NTI ENVIROMUX SENSOR INSTALLATION

CONNECT SENSORS TO THE E-XD MODELS
RJ45 Sensors
Several sensors for the E-16D/5D/2D Enterprise Environment Monitoring Systems have RJ45 connection ports. Some of these
sensors include E-STS (temperature only), E-STHSB (temperature and humidity), E-STHS-99 (wide range temperature and
humidity) and E-LDS (liquid detection). In all cases, the CAT5 cable between the sensor and the ENVIROMUX can be up to 1000
feet in length.
Temperature, Humidity Sensors
Note: It is very important to locate the temperature
and/or humidity sensors away from ventilation sources
and fans.
Connect each sensor to one of the female connectors
labeled "RJ45 Sensors" on the ENVIROMUX. Male
connectors should snap into place. See page 7 for wiring
specification and pinout.

Application Note:
When connecting temperature and humidity sensors to the ENVIROMUX, the web interface will identify the sensor accordingly for
the type of sensor it is. The status bar and configuration page will enter the maximum and minimum range that this type of
sensor can operate at if used with the ENVIROMUX, not necessarily the operating range of the sensor itself. The various
temperature and humidity sensor models offered by NTI have varying ranges of performance capabilities, as indicated in the table
on the next page. Be sure to match the sensor installed to the operating range of the environment it will be expected to work in.
Using a sensor outside of its intended temperature range may result in damage to the sensor.
Figure 5- A portion of the sensor configuration page
Note: Shielded CAT5 cable
is required between the
sensor and the ENVIROMUX
to maintain CE compliance
of the sensor.
This is the range the ENVIROMUX will
display, not necessarily the range the
sensor will work within. See
specifications for the sensor being
installed for the proper operating
environment.
