This manual comprises the instructions and commands necessary to install and program the IMS- 4000. Additional summary and application chapters are included to help you speed programming and to understand IMS-4000’s features. You should thoroughly read this manual to establish a basic understanding of the system and keep it as a reference.
Chapter 1: Installation HOST INSTALLATION and CONFIGURATION Physical Description The IMS-4000 Host is housed in a 17"w x 1.75"h x 10"d enclosure, which is 1 EIA rack-mount space high. Front Panel Layout The front panel contains connections for eight sensor inputs, microphone input, Ethernet port, serial port, and status LEDs.
IMS-4000 Manual Sensor Inputs The sensor inputs are designed to interface with IMS-4000 series sensors (See Chapter 7). The use of RJ-45 jacks for sensor inputs allows the use of existing structured cabling to connect remote sensors. Since the sensor produces an analog signal, it must connect directly to the Host or Node. The path from the sensor to the IMS unit CANNOT pass through a network Hub or Switch.
Requires 1.0 EIA rack mount space. Tabletop requirements: Flat area which can support an enclosure 17" wide by 10" deep by 2" high. Rack Mount Installation The IMS-4000 Host can be rack mounted using the included rack mount brackets. Follow the steps below:...
The IMS-4000 Host can be wall mounted using the optional wall mount brackets. Follow the steps below: 1) Attach the optional wall mount brackets to the sides of the IMS-4000 using the eight black #6-32 screws. A Phillips screwdriver will be required. (Order part # IMS-4406 Universal Wall Mount Kit) 2) Attach the unit to the wall using two screws per side.
For example: Suppose you have an IMS-4000 installed in room A and you want to install a sensor in room B. If your existing cabling infrastructure has an unused cable path between room A and room B, then you simply use an RJ-45 interconnect cable to connect the IMS-4000 to the patch panel in room A, and an RJ-45 intercon- nect cable from the wall jack in room B to the sensor.
