ENVIROMUX-SEMS-16 (Front & Back)

Features & Applications

The Server Environment Monitoring System monitors critical environmental conditions, such as temperature, humidity, liquid presence, motion, intrusion, and vibration. When a sensor goes out of range of a configurable threshold, the system will notify you via email, LEDs, alarm beacon, web page, network management (SNMP), and SMS messages (via external GSM modem).

The system includes three internal sensors: temperature, humidity and power. It also supports 16 external configurable sensors and eight digital input sensors.
  • Monitor and manage server room environmental and security conditions over IP.
  • Create alarm signals with customized input parameters.
  • Four output relays for control of external devices.
    • Relays activate upon alarm or via the user interface.
  • Supports IP network video camera.
    • Live view of a facility from anywhere, anytime.
    • Seamlessly integrate into the ENVIROMUX.
    • Up to eight cameras can be associated with each ENVIROMUX.
    • One integrated view - see different Web cameras side-by-side with physical and environmental parameters.
  • Monitor (ping) up to 64 IP network devices.
    • Alerts are sent if devices are not responding.
  • Provides power supply for all sensors.
  • Internal battery backup.
    • Alerts are sent when there is a power outage and when power returns.
  • Available sensors include: temperature, humidity, smoke, water, glas break, motion, vibration, 4-20mA converter, voltage detector, and more.
  • Available with optional dual power for connection to two separate power sources.
  • Up to four units can be used together to increase the number of sensors connected.
    • Connect the units using CAT5 expansion cables.
    • Uses a single Web interface for all systems connected.
  • 1RU rack mount case is standard.
  • Use in data centers, co-lo sites, web hosting facilities, telecom switching sites, POP sites, server closets, or any unmanned area that needs to be monitored.
