How to Install the EA9102 Temperature Sensor

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing the EA9102 Temperature Sensor, ensuring proper mounting and connection to the PDU.

Estimated time: 30m

Tools needed:

Screwdriver, Wire strippers

Supplies needed:

Cable ties (6 count), Standard Ethernet Extension Cable (1.8m), RJ45 Quick Disconnect Coupler

  1. Mount the sensor box

    Secure the sensor box to the perforated rack enclosure door by threading a cable tie through the recessed channel in the sensor box and through the door. Ensure the sensor is firmly attached.

  2. Secure the RJ45 cable

    Use the remaining cable ties to secure the RJ45 cable along the desired path to the PDU, ensuring it is neat and does not obstruct any equipment.

  3. Connect the sensor to the PDU

    Plug the sensor cable (or the connected Ethernet cable) into the Sensor 1 or Sensor 2 port on the PDU/Inline Energy Meter. Wait 1-3 minutes for the PDU to recognize the sensor.
