Chapter 5: DPX2 Series Connection and Disconnection Before connecting a DPX2 sensor to a Raritan or Legrand product, you must connect it to a DPX2 sensor cable first. If any connected sensor is broken, you can replace it with a new one without disconnecting the DPX2 sensor cable from the Raritan or Legrand product.
Page 55
Chapter 5: DPX2 Series Sensor connection guidelines: Always make sure there are NO free head connectors between the sensor cable's RJ-12 connector and the final DPX2 sensor attached to it. That is, each head connector prior to the final DPX2 sensor must be occupied with a sensor.
Chapter 5: DPX2 Series Disconnecting a DPX2 Sensor You can remove any individual DPX2 sensor from the sensor cable whenever needed. To disconnect a DPX2 sensor: 1. Press the latch of the cable connector so that the other side of the latch slightly goes up.
Chapter 5: DPX2 Series Connecting a DPX2 Sensor Package to DX2, DX or DPX3 You can connect one DPX2 sensor package to the "end" of a DX2, DX or DPX3 sensor chain. It is strongly recommended to use an RJ-12 to RJ-45 adapter for connecting the DPX2 to the final DX2, DX or DPX3 in the chain.

Chapter 5: DPX2 Series When connecting a DPX2 sensor package containing "one" DPX2 sensor: A maximum of eleven DX sensor packages can be cascaded because 12-1=11.
DPX is the first generation of Raritan environmental sensor packages. Most DPX packages come with a factory-installed sensor cable with an "RJ-12" connector. DPX supports the use of a Raritan sensor hub to increase the number of connected DPX sensors. In This Chapter Available DPX Sensor Packages ...............

As shown in the following diagram, all sensors have been connected to the sensor cable, when shipping out of the factory, in a manner that you cannot remove or replace any individual sensor.
Chapter 6: DPX Series DPX Air Flow Sensors If a DPX air flow sensor (DPX-AF1) is connected, make sure the sensor faces the source of the wind (such as a fan) in the appropriate orientation as indicated by the arrow on that sensor. To affix this sensor to an object or place, just screw it up using the sensor's two screw holes.
Chapter 6: DPX Series Number Component Description 'In' port Connect to a Raritan or Legrand product. (RJ-12) If cascading multiple air pressure sensors, connect this port to the 'Out' port of another sensor. 'Out' port Use this port for cascading air pressure sensors.
Plug the other end into a Raritan or Legrand product's sensor port. An RJ-12 to RJ-45 adapter is required if your Raritan PDU has an RJ-45 SENSOR port, such as PX3. 2. Connect one DPX sensor package to the air pressure sensor's "Out"...
Door lock detection Smoke detection Vibration detection However, Raritan produces floor water sensors, which can be connected DPX Floor Water Sensors to and work with DPX-CC2-TR. See (on page 63). When using third-party probes, you must test them with DPX-CC2-TR to ensure they work properly.
Page 66
Failure to follow installation and configuration instructions can result in false alarms or no alarms. Raritan makes no statement or claim that all third-party detectors/switches will work with Raritan's contact closure sensors.
Chapter 6: DPX Series Connecting Detectors/Switches to DPX-CC2-TR DPX-CC2-TR comprises two parts: sensor box and terminal module. The terminal module is detachable so it is convenient to connect/disconnect discrete detectors/switches. Below are the resistance values for DPX-CC2-TR to open and close a connected detector/switch reliably.
Page 68
Chapter 6: DPX Series 3. Use a screwdriver with a 2.5 mm wide shaft to tighten the screws above each termination point to secure the wires, using a torque of 0.196 N·m (2 kgf·cm). To make connections after the terminal module is separated: You can also connect a detector/switch when the terminal module is separated from the sensor box.
Chapter 6: DPX Series 3. After connecting detectors/switches to the terminal module, plug the terminal module back into the sensor box, and then tighten the screws at two sides of the terminal module. Configuring a DPX Contact Closure Sensor Before using DPX-CC2-TR to detect contact closure status, water, smoke or vibration, you must determine the normal state by adjusting its dip switch.
DX2-CC2 Contact Closure Sensor LEDs (on page 16). Proper LED behaviors of DPX water sensors: For Raritan's DPX water sensors, the Normal state must be set to Normally Open (N.O). The following is the correct LED behavior based on proper dip switch settings.
Note that only the DPX-CC2-TR support these water sensors. Other Raritan contact closure sensor packages do not support them. Note: If you order a Raritan DPX water sensor with the part number containing the suffix -KIT, you get the DPX-CC2-TR, which supports it.

The cable water sensor is in the shape of a cable so it can be flexibly placed, twisted or wrapped around a location where water may drip, such as a ceiling tile, water pipe or the floor. Raritan provides two types of cable water sensors. The only difference is their cable length. ...
Page 74
Chapter 6: DPX Series How a Cable Water Sensor Works The cable water sensor uses black wires on the water rope to detect the water. When there is water between two black wires, it causes current loop back to trigger the alarm on the water sensor. Mechanical information about black wires: ...
Page 75
Chapter 6: DPX Series The alarm requires some water between two black wires for a while. If there are just few water drops on the cable water sensor, no alarms are triggered. The water sensor's rope should be mounted on the floor firmly, or the water sensor cannot detect the water.
Raritan or Legrand product. Other sensor-mixing connections than those shown in this chapter are NOT supported. Make sure your Raritan and Legrand products have been upgraded to version 3.4.20 or later to support these sensor-mixing combinations.

DPX3-ENVHUB4 supports all Raritan sensor packages, including DPX, DPX2, DPX3, DX and DX2. Each sensor port on a Raritan or Legrand product, such as a PDU, supports only one Raritan sensor hub so DO NOT cascade sensor hubs. DPX series: DPX series' supported distance is determined by the length of the sensor cable pre-installed (or provided) by Raritan.
