RIM-750: Rear Connections and Configuration Button

Digital Inputs

The RIM-750 can monitor eight digital inputs, each of which connects to the RIM-750
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 RIM-750, 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.

Output

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 RIM-750.

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 RIM-750 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.

Configuration Button

The configuration button is located on the back of the unit and is used for advanced
troubleshooting. Consult the troubleshooting guide on the RIM-750 web page www.

chatsworth.com/Products/Environmental-Monitoring-and-Security/RIM-750/

Mount the Controller

Once all connections have been wired to the RIM-750, mount the device in an
appropriate location. CPI recommends a secure mounting through the keyhole cutouts
on the enclosure or the optional 1U rack mount kit (P/N 60107-001).

Establish Communications

Through DHCP, the RIM-750 can be set up to communicate on your network.
**Please NOTE: If DHCP is not available on your network, the RIM-750 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.

1. Plug the enclosed network cable into an available network port and then into the
Network connection on the RIM-750. As soon as you plug the network cable into
the powered RIM-750, DHCP assigns the RIM-750 an IP address.

2. Using a computer running on the same subnet as the RIM-750, open a web
browser. In the web browser’s address bar, type cpi-serialnumber/ where serial
number is the actual serial number of your RIM-750 (For example: cpi-a005ff/). Be

sure to place the backslash after the serial number. This will ensure the browser
executes a DNS lookup instead of a web search.

3. Press enter. The browser will find the newly installed RIM-750 and allow you to
access the RIM-750’s web interface.

4. You may either leave the IP address as it is or change it to an IP address provided
by your IT department. If you’d like to change the IP address, click the Setup tab,

and then click on the Network link. Type the desired address into the IP address
field, and click the Save Settings button.

Web Interface

Dashboard

The Dashboard is your main point of contact for the RIM-750. Accessible from any web

browser or mobile device, the Dashboard display includes the status of all sensors,
digital inputs and sensing cables connected to and monitored by the RIM-750.

As you connect sensors to the RIM-750,
their information appears on the Dashboard.
If you have leak detection sensing cable
connected to the RIM-750, you will need to
use the Inputs tab on the Setup menu to
enable the leak detection monitoring. Then
it will also appear on the Dashboard. Other
items that can be configured to display on the
Dashboard include: digital inputs, a button to
control the relay output and displays from IP
web cameras. Configure these items on the
Sensors, Inputs and Reporting tabs of the web
interface.

Setup Menus

Use the menus in the Setup tab to configure your RIM-750. When you begin typing
changes into any of the fields, they will turn either green to indicate your changes
are acceptable, or red, to indicate your changes cannot be submitted. If a field turns
red, you’ve likely typed more characters than the field can accept, or you’ve entered
a character that can’t be used in that field. Once you delete the excess or offending
character, the field will turn green again.

When you edit a section, a Save Settings button appears at the bottom of that section.
Click this button to save your changes. Changes will neither be saved nor implemented

until you click the Save Settings button.

Network

Use the network tab for settings, including the device name, NetBios name, IP address,
primary DNS and NTP server.

The NetBios name is used to identify resources on a local network. The default NetBios
name is the RIM-750’s serial number. The RIM-750’s NetBios name can also be used ­only on a local network - to quickly access the RIM-750’s web interface. Edit the NetBios
name as you’d like. It must be 15 characters or less and in all capital letters. Save your
changes, then, in the web browser’s address bar, type cpi-netbiosname/, and press
enter; however, replace the netbiosname text with
the actual NetBios name of your RIM-750. For
example if the NetBios name of the RIM-750 is
SERVERROOM, so type cpi-SERVERROOM/ in the
address bar. Place a backslash after the NetBios
name. This ensures the browser executes a DNS
lookup instead of a web search. Press enter to
access the web interface.

You can choose to use DHCP to obtain an IP
address or to assign the RIM-750 a static IP. If you
choose static IP, fill in the blanks with information
provided by your network administrator, and remember to save your settings.

Sensors

Use the sensors tab to configure information, alarm parameters and alarm notifications
(email, audible, activate relay output, etc.) for each 1-wire sensor that is currently
connected to the RIM-750.

Inputs
Leak Detection

The RIM-750 monitors up to 200 feet of leak
detection cable, configured in a single zone.

If you have leak detection cable connected to
the RIM-750, you will need to use this menu
to enable the leak detection monitoring. Once

leak detection is enabled, the leak detection
cable icon will appear on the RIM-750’s
Dashboard.

Use the Inputs tab to set the sensitivity for
the cable. If you select high sensitivity, the
RIM-750 will alarm when it contacts a smaller
amount of water. If you select low sensitivity, the RIM-750 will need to come in contact
with a larger amount of water before it issues an alarm. Then, establish notification
parameters for a detected leak or cable break, and save your changes.

Digital Inputs

Use the Inputs tab to name your digital inputs and to configure alarm and notification
parameters (email, audible, enable relay output, etc.) for each input.

Keep in mind the “When” box will tell the RIM-750 when to send an alarm. For
instance, if your digital input is normally open, the RIM-750 should generate an alarm
when that contact is closed. So for that input, you’d select “Closed” in the When drop
down, and then decide what notification action the RIM-750 should take.

Network Cameras

Want to view your remote facility any time, from anywhere? Use a web camera. Once
you have one installed and running in your facility, you can link to it from the RIM-

750. Enable the webcam capabilities, use the fields to name the camera and direct the
RIM-750 to its streaming image. You can also enter a URL that will take users directly
to the webcam. The RIM-750 can provide views to four cameras. Once each camera is
enabled, it will appear on the RIM-750’s Dashboard.

Reporting
Email Notifications

Use this feature to send email alerts when
the RIM-750 goes into alarm. Enable email
notifications, and enter the email addresses in
the Recipients box. Recipients will receive all
email alerts generated by the RIM-750.

Once you save any changes made within this
section, a test email button appears. Send
a test email to ensure your notifications
are working correctly and that your spam
filter hasn’t blocked the incoming email
notifications.

Dashboard Options

Use the Reporting tab to designate English (Fahrenheit) or metric (Celsius) display
units.

Relay Output

When you enable the relay output, a button to control
the relay output appears on the Dashboard. The button
allows approved users to open and close the relay output
from the RIM-750’s Dashboard. Use the options that appear
to configure the labels on that button. Any alarm condition

that is configured to change the state of the relay output will
override the manual button control of the relay. If an alarm is
active, you cannot turn off the alarm with the manual relay
control button.

Trending and Logging

Once trending is enabled, a graph will appear on the Dashboard. To examine the points
on the graph in greater detail, use your mouse to highlight a section of the graph and
zoom into it, or use the slider bars beneath the graph to adjust the range of the graph.
Double click anywhere on the graph to return to the default view.

The sample period designates the amount of time that passes between logged data
points on the trending graph, and can be set from one second to one day. The F200
records up to 86,400 points - a shorter sample period records more closely grouped
points for a shorter overall period of time, while a larger sample period charts data
points spaced farther apart, but over a greater overall period of time.The trending log is
downloadable as a CSV file.

Enabling event logging generates a table on the Dashboard that logs all major
alarm events with a date and time stamp, as well as the return to normal date and

time for each event.

SNMPv2 and Modbus TCP

The RIM-750 can be configured to communicate via SNMPv2 and Modbus TCP. If
you wish to use this functionality, configure the settings on this page. Note that links
in these headings allow you to download the SNMPv2 MIB file to view the current
readings of all the RIM-750’s Modbus TCP registers.

Refer to the Modbus register list on the RIM-750 web page www.chatsworth.com/

Products/Environmental-Monitoring-and-Security/RIM-750/ for details the RIM-750’s

Modbus capabilities.

Admin
Firmware Updates

When you click the Check for Updates button, the RIM-750 will check to see if it needs
a firmware update. If it does, it will download and install the firmware on its own, and
then reboot itself once the firmware is installed. Once the reboot is complete, the RIM­750 will be ready to resume its operations. Please be sure not to access or configure
the RIM-750 while it’s downloading and installing new firmware.

System Controls

The reboot button allows users to remotely reboot the RIM-750. Use the Identify button
to make the unit’s LED flash and its audible alarm sound. This helps users connect a
web interface with an actual physical unit.

Users

Two types of users can be configured on the RIM-750. Up to eight usernames can be
configured in each of the two categories. Each username can be used by only one user
at a time. It is very important for each user to have his/her own username.

• Admin User - Admin Users can view and edit the RIM-750’s Setup screens.

• Normal User - Normal (Read Only) Users can only view the RIM-750’s Dashboard.

There are three login configurations:

• Never - Users are never required to log in. Anyone can view the Dashboard and
Setup screens, and anyone can change the RIM-750’s configuration through the
Setup screens.

• To Change Settings - A login is NOT required to view the Dashboard. Only users
logged in as Admin Users can view and edit the Setup screens.

• Always - All users are required to log in. Normal Users can only view the
Dashboard. Admin Users can also view and edit Setup screens.

A relay control checkbox is also located on this page. If you check this checkbox, only
Admin users will be able to operate the Relay button on the Dashboard.

Logout

If you’re logged into the RIM-750 and have finished your configuration work, click this
link. It will log you out of the device and return the view via your workstation back to its
read-only state.
