EMS 200
TM
: Front Connections, Silence/Reset Button, and LED
1-Wire Sensor Connections
Plug in your temperature and temperature/humidity sensors. They click into place in the
sensor ports on the front of the unit.
Power Connection
The EMS 200
TM
is powered through its mini USB port. Using the included cable, plug the
mini end of the USB cable into the power jack on the EMS 200
TM
. Plug the enclosed USB wall
charger into a standard wall outlet and plug the UBS cable into it. The EMS 200
TM
can also be
powered by a USB connection on a server or another computer — just be sure the computer
is plugged into a wall outlet, preferably one protected by a UPS.
Network Connection
Plug the network cable into an available network port and then into the network connection
on the EMS 200
TM
.

Digital Inputs
The EMS 200
TM
can monitor eight digital inputs, each of which connects to the EMS 200
TM
through a 2-wire connection on the back of the unit. When you’re looking at the back of the
unit, note that input 1 is on the right side of the terminal blocks and input 8 is on the left side
of the terminal blocks.
To connect your digital inputs to the EMS 200
TM
, loosen the screws on the appropriate slots
on the terminal block connector and insert the two wires from your digital input — one in
each slot. Tighten the screws to secure the connections.
Leak Detection Sensing Cable
Since leak detection sensing cable cannot connect directly to a controller, leader cable is
used to connect leak detection cable to the EMS 200
TM
.
1. Remove the 4-pin terminal block connector from the back of the unit.
2. Insert the four stripped wires of the leader cable into the
appropriate slots in the terminal block connector — from left to
right: white, black, green, and red. Tighten the screws on the
terminal block connector to secure the leader cable. Plug the
connector — with the wires in the correct order — into the leak
detection leader cable connection.
3. Unscrew the EOL from the end of the leader cable.
4. Attach the length of sensing cable to the leader cable.
5. Route the sensing cable according to your cable layout diagram.
6. Secure the EOL to the unoccupied end of the sensing cable.
Relay Output
The EMS 200
TM
has one relay output — use this to control an external device in the event
of an alarm condition. Loosen the screws on the appropriate slots on the terminal block
connector and insert the wires for your relay output into the correct slots — NC-NO-C.
Tighten the screws to secure the connections.
Confi guration Button
The confi guration button is located on the back of the unit and is used for advanced
troubleshooting. Consult the EMS 200
TM
Troubleshooting Guide for more information.
Mount the Controller
Once all connections have been wired to the EMS 200
TM
, mount the device in an appropriate
location. Upsite recommends a secure mounting option, through either the keyhole cutouts
on the enclosure or through the optional 1U rack mount kit.
Establish Communications
Through DHCP, the EMS 200
TM
can be set up to communicate on your network.
**Please NOTE: If DHCP is not available on your network, the EMS 200
TM
will default to an
IP address of 10.0.0.188. If this is the case at your facility, skip steps 1– 3, enter the default IP
address into your web browser address bar, and proceed to step 4.
