Operation
1. Power up the ENVIROMUX (if not already powered ON), or, when used, connect the AC adapter to an appropriate power source.
The LEDs on the Detector will flash red to indicate the sensor is functioning and in status-ready condition. The LEDs will illuminate
solid red when smoke is detected.
2. Configure the ENVIROMUX to report signals from the connected dry contact sensor as smoke detection sensor alerts. (Refer to
the ENVIROMUX manual for details on configuration- see also example below and on the following pages.) When smoke is
detected, the switch terminals on the ENVIROMUX-SDS-CELC(P) will close to cause an alert message to be sent from the
ENVIROMUX.

Cycle Sensor Power on ENVIROMUX-xD Models
When the smoke detection sensor senses smoke and an alert condition is triggered, in order to reset the smoke detector to a ready state after the
presence of smoke has been resolved, the smoke detector must be power-cycled.
A “Cycle Sensor Power” button (below) is provided for each sensor connected to the “Digital In” terminals on the
ENVIROMUX-16D (locally-powered-by Digital Inputs only). To momentarily disrupt power to any sensor powered-by a Digital Input terminal, click on
this button. The 12VDC power will be disrupted to the sensor for 5 seconds and then automatically restored.
Note: On ENVIROMUX-5D and -2D, the “Cycle Sensor Power” will cause the “AUX PWR” terminals to cycle power. This
will only be effective for the smoke detection sensor if the sensor is being powered from these terminals. If your sensor is
powered, for example, from an AC adapter, the “Cycle Sensor Power” button will have no effect on that sensor, but it will still
cycle power on the “AUX PWR” terminals, disrupting any device getting power from these terminals for 5 seconds. Keep
this in mind if more than one sensor (or device) is being powered from these terminals.
Application Note:
A smoke detector connected to an RJ45 Sensor Port does not have “Cycle Sensor Power” button and must be manually disconnected
(unplugged) and reconnected in order to reset it. To use this feature, make sure the smoke detector is wired to a Digital Input.
Use “Open” if the Detector is configured with
the output relay set to normally-closed (the
default)
