Powerware environmental monitoring probe, Features, Snapshot

The Powerware Environmental Monitoring Probe
(EMP) enables you to remotely monitor environ-
mental conditions as easily as you monitor power
conditions. Using a standard Web browser, you
can view the ambient temperature and humidity
of the remote environment, as well as the status
of two additional contact devices, such as a
smoke detector or open-door sensor.
Compatible with any Powerware UPS
The EMP can be used with any Powerware unin-
terruptible power supply (UPS) equipped with any
Powerware ConnectUPS Web/SNMP card (the
device that connects the UPS to an Ethernet net-
work or the Internet).
Simple, in-service installation
The EMP is connected to a communication port on
the ConnectUPS card using standard CAT5 cable -
and can be located up to 20m (65.6 feet) away.
Broad monitoring range
The EMP can monitor and measure temperatures
between 0º and 80ºC, relative humidity between
10 and 90 percent, and contact state for two
additional devices that are plugged into the EMP.
User-configurable alarm thresholds
An easy-to-use screen lets you define acceptable
ranges for temperature and humidity, and normal
contact closure status - and action to take during
alarm conditions.
Real-time display of environmental conditions
Simply point your Web browser to the IP address
of the ConnectUPS card for a display of current
status. You can access this information from a PC,
Internet-ready wireless device, or SNMP manage-
ment software.
Automated notification of out-of-range conditions
When acceptable temperature or humidity limits
are exceeded or contact status changes, the EMP
automatically logs the event and notifies key per-
sonnel by email, PCS digital phone, or pager.
Automated, remote shutdown
Working with Powerware NetWatch software, the
EMP can direct orderly shutdown of equipment
when alarm conditions persist for a specified
period, from 1 to 600 seconds.
The Powerware EMP adds an extra layer of pro-
tection by monitoring remote environmental con-
ditions, notifying appropriate personnel of prob-
lem conditions, and initiating action to shut down
systems if necessary to protect them from harm.
