IMS-4851 4–20mA Bridge
Installation Instructions
Introduction
The IMS-1000 4–20mA Bridge allows you to
connect a 4–20mA transducer to your IMS-1000.
The 4–20mA Bridge features optical isolation
between the input and the IMS-1000, which ensures
trouble-free operation and safety. The electrical
connection between the bridge and IMS-1000 is
made via RJ-45 patch cable (not included). The
bridge may be mounted either on a wall or rest on
the floor.

" stripped bare wire into the slot and tighten the screw. The Current Flow light will glow
steadily when current is flowing into the bridge from the transducer. Note that a 4-20mA trans-
ducer typically requires you to have an external DC power supply for the transducer. A 24VDC
supply is available from Sensaphone (FGD-0053).

Cabling
The 4-20mA Bridge connects to the IMS-1000 via an RJ-45 cable (e.g. CAT5 cable). The connec-
tion from the sensor to the IMS-1000 can utilize your existing network wiring infrastructure. For
example, the bridge may be installed in another room or another floor. Connect the bridge 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.
