introduction
The IMS-4840 External Power Sensor lets you monitor power anywhere within your infrastructure. It reports any loss of
power and measures the current voltage 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-4840 can monitor voltage from
0–250VAC 50/60Hz.

Cabling
The Power 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.
