Chapter 7: IMS-4000 Sensors
iMs-4841 15 aMp CUrrenT sensor
introduction
The IMS-4841 15 AMP Current Sensor lets you monitor current consumption of a particular device or circuit anywhere
within your infrastructure. It reports the actual current flow in the circuit, allowing you to know the status of each server
rack and even of your remote UPS. Any failed generator starts are reported to you immediately. The IMS-4841 can monitor
current from 0-15 Amps over a voltage range from 0–250VAC 50/60Hz. The sensor comes with IEC320 C14 inlet and C13
outlet connectors.
Cabling
The Current Sensor connects to the IMS-4000 Host or Node via an RJ-45 cable (e.g. CAT5 cable). The connection from the
sensor to the Host or Node can 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.
Connect your power source (120-250VAC 50/60Hz) to the inlet of the Current Sensor. Connect your device(s) to the outlet
of the current sensor. Power cables are available to make these connections (see below):
inlet Cable
IMS-4843 5-15P (US Style 3-prong plug) to IEC-320-C13, 10 ft
outlet Cables
IMS-4844 IEC-320-C14 to NEMA 5-15R (US Style 3-prong receptacle), 1 ft
IMS-4845 IEC-60320-C14 to IEC-60320-C13, 10 ft
host and node firmware requirements
The 15A Current Sensor requires the following firmware versions in the Host and Node(s) for sensor compatibility:
iMs-4000 host
