APC by Schneider Electric NBES0312 Concise Descriptor

Overview

The APC by Schneider Electric NBES0312 is a 62-inch door switch sensor designed to integrate with NetBotz environmental monitoring appliances. It provides critical status information by detecting when a third-party rack door is opened or closed. This allows for immediate alerts and logging of access events, crucial for security and compliance in data centers, server rooms, and network closets. The NBES0312 model specifically addresses the need to monitor racks not manufactured by APC by Schneider Electric.

Compatibility

This sensor is compatible with APC NetBotz appliances that support external dry contact sensors. It is designed for use with third-party racks, meaning it is not limited to APC-branded enclosures. Specific NetBotz models that accept dry contact inputs, such as the NetBotz Room Monitor 250 (NBRK0250) or NetBotz Rack Monitor 120 (NBRK0120), can utilize this sensor for door status monitoring.

Installation Notes

The NBES0312 requires a compatible NetBotz appliance with available dry contact input ports. Installation involves physically mounting the magnetic sensor components to the rack door and frame, ensuring proper alignment for reliable detection. The 62-inch cable length provides flexibility for mounting on various rack sizes. Wiring connects directly to the NetBotz appliance's sensor input terminals. No external power source is required for the sensor itself, as it draws minimal power from the NetBotz appliance.
