Installing the xSenso

Be sure to place or mount the device securely on a flat horizontal or vertical surface. The device comes with mounting brackets for mounting the device vertically, for example on a wall. If using AC power, avoid outlets controlled by a wall switch.

Observe the following guidelines when connecting the analog input and output devices:

It is recommended to use twisted-pair wires to connect analog sensors and xSenso. If EMC is a concern, shielded wires and/or ferrite bead may be used to improve signal integrity in noisy environment.

Connect your RJ-45 Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 port of the unit.

The xSenso supports a power range of 9 to 30 VDC. You can power up the device with barrel- power connector and/or the 3 pin terminal connector for backup power supply.

Note: As soon as you plug the device into power, the device/sensors powers up automatically, the self-test begins, and LEDs would indicate the device's status

Perform the following steps to install your device:

1.Connect analog devices to the analog input and relay output ports.

2.Hook up power excitations from xSenso to analog sensors/devices if needed and if xSenso meets the power requirement.

3.Connect a RJ-45 Ethernet cable between the unit and your Ethernet network.

4.Plug the xSenso into the power outlet by using the included power supply.

5.Power up analog input devices/sensors if they are not powered by xSenso excitation.

6.Power up device to be controlled by relay or supply power to be controlled by relay.
