IMS-4841 15A High Current Sensor
Installation Instructions
Introduction
The IMS-4841 15A Current Sensor lets you monitor
current consumption of a particular device or circuit
anywhere within your infrastructure. It reports the actual
current flow 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-4841 can monitor current from 0-15 Amps over
a voltage range from 0–250VAC 50/60Hz. The sensor
comes with IEC320 C14 inlet and C13 outlet connectors.
Cabling
The Current Sensor 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 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 IMS-1000 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.
Connect your power source (120-250VAC 50/60Hz) to the inlet of the Current Sensor. Connect
your device(s) to the outlet of the current sensor. Power cables are available to make these connec-
tions (see below):
