Legrand PDU User Guide 41
DX2 Sensor Packages
You can cascade up to 12 DX2 sensor packages.
When cascading DX2, remember that the Legrand PDU only supports a maximum of 32 sensors and/or
actuators.
If there are more than 32 sensors and/or actuators connected, every sensor and/or actuator after the 32nd
one is NOT managed by the Legrand PDU.
Tip: To manage the last several sensors/actuators after 32nd function, you can release some "managed"
sensors or actuators, and then manually bring the last several sensors/actuators into management. See
Peripherals
(on page 130).

Connect DX2 to the Legrand PDU:
1. Connect a standard network patch cable (CAT5e or higher) to either RJ-45 port on a DX2 sensor
package.
2. If you want to cascade DX2 packages, get an additional standard network patch cable (CAT5e or higher)
and then:
a. Plug one end of the cable into the remaining RJ-45 port on the prior DX2 package.
b. Plug the other end into either RJ-45 port on an additional DX2 package.
Repeat the same steps to cascade more DX2 packages.
Exception: You CANNOT cascade DX2-DH2C2 packages. A Legrand PDU supports only one
DX2-DH2C2.
3. Connect the first DX2 sensor package to the Legrand PDU by plugging its cable's connector into the
RJ-45 SENSOR port of the Legrand PDU.
