DX Series
A DX sensor package consists of terminals, sensors and two RJ‑45 ports.
Dierent DX sensor packages have a dierent number of terminals. Every pair of terminals is a channel
for connecng a sensor or actuator.
DX contact closure channels support the following types of sensors:
• Door open/closed detecon•
• Door lock detecon•
• Smoke detecon•
• Vibraon detecon•
DX contact closure channels do NOT support any water detecon sensors.
Important: Third-party leakage detectors may also not work, so you must test them
before using.
No sensor cables are shipped with DX sensor packages.
▶
With standard network patch cables (CAT5e or higher), you can:
• Connect a DX sensor to a supported managing device with the RJ‑45 SENSOR port.•
Excepon: For a device with an "RJ‑12" SENSOR port, an RJ‑12 to RJ‑45 adapter cable (part number:
RJ12M-RJ45M) is needed.
• Daisy chain DX sensor packages.•
Warning: Do NOT use a crossover cable for connecon.
