Chapter 4: Connecting External Equipment (Optional)

2. Plug the male phone connector of the X cable into the RJ-12

SENSOR port of the EMX device.

This step is required for

enhancing the power supply to asset sensors.

3. Plug the male RJ-45 connector at the longer end of the X cable into

the RJ-45 port labeled "Input" on the composite asset sensors.



A maximum of 5 additional composite asset sensors can be

connected to the first composite asset sensor being attached to
the X cable. See

Connecting Composite Asset Sensors

(AMS-Mx-Z)

(on page 35) for step-by-step instructions.
