Connecting External Sensors
To install an external sensor, plug the sensor into an available
External Port on any Sensor Pod 120.
Notes: Be sure to note both the Sensor Pod 120 serial number
(located on the back of the pod) and the number of the
External Port on the pod when you connect the cable; you
will need this information when you use the Sensor Pod 120
task to configure your WallBotz 500. The External Port
number is printed above the port on the pod.
If the external sensor cable is not long enough, use a
Extension Cable for External Sensors (available in 50’ and
100’ lengths from your NetBotz reseller) to lengthen the
cable.
When you have finished installing, use the Sensor Pods task to
configure the WallBotz 500 to use the external sensor. Once you
have configured your appliance, an additional temperature sensor
will appear in the Sensor Data pane when the pod to which it is
connected is selected from the Navigation pane. You will be able
to use the Advanced View
Sensor Pods task to specify thresholds
for this external sensor.
