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. 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.
1. Plug the sensor into one of the dry contact ports on the rear panel of the unit. In this example, we will use Port 1. See Figure
3-5.
Figure 3-5. Plug the temperature sensor into Port 1.
2. Type the IP address of the unit (default, 192.168.0.100) into your browser.
3. Log in as the administrator using your administrator password (the default is “public”). The Summary page will appear as
shown in Figure 3-6.

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. Insert a straight-through CAT5 cable into the “E-out” port.
Figure 3-10. E-out port.
2. Insert the other end of the CAT5 cable into the “E-in” port.
