I/A Series MicroNet Sensors are wall-mounted digital temperature and humidity sensors for use with I/A Series MicroNet Controllers. These sensors feature a Sensor Link (S-Link) communication protocol that provides a simple two-wire interface for power and exchange of sensor and subbase information. Available in twelve models, these I/A Series MicroNet Sensors provide integral analog to digital conversion for the elimination of electrical interference between sensor and controller. An optional wiring connection allows access to the MicroNet LONWORKS® network (LON®) via a LONWORKS network jack on the left side of each sensor. This jack allows direct connection to a PC running WorkPlace Tech Tool (WP Tech) or a third-party Network Management Tool. Each sensor also provides an S-Link jack on the right side for connecting to a PDA running Pocket I/A software. I/A Series MicroNet Sensors are suitable for direct-wall, 2 x 4 electrical boxes, 1/4 DIN electrical boxes, or surface box mounting.

MicroNet LONWORKS Network (LON) Jack
A LONWORKS Network Jack is located on the left side of each sensor model. The mating plug for this Jack is a 1.3 mm DC power plug. Figure-9 shows its location.
Note: The following applies to an MN-S3, MN-S3HT, MN-S4, MN-S4HT, MN-S4-FCS, MN- S4HT-FCS, MN-S5, or MN-S5HT sensor connected to a I/A Series MicroNet controller. In the Diagnostics Mode, the sensor times out and returns to the default screen if left idle for forty seconds. Subnet Address, Node Address, Alarms, and Errors are view only frames. Values displayed in the Temperature Offset and Relative Humidity Offset frames are adjustable. The I/A Series MicroNet MN-S3, MN-S3HT, MN-S4, MN-S4HT, MN-S4-FCS, MN-S4HT-FCS, MN-S5, or MN-S5HT Sensors provide the following types of diagnostic data.
View the Subnet Address, Node Address, Errors, and Alarms in this mode.
Access Temperature Offset frame and Relative Humidity Offset frame in this mode. Skip step 1 if you are already in the Diagnostics Mode.
Subnet Address and Node Address: Subnet Address frames and Node Address frames display subnet and node addresses of the connected I/A Series MicroNet Controller. The LCD alternates between Subnet Address frame, the numerical value of subnet address, Node Address frame, and the numerical value of node address. The values displayed reflect the subnet/node address assigned to domain table index 0.
Errors: The Error frames display a value of 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, or a combination of any of these values. The value may indicate one or more errors as described in Table 2. For example, an Error frame display value of 17 indicates two errors (1 = EEPROM write or read error and 16 = Analog output writing error) since 1 + 16 = 17. The LCD alternates between the Error frame and the numerical error value. An error screen displaying dashes (—) indicates no errors.
