The rear view of the sensorProbe8-X60 shows the 60 dry contact inputs, the 8 intelligent sensor
ports, the 10/100 Ethernet port, the 5VDC AC power input jack and the GND ground stud.
Extra dry contact input practical applications:
The extra dry contact inputs can be used to monitor many types of equipment, for example, you
can run the connection from warning lights on alarm panels to the dry contact inputs, so that
when the warning light on the alarm panel is activated, the dry contact is triggered in the units
web interface, thus allowing you to send notifications via emails or SNMP traps.
X20/X60 response or read time. We guarantee the read time is 2 times per second, but actually
this will vary more than that depending on the environment (number of sensors online, request
http, send mail etc.).
I. sensorProbe8-X20/X60 – DCW & PoE Type Units
DCW Units - sensorProbe8-X20 & X60 DCW – The DCW power inputs are circled in the above
image. The DCW internal power supply option is only available on the X20 and X60 units. The
dual inputs can provide redundant power to the units when connecting two separate voltage
sources. The DCW units support +/- 48VDC operating voltage.
PoE Units - sensorProbe2, sensorProbe4, sensorProbe8 & SP8-X20/X60 – These units can be
ordered with the PoE option where the units can be powered by a PoE enabled network switch.
The PoE module supports IEEE 802.3af and IEEE 802.3at.
2) Installation
Assigning an IP address
These units are plug and play devices that will easily connect to your existing network
setup. Every unit ships with a default IP address. This is 192.168.0.100. The first steps
you will need to undertake to install your unit will be to assign it an IP address to match
your current network configuration. Before starting this, ensure you have the following
items:-
1. RJ45 CAT5 yellow crossover cable with RJ45 male connection
Updated until firmware 476
