This unit will upgrade your measuring equipment to be able to collect print reports or other 
text reports to SD Card storage, and as well to access the storage remotely. The unit can also 
be set to distribute the email with the record.txt attachment to co-workers (three 3 recipients max.).

Model RM requires a WiFi connection with internet to access the users email account.
A dedicated email account should be set up to isolate the RM system. A dedicated email account 
prevents any interference with personal or business email servers. 

EXAMPLE: If you are monitoring the print data from an autoclave sterilizer cycle you could obtain an email 
account named: rm@sterilizer-mini5.com    Email accounts can be purchased inexpensively from many providers 
for as little as $40/year. Then send an email to rm@sterilizer-mini5.com  and receive an email back to your desk
or phone with the log file record.txt attachment.

An optional splitter cable allows the user to tap into an existing,  working system to collect serial port data and view
it remotely without disrupting your current working system. 

The RM unit is compatible to various types of connectors on serial ports simply by adding the right combination of
Male/Female adapter, 9 Pin to 25 Pin adapter, or adding a "Nul cable". 

Save time travelling to other cities to collect data.

Example Application:
An alarm system panel for a building complex outputs status changes to a dot matrix printer every few minutes.
The printer uses an RS232 Serial Interface data cable.  Model RM acts as a serial logger. 

Objective:
Record the print data to a file and make the file accessible remotely.

Setup Steps:
1.) Insert the Photologic Ltd. RS-232 Splitter Cable "inline" on the print cable.  The printer will keep printing normally.
2.) Attach Model RM Emailer to the tap on the splitter cable.
3.) Assign an email account to Model RM unit:  (So that the RM unit has its own email account.)
     Obtain an email account with domain name, e.g. west-side-plaza3.com and name the email:  rm@west-side-plaza3.com
     Example:  “Bluehost” web hosting  webmail or web site with one email address. $39USD /year Yr 2024
                      Upcharges like Domain Privacy + Protection is not mandatory and user can economize by
                      not accepting such extra features.     Do not choose a two step verification email account.
     Perhaps do not use your personal/business email account as the RM unit will delete the email Inbox after you 
     send a command to it.
4.) Configure the RM unit using its SD Card  config.txt file.   Enter WiFi name/password and mail server name/pswd etc.
     that you are given with the account.
5.) Power Model RM up and it will record all print data to the SD Card,  while the printer keeps printing like normal.
6.) Send an email anytime to  rm@west-side-plaza3.com  with command  "Model RM(send)"  in the subject line.
7.) Model RM will check the email server inbox for the "Model RM(send)" email every 30 sec.,  and if it exists, then 
     RM sends the SD Card  record.txt  file as an attachment to everyone in the email distribution list.   
8.) The RM continues to log RS-232 alarm panel data while the emails are sent, as it has a large buffer (90,000 characters).  
9.) The user may set "automatic emailing" of the record.txt file for two specific times per day.

_______________________________________
For Printer Replacement,   consider Model RM if: 
1.) Your printer is a dotmatrix such as Epson, Panasonic, Okidata,
       or thermal printer such as Seiko. 
2.) Interface is: RS-232 Serial, or Parallel LPT (add CS-DB25 to Model RM). 
3.) Your print data is plain generic ASCII text without graphics.
