NTI ENVIROMUX TEMPERATURE/HUMIDITY SENSOR ATTACHMENT

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 and 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 sources and fans.

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 14. 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.
Note: Shielded CAT5 cable
is required between the
sensor and the ENVIROMUX
to maintain CE compliance
of the sensor.
