Integration with HW-group Products

The 1W-UNI USB Calibrator is optimally matched to HW-group devices such as Poseidon2, Ares, STE2, or Damocles. After calibration, sensors can be directly integrated into these systems to build a comprehensive security system for remote monitoring. Alarms and measured values are reported in real time via LAN, GSM, SNMP, or Modbus/TCP. The free HWg-PDMS software enables analysis and export of data to Excel for detailed reports. Connection to the SensDesk portal offers additional visualization options via Android or iOS apps.

Installation and Setup

Setting up the 1W-UNI USB Calibrator is simple. The calibrator is connected to a PC via USB, and the sensor to be calibrated is connected via an RJ11 cable. The HWg-Calibrator software is installed (download via the HW-group website), and after starting the software, the "Scan" function automatically detects connected sensors. Calibration points, units, and exponents can be configured via the intuitive user interface. After calibration, the sensor can be directly integrated into a Poseidon2 or Ares system.

The HW-group 1W-UNI USB Calibrator is the ideal solution for precise sensor calibration and configuration of 1-Wire UNI sensors in server rooms, industrial facilities, and building management systems. With its simple USB connectivity, free software, and compatibility with HW-group systems such as Poseidon2, it offers a flexible solution for current measurement, voltage measurement, and other monitoring applications.
