Battery Backup - Sensaphone IMS-4010 User Manual

Network Configuration Definitions
Parent Host IP Address: This is the IP address of the IMS-4000 Host that this Node is associated with.
Node IP Address: This is the IP address assigned to the IMS-4000 on your network. This address is
provided by you or your network administrator. It is formatted as a standard dotted decimal number.
Subnet Mask: This is the subnet mask which distinguishes the portion of the IP address that is the
network ID from the portion that is the station ID.
Default Gateway: A TCP/IP network must have a gateway to communicate beyond the LAN identified
by the network ID. A gateway is a computer or router that is connected to two different networks and can
move TCP/IP data from one to the other. If your TCP/IP network has more than one LAN, or if you are
connecting to the Internet, you will need to know the
IP address of the gateway that will transfer TCP/IP data in and out of your LAN. A single LAN that is not
connected to other LANs does not require a gateway setting.
DNS Server: The DNS server is used to translate site names into actual numeric network addresses. Enter
the IP address of the DNS server for your network.
Node Name: This name will appear in the IMS-4000 ConsoleView Software. In systems with many
Nodes, the Name is useful for identifying one node from another.
Ethernet Mode: The unit defaults to Compatibility Mode, which means it will try connecting to the
network using 100Mbps half duplex, and if it is unsuccessful it will then try 10Mbps half-duplex. Other
settings are available to force the device to either 10 or 100Mbps. An Auto setting is also available which
will attempt a full duplex connection, however, this may not be compatible with certain network hubs/
switches.
Programming
The IMS-4010 Dry Contact Node will appear in the IMS-4000 ConsoleView Software as a Node device
below the Host. Refer to the IMS-4000 User's Manual for sensor programming instructions.

Battery Backup

The Dry Contact Node is designed to use rechargeable batteries only. The device includes (4) AA nickel
metal hydride (NiMH) 2600mAhr rechargeable batteries. The batteries will keep the device operating for
approximately seven hours in the event of a power failure. The unit will maintain proper charging of the
batteries while power is on. Do not install alkaline batteries - they will damage the device and leak. The
batteries should be replaced every 4-5 years.
To replace the batteries, turn off the power switch and remove the cover. Remove the old batteries from
the battery holder with a small screwdriver. Install the new NiMH rechargeable batteries following the
polarity markings in the battery holder. Re-attach the top cover and turn on the power switch. Allow up to
48 hours to charge a new set of batteries.
