DPX2 Sensor Packages

A DPX2 sensor cable is shipped with a DPX2 sensor package. This cable has one RJ‑12 connector and several (one to three) head connectors. You need to manually connect DPX2 sensors to the sensor cable.

For more information on DPX2, download the Environmental Sensors Guide from Raritan website's PX2 Support Files page.

DPX2 sensor cable with one RJ-12 connector and three head connectors

The following procedure illustrates a DPX2 sensor cable with three head connectors. Your sensor cable may have less head connectors.

Warning: If there are free head connectors available between a DPX2 sensor cable's RJ‑12 connector and the final DPX2 sensor attached, some or all sensors connected to the same cable do NOT work properly. Therefore, always occupy all head connectors prior to the final sensor with a DPX2 sensor.

  1. Connect a DPX2 sensor to the first head connector of the DPX2 sensor cable.

  2. Connect remaining DPX2 sensors to the second head connector, and then to the third head connector.

    Tip: If the number of sensors you are connecting is less than the number of head connectors on your sensor cable, connect them to the first one or first two head connectors to ensure that there are NO free head connectors available prior to the final DPX2 sensor attached.

  3. Plug the RJ‑12 connector of the DPX2 sensor cable into the RJ‑12 SENSOR port on the PXE.
