How to Install the EA9103 Temperature & Humidity Sensor

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing and configuring the EA9103 Temperature & Humidity Sensor for environmental monitoring.

Estimated time: 30m

Tools needed:

Screwdriver, Wire strippers

Supplies needed:

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

  1. Secure the sensor box

    Thread a cable tie through the recessed channel in the sensor box and through the perforated rack enclosure door to secure the sensor box in place.

  2. Route the RJ45 cable

    Use the remaining cable ties to secure the RJ45 cable along the desired path to the PDU, ensuring it is neatly organized.

  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 or Inline Energy Meter. Wait 1-3 minutes for the PDU to recognize the sensor.
