RJ-45 10/100Base-T Ethernet Port
This jack is for connecting to your network so that the IMS-4010 Dry Contact Node can communicate
with the IMS-4000 Host. Two LEDs are provided to indicate Link Status (green) and Receive Data status
(yellow).
Power Switch
The power switch connects main power and battery power to the system. In the event that main power
fails, the backup battery will automatically power the device.
Sensor Inputs
The eight sensor inputs connect to your normally-open or normally-closed dry contacts. You may need to
loosen the screw terminals before inserting the wire. Be sure to strip at least 1/2" (1.27cm) of insulation
from the wires before inserting them into the terminal strip. Do not over-tighten the screw terminals.
Dip Switches
The inputs must be configured as either normally open or normally closed using the dip switches located
on the bottom of the enclosure. The switches are numbered 1-8 corresponding to the 8 inputs. The OFF
position is for Normally-Open (default) and the ON position is for Normally-Closed. A pen or small
screwdriver can be used to move the dip switches.
Installation
The device can be either wall mounted or rest on a shelf or tabletop. The enclosed screws and drywall
anchors can be used for wall mounting. Drill holes as shown below and insert the drywall anchors, then
attach the enclosure with the screws.
Network Configuration
The IMS-4010 Dry Contact Node has a serial port on the side which is used to configure network
settings. A dumb terminal or terminal emulation software is required to get online and set up the
configuration. The port is male DTE, so a DB9 female–female null modem cable will be required.
Terminal communication settings must be set to:
• 9600 baud, no parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no flow control
