MOUNTING

Most of the ENVIROMUX Temperature and Humidity sensors are intended for indoor use only. These sensors can be mounted in any position but include a keyhole slot on the back to enable quick wall-mounting if desired.

Note: When mounting the ESTHS-LSH Low Self-Heating Temperature\ Humidity Sensor, it is best to mount the sensor vertically with the fan's exhaust facing up to help to prevent dust from accreting.

If you have purchased an ENVIROMUX Sensor with a DIN rail clip for DIN rail mounting, see the drawing (page 2) for instructions to install the sensor to the DIN rail.

E-STHS-LCDW

The E-STHS-LCDW is a Temperature and Humidity sensor built into a large wall-mount LCD display with 2” character height for easy viewing from a distance. There are two key-hole slots on the back, 4-1/2” apart, for hanging the sensor on the wall. A template has been provided to make placement and hardware location easy. There are also two brackets (with screws) that can be mounted to the sides. These are provided for an alternate method of mounting.

CONNECT SENSORS

RJ45 Sensors

The temperature and humidity sensors for the E-16D/5D/2D and E-SEMS-16(U) Enterprise Environment Monitoring Systems have RJ45 connection ports. Connect each sensor to one of the female connectors labeled "RJ45 Sensors" on the ENVIROMUX using CAT5 cable. The male RJ45 connectors should snap into place. (See page 12 for wiring specification an d pinout.) The CAT5 cable that connects the sensor to the ENVIROMUX can be up to 1000 feet in length (except for E-STHS-LCDW, which is limited to 150 feet).

Note: It is very important to locate the temperature and/or humidity sensors away from ventilation so urces and fans.

Note: Shielded CAT5 cable is required between the sensor and the ENVIROMUX to maintain CE compliance of the sensor.

Figure 3- Connect Sensors using CAT5 cable with RJ45 connectors

Application Note:

When connecting temperature and humidity sensors to the ENVIROMUX, the web interface will identify the sensor accordingly for the type of sensor it is. The status bar and configuration page will enter the maximum and minimum range that this type of sensor can display if used with the ENVIROMUX, not necessarily the operating range of the sensor itself. The various temperature and humidity sensor models offered by NTI have varying ranges of performance capabilities, as indicated in the table on page 9. Be sure to match the sensor installed to the operating range of the environment it will be expected to work in. Using a sensor outside of its intended temperature range may result in damage to the sensor.

This is the range the ENVIROMUX will display, not necessarily the range the sensor will work within. See specifications for the sensor being installed for the proper operating environment.

E-STHS-LCDW

The E-STHS-LCDW is a temperature/humidity sensor with built-in LCD display that has 2” tall characters for easy viewing from greater distances. humidity ±4% RH (30°C). It includes two touch-sensitive buttons. One to control the LCD display illumination, and the other to cycle the display mode between temperature in degrees Fahrenheit, temperature in degrees Celsius, and percentage of humidity. The E-STHS-LCDW includes slots on the back for hidden mounting hardware and two brackets for alte rnative mounting from the sides.

To use the MODE button, touch and release to cycle the display from Degrees F. to Degrees C, and to percentage of Humidity, and once again to return to Degrees F. The display will hold the mode set, each time, until MODE is touched again.

To use the LIGHT button, touch to illuminate the display for 5 seconds. To keep the display illuminated, touch and hold the LIGHT button for at least 6 seconds. Touch and release again to have illumination stop after 5 more seconds.

To mount the sensor, use the hardware provided to secure the sensor to the wall (see pages 2- 3). Once it is mounted, connect a CATx cable between the RJ45 connector and the ENVIROMUX monitoring system.

The cable from the ENVIROMUX will attach to the sensor at the RJ45 port on the bottom of the E-STHS-LCDW. The E-STHS-LCDW will be powered by the ENVIROMUX Monitoring System through the CATx cable. We recommend using CAT5/5e/6/6a cable (minimum 24 AWG) up to 150 ft (45.7 m) long.

Note: If a longer cable is used (up to 1000ft), the MODE button will not work when the display is illuminated by pressing the LIGHT button.

Note: The CATx cable from the E-STHS-LCDW to the E-xD cannot exceed 150ft.

Sensor Calibration

All temperature/humidity combination sensors and humidity-only sensors are designed to be accurate within the specifications stated in the chart above. They are not designed to be re-calibrated. In the event you want the calibration of your sensor to be checked, please contact NTI for an RMA to return your sensor. Sensor accuracy will be checked for a nominal charge. Sensors within warranty that are found to be out of factory specification will be repaired or replaced at no additional charge. Normal labor or replacement charges will apply to sensors out of warranty and out of specification.

Power Consumption

All of our temperature and temperature/humidity sensors operate at 5VDC and draw betwee n 10-56mA (the highest being the ESTHS-LCDW).

Page 13

NTI ENVIROMUX TEMPERATURE/HUMIDITY SENSOR ATTACHMENT

Accuracy

The reported accuracy of these sensors is based on an environment of moving air. In a stagnant air environment, the sensor may read higher than actual temperature.

Coverage

The coverage area for temperature/humidity sensors cannot be specified as there are too many variables that can affect the range in a sensor's environment.

Behavior

When an E-STHS-xx, E-STHSB or E-STHSM-E7 is connected to an ENVIROMUX system, three sensors values will be reported for the connected port;

First will be displayed the observed temperature value of the sensor. Second will be displayed the observed humidity value of the sensor. Third, is a calculated value using the observed Temp and Humidity values calle d Dew Point. Dew point temperature is

the value where 100% humidity would be achieved. If air and/or surface temperatures are below this value, condensation will occur.

Dew Point Measurement as it relates to Electronic Equipment

The dew point is the temperature at which air becomes saturated with water vapor. When further cooled, the airborne water vapor will condense to form liquid water (Dew is an example).

The two primary factors influencing the Dew Point is Temperature and Relative Humidity. As the humidity rises the closer the Dew Point will be to the current temperature.

In a controlled environment it is important to keep condensation away from electronic equipment. Most electronic equip m ent will be susceptible to failure in a condensing environment.

Also in very low Dew Point environments static discharge events are more likely to occur, again putting electronic equipment at risk.

Note: For people, Dew Points higher then 21°C (70°F) and below -22°C (-8°F) are uncomfortable environments.

Warnings and Alerts from the ENVIROMUX

Setting the Dew Point alerts will depend upon the environment that is being monitored.

An example would be an equipment room that normally operates at 21°C (70°F). It may be desirable to be warned when the Dew Point reaches 19°C (66°F) and alerted when the Dew Point reaches 21°C (70°F)

as condensation would become a high probability.

For low Dew Points, it may be desirable to be warned when the Dew Point reaches -1°C (30°F) and alerted when the Dew Point reaches -4°C (25°F) as these conditions would be perfect for static discharge events.

RJ45 Sensor Cable

The CAT5 connection cable between the ENVIROMUX and connected external sensors is terminated wi th RJ45 connectors and must be wired according to the EIA/TIA 568 B industry standard. Wiring is as per the table and drawing below. The sensors that connect to “RJ45 Sensor” ports (E-16(U)/xD) are all designed to use cables wired to this standard.
