Opengear Environmental Monitoring Device - X1 Pinout Temperature…

The Environmental Monitor Device
protects critical data center assets from
heat, humidity, smoke, water leaks,
cabinet intrusion and other
environmental conditions

Provides IT and facilities managers with aroundthe-clock monitoring of environmental
conditions at the rack level
Each EMD monitors temperature, humidity, and
status of two contacts/sensors
Works with Opengear console server ensuring
out of band alert transmissions and secure access
Readily available smoke detector, vibration
sensor, water leak detector and door open/close
sensor
Maintains log records of temperature, humidity
and sensor events
Auto-sends alarms on any critical or warning
threshold and on contact closure events
Email, SMS, SNMP and Nagios alerts enable
rapid problem diagnosis and resolution
The Opengear EMD5000 environmental monitoring device
enables you to remotely monitor environmental conditions
using a standard Web browser.
You can view the ambient temperature and humidity of the
remote environment and set the EMD to automatically send
alarms progressively from warning levels to critical alerts. So
you are warned if the temperature in a remote equipment
rack begins to rise and can plan preventative action. Similarly,
a warning of rising humidity in an air-conditioned room
could be a sign of a duct leak, open door, roof leak, etc.
The EMD also monitors the status of two external dry
contacts which can be connected to a smoke detector, water
detector, vibration or open-door sensor.
The EMD connects to a serial port on any Opengear console
server with an adapter and CAT5 cable so authorized users
can securely monitor the environment at remote sites. The
console server also provides out-of-band access and out- dial
failover ensures alerts are transmitted.
Each EMD device has one temperature and one humidity
sensor and provides two general purpose status sensors in
one small module. Each console server can support multiple
EMDs providing distributed monitoring any site.
