Physical Description
Item | Description | |
1 | AC line inlet | Input power connection. |
2 | Switched Outlet | Provides power to a device at a maximum of 10 A. Activates a connected device when configured events occur. (For example, a fan may be connected to this outlet, and the outlet may be configured to turn on when a high threshold violation occurs for a temperature sensor.) |
3 | Wireless Sensor Network | USB port with NetBotz USB Coordinator (NBWC100U) installed. Used with included Wireless Temperature Sensor (NBWS100T) to monitor temperature. Additional wireless sensors can be purchased separately. |
4 | Rack Access Ports | Ports for the door switch sensors on doors #1 and #2. Ports for the handle sensors (NBHN125 or NBHN1356) on doors #1 and #2. |
5 | Beacon Port | Used for connecting an alarm beacon (AP9324). |
6 | Universal Sensor ports | Used to connect APC by Schneider Electric sensors and third-party dry contact sensors. Third-party dry contact sensors require a Dry Contact Cable (NBES0304). |
7 | USB Port | Used to connect USB devices to the appliance. |
8 | Voltage Output | Provides 12 Vdc or 24 Vdc (75mA) to a connected device. |
Relay Output | Used for connecting relay-controlled external devices. | |
9 | 10/100 Network Port | Provides the connection to the network. Status and link Light-emitting Diodes (LEDs) indicate network traffic. See NetBotz 250 | Network Port Light Indicators for additional information. |
10 | A-Link Ports | Used to cascade NetBotz Rack Sensor Pod 150s (NBPD0150), or connect Temperature/Humidity Sensors with Digital Display (AP9520TH). Provides communications and power using standard CAT-5 cabling with straight-through wiring. NOTE: To cascade multiple devices, connect a supplemental power supply (100-240 Vac/24 Vdc, part number AP9505i) to a NetBotz Rack Sensor Pod 150. |
11 | Modbus RS-485 port | Provides the connection to a building management system using the Modbus protocol. |
12 | Console Port | Used to connect the USB A-USB mini B configuration cable, when configuring initial network settings. NOTE: See knowledge base NetBotz 250 | Configuring Network Settings for instructions on configuring the network settings (TCP/IP) and knowledge base NetBotz 250 | Serial Connection (Driver + Serial Parameters) for instructions on installing the required FTDI VCP driver. |
13 | Power LED | Indicates whether the unit is receiving power (blue = receiving power; dark = not receiving power). |
14 | Reset button | Restarts the Rack Monitor 250 network management interface. |
