Relay port

Connect this relay output port to a notification device to create visual or audio alerts for triggering conditions such
as power output shutdown (once the port conditions, events, and notifications are configured).
The relay contacts may be used to control any
equipment as long as the contact specifications of
a total of 24 V at 1 A are not exceeded for the port.
The relay is normally open by default.
When activated, the open contacts close. They can
be set up to operate in one of two ways:
• Latching (brief or indefinite period contact) —
trigger to close, trigger to open, or
• Pulsed (timed cycle) — trigger to close,
timeout to open, with automatic repeat.
In pulse mode the default timeout period (hold time)
is ½ second (500 ms). Use Global Configurator to
change the length of the timeout period.
NOTE: The pulse function is absolute: it always
sets the relay state to closed, times out (briefly),
then opens the contact. It overrides the previously
selected setting (on state, off state, or toggle).

Temperature sensor port

Connect the thermistor probe here to sense and monitor ambient air or equipment surface temperatures and
allow the system to send notifications when a user-defined temperature limit is exceeded.

Bidirectional Control and Communication Connection

LAN (Ethernet) connector and LEDs

To connect the IPL EXP to an Ethernet network (for configuration and control of the EXP and the devices
connected to it), plug a cable into the RJ-45 socket and connect the other end of the cable to a network switch,
hub, router, or PC connected to a local network or the Internet. DHCP is off by default.
Temperature Sensor
• Connect a thermistor probe here for sensing
ambient temperature or equipment
temperature within a range of -50.0° C to
105.0° C.
• Probe nominal resistance: 10 k
• Probe cable length: 8 feet (2.4 m)
• Set sensor limits and alert noti cations via
Global Con gurator, Global Scripter,
ControlScript Deployment Utility, or SIS.
