Overview

The temperature sensor, with active current and voltage output, is used to measure the temperature in outdoor areas or damp/cold rooms. For this purpose, 4 selectable temperature ranges (-50°C…+50°C; 0°C…+50°C; 0°C…+100°C;0°C…+160°C) are available. The connection is made to the expansion module (Ethernet) ORDER-CODE: KIO7017 with analog inputs.

Connection example with 2 temperature sensors (KESAN1 or KESAN2) on extension module KIO7017 with power supply via PoE splitter (24VDC)

The voltage output of the PoE splitter supplies both the KIO7017 module and the two KESAN1/2 sensors with voltage. Note the performance data of the PoE splitter (min. PoE Class 3) and its general operation. We recommend to set 24VDC as output voltage at the PoE splitter if possible.
Note that this is an example of a simple connection variant and other variants are possible. Thus, power supplies, DC/DC converters, etc. can be used instead of the PoE splitter. For further details refer to the wiring options of the expansion module KIO7017.

IMPORTANT! Electrical engineering expertise is required for the connection and proper installation of the entire system!

Configuration with KentixONE

  • The device is configured via the web browser in KentixONE. The device must be accessible to the central KentixONE instance on the network side. Depending on the device type, a communication key and the IP address or DHCP name of the central
  • KentixONE instance must also be set on the device (MultiSensors, AccessManager, SmartPDU). IP cameras or IO modules, on the other hand, can be integrated directly into KentixONE.
  • All information about the software is available in the KentixONE section and the related documentation.
  • Before starting the configuration, make sure that the software on all network-compatible Kentix devices is up-to-date. The version status must match on all devices.
  • You can perform a software update for your KentixONE main instance and all connected satellites at any time via “System – Update”.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I set the temperature range using the DIP switches?

A: Refer to the printed DIP switch positions in the user manual. Set the switches accordingly based on the desired temperature range.

Q: Can I connect multiple temperature sensors to the device?

A: Yes, you can connect multiple KESAN1 or KESAN2 sensors to the device, as shown in the connection example with the extension module KIO7017.
