Introduction

Features

American Power Conversion’s stand-alone Environmental Monitoring Unit (

AP9312TH

and

AP9312THi

) continuously senses temperature and humidity and monitors contacts. You can control the unit through Web, Control Console, or

SNMP

interfaces. Additional features include:

• Four zones of contact monitoring, each of which supports both normally open and normally closed contacts.

• Compatible sensors for fire, water, smoke, unauthorized entry, physical secur ity, or other external con ditions that can be measured by contact closure.

• Probes that can report temperature from

140° F

) and relative humidity levels from 10% to

to 60° C (32

• Two levels of user access: – Administrator – Device Manager

• Brackets for mounting the unit in an enclosure or other standard (

EIA-310-D) 19

-inch rack.

• E-mail notification for abnormal contact conditions or out-of-range temperature and humidity.

• Basic and

Installation

Installing outside an enclosure

Installing in an enclosure

To install the Environmental Monitoring Unit outside an enclosure, place it on a flat surface in a protected area with adequate air flow and minimal dust. Do not operate the unit where temperature and humidity are outside the limits specified on page 19.

To install the Environmental Monitoring Unit in a NetShelter enclosure or other standard (

1. Attach the rack-mount brackets (

870-8183

) to the unit using the four flat-head screws.

2. Using the supplied hook and loop fasteners, if needed, place each probe in an area that is within the environmental limits specified on page 19. The location must be free from direct sunlight, excessive moisture (such as dew), dust, chlorine gas, and insecticides. Do not cover any of the probe’s ventilation holes.

Connection process: overview

Connecting dry contact devices

You must perform two proced ures to set up con tact monitoring.

• See “Contact Sensors” on page 7 to select and connect contact sensors.

• See “Connecting dry contact devices” on this page.

To connect dry contact devices to the Environmental Monitoring Unit:

1. Connect contact closure sensors to the removable screw terminal block as described in “Contact Sensors” starting on page 7.

2. The connector accepts wire sizes from

26 AWG (0.4

) to

mm2). Remove

14 AWG (1.6

0.25

" (6 mm) of

the wire’s insulation.

3. Connect the screw terminal block to the unit’s Sensor Zones connector.

Following is an example of a completed installation:

To complete the setup, see “Quick Configuration” on page11.

you can use any normally open ( dry contact sensors. These sensors include:

• Magnetic contact switches

• Window foils

• Tamper switches

• Heat detectors

• Water sensors

• Pressure sen sors

Note: Connecting sensor inputs to circuits other than dry

closure circuits voids the warranty and may damage to the unit.

To monitor sensors that require power, the Environmental Monitoring Unit provides

of the Sensor Zones connector. These sensors include:

• Passive infrared (body heat) detectors

• Smoke sensors

• Photo relay detectors

Connection information

Multiple sensors in a zone

The Environmental Monitoring Unit supports normally open and normally closed loop systems and allows mixing of normally open and normally closed sensors on any zone:

Note: Do not connect the unit’s sensors with sensors from any

other system.

T o use more than one senso r on a zone, connect normall y open sensors in parallel and normally closed sensors in series:

To avoid receiving alarms for unused zones, install a jumper wire between the unused zone.

No further configuration is required. The remaining properties of the unit have default settings. However, you may want to customize settings for your application. See “Managing the Unit” in the

User’s Guide (usrguide.pdf

Choose the configuration method that matches your environment:

• If you are using Windows

, see “Through the Management Card Wizard” on

, Window 98, or Windows

this page.

• If you are not using a Windows-based platform, or if you require direct serial configuration, see “Serially through the Control Console” on page 12.
