About the Connect Sensor I/O interface
You can wire analog and digital inputs and outputs on the Connect Sensor general purpose I/O
interface.
Note
If you are using a Modbus-enabled external sensor device, you must wire the sensor device to a
serial output. Note that the Modbus protocol is available only with Connect Sensor+.
Make sure Connect Sensor has cellular connectivity before wiring sensors to the I/O interface. After
setting up Connect Sensor and wiring the I/O interface, use Remote Manager to remotely configure
I/O settings.
Connect Sensor hardware replacement
Connect Sensor hardware can be replaced with Connect Sensor+ hardware, which provides additional
external device monitoring features, such as using the HART® protocol and the Modbus protocol.
Digi Device Cloud and Digi Remote Manager
To serve our customers most effectively, Digi International Inc. consolidated its cloud services, Digi
Device Cloud and Digi Remote Manager®, under the Remote Manager name. This phased process does
not affect device functionality or the functionality of the web services and other features. However,
you will find instances of both Device Cloud and Digi Remote Manager in some documentation,
firmware, and user interfaces.
Safety notices and certifications
Digi products are designed to the highest standards of safety and international standards compliance
for the markets in which they are sold. However, cellular-based products contain radio devices that
require specific consideration. Make sure you read and understand all of the safety notices, warnings,
and cautions for this product. Digi International assumes no liability for failure to comply with the
safety precautions.

CSENSE Continuous Monitoring firmware
When you update Connect Sensor with the CSENSE Continuous Monitoring firmware option, Connect
Sensor supports only one power output (A1 Pwr), which is on all the time. Multiple sensors can share
this supply, but all sensors must have the same input voltage and must be wired to A1 Pwr.
