IMS-4810 Room Temperature Sensor
Installation Instructions
Introduction
The IMS-4810 temperature sensor is designed
to connect to the IMS-4000 Host or Node and
monitor indoor temperatures. The electrical
connection between the sensor and IMS-4000 is
made via RJ-45 patch cable (not included). The
sensor may be mounted either on a wall or to a
single-gang electrical box.

Cabling
The temperature sensor connects to the IMS-4000 Host or Node via an RJ-45 cable (e.g. CAT5
cable). The connection from the sensor to the Host or Node can utilize your existing network wir-
ing infrastructure. For example, the sensor may be installed in another room or another floor.
Connect the sensor to your structured wiring network via an RJ-45 jack. At the other end, connect
a patch cable from your structured wiring patch panel directly to the Host or Node environment
input.
Caution: The IMS sensors are not TCP/IP devices and therefore should not be connected
directly to any wiring infrastructure that is connected to network equipment such as a
hub, router, or switch. Sensors use RJ-45 plugs and cables similar to those used with
Ethernet devices.
Mounting
The temperature sensor can be mounted directly on a surface or attached to a single-gang electrical
box. Consideration should be given to cable routing before attaching the sensor to the wall. Will the
cable go through the wall (cable hidden) or will it run down the wall (cable visible)? Once this has
been determined, run the cable to the location where the sensor will be installed.
Electrical box installation
Bring the RJ-45 cable through the electrical box. Remove the sensor cover by turning the two hex
screws on the bottom of the sensor housing clockwise. Bring the cable through the back of the sen-
sor and connect the cable to the jack as shown in Figure 1. Attach the sensor to the electrical box
