Mounting
The 4-20mA Bridge can be mounted to a wall or lie flat on the floor. To mount it to a wall, install the two drywall anchors
(if necessary) and attach the bridge using the two #6 tapping screws. When installing the sensor on the floor, attach the four
rubber feet to the bottom of the enclosure.

Configuration
The 4-20mA Bridge can display a scaled value to match the calibrated range of your transducer. You must have updated ver-
sions of ConsoleView software (v3.0.15) and IMS4k firmware (v3.00) to get this feature. In the ConsoleView Software open
the Channel Properties screen and click the SubType drop down menu, then choose Custom Table Limits. Insert the Low
(4mA) and High (20mA) values for your transducer into the Table Low and Table High fields. The IMS-4000 will display the
scaled value. You may wish to include the units of measure in the Channel Name field.
All IMS Solution sensors are auto-configured when you plug them into the Host or Node. When a new sensor is plugged
into the Host or Node, the configuration is set to the factory default via the Sensor Template. If you have modified these
templates, the configuration will be set to the modified configuration. When a sensor is removed, or the connection is dis-
rupted, the configuration data remains intact but the sen¬sor will go into trouble status and generate a trouble alarm. When
the sensor is plugged in again, or the connection is re-established, configuration data remains unchanged and the sensor
returns to normal operating condition.
Caution: Removing a sensor for less than 60 seconds does not produce a trouble alarm. Removing or
unplugging a sensor for more than 60 seconds or plugging in a different sensor at any time will cause a trouble
alarm.
host and node firmware requirements
The 4-20mA Bridge requires the following firmware versions in the Host and Node(s) for sensor compatibility:
