Physical Description
The IMS-1000 is housed in a 14"w x 1.75"h x 7"d enclosure, which is 1 EIA rack-mount space
high.

This jack is for connecting to your network so that the IMS-1000 can send e-mail, display it’s web
page and ping selected network servers and/or services. Two LEDs indicate received data (green)
and transmitted data (yellow).
Phone Jack (optional)
Connect the IMS-1000’s Phone jack to a standard 2-wire analog phone line. The unit dials using
touch-tones, with loop start only. The IMS-1000 will recognize ringer frequencies from 16 to 60 Hz
and will operate with all standard analog telephone systems that accept tone dialing.
Certain private telephone systems and public switching equipment may not accept the unit’s dialing
or may generate an unacceptable ring signal. In those cases, a dedicated line may be required for
the unit. Consult the supplier of your telephone system if you encounter problems.
CAUTION: Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm. Never install telephone
jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically designed for wet locations. Never touch
uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has been disconnected at the
network interface. Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.
Sensor Inputs
The sensor inputs are designed to interface with IMS series sensors (See Chapter 5). The use of
RJ-45 jacks for sensor inputs allows the use of existing structured cabling to connect remote sen-
sors.
