZoomGuard alerts and commands.

To use MultiSensor Model P1 you need at least one

ZoomGuard Internet Link. The Model L1 Internet Link is

available in Starter Pack S1 and is also sold separately.

When you set up a ZoomGuard system, you typically do the

following in this order:

1) Connect the Internet Link to a router that has Internet access.

2) Set up the Guards which connect wirelessly to the Internet

Link. Guards can be added at various times. You can start with

a basic system with one Guard or more. Each Internet Link

typically supports up to 12 Guards.

3) Run the ZoomGuard Web application to specify what you

want your ZoomGuard system to do. For instance, what

functions should your MultiSensor perform? When an alert

occurs, where do you want it sent?

4) If you’d like, set up another Internet Link and its associated

Guards. You might do this if you have multiple homes, for

instance, or if you are a building manager. If you do set up a

second Internet Link, you can use the same ZoomGuard Web

application to control all your sensors and controls if you like.

5) Use the system, paying attention to alerts and issuing

commands when you like.

If you haven’t set up an Internet Link yet, you need to do that

first. Then connect Power Master P1 as discussed below.

Chapter 2: Connecting and using Power Master

First you need to decide where to put Power Master P1. This

depends on what you want to do with it. Normally you plug it into

a power outlet on a wall or power strip, selecting a location near

whatever device you want to control. Please keep in mind that

you can use as many of the Model P1’s functions as you like..

Please note the location of various sensors on the MultiSensor.

P1.

Please note the following:

1) When the Power Master is oriented as shown in the

picture, its antenna is vertical. This is normally the best

position for wireless signaling. However, another position

is normally fine. If you have trouble with wireless

reception, try moving the Power Master or Internet Link

so they’re closer to each other. Please try to avoid

putting the Power Master very close to a big metal

object.

2) The light sensor measures light that falls on it. You can,

for instance, have the Power Master automatically switch

on lights if the sensor doesn’t see enough light.

3) The temperature sensor measures temperature at the

Power Master.

4) The humidity sensor measures humidity at the Power

Master.

5) The alarm can sound a loud noise in response to a

condition in your ZoomGuard system. For the Sears

sample, the ZoomGuard Web software doesn’t have this

implemented. However, you can click on the alarm logo

on the dashboard to switch the alarm on or off.

When the Power Master is plugged into a live power outlet, it

powers up and attempts to connect to an Internet Link. This

normally occurs if the Internet Link is working and the Power

Master isn’t too far away from the Internet Link. The distance

depends on a number of factors including the layout and

materials of your building and the number of other wireless

devices in the area. You will see a rapidly blinking green light on

the Power Master when the wireless connection to the Internet

Links is first established. If the MultiSensor loses its connection,

you’ll see a rapidly blinking red light.

In the unlikely event that a Power Master doesn’t have a reliable

link to an Internet Link, you can try the following:

1) Move the Power Master closer to the Internet Link,

possibly by moving the Internet Link.

2) Use more than one Internet Link, each for a different part

of your building. If you don’t have Ethernet wiring in your

building, consider extending your WiFi network by using

a wireless Universal Repeater. One of your Internet

Links can plug into that.

Chapter 3: Using the ZoomGuard Web Application can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following measures: ZoomGuard Web software is easy and self-documented. We recommend doing setup using a computer or tablet, since they have larger screens than a phone. However, you can use a smartphone or anything else that has a Web browser. - Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
