GETTING STARTED
To begin using the RIM-1000, users must install the unit, wire and connect the power, and set the IP address. Any accessories for
the RIM-1000 should also be connected at this time (e.g., keypad connection, Modbus connections, Expansion Cards, etc.)
2.1. Installation
The RIM-1000 comes in a 19 inch (.48m) rack mount enclosure. Install the RIM-1000 in the rack. Use the proper anchoring method to
mount the unit securely. Supply either 24VDC (standard) or 48VDC (optional) to the unit.
Units have different model numbers. Before applying power to the unit, verify the model number and power rating
located on the back of the unit. The RIM-1000 will either be a 24VDC or a 48VDC device.
2.2. Rim-1000 Wiring
CPI recommends an 18AWG stranded copper wire for connection from each monitored point to a terminal block (TB) connection
on the RIM-1000. CPI recommends no more than 500 feet (152.4m) of wire at this specification. Shielded twisted pair wiring is
recommended for analog signal transmitters being wired outside of conduit runs and dropped ceiling applications.
2.2.1 Power Supply and Ground Connections
Connect an 18AWG ground wire from the ground terminal to a suitable earth ground.
