Accessories
The following accessories are optional and must be purchased separately.
Environmental Monitoring Probe
The optional Environmental Monitoring Probe (EMP) provides monitoring of external temperature, humidity,
and the status of two contact devices, providing greater power management control and flexible monitoring.
The EMP has the following features:
l
Simplified installation lets you install the EMP safely without turning off power to the ePDU or to the devices
that are connected to it.
l
The EMP monitors temperature and humidity information of any environment, protecting your critical
equipment. The EMP measures temperatures between 0
°C and 80°C (32°F and 176°F) with an accuracy
of
±1°C. The EMP measures relative humidity between 10% and 90% with an accuracy of ±5%.
l
The EMP can be located away from the ePDU with a Category 5 network cable up to 20m (65.6 ft) long.
l
The EMP monitors the status of two user-supplied contact devices.
l
Temperature, humidity, and contact closure status can be displayed through a variety of interfaces.
l
User-selectable alarm thresholds let you define acceptable temperature or humidity limits.
l
You can use e-mail client software to set up e-mail notification through Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP)
when acceptable alarm limits are exceeded or contact status changes.
l
Changes in external contact status are logged in the ePDU event history log.
l
When temperature and humidity values exceed user-selectable limits, the event is logged in the ePDU event
history log.
