Thank ou for purchasing an interSeptor sensor
Please use the following instructions to install the sensor
Sensor Installation Instructions
Temperature / Temperature & Humidity Sensors
The temperature sensor and/or temperature / humidit sensor should be connected to the
interSeptor using the supplied black cable. Once ou have located the sensor, plug one end
of the cable into the RJ45 socket of the device and the other end into one of the two “EMD”
ports on the rear panel of the interSeptor. The interSeptor will then auto-detect the presence
of the device. The high / low thresholds and the h steresis level for the sensors can be
configured via the web browser interface.
GoProbe! Sensors
The GoProbe! sensors (securit , voltage, water leak detection, dr contact, PIR, vibration and
smoke) should be attached to the interSeptor via the GoProbe! alarm sockets on the
temperature and temperature / humidit sensors. The sensor contacts should be inserted and
screwed into either the left pair (first alarm) or right pair (second alarm) of GoProbe! sockets.
Security Sensor
The relevant alarm should be configured in the browser (through the EMD-1 or EMD-2 setup
screens) to be either “Normal Close” or “Normal Open”, depending on the sensors
deplo ment.
Voltage Sensor / PIR Sensor / Vibration Sensor
The relevant alarm should be configured in the browser (through the EMD-1 or EMD-2 setup
screens) to be “Normal Close”. When power is lost, movement detected or vibration sensed
the alarm will become ‘Active’.
NOTE: The LED on the voltage detector does not indicate status and should therefore be
ignored.
Water Leak Detector
The relevant alarm should be configured in the browser (through the EMD-1 or EMD-2 setup
screens) to be “Normal Open”.
When water is detected along the sensor cable the interSeptor will be activated.
Please follow these instructions to install the leak detection s stem:
1. La out the sensor cable in its intended location, taking care to keep it free from oil
and grease and awa from metal surfaces.
2. Fix the sensor cable using the cable clips. Please take care not to damage the sensor
cable when fixing the clips. DO NOT CUT OFF ANY SURPLUS CABLE. When fixing
cable clips, wear e e protection as hardened steel nails can fracture when hit.
3. To test the s stem, drip a small quantit of water onto the sensor cable. The
interSeptor alarm will activate within 10 seconds. Allow the cable to dr completel for
the alarm to deactivate.

NOTE: The alarm will continue to alert until the cable has dried out, please ensure the cable is
wiped clean after being wet, as any liquid left to dry on to the cable could reduce the
effectiveness of the sensor.
NOTE: When laying the sensor cable please ensure that no part of the cable comes into contact
with another part of the cable, and that no part of the sensor cable comes into contact
with metal surfaces, as this may trigger the alarm.
Dry Contact Cable
The dr contact cable can be used to monitor an device with a normall open / closed
contact or high / low alarm output. Connect the dr contact cable to the relevant equipment
(fire panel, air conditioning unit etc) according to the manufacturers instructions, and
configure the correct alarm setting for a ‘normal’ state via the interSeptor browser interface.
Smoke Detector
The relevant alarm should be configured in the browser (through the EMD-1 or EMD-2 setup
screens) to be “Normal Open”. When smoke is detected an audible alarm will sound and the
interSeptor will be activated.
Please refer to the smoke detector manual for correct installation.
Airflow Detector
Airflow sensors can be used to provide earl warning of air conditioner fan failure. The sensor
must be positioned correctl and within the airflow for several minutes to give a correct signal.
The volt free circuit is Normal Open and will close when there is low or no airflow detected.
Positioning
The sensor has two glands on top of the unit, these glands both need to be facing the airflow
and the airflow needs to pass over the sensor (not be directed at the unit).
Disclaimer :
Please note that the interSeptor and its sensors are only intended for monitoring environments
and should only be used for that purpose. The interSeptor and its sensors should not be used in
safety-critical applications or relied upon as human safety devices.
