T/Mon Overview1
DPS is proud to announce the latest in alarm management technology - the T/Mon. It combines T/Mon
NOC and EXP technology into one, blazing fast device. The T/Mon yields a cleaner configuration,
especially for redundant systems. T/Mon features all the flexibility you expect from T/Mon, with a much
faster processor and more RAM- just to name a few enhancements - as it lays the foundation for the
future of T/Mon.
The T/Mon Remote Alarm Monitoring System is a multiprotocol, multifunction network alarm manager
designed as a single-platform solution for all alarm monitoring applications. T/Mon collects alarm data
from a wide variety of equipment, regardless of manufacturer or protocol, and displays the state of your
entire network in one interface, eliminating the need for specialized terminals. T/Access is a thing of the
past for the LNX, as it supports a fresh, new web interface offering more flexibility and visibility than ever.
Immediate benefits of upgrading to the T/Mon platform:
·6 10/100/1000 NICs versus a single 10/100 in the
NOC. With multiple LANconfigurations becoming
increasingly popular for security reasons, your T/
Mon LNXcan communicate on 6 networks while
maintaining IP segregation. *For LNX and G2
only. T/Mon MINI G2 has 2 10/100/1000 NICs.
·Processes more ASCIIjobs, virtual polling loops,
and more GFXconnections - faster
·Completelycompatible with existing T/Mon EXP
applications, such as the SQL History Agent and
Voice Dialer
·On-board RAID 1 for true hard drive
redundancy
·Better multi-tasking environment to allow more,
faster

Hardware Installation4
Mounting4.1
Slide Rack Mounting - Optional Accessory (T/Mon LNX only)
The Slide Rack enables the T/Mon LNXto easily slide out of its rack position for installation and service
access. Your T/Mon shipped with the Slide Rack already mounted to the unit and with the specified rack
ears in the correct position for installation. Installing the T/Mon with Slide Rack takes three steps:
1. Removing the Slide Rack from the T/Mon
2. Mounting the Slide Rack on the equipment rack
3. Mounting the T/Mon on the Slide Rack.
Note: The T/Mon with Slide Rack occupies 6 rack units of space. At least 1 rack unit (1 3/4”) should be
allowed above the T/Mon for ventilation. The Slide Rack extends nearly 13” — be sure to provide
adequate service loop in the connecting cables to allow the T/Mon LNXto extend to this distance. After
installation and testing of the T/Mon is completed, the slide lock screws should be installed in the Slide
Rack to prevent accidental migration of the unit into the aisle space. The slide lock screws go into the
equipment rack when flush mounted.
Removing the Slide Rack From T/Mon LNX
Removing the Slide Rack makes mounting the T/Mon is an easy, one person, job. To remove the Slide
Rack, follow these steps:
1. Make sure the T/Mon is off and disconnected from all network interfaces and power supplies.
2. Carefully place the T/Mon upside down on a clean, even surface. (This will not damage the unit.)
3. The T/Mon is secured to the Slide Rack by two screws — see Figure 4a. Remove these screws and
save them for reattaching the unit.
4. Gently lift the Slide Rack to remove it from the T/Mon.

6
Mountingthe Slide Rack - Optional
The Slide Rack is light and can easily be mounted to the equipment rack by one person. The rack ears
specified with your order (either 19” or 23”) are already attached to the Slide Rack. (If the incorrect ears
have been attached to the Slide Rack, look for the extra ears included with your shipment.) To mount
the Slide Rack to the equipment rack, follow these steps:
1. Supporting the Slide Rack with one hand, align the mounting holes in the rack ears with the rack rails.
2. Secure both brackets with the rack screws provided in the hardware bag.

Secure T/Mon to Slide Rack
Rack Mounting
If you did not order the Slide Rack, your T/Mon is equipped with rack ears that can be positioned for
either 5” projection or flush mounting in either 23” or 19” racks. To mount the T/Mon directly to the
equipment rack, follow these steps:
1. Determine which mounting configuration is required. The T/Mon is supplied with the brackets in the
19” flush and 5" projection positions.
2. If a different configuration is required, remove the 8-32 screws, re-orient the brackets and re-install
the screws.
3. Place the T/Mon in the rack and align the mounting holes in the brackets with the holes in the rack
rails. Secure each bracket with two 12-24 screws (provided in hardware bag).

8
Power Connection: -48VDC4.2
The T/Mon is powered by two screw terminal barrier plug power connectors.
Screw terminal barrier plugs
To connect the T/Mon to a power supply, follow these steps:
1. Always use safe power practices when making power connections. Be sure to remove fuses from
the fuse distribution panel, as well as the back of the T/Mon, before making your power connections.
2. Use the grounding lug to connect the unit to earth ground. The grounding lug is next to the symbol .
Insert the eyelet of the earth ground cable between the two bolts on the grounding lug (Ground cable
not included).
3. Insert a battery ground into the power connector plug's right terminal and tighten the screw; then
insert a batteryline to the plug's left terminal and tighten its screw.
4. Insert a fuse into the fuse distribution panel and measure voltage. The voltmeter should read between
–40 and –70VDC.
5. The power plug can be inserted into the power connector only one way to ensure the correct polarity.
Note that the negative voltage terminal is on the left and the GND terminal is on the right.
6. Insert fuse into the Power Afuse slot. The power LED should be lit green. If the LED is red, the power
connection is reversed.
7. Repeat steps 1 -6 for Power B connector.
Power Connection: 110VAC4.3
These instructions apply only to T/Mon models with 110VAC power connection.
110VAC version of the T/Mon
1. Insert the power cord into the power inlet on the back of
the T/Mon.
2. Connect the plug end to a 110VAC outlet.
3. Turn on the power switch on the back of the T/Mon to
start the system.
