and works in conjunction with the IMS Host. The device communicates with the IMS-4000 Host via its
Ethernet connection. No Dry Contact Bridges are required when using this device. The unit uses four AA
rechargeable NiMH batteries (included) for power backup in the event of a power failure. Both main power
and battery charge are monitored and can be programmed to trip alarms as well. The unit comes in a black

Device Layout

The Dry Contact Node is powered by a 9VDC power supply. The device communicates to an IMS-4000
Host using its Ethernet port (10/100). The network settings must be configured using the serial port and a
terminal emulation program (9600, 8, n,1). All IMS devices must be configured with a static IP address.
The unit also includes a power led and a power switch. See the figure below:
1. 9VDC power jack
2. RS232 Serial port
3. Ethernet port
4. Power led
5. Power switch
6. Input terminal strip
7. Dip Switches (bottom of enclosure)

Serial Port

The RS-232 serial port is used to configure the network settings. The port is DB9 male DTE and operates
at 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit. A DB9 female–female null modem cable is required to
configure the network settings.
