SITETPI-E V3
Product Specification/Installation Sheet
Description
The Liebert SiteTPI-E is an Ethernetready device intended to interface
specifically to a SiteScan Web system.
It is a 32-bit microprocessor-based
device designed to monitor third-party
equipment via an EIA-485/232
Modbus interface.
Logically the device sits on the
Ethernet network, providing the
interface to SiteScan Web. This
effectively creates a router/gateway
and third-party interface in a single
device. Screw terminal blocks are
provided to terminate power,
communication and input signal
wiring.

Module:
11.295 x 0.56 x 7.5 (286.9 x 14.2 x 190.5)
• One (1) Ethernet 10/100BaseT RJ-45 port
• One (1) Configurable Serial Port - EIA-232 or 485 (2- or 4-wire)
• 5-position Terminal Block
• One (1) CMnet EIA-485 Port - Control Module network screw terminals
• Switch-selectable baud rates ARC156 / 9600 or 38.4bps
• Recommended wire: MAGNUM Cable P/N A3-ARC-156-2
• BACnet Port (ARCNET156 or EIA-485 communication): In ARCNET156 mode, the port speaks
BACnet ARC156. In EIA-485 mode, DIP switch settings specify baud rate and protocol: BACnet
MS/TP or Modbus (RTU or ASCII).
• Port S1 (BMS connection): Normally configured for a Building Management System; may be
configured for EIA-485 or EIA-232. Supports BACnet MS/TP, BACnet PTP and Modbus (RTU or
ASCII) protocols.
• Port S2 (MFR connection): Connection to manufacturer’s equipment; jumper enables EIA-485 or
EIA-232 mode. Supports BACnet MS/TP, BACnet PTP and Modbus (RTU or ASCII) protocols.
• Rnet: Local laptop and/or BACview access port. Conforms to the BACnet Advanced Application
Controller (B-AAC) Standard Device as defined in BACnet 135-2001 Annex L.
20°F to 140°F (-29°C to 60°C); 10 to 90% relative humidity, non-condensing.
Note: Control modules should be installed within the building.
