introduction

The IMS-4810 temperature sensor is designed to connect to the IMS-4000 Host or Node and monitor indoor temperatures.

The electrical connection between the sensor and IMS-4000 is made via RJ-45 patch cable (not included). The sensor may

be mounted either on a wall or to a single-gang electrical box.
Package Contents

(1) IMS-4810 Temperature sensor
(2) Plastic drywall anchors
(2) #6 Metal tapping screws
(1) 1⁄16" hex key

Cabling

The temperature 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.

Mounting

The temperature sensor can be mounted directly on a surface or attached to a single-gang electrical box. Consideration

should be given to cable routing before attaching the sensor to the wall. Will the cable go through the wall (cable hidden) or

will it run down the wall (cable visible)? Once this has been determined, run the cable to the location where the sensor will

be installed.

electrical box installation

Bring the RJ-45 cable through the electrical box. Remove the sensor cover by turning the two hex screws on the bottom of

the sensor housing clockwise. Bring the cable through the back of the sensor and connect the cable to the jack as shown in

Figure 1. Attach the sensor to the electrical box using the appropriate screws. Secure the sensor cover by turning the two

hex screws on the bottom of the cover counterclockwise.
