Black Box EME168A Environmental Monitor
Overview
The Black Box EME168A is a compact environmental monitoring unit designed to safeguard critical IT infrastructure. It provides real-time data on ambient conditions within server racks, network closets, and other sensitive environments. By alerting you to deviations from optimal operating parameters, the EME168A helps prevent equipment failure due to overheating, excessive humidity, or unauthorized access. Its black, unobtrusive design allows it to blend into most IT deployments.
Compatibility
This unit is designed to integrate with the Black Box Alertwerks environmental monitoring system. It is compatible with Alertwerks hubs and sensors, allowing for expansion of your environmental monitoring capabilities. Specific compatibility extends to Alertwerks hubs that support sensor input for temperature, humidity, and door contact monitoring.
Installation Notes
Installation involves connecting the EME168A to a compatible Alertwerks hub using the provided cabling. The unit requires a clear line of sight or proximity to the monitored environmental factors. Ensure the device is positioned to accurately reflect the conditions within the target rack or enclosure. Power is supplied via the connected hub.
