IMS-4813 Room Temperature Sensor with display (Celsius)

Installation Instructions

Introduction

The IMS-4813 temperature sensor is designed to

connect to the IMS-4000 Host or Node and monitor

indoor temperatures. The electrical connection

between the sensor and IMS-4000 is made via

RJ-45 patch cable (not included). The sensor may

be mounted either on a wall or to a single-gang

electrical box.

Cabling

The IMS-4813 temperature 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.

Mounting

The temperature sensor can be mounted directly on a surface or attached to a single-gang electrical

box. Consideration should be given to cable routing before attaching the sensor to the wall. Will the

cable go through the wall (cable hidden) or will it run down the wall (cable visible)? Once this has

been determined, run the cable to the location where the sensor will be installed.

Electrical box installation

Bring the RJ-45 cable through the electrical box. Remove the sensor cover by turning the two hex

screws on the bottom of the sensor housing clockwise. Bring the cable through the back of the sensor

and connect the cable to the jack as shown in Figure 1. Attach the sensor to the electrical box using

the appropriate screws. Secure the sensor cover by turning the two hex screws on the bottom of the

cover counterclockwise.
