Connecting Sensors

The RIM-600 Node has eight sensor inputs. Each input can accept any sensor type. Sensors are available to monitor the following:

n Temperature	n Smoke
n Humidity	n Security
n Water detection	n Motion
n AC voltage

n Alarm contacts from external equipment

All RIM-600 sensors connect to the Node using standard RJ-45 cables. This makes it easy to con- nect sensors directly to the unit. Simply plug one end of the cable into the sensor and the other end into one of the sensor inputs on the Node.

Another benefit of using RJ-45 connectors is that you can easily locate sensors at distant locations within your facility by using your existing structured cabling. For example: Suppose you have an RIM-600 Node 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
