Dx Sensor Packages - LEGRAND Raritan PX3TS User Manual

DX Sensor Packages

Most DX sensor packages contain terminals for connecting detectors or
actuators. For information on connecting actuators or detectors to DX
terminals, refer to the Environmental Sensors and Actuators Guide (or Online
Help) on Raritan website's
You can cascade up to 12 DX sensor packages.
When cascading DX, remember that the PX3TS only supports a maximum of 32
sensors and/or actuators.
If there are more than 32 sensors and/or actuators connected, every sensor
and/or actuator after the 32nd one is NOT managed by the PX3TS.
For example, if you cascade 12 DX packages, and each package contains 3
functions (a function is a sensor or actuator), the PX3TS does NOT manage the
last 4 functions because the total 36 (12*3=36) exceeds 32 by 4.
Tip: To manage the last several sensors/actuators after 32nd function, you can
release some "managed" sensors or actuators, and then manually bring the last
several sensors/actuators into management. See
Numbers Components
RJ-45 ports, each of which is located on either
end of a DX sensor package.
RJ-12 port, which is reserved for future use
and now blocked.
Removable rackmount brackets.
Connect DX to the PX3TS:
1. Connect a standard network patch cable (CAT5e or higher) to either RJ-45
port on a DX sensor package.
2. If you want to cascade DX packages, get an additional standard network
patch cable (CAT5e or higher) and then:
a. Plug one end of the cable into the remaining RJ-45 port on the prior
DX package.
b. Plug the other end into either RJ-45 port on an additional DX package.
Repeat the same steps to cascade more DX packages.
