DOOR-01: How to install Flange Mount Proximity sensor (Door Open/Closed) directly on LSR/GSR DIO

DOOR-01: How to install Flange Mount Proximity sensor (Door Open/Closed) directly on LSR/GSR DIO

The DOOR-01 sensor ensures rack/cabinet doors are in the proper position using this proximity sensor. You don’t need standby power and can simply install using adhesives or hardware. This hermetically sealed, magnetically operated sensor works through wood, plastic, and other non-ferrous materials, with contacts that function even after optical and other technologies fail due to contamination. Read door status using CLI, Web, SNMP or Restful APIs.

The sensor DOOR-01 can be connected directly to the DIO of the GSR or the LSR models.

Hardware Installation

The DOOR-01 sensor components are:

-          Actuator

-          Sensor

-          Extension


         1. Connect the cable extender to the sensor.

         2. Remove the connector at the other end of the cable extender, you can remove the connectors from the housing or cut and have open wires.

         3. Insert the wires into the Molex Term Block (shown below) provided with the GSR/LSR hardware.

      

         4. Identify the LSR (or GSR) Digital Input/Output connectors, labeled DIO0 and DIO1 and insert the Molex connector.
