IMS-4862 Smoke Detector Sensor
Installation Instructions
Introduction
The IMS-4862 Smoke Detector Sensor is designed to
connect to the IMS-4000 Host or Node and monitor
for smoke in indoor environments. The electrical
connection between the sensor and IMS-4000 is made
via the attached RJ-45 patch cable. The sensor may be
secured to a wall or ceiling (hardware not included).
Cabling
The Smoke Detector 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 environmental
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 such as a
hub, router, or switch. Sensors use RJ-45 plugs and cables similar to those used with
Ethernet devices.
Mounting
The sensor may be mounted directly against a wall or ceiling (hardware not included).
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.
The smoke alarm is a latching alarm device. To reset the smoke alarm, momentarily disconnect the
cable from the front panel of the IMS Host or Node and then reconnect it.
!
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.
