IMS-4842 20A High Current Sensor
Installation Instructions
Introduction
The IMS-4842 20A Current Sensor lets you monitor
current consumption of a particular device or circuit any-
where within your infrastructure. It reports the actual cur-
rent 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-
4842 can monitor current from 0-20 Amps over a voltage
range from 0–250VAC 50/60Hz. The sensor comes with
IEC320 C20 inlet and C19 outlet connectors.
Cabling
The Current Sensor connects to the IMS-1000 via an RJ-45 cable (e.g. CAT5 cable). The
connection from the sensor to the IMS-1000 can utilize your existing network wiring
infra¬structure. 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 IMS-1000
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. Heavy duty power cables are available to
make these connections (see below):
IMS-4846 5-15P to IEC-320-C19, 10' Cable
IMS-4847 IEC-320-C20 to 5-15R, 1' Cable
IMS-4848 IEC-320-C20 to IEC-320-C19, 6' Cable
IMS-4849 IEC-320-C13 to IEC-320-C20, 7' Cable
Mounting
The sensor can be mounted to a wall or lie flat on the floor. To mount the sensor to a wall, install
four drywall anchors (if necessary) and attach the Current Sensor using four #6 tapping screws.
