Mains Present Sensor

Mains Present sensor is directly connected to the i-BOX through one of the 14 ports on the back using a standard sensor cable. Once the sensor has been detected by the i-BOX, a new device wizard will appear on the screen.

Follow the on-screen prompts to add the sensor to the database. Use the cable ties on the sensor to strap the sensor onto the mains cable.

Please note: in order for the mains present sensor to work reliably, the i- BOX must be earthed. Every mains present sensor is supplied with an earth cable & plug. Connect the earth cable to the i-BOX as demonstrated in the picture and plug the other end into the electrical socket.

Settings for the Mains Present sensor could be accessed in the environment section. In the main screen click on the environment button. Select the appropriate i-BOX from the menu on the left and click on the mains present sensor.

The default settings are displayed in the screen-shot below. You may use alternative settings if you wish. Remember you have to press “Save” for the new settings to take effect. If at any time you wish to restore the default settings press the Auto Setup button located at the bottom of the screen.

Read frequency indicates how often the sensor checks the presence of mains in the cable; Reporting frequency shows how often the reading is reported & Store frequency indicates how often the reading is stored in the log file. The Gain value (0<Gain<63) determines the level of sensitivity of the sensor. You may need to change this value depending on the thickness of the insulation on the mains cable. As this value increases the sensor becomes more sensitive. In order to tune the sensor you need to change the value of Gain and try to find the point where the sensor starts to detect the mains. Try to find the point where you’re getting Off/Present readings
