This Quick Start Guide will show you how to set up the Climate Guard LT in five simple steps. For detailed configuration and
setup information, visit www.burk.com/downloads, select the Climate Guard support page and download the Climate
Guard & Plus-X EM Installation and Operation Manual.
2NETWORK SETUP
1. Plug in the power cord and connect the Climate Guard LT to your network via the rear-panel
Ethernet connector.
2. If your network supports DHCP functionality, a dynamic IP address will be assigned to the unit. If
DCHP is not supported on your network skip ahead to step 3 now. To access the unit, launch a web
browser and enter the hostname CLIMATEGUARDLT/ in the browser’s address field then skip to step
5. Be sure to include the forward-slash symbol in the hostname.
3. If your network doesn’t support DHCP, the Climate Guard LT will assign itself the default IP address
192.168.0.100. You will need to connect a PC with a web browser to the Climate Guard LT at this IP
address before you can change the network settings on the unit. One way to do this is to unplug
your PC from any other LAN and connect your PC to the Climate Guard LT via a network switch or a
cross-over ethernet cable. Then configure your PC with a compatible IP address so that you may
connect to the Climate Guard LT. Running Windows, the following steps will allow you to configure
your PC with a compatible IP address:
1 From the Control Panel, select Network Connections. 5 Select Properties.
2 Double-click the icon for the network you will be using. 6 Choose “Use the following IP address” and enter an IP address of
192.168.0.x, where x is any valid address location except 100.
3 On the General tab, click Properties. 7 Enter Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
4 Click Internet Protocol version 4 “TCP/IPv4”. 8 Click OK.
4. Open a browser and enter the Climate Guard LT default IP address of 192.168.0.100.
5. The web page will prompt you to set a password for the administrator account.
6. The login screen will then be displayed. Enter the username admin and the password you supplied
above.
7. The first screen displayed after initial login is an abbreviated Network page requiring you to enter a
static IP address for the Climate Guard LT. Check with your network administrator for an available
IP address that is not within the DHCP address range.
10. To verify communication, open a command prompt on your computer and ping
the address you just assigned to the unit to ensure it is correctly configured.
8. Your browser will be automatically redirected to the new IP address. If your initial
connection was made without DHCP, your PC should now be restored to its prior
network settings and both the PC and the Climate Guard LT should be connected
to the normal LAN.
9. Log in to the Climate Guard LT at its new static IP address, go to the Settings tab
on the web page and select Network to change the network information.
Add the following network information and select save to confirm the changes.
a. NetBIOS/Hostname – This name should be changed from its default value of
CLIMATEGUARDLT so conflicts will not occur if multiple devices of the same
model are installed on the network.
b. IP Address – This field will display the static IP address you entered in a
previous step.
c. Subnet Mask – Check with your network administrator otherwise the factory
default setting can be used.
d. Gateway – Check with your network administrator otherwise the factory
default setting can be used.
f. Primary and Backup DNS - Check with your IT administrator otherwise the value
8.8.8.8 can be used.
(1) Climate Guard LT Unit
(1) Ethernet Cable
(1) Power Cord
e. HTTP Port – Check with your network administrator. The factory default setting
is port 80.

3 INSTALLING SENSORS AND SWITCH INPUTS
5SNMP CONFIGURATION
Sensor input cabling may be
extended using RJ-12
Couplers and additional
Sensor Cables, available from
Burk Technology.
Digital sensors may be daisy
chained using Burk part
numbers: RJ-12 Splitter,
Sensor Cable, and Sensor
Cable - Daisy Chain as shown
in the diagram. The Burk
Sensor Cable has cross-over
wiring, while Sensor Cable-
Daisy Chain has straight-
through wiring.
The Climate Guard LT supports digital sensors for temperature and humidity monitoring, powered
switch inputs such as motion sensors and smoke detectors and unpowered switch inputs like door
contacts providing up to 32 sensors within the Climate Guard LT.
Wiring digital sensors and powered switch inputs
External sensors connect to the front panel Sensor inputs. The pinouts for the front panel Sensor inputs
are follows:
4CONFIGURE SENSOR INPUTS
Both digital sensors and switch inputs appear automatically on the Sensors page
of the Climate Guard LT web interface. Once the wiring of the sensors and
switch inputs is complete, you can begin to configure the inputs. Click the Edit
button next to a digital sensor to edit its settings.
The following settings are configurable:
To set the email (SMTP) settings for Climate Guard LT, use the Email link on the
Setup page. The following parameters are available:
Important Note: Be sure the Climate Guard LT input port
is connected with a Burk Sensor Cable (Crossover) to
the first sensor in the daisy chain.

6CONFIGURE EMAIL SETTINGS AND NOTIFICATIONS
To configure Climate Guard LT’s SNMP features, use the SNMP link on the
Setup page and check the SNMP check box to enable SNMP.
Click the link labeled Download the Climate Guard MIB to download the
unit's MIB file. The MIB file defines the SNMP OIDs that your SNMP Manager
can use when communicating with Climate Guard LT.
Climate Guard LT supports up to three SNMP managers. In the event of an
alert, Climate Guard LT will send an SNMP trap to each manager.
For each manager, enter the IP address or hostname and port number
(usually 162). Click the Save button to save your settings.
Select OID Mapping from the Setup page to assign specific SNMP Object
Identifiers to individual sensors. This OID assignment capability allows you to
directly control which sensors are associated with particular functions when
integrating Climate Guard LT with third party SNMP management systems.
a. Email server - Enter the IP address or hostname of your SMTP server.
b.
c.
Email port - Enter the port number used by your SMTP server or accept the
default value of 587.
From -Enter a valid email address to be used as the from address for
Climate Guard LT notifications.
d. SMTP server requires security - Check this checkbox if your SMTP server
requires you to log on to send email.
e. Username - Enter the username to log into the email server. Usually this is
your email address.
f. Password - Enter your SMTP password or application password if applicable
(i.e. gmail SMTP servers).
g. SMTP protocol - Select Cloud Service to make use of the Burk Email Cloud
Service.
h. Cloud Server - The default address for the Burk Email Cloud server is
