SensorJack™ and EventSensor™ Setup
The T850 sensor port supports up to 16 external sensors to expand the unit’s monitoring capabilities. Refer to the
T850 Hardware Revisions, Sensor Ports and Sensors
section in the Appendices for an explanation of how different
types of EventSensors are supported by the different T850 hardware versions.
Connections
There are two types of Asentria sensor devices: SensorJack sensors, and EventSensor sensors. Each are described
below:
SensorJack sensors use 1-Wire technology and are economical single-purpose environment sensors that connect to
an RJ45 SensorJack port on the Asentria host unit. Note that only T850’s build on hardware Rev F (with RJ45 sensor
port) support SensorJack sensors.

EventSensor sensors (formerly referred to as Type2 EventSensors) are compatible with all Asentria SiteBoss and
TeleBoss products. (Older Type1 EventSensors work only with now-retired products like the Data-Link and SNMP-
Link.)

Configuration of SensorJack sensors and EventSensor sensors is done either via Setting Keys, or within the
EventSensor Device Settings menu of the Asentria host product.
Connections
SensorJack sensors have the sensor on one end and terminate on the other end with an RJ45 plug. This plug
connects directly to the SensorJack port of the host unit. Multiple SensorJack sensors can be daisy-chained together
to one port using an RJ45 T-Splitter (Asentria part# 4162-011). Note that SensorJack sensors will not work if
connected to either the Control or Sensor port of an EventSensor sensor. SensorJack sensors must connect directly
to the host unit or to another SensorJack sensor via a splitter. SensorJack sensors do not have DIP switches and are
automatically slotted into an available sensor slot within the host unit.
EventSensor sensors connect to the host unit and each other via an RJ45/RJ45 Cat-5 straight-through cable. The
cable from the host EventSensor sensor port plugs into the port labeled Control on the first EventSensor. Chain
additional EventSensors together in a variety of ways, but always connecting the Sensor port of one to the Control
port of the next. Be sure to set the DIP switches for each additional EventSensor so that each occupies its own slot
as per the chart below.
