7.8 Environmental Connections
The IDH4X and IDH4L have the capability to monitor and control enclosure environmental heating and
cooling. Typically this is used for battery mat heaters in cold environments, however the functionality may
be implemented to control enclosure fans or air conditioners. The following section will outline the details
of the controls available and will include an example of a typical battery heater mat configuration and
explanation of the settings.
7.8.1 Connecting the Battery Heater Mat Controller
Power to the heater mat is provided via a customer-supplied controller plugged into the power
outlet inside the enclosure. A cable (Alpha p/n 875-627-22) connects the controller to the ENV
(Environmental) connector on the IDH4X and IDH4L. The connection procedure is shown below.
1. Connect the 4-pin connector from the controller
cable (Alpha p/n 875-627-22) into the base of the
Heater Mat Controller.
2. Plug the controller into the power
outlet.
4. Plug the 6-pin connector into the ENV
connector.
3. Plug the Heater Mat into the
controller.
Once the connection has been made, Environmental Control Management can be configured on
the transponder's Web page as indicated in the following tables. The Environmental Control MIB
section begins at atiMgmtSysTempMgr (1.3.6.1.4.1.926.1.3.2.4).
Status of the Environmental Control is also available on the transponder’s Web page.
