AVTECH Room Alert 4ER Monitor (RA4E-ES1-RAS) - Manual (Page 6)

AVTECH Software Inc.
Introduction Room Alert 4E
Give the IT staff and management “peace of mind” by keeping them fully informed of critical
temperature changes regardless of where they are, the time of day or day of the week. Temperature
extremes place an enormous stress on computer hardware and are normally caused by failure of the main
air conditioning system or a loss of power. Extremes for even a short time can create major challenges for
the IT staff and their budget.
Room Alert 4E provides dynamic, real-time temperature monitoring of the computer room, data center or
other facilities. Some customers use Room Alert 4E to monitor hospital lab refrigerators, incubators, or
coolers. Restaurants use it to monitor their coolers, dining room and lounge areas. We even have people
who use Room Alert 4E to monitor their personal wine cellars, remote cabins in New England, and water
pipes in homes during Winter months. Monitoring of digital temperatures is possible at up to three (3)
locations for each Room Alert 4E box, two (2) of these can be as far as 100 feet away from the Room
Alert 4E box. Monitoring of a switch sensor such as main / UPS power, flood / water, smoke / fire, air
flow, motion, intruder / entry, panic buttons and more is possible at one (1) location for each Room Alert
4E box and can be as far as 900 feet away from the Room Alert 4E box.
Notification to an unlimited number of individuals or groups, at unlimited temperature thresholds (too
high or too low), and by notification to each users’ device of choice when used with Device ManageR.
Notifications can be sent by email to computers, mobile phones, pagers, PDAs, web pages and more.
AVTECH’s Device ManageR software will enhance Room Alert 4E’s capabilities by allowing logging
of sensor data over the short or long term for tracking or identification of critical times of the day where
environment conditions may change to consistently cause problems. Device ManageR can also graph
sensor data for immediate analysis. Sensor data can be exported in Excel format by clicking a single button.
Charts, graphs and reports can be prepared in other applications for presentation to management or periodic
review by staff. This can be useful for justification of new air conditioning equipment, modifying the data
center layout or justifying changes like the location of primary servers or the data center.
