Web Enabled Control Modules

RST-5003

Connecting More Sensors to the Cloud

The RST-5003 Web Enabled Control Module connects up to 10 Modbus sensors in a daisy-chain network or a single 4-20mA sensor for level and flow monitoring. Designed for seamless cloud connectivity, the RST-5003 transmits sensor data via Ethernet, supporting landline, radio, cellular, or satellite connections.

  • Easy Setup: Connects directly to any Settler and Explorer daisy-chain network or 4-20mA sensor with an Ethernet cable.
  • Remote & Local Alarming: Features two isolated solid-state relays for local alarms and integrates with an online data portal for remote alerts via SMS and email.
  • Flexible Power Options: Supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) or 24 VDC power supply, eliminating the need for additional adapters.
  • Durable Design: Housed in a polyamide enclosure and DIN-rail mountable for easy installation.
  • Reliable Performance: Operates in extreme temperatures (-40 to +140°F) and consumes minimal power.

What sensors can the RST-5003 connect to?

The RST-5003 can connect to up to 10 Modbus sensors in a daisy-chain network or a single 4-20mA sensor, making it highly versatile for Settler and Explorer monitoring systems.

Installation is simple with plug-and-play setup. Connect the module to your sensor network, then plug in an Ethernet cable to transmit data to a local area network (LAN) or the Internet. It supports RS-485 Modbus, 4-20mA, and discrete switches.

Yes! The RST-5003 enables seamless cloud connectivity via Ethernet, allowing you to monitor your sensors remotely through an online data portal.

Yes, the module has two isolated solid-state relays for local alarms. Additionally, it integrates with online data portals to send remote alarm notifications via SMS or email.

The RST-5003 is ideal for remote monitoring, data logging, and automated alarm management in Settler and Explorer applications across industrial environments.

Port 6700 must be open on your local network for the LOE/RST to connect and see the data on levelandflow.com. Firewalls sometimes close Port 6700, so adjust your network settings and firewalls. 

To toggle the DHCP on and off (static): 

Step 1: Plug the sensor in, and let it run until it calls into the website. 

Step 2: Hold the Reset button down for 20-30 seconds. 

Step 3: Watch the 2 green lights on the RJ-45 terminal. 

Step 4: After 20-30 seconds, both green lights will turn off for a second. Release the button. 

Step 5: The DHCP check box should be opposite of what it was. If it was on, it’s now off, and if it was off, it’s now on. 

Step 6: Unplug the sensor. Wait 10 seconds. 

Step 7: Hold down the Send/Reset button. 

Step 8: Plug the sensor in. 

Step 9: Wait for 20 seconds, then release. 

Step 10: All parameters are now reset back to factory setting. 

NOTE: if switched to the static IP of the sensor, you will need a crossover cable and a computer IP set to 169.254.0.* and sub mask of 255.255.255.0 to talk to the sensor. 

( * can be any number but 200)

 

To reset your parameters: 

Step 1: Hold down the Send/Reset button. 

Step 2: Plug the sensor in. 

Step 3: Wait for 10 seconds, then release. 

Step 4: All parameters reset except DHCP. If DHCP was on, it will still be on, and if the DCHP was off, it will still be off. 

Step 5: This includes the domain name. (Domain name is now:  www.levelandflow.com)

NOTE: Serial numbers greater than L000001990 no longer reset the domain name. 

First, set up yourself as a user on levelandflow.com. 

You’ll be asked for the web ID. The ID # is 73007490 

Be sure your RST/LOE is installed and communicating. You can open any browser on your local network and type in RST_XXXX or LOE_XXXX (last 4 digits of your RST/LOE). You will then see the sensor on the embedded web server. See the RST-5003/LOE user manual for more info. 

To set up your system on levelandflow, our Sales team needs the following: 

  1. Your first and last name. How you spelled your name when you signed up as a User.
  2. The name you want to call your site.
  3. The serial number of your RST-5003/LOE web enabled module.

Our Sales team will then be able to set up a site for you and assign you as a user to it.
