Chapter 2: Overview 2. Overview 2.1 Introduction The ServSensor EXP DC16 (EME1DC16) expansion module extends the ServSensor V4E (EME134A) capabilities by connecting an additional 16 opto-isolated dry contacts. This increases the number of data points that can be monitoried from a single ServSensor V4E. 2.2 What’s Included Your ServSensor EXP DC16 package should contain the following items. If anything is missing or damaged, contact Black Box Technical Support at 724-746-5500 or info@blackbox.com.
ServSensor EXP DC16 2.3 Hardware Description 2.3.1 Front Panel Figure 2-1 shows the ServSensor EXP DC16’s front panel, and Table 2-1 describes its components. 4 1 2 3 Figure 2-1. Front panel. Table 2-1. Front panel components. Number Component Description 1 Power LED Lights continuously when the ServSensor EXP DC16 is powered on. If the LED is flashing, there is a problem with the CPU. 2 Link LED Lights when a network connection is present.
Chapter 2: Overview 2.3.2 Back Panel Figure 2-2 shows the ServSensor EXP DC16’s back panel, and Table 2-3 describes its components. 6 5 Figure 2-2. Back panel. Table 2-3. Back panel components. Number Component Description 5 (16) 2-pin ports The 2-pin dry contact ports, numbered 1–16, are used to connect the input voltage. 6 (1) barrel connector This is a 7.5-VDC plug. Use a 7.0–9-V, 2.5-A power supply (included). 724-746-5500 | blackbox.
ServSensor EXP DC16 3. Installation 3.1 Connecting to the Base Unit To connect the ServSensor EXP DC16 to the ServSensor V4E, follow the steps listed below. 1. Connect the cable to your chosen port. See Figure 3-1. Figure 3-1. E1 port. 2. Connect the other end to the “E-in” port. See Figure 3-2. Figure 3-2. E-in port. NOTE: Make sure that the 7.5 volt power supply is connected.
Chapter 3: Installation In the example shown in Figure 3-3, two expansion modules are connected from two separate expansion ports on the ServSensor. In the example shown in Figure 3-4, the same two modules are connected to one expansion port in a daisychain configuration. Figure 3-4. Daisychained configuration. 3.2 Setting up a Sensor (Standard Configuration) This section describes the basic setup of a dry contact sensor in a standard configuration.
ServSensor EXP DC16 Figure 3-6. Summary page. The dry contact sensor should be listed along with its current reading and status. 4. Click on the dry contact sensor’s name (indicated in previous screen). The Sensors page appears. Figure 3-7. Sensors page. NOTE: You can also access this page by clicking on the Sensors tab at the top of the page. 5. Extended ports are listed from 1–4 on the left side of the sensor menu page. Page 12 724-746-5500 | blackbox.
Chapter 3: Installation Figure 3-8. Sensors menu. 6. Click on the dry contact sensor icon (or another type of sensor icon). 7. The page shown in Figure 3-9 appears. Figure 3-9. Sensor Settings page. As with the ServSensor V4E, the procedure for changing sensor values remains the same. For more information on sensor settings, refer to the ServSensor (EME134A) manual or individual sensor manual. 724-746-5500 | blackbox.
ServSensor EXP DC16 3.3 Setting up a Sensor (Daisychained Configuration) This section describes the basic setup of a sensor in a daisychained configuration. It focuses on the dry contact sensor; however, this basic setup process applies to all compatible sensors. If you require information on specific functions of a particular sensor, then download the manual for that sensor from our Web site or locate it on your product CD. Connect the two modules together by following the instructions below: 1.
Chapter 3: Installation 3. When the unit is connected, the LEDs will enter the boot-up sequence indicating that the expansion module (EME1DC16) is communicating with your ServSensor V4E (EME134A). 4. Plug a sensor into one of the dry contact ports on the rear panel of the unit. In this example, we will use Port 1. Figure 3-12. Plug sensor into Port 1. 5. After the unit is connected, access your Web interface, type the desired IP address into your browser and log in, and navigate to the summary page.
ServSensor EXP DC16 Figure 3-14. Sensors page. 7. Click on any available sensor icon (see Figure 3-15). The settings for that particular sensor will appear as shown in Figure 3-16. Figure 3-15. Temperature sensor settings icon. Page 16 724-746-5500 | blackbox.
Chapter 3: Installation Figure 3-16. Sensor Settings page. 724-746-5500 | blackbox.
ServSensor EXP DC16 4. Notifications Set up a notification to define what to do when the sensor gives a reading beyond your previously set thresholds. This allows you to determine how you will be notified that a sensor's reading has reached the specified parameters (high warning, critical, etc.). 4.1 Adding a Notification 1. Login as the administrator. 2. Click the “Notification” tab. 3. Click the “Notification Wizard.” Figure 4-1 appears. Figure 4-1. Notification Wizard tab. 4.
Chapter 4: Notifications Figure 4-2. Notification Wizard page. NOTE: Next you’ll see a sample notification. To learn what the other types of notifications do, refer to the separate notification manuals on your product CD. 4.2 SNMP Traps Set up a notification via SNMP trap, so that when your sensor reaches a certain threshold it will send a notification to your SNMP server. 1. Log in as the administrator. 2. Click on the “Notifications” tab. 3. Choose “Notifications Wizard.” 4. Select “SNMP Trap.
ServSensor EXP DC16 Figure 4-3. SNMP Trap screen. 5. Fill in the following information: • Enter a name for the SNMP notification. • Enter the IP address of the SNMP trap. 6. Press the “Add Trap Destination” button. 7. Input another trap or click the “Next” button. The screen shown in Figure 4-4 appears. Figure 4-4. SNMP Trap Notification screen. 8. Enter the Maximum Times to Resend and the Resend Intervals (secs).
Chapter 4: Notifications 10. Select the expansion board and the sensor. Figure 4-5. Selecting the expansion board and sensor. 11. Select the status and the action. Figure 4-6. Selecting setting and trap name. NOTE: In the example above, the SNMP trap is bound to the temperature sensor that’s connected on Port 1. The trap will be sent when the sensor reads a “High Critical,” and this is bound to the SNMP trap we just created and named “SNMP Trap 1.” 724-746-5500 | blackbox.
ServSensor EXP DC16 12. Once we have created the parameters for the SNMP trap, we need to make it active. To do this, go back to the “Notification” tab. It should look like the screen shown in Figure 4-7. Figure 4-7. Notification tab. Page 22 724-746-5500 | blackbox.
Chapter 4: Notifications 13. Select the sensor and SNMP trap parameters as before. Figures 4-8 and 4-9 appear. Select the expansion board, then select the sensor. Figure 4-8. Select the expansion board, then select the sensor. 14. Select the status, then select the action. Figure 4-9. Select “High Critical,” select the trap name, then click “Finish.” 724-746-5500 | blackbox.
ServSensor EXP DC16 As shown in Figure 4-10, the SNMP trap has been added to the “Notification” page. Figure 4-10. Notification page. NOTE: To remove this trap and make it inactive, highlight the notification and click remove. NOTE: You can repeat this process to set up multiple SNMP traps for different sensors or for multiple SNMP servers. Page 24 724-746-5500 | blackbox.
