8.3.1 Connecting the EMD and its Sensors
The Environmental Monitor Device (EMD) connects to any serial port on the console server via special EMD Adapter and
standard Cat5 cable. The sensors screw into the EMD.
The EMD is powered over the serial port connection and communicates using a custom handshake
protocol. It is not an RS-232 device and should not be connected without the adapter.
EMD
Plug the EMD adapter’s male RJ connector (model B090-EMD-ADP) into the EMD. Then connect the
adapter to the console server serial port using the provided UTP cable. If the 6 ft. (2 m) UTP cable
provided with the EMD is not long enough, it can be replaced with a standard Cat5 UTP cable up to 33
ft. (10 m) in length (Tripp Lite N002-Series cables).
EMD Adapter
Screw the bare wires on any smoke detector, water detector, vibration sensor, open-door sensor or
general purpose open/close status sensors into the terminals on the EMD.
Screw the bare wires on any smoke detector, water detector, vibration sensor, open-door sensor or
general purpose open/close status sensors into the terminals on the EMD.
B090-WLS – Console Server Water Leak Sensor
B090-DCS – Console Server Door Contact Sensor
B090-VS – Console Server Vibration Sensor
B090-SD-110 – Console Server Smoke Detector – 110V
B090-SD-220 – Console Server Smoke Detector – 120V
EMD sensor
Note: Console servers only support attaching a single sensor to each EMD.
The EMD can only be used with a console server and cannot be connected to standard RS-232 serial ports on other devices.
• Select Environmental as the Device Type in the Serial & Network: Serial Port menu for the port to which the EMD is to
be attached. No particular common settings are required.
• Click Apply.
