The Benefits of SmartSensors:

Easy deployment with scalable sensor technology
Plug-and-play connection to a Xerus enabled power management device
Ensure uptime by monitoring racks for potential hot spots
Save on cooling by confidently raising data center temperatures
Stay alerted 24/7 of service-impacting conditions
Obtain the right insight to drive strategic decisions on cooling design and containment
Scale new implementations under a single reliable technology platform
Get a clearer vision into your environment with higher accuracy sensors
Improve field response-time to alerts with status LEDs
Designed to meet the standards and needs of data centers, labs, facilities, network/compute closets, or remote locations like colocation, POP, and telecommunication sites

Highly Accurate Environment Monitoring

SmartSensors are designed with the latest, most high-tech metering components to prolong its lifespan, improve reliability, and ensure it runs efficiently.

Dual RJ45 Connectors

Dual RJ45 connectors ease the installation and servicing of sensor packages without rewiring the rack, saving on time and maintenance costs.

Easy to Deploy within Existing IT Infrastructures

SmartSensors are plug-and-play ready with a Xerus enabled power management device including Raritan intelligent Rack PDUs, Compact PDUs, Smart Rack Controllers, Inline Meters, Hybrid Rack Transfer Switches, and Branch Circuit Monitors making it incredibly easy to install and deploy without disrupting operations.

Support for Customizable Configuration with Single Bus/String Technology

Ensure comprehensive measurement and monitoring by cascading different types of SmartSensors in a single bus/string structure with Cat5/6 cables through a Xerus enabled rack power distribution management device.

TEMPERATURE The DX2-T1 can be placed at the front or rear of the rack to monitor cool air entering and/or hot air being expelled to ensure proper containment¹.	CONTACT CLOSURE The DX2-CC2 detects the open-and-close and on/off status of connected third-party door position and door lock detectors/switches.
TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY With the DX2-T3H1, string together three sensor packages to easily mount at the bottom, middle, and top of the cool air inlet side as per ASHRAE² guidelines.	AIRFLOW The DX2-AF1 monitors airflow circulation, such as under a raised floor or just above the perforated tiles.
VIBRATION The DX2-VBR detects shock and vibration over a wide range of frequencies.	PROXIMITY/MOTION The DX2-PIR detects motion around a cabinet and is often used in conjunction with a Webcam event.
DUST/PARTICLE The DX2-PS monitors indoor dust/particle density levels.	TEMPERATURE AND DIFFERENTIAL AIR PRESSURE The DX2-T1DP1 monitors differential air pressure above and below a raised floor, or between hot and cold aisles to prevent thermal leaks.
WATER LEAK The Water/Leak Floor series (DX2-WSF) detects the water's presence. The Water/Leak Rope series (DX2-WSC) also detects the presence of water and marks the specific location of a leak.	See our complete sensor offering, including environmental and security sensors. 1. Additional temperature and humidity sensor options are available. 2. ASHRAE suggests measuring the temperature entering IT equipment near the bottom, middle, and top of each IT rack and in at least one position at the back of the cabinet.
