Caution:
The IMS sensors are not TCP/IP devices and therefore should not be
connected directly to any wiring infrastructure that is connected to network equipment
such as a hub, router, or switch. Sensors use RJ-45 plugs and cables similar to those
used with Ethernet devices.
Mounting
The Dry Contact Bridge can be mounted to a wall or lie flat on the floor. To mount it to a wall,
install the two drywall anchors (if necessary) and attach the bridge using the two #6 tapping screws.
When installing the sensor on the floor, attach the four rubber feet to the bottom of the enclosure.

Configuration
All IMS Solution sensors are auto-configured when you plug them into the Host or Node. When a
new sensor is plugged into the Host or Node, the configuration is set to the factory default via the
Sensor Template.
If you have modified these templates, the configuration will be set to the modi-
fied configuration. When a sensor is removed, or the connection is disrupted, the configuration
data remains intact but the sensor will go into trouble status and generate a trouble alarm. When
the sensor is plugged in again, or the connection is re-established, configuration data remains
unchanged and the sensor returns to normal operating condition.
!
Caution
: Removing a sensor for less than 60 seconds does not produce a trouble alarm.
Removing or unplugging a sensor for more than 60 seconds or plugging in a different
sensor at any time will cause a trouble alarm.
