E-5D

Medium Enterprise Environment Monitoring System

Monitor and manage server room environmental and security conditions over IP. Provides early warnings before critical events turn into disaster.

Also known as: Remote SNMP Environment Monitoring System, EMS, monitor networking closets, server room alert, IP temperature sensor, humidity sensor, computer room humidity probe.

Product Code: E-5D ( also known as ENVIROMUX-5D )
Warranty: 12 month Standard Warranty

 

The ENVIROMUX® Enterprise Environment Monitoring System (EMS) monitors critical environmental conditions, such as temperature, humidity, liquid water presence, power, intrusion, and smoke. When a sensor goes out of range of a configurable threshold, the system will notify you via email, LEDs, alarm beacon, siren, web page, network management (SNMP), voice phone calls (via Automatic Voice Dialer System), and SMS messages (via email-to-SMS or external USB modem).

 

The system includes two internal sensors: temperature and humidity. It also supports five external configurable sensors, five digital input sensors, and two output relays for control of external devices.
