Figure 2: Connections to the IMS-4851
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 4-20mA 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
The 4-20mA Bridge has a fixed table range of 0-100% for a 4-20mA signal. This means that the
displayed value in the ConsoleView software will be 0 to 100%. All IMS Solution sensors are
auto-configured when you plug them into the IMS-1000. When a new sensor is plugged into the
IMS-1000, the configuration is set to the factory default via the
Sensor Template.
If you have mod-
ified these templates, the configuration will be set to the modified 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 con-
nection is re-established, configuration data remains unchanged and the sensor returns to normal
operating condition.
