Introduction and summary
Thank you for your decision to buy a KENTIX monitoring solution based on the KENTIX MultiSensor
technology.
Features
The Kentix MultiSensor-LAN is an All-in-One system unit with many integrated sensors.
The MultiSensor-LAN can be a stand-alone device or operated in conjunction with a Kentix AlarmManager.
By the use with an AlarmManager provides you a more extensive functionality.
The MultiSensor-LAN is installed in server room or rack. It controls and forwards all alarm and fault
messages to the responsible persons.
The configuration is done with the integrated web server, comfortable with a web browser.
For the connection and installation of the devices you can choose from two options:
•Plug and Play installation with plug technology - without wiring and jamming. Voltage supply by
„Power over Ethernet“ (PoE).
•Fixed installation with conventional installation cables.
Applications
•Industry and Trade
•Banks
•Authorities and hospitals
•Telecommunications
•Law firms and medical practices
•Energy and water utility
Safety note
The installation of the MultiSensors must be run by an competent person.
In a power failure, the settings are not lost. Energized relays drop out and go back when the power returns in
the unswitched output state.
To bridge longer downtime, use a suitable UPS system.
Installation
To ensure the security and integrity of the operator, and the correct operation of the KENTIX MultiSensor-
LAN, the execution of the installation only has to be done by an expert. There must also the relevant
requirements are met.
Environment
The installation must be such that the KENTIX MultiSensor-LAN and all associated cables are not affected
by, environmental conditions: dust, humidity, excessive heat, direct sunlight, heat sources, devices
that build strong electromagnetic fields, liquids or corrosive chemicals.
See the technical data sheet for more technical data and environment conditions.
Protection
During the installation of the alarm manager, certain degrees of protection must be guaranteed. Observe the
relevant regulations for installation in certain environments such as industrial or residential and commercial
buildings.

MultiSensor-LAN
In contrast to the MultiSensor-RF with Funk interface can the MultiSensor-LAN also use in stand alone
operation without an AlarmManager. For configuration in stand alone operation a web server is integrated,
which allows you to configure the device via LAN and a web browser.
Over the SNMP interface, an integration in network management systems is possible.
Connection via PC:!Connect the LAN jack from the MultiSensor-LAN over a LAN cable with your network
! ! ! and your PC. Pay attention that you have to use a Cross-Over network cable, by a
! ! ! direct connection. Set the IP address of your PC to for example „192.168.100.123“.
Default settings
Voltage supply:!! PoE (Power over Ethernet). The change to external power supply is possible.
Default IP-address: !192.168.100.223 (older software versions 192.168.100.222)
Subnet mask:! ! 255.255.255.0
Gateway:! ! 0.0.0.0
User:! ! ! admin
Password:! ! password
Change voltage supply from PoE to external
By default, the MultiSensor-LAN is set to the power supply over PoE (power over ethernet).
So, you can operate the device without another power supply direct by an PoE capable switch.The market
standard PoE injectors can also be used for power supply.
To operate MultiSensor-LAN over an external power supply, you have to change a jumper (Jumper JP1) on
the platine. Pay attention to the picture below, for switching the jumper.
Changing power supply:
PoE: Jumper to 1 + 2 (POE)
External: Jumper to 2 + 3 (EXT)
IMPORTANT!
Do not change the jumper while the device
is under tension. Disconnect the device
always from network and power supply.
RESET to default settings:
Briefly press the button on the bottom side
with a flat, non-conducting object made of
plastic.
Restart after 30 seconds the device and
use the default settings for IP address and
user login.
Important! Reset the IP address
If you have forgotten the login informations of the MultiSensor-LAN, activate the RESET button at the device inside.
The device will reset the login information to the default settings. The RESET button is on the bottom side, after you
have remove the device-lid (see picture below).

If you need the MAC address of the MultiSensor for your router or firewall settings, you will find it on the
network jack when opening the device.
DNS1/2 (Domain Name Server Addresses)
Enter the name server address. Depending on network configuration e.g. on use of an ADSL router it can be
the gateway address.
Public DNS servers: 192.25.2.129 or 194.25.2.130
NTP1/2
Configuration of the time server (network time protocol). The NTP configuration is needed if you use the
time-controlled arming and disarming. The time is displayed as UTC time on the homepage.
Public NTP servers: 129.69.1.153 or 130.149.17.21
IP-address and activation of AlarmManager communication
Activate the communication with the Kentix AlarmManager here.
Enter the IP-address of the AlarmManager and set the hook.
FTP server activation
The integrated FTP server can be activated or deactivated. The FTP access will be needed for a software
update of the device. Look up in the chapter „software update“ for it.
E-Mail
If the MultiSensor should be able to send e-mails in the case of alarm to a configured user, it is necessarry to
set an e-mail server (SMTP or ESMTP). When you have set a DNS server, which is configured in the DNS
settings, you can use the DNS name of the e-mail server here. With using ESMTP you can here enter the e-
mail access data, which you can obtain from your e-mail provider. Pay attention that many mail servers need
an existing sender address to send an e-mail correctly.
In the subject of the e-mail the corresponding alarm text can be found and in the mail text all measurements
from the MultiSensor are included.
SNMP settings
Configuration of the Simple Network Management Protocols. The MultiSensor-LAN is able to send alarm
messages as SNMP-Traps. Enter both SNMP host addresses for this. Further the sensor can be prompted
or partially configured via SNMP. The functions which are available for the SNMP communication are
specified in the supplied MIB (Management Information Base). It is available on the integrated FTP server or
as download from the Kentix website.

Configuration - Sensors and Alarm
In the following settings you can set the limit and action values for the alerting.
When an alarm is triggered, an e-mail will be sent to the configured persons and the internal buzzer is
activated.
Device name
Configuration of the device name, this name can be chosen freely.
Sensor-Temperature, Humidity, Dew-point
Set the alarm limit values. Alarm will be triggered when the measurements undershot or exceeded the limits.
The temperature hysteresis is set to 1°C or 1%.
The dew-point will be calculated with the current temperature and the relative humidity from the sensor.
If the room temperature approximates to the difference of the set dew-point hysteresis (2°C default) an alarm
will be triggered. Systems and devices can lead to condensation, when the dewpoint temperature
approximates the room temperature. The humidity has reached its saturation.
Sensor-Carbon Monoxide
Alarm settings for the Carbon Monoxide. The sensitivity can be set from 0% to 100% and will be triggered by
exceeding. CO is measured from about 10ppm. There is no exact measurement of the CO content. The
measurement is construed to the highest sensitivity and can be changed slightly in the adjustment.
Carbon Monoxide concentrations like they emerge in fires are detected even at 100% setting.
10%: Minimal concentration of around 10-50ppm lead to an alarm trigger.
100%: Concentrations of 200-400ppm lead to an alarm trigger.
Sensor-Motion
Limit value for the integrated PIR (passive infra-rot) motion detection. It is triggered when exceeded. Objects
which have a temperature difference of about 4°C to the environment temperature and which are bigger than
250x400mm will be detected. For a safe detection of persons, the value should be in the range of 30-50%.
The detection range is about 100°.
Arm-Disarm time
Switching time for the time-controlled arming and disarming from the integrated motion detection.
To use it, a time server (NTP) must be set in the network settings. Pay attention, that the internal time base is
UTC.
Ext. alarm input 1/2
The MultiSensor has two configureable alarm inputs. At this alarm inputs external signaling devices can be
plugged (e.g leakage sensors, door contacts or malfunction messages from external devices). The trigger is
set by a potential free contact (opener). The trigger logic can be set to HI or LOW.
Page 7 !(09-2012, subject to change)!www.kentix.de
Ext. alarm output
Label for the switching output (output 2). With this output external devices or signals can be switched. It is
controlled via SNMP. Pay attention to the electrical connection conditions in the manuals.
Alarm buzzer time
Time in seconds how long the internal buzzer will sound after an alarm.
Alarm relay time
Time in seconds, how long the open collector output is set when an alarm is triggered. You can trigger with
this output e.g. relays. Pay attention to the electrical connection conditions in the manuals.
Re-arming time
Set the time, when the sensor motion detection has to rearm, after a motion alarm is triggered.
The red alarm LED will be turned off after that time.
Alarm repeat
Set the time, when a triggered alarm shall be triggered.
The alarm will be sent to the entered e-mail-addresses until all values are in normal range again.
A value of 0 sets the alarm repeating to inactive.
User accounts
You can set up to 5 user accounts with individual passwords. The passwords also allow access to the FTP
server. For the e-mail alerting, enter the addresses of the recipients.
User accounts and notification
User accounts
You can set up o 5 user accounts with individual passwords. The passwords allows also to access to the

1. Check that the integrated FTP server is activated. If this is not the case, you can activate the FTP server
in „Configuration“ on the web interface.
2. Extract the corresponding update file (ZIP file) in an extra folder on your PC. The file is named
„image.bin“ and must not be renamed.
3. Connect with a FTP client (e.g. Filezilla etc.) to the MultiSensor-LAN. For access use your standard
access data (default: admin/password).
4. Download the file „config.ini“ to backup your configuration.
5. Transfer the file „image.bin“ to the root directory of the MultiSensor-LAN.
6. After around 4-5 minutes the MultiSensor-LAN will restart automatically. The update file will be deleted
from the filesystem of the MultiSensor. IMPORTANT! During the update procedure the power supply
must not break.
7. Now the MultiSensor is accessible and you can see the software version under „System“ after access.
8. Connect again by using the FTP client and upload your configuration back to the MultiSensor.
Open the Web-Interface and make a restart under „System“ to load your configuration.
Copy or save Configuration of MultiSensor-LAN
1. Check that the integrated FTP server is activated. If this is not the case, you can activate the FTP server
in „Configuration“ on the web interface.
2. Connect with a FTP client (e.g. Filezilla etc.) to the MultiSensor-LAN. For access use your standard
access data (default: admin/password).
3. Download the „config.ini“ file for backup on your PC and close the FTP connection.
4. To transfer the configuration to another MultiSensor, copy this file to your desired MultiSensor-LAN and
