Raritan has five types of environmental sensor packages: DPX, DPX2,
DPX3, DX and DX2 series.
DPX series is the first generation while DX2 series is the latest
generation.
For a list of Raritan and Legrand products that support all of Raritan's
sensor packages, see
Products Supporting Raritan Sensor Packages
(on page viii).
Tip: You can also refer to your product's online help (or user guide) for
sensor support information. Online help is accessible from your PDU,
EMX or BCM application, or from Raritan's
Support page

Sensor Overview
Diverse generations of Raritan sensor packages:
A Raritan environmental sensor package may have more than one
sensor or actuator function. For details, see:

Available DX2 Sensor Packages (on page 5)

Available DX Sensor Packages (on page 20)

Available DPX3 Sensor Packages (on page 39)

Available DPX2 Sensor Packages (on page 44)

Available DPX Sensor Packages (on page 52)
Sensors versus actuators:
A sensor can detect the environmental condition, such as temperature,
humidity, and water presence. All of Raritan sensor package generations
support sensor functions.
An actuator can control a system or mechanism, such as opening and
closing a door handle. Only DX2 and DX series support actuator
functions.
Number of supported sensors/actuators per Raritan/Legrand
product:
A sensor port on a Raritan or Legrand product, such as a PDU, can
support up to 32 sensors or actuators. For information on how to count
the number of sensors/actuators, see
Supported Maximum Number of
Sensors and Actuators
(on page 77).
Supported maximum cabling length:
The maximum cabling length for DPX2, DPX3, DX or DX2 sensor
packages connected to a Raritan or Legrand product should not exceed
98 feet (30 meters).
Exception: DX2-DH2C2 Door Handle Controller (on page 6) and
DX-PD2C5 (on page 24).
For supported DPX cabling length, see Supported Maximum Sensor
Distance
(on page 74).
Suggested interval between connections (or disconnections) of
diverse sensor package connections:
For proper operation, wait for 15~30 seconds between each connection
operation or each disconnection operation of environmental sensor
packages.

* Chain position availability column indicates whether a sensor's position
in a sensor daisy chain is available or not. This information is retrievable
from the Raritan or Legrand product where the sensor is connected,
such as PX3 or Legrand PDU.
** Most DPX sensor packages do NOT support daisy chaining except the
differential air pressure sensor, DPX-T1DP1.
*** DPX2 sensors can be daisy chained via one DPX2 sensor cable, but
you cannot daisy chain multiple DPX2 sensor cables.
(1) The first generation of sensor hub DPX-ENVHUB4 is supported by
"DPX" sensor packages only.
(2) The newer sensor hub DPX3-ENVHUB4 is supported by all Raritan
sensor packages. To connect DPX and DPX2 sensor packages to this hub,
the RJ-12 (female) to RJ-45 (male) adapter cable (P/N: 254-01-0036-00)
shipped with DPX or DPX2 is required.
Sensor Support Guidelines
The Raritan and Legrand products listed in the section Products
Supporting Raritan Sensor Packages
(on page viii) support all types of
Raritan environmental sensor packages except for the following
restriction.
Only PX3, PX3TS and Legrand PDUs support
DX-PD2C5 (on page 24)
and
DX2-DH2C2 Door Handle Controller (on page 6).

4
A DX2 sensor package consists of two RJ-45 ports and sensors and/or
terminals.
Different DX2 sensor packages have a different number of sensors,
actuators and/or terminals.
Important: A DX2 contact closure sensor does NOT support any
water detection sensor, including Raritan's DPX water sensors --
DPX-WSF and DPX-WSC series.
DX2 series works with Raritan's DPX3 sensor hub 'DPX3-ENVHUB4', but
not with the DPX sensor hub 'DPX-ENVHUB4'.
With standard network patch cables, you can:
Connect a DX2 sensor to a Raritan or Legrand product with the
"RJ-45" SENSOR port, such as PX3 or Legrand PDU.
Exception: For a Raritan PDU or EMX with an "RJ-12" SENSOR port,
an RJ-12 to RJ-45 adapter cable (part number: RJ12M-RJ45M) is
needed, which you can request from Raritan.
Daisy chain DX2 sensor packages.
Warning: Do NOT use a crossover cable for connection.

DX2-CC2 Contact Closure Sensors
Raritan's contact closure sensor can detect the open-and-closed status
of connected detectors/switches.
There are two channels for connecting two discrete detectors/switches
(state: on/off).
Four termination points are available on this sensor: the two to the right
are associated with one channel, and the two to the left are associated
with the other.
Number Component Function
Two RJ-45 ports Connect a standard network patch cable
for either or both purposes below:
Connect to the SENSOR port of a
Raritan product (like a PX3 PDU) or
Legrand PDU.
Cascade DX2 sensor package(s).
See
Cascading DX2 Sensor Packages
(on page 17).
Two pairs of
termination points
Connect two discrete detectors/switches.

Chapter 2: DX2 Series
12
Number Component Function
Two LEDs Indicate two channels' status.
Supported detector/switch types:
At a minimum, a discrete detector/switch is required for DX2-CC2 to
work properly. The types of discrete detectors/switches that can be
connected to DX2-CC2 include those for:
Door open/closed detection
Door lock detection
Smoke detection
Vibration detection
When using third-party probes, you must test them with DX2-CC2 to
ensure they work properly.
Important: Integration and testing for third-party detectors/switches
is the sole responsibility of the customer. Raritan cannot assume
any liability as a result of improper termination or failure (incidental
or consequential) of third-party detectors/switches that customers
provide and install. 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.
To make DX2-CC2 work properly:
1. Connect 1 to 2 contact closure detectors/switches to DX2-CC2. See
Connecting Detectors/Switches to DX2-CC2 (on page 13).
2. Connect DX2-CC2 to a Raritan or Legrand product that supports
Raritan sensor packages, such as Raritan's PX3 or Legrand PDU.
3. Log in to the application of Raritan or Legrand product where
DX2-CC2 is being connected, and configure Normally Open or
Normally Closed for DX2-CC2.
