Installation Instructions:
  1. Mount Tempo724Q in the desired location/enclosure (mounting hardware included).
  2. Tempo724Q can be powered by a UL Listed 12 or 24VDC power source, e.g. Altronix eFlow power supply/charger, or PoE (12.95W, Class 3). Connect a power source to the [AUX input +/-] terminals carefully observing polarity or connect a PoE source to the PoE input.
  3. Connect a Data source to the [Data Input] RJ45 jack
  4. Connect 12VDC battery (optional) to terminals marked [- 12V BATTERY].
Basic Operation:

Tempo724Q controls two (2) independently operated Dry Form “C” relay outputs. Relays can be programmed to:

– Turn on (latch)
– Turn off (release latch) or
– Pulse (momentary toggle)

at a specified time and day (this is referred to as an “event”). Events are programmed via the Altronix dashboard. Events may be programmed to occur on any day of the week at any time. In addition, events may be repeated at a specific time on two (2) or more consecutive days (i.e. M-F, Sun-Th, etc). Multiple combinations of individual and block events may be programmed. Holiday exceptions are individually selected by date and will override all regularly scheduled events.

Output Relay Modes:

– Relay OFF De-energizes the relay until a relay ON event is detected.
– Relay ON Energizes the relay until a relay OFF event is detected.
– Pulse Momentarily energizes the relay for a selectable time period of 1 sec. to 15 secs

Timer Alerts:

– System Start up
– “First man in” option: FM1 Active / Inactive, FM2 Active / Inactive
– Standard or Daylight Savings Time Settings: Enabled / Disabled

Relays:

– Relay Channel 1: On/Off
– Relay Channel 2: On/Off

Trigger Inputs (Programmed, relay does not change state)*

– Trigger 1 Active / Inactive
– Trigger 2 Active / Inactive

­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­Accessing Device Interface

LinQ-enabled devices are managed through the LinQ Dashboard, a server application currently available for Windows 10 and 11.
The latest installer for the LinQ Dashboard can be found on https://www.altronix.com.
Once installed, the user can access the Dashboard through the application interface or configure and run it as a server on the local network.
On the Dashboard, all devices are available under Devices tab.

Connecting to the Dashboard

Devices can connect to the Dashboard over Network or USB. If at any time you are having issues connecting over the network, we recommend connecting directly over USB and inspecting the network configuration of the device.

Device Discovery:

The latest generation of LinQ products, by default, use MDNS (Multicast Domain Name System) to auto discover and connect to a Dashboard running on the same network. As products default to DHCP mode, allow a couple of minutes for the product to be assigned an IP address on the network, and to find and link to the Dashboard.
Once the connection is established, you will see your device pop up under the Devices tab.

Keep in mind:

– It is possible your network manager has blocked Multicasting on your local routers, this may prevent MDNS from working
– DHCP will only work if a DHCP server is running on your network (typically part of any router).
Devices will not connect with a direct wired RJ45 connection from the device to the computer hosting the Dashboard (You can connect using USB).

Manual:

If DHCP or MDNS auto detect is not feasible on your network, the device network settings can be configured manually by connecting over USB.

  1. Using a printer cable, connect the device to the computer hosting the Dashboard.
  2. The device will appear in the Devices tab of the Dashboard.
  3. Enter the device and navigate to the Settings/Network tab section TCP/IP.
  4. Set the method to STATIC.
  5. Fill in the desired IP address, subnet and gateway and click Submit.
  6. Navigate to the Cloud section of Settings/Network.
  7. Fill in the IP address and port of the Dashboard, disable TCPS and toggle Enable to switch on
    a. The IP address and Port of the Dashboard can be found under the Network tab of the dashboard, use port TCP2.
    b. For remote connections you will have to find the Dashboard public IP address (Google My Public IP Address) from the computer hosting the Dashboard) and port forward port TCP2 on your router.
  8. Reboot the device.
  9. While the USB is still connected, connect the device to your local network, once it discovers the Dashboard, it will show connected on the cloud page referenced above.

Keep in mind:

– Make sure the static IP you assign is on the same network as the Dashboard.
– Always confirm that an IP address is available before assigning it as multiple devices with a shared IP address will cause unexpected issues on your network.
– Always work with your Network Administrator when installing new services/devices on a network.
