SmartSensors Features

• Enviornmental Monitoring Solution: SmartSensor technology connects directly to the existing rack power infrastructure and provides the highest metering accuracy with the most flexible options for deployment. SmartSensors make environmental monitoring simpler, while providing real actionable insights.


• Single Bus/String Technology: Offering the highest flexibility of deployment by the standard sensor cord or any Cat 5/6-type cable connection, the SmartSensor allows you to cascade up to 32 sensors through a single bus. The SmartSensor makes it easy to instrument entire rows of your data center with different types of sensors through a single control device


• High-Accuracy and Reliability Metering: All SmartSensors benefit from the latest, most high-tech metering components, with an MTBF of more than 20 years per sensor. SmartSensor delivers the highest metering accuracy at +/- 0.5°C for temperature sensors, +/-5% for relative humidity.


• RJ45 Removable Sensor Heads: Select SmartSensors feature RJ45 connectors with removablesensor heads. The removable sensor heads make it easy to deploy, connect to existing racks, and organize sensor cable dressing. The RJ45 sensor head can also be important in the unlikely case of failure, as the user can simply disconnect and reconnect the appropriate sensor without having to rewire the rack.
