IMS-4812 Mini–Temperature Sensor (Fahrenheit)
Installation Instructions
Introduction
The IMS-4812 Mini Temperature Sensor is designed
to connect to the IMS-4000 Host or Node and monitor
temperatures in tight locations (for example, inside
equipment racks). The electrical connection between
the sensor and IMS-4000 is made via the attached
RJ-45 patch cable. The sensor may be secured inside
equipment using double-sided tape (included) or with
tie-wraps.
Cabling
The Mini-Temperature Sensor comes with an attached 7' cable with an RJ-45 plug on the end. If the
sensor is close to the IMS-4000 Host or Node, you can plug the sensor directly to an IMS environ-
mental input. If the cable is too short you can use the included RJ-45 adaptor and a longer patch
cable to extend the length. For applications where the sensor may be far from the IMS unit, you
may utilize your existing network wiring infrastructure. For example, the sensor may be installed in
another room or another floor. Connect the sensor to your structured wiring network via an RJ-45
jack. At the other end, connect a patch cable from your structured wiring patch panel directly to the
Host or Node environment input.
Caution: The IMS sensors are not TCP/IP devices and therefore should not be connected
directly to any wiring infrastructure that is connected to network equipment as a hub,
router, or switch. Sensors use RJ-45 plugs and cables similar to those used with
Ethernet devices.
Mounting
The temperature sensor may be mounted directly on a surface using double-sided tape (included) or
it may be secured to equipment using tie-wraps. The choice depends on your application.
Configuration
All IMS Solution sensors are auto-configured when you plug them into the Host or Node. When a
new sensor is plugged into the Host or Node, the configuration is set to the factory default via the
Sensor Template. If you have modified these templates, the configuration will be set to the modi-
fied configuration. When a sensor is removed, or the connection is disrupted, the configuration
data remains intact but the sensor will go into trouble status and generate a trouble alarm. When
the sensor is plugged in again, or the connection is re-established, configuration data remains
unchanged and the sensor returns to normal operating condition.
Caution : Removing a sensor for less than 60 seconds does not produce a trouble alarm.
Removing or unplugging a sensor for more than 60 seconds or plugging in a different
sensor at any time will cause a trouble alarm.
