How to Connect Sensors to Universal Sensor Ports
This procedure applies to the following sensors, which are supported by the Rack Monitor 200 and connect to the universal sensor ports:
•Temperature Sensor (AP9335T)
•Temperature/Humidity Sensor (AP9335TH)
•NetBotz 3.65-m (12-ft) Door Switch Sensor for APC Racks (NBES0303)
•NetBotz 15.24-m (50-ft) Door Switch Sensor for Rooms or Third Party Racks (NBES0302)
•NetBotz Dry Contact Cable (NBES0304)
For sensors that connect to A-Link ports (Temperature Sensors with Digital Display [AP9520T] and Temperature/Humidity Sensors with Digital Display [AP9520TH]), see “How to Cascade Devices to A-Link Ports” on page 12.
Caution: Plugging an incompatible sensor into a port can result in undefined behavior.
Connect APC and third-party dry contact sensors to the six universal sensor ports, labeled Sensors, on the Rack Monitor 200.
•Third-party dry contact sensors require the NetBotz Dry Contact Cable (NBES0304). To connect a sensor to the cable, follow the instructions provided with the sensor and the instructions provided with the cable.
•The length of a sensor cable can be extended using RJ-45 female-to-female couplings and standard CAT-5 cabling. See “System Specifications” on page 24 for maximum cable lengths.
