Vertiv SPS-4 Sensor Port Splitter

Overview

The Vertiv SPS-4 is a passive splitter designed to expand the connectivity of Geist environmental monitoring systems. It addresses the need to connect multiple sensors to a single port on a compatible monitoring device, such as a Geist Watchdog environmental monitor. This splitter is crucial for deployments where sensor density is high, but available ports on the monitoring unit are limited. The SPS-4 replaces the older SP-5 model, offering a straightforward solution for scaling sensor networks without requiring additional monitoring hardware. It's ideal for data centers, telecommunication facilities, and other critical infrastructure environments where granular environmental data is necessary.

Compatibility

This splitter is specifically designed to work with Geist environmental monitoring products that utilize an RJ12 sensor port. It allows a single RJ12 input port on a Geist monitoring unit to support up to four individual sensors. Ensure your Geist monitoring device has available RJ12 ports and supports the type and number of sensors you intend to connect. The SPS-4 is intended for use with Geist sensors that are compatible with the specific monitoring unit's firmware and environmental data acquisition capabilities.

Installation Notes

Installation is plug-and-play. Connect the single RJ12 input cable from the Geist monitoring unit to the input port on the SPS-4. Then, connect up to four individual Geist sensors to the four RJ12 output ports on the splitter. No external power is required for the SPS-4 itself, as it is a passive device. Ensure all connections are secure to maintain signal integrity and prevent environmental contaminants from entering the ports.
