Asentria provides flexible and expandable sensor capabilities through EventSensor™
Environmental Monitoring Modules

July 10, 2001 (Seattle, WA) - Asentria announces the release of its new EventSensor Environmental Monitoring Modules ES-1 through ES-5. The small, self-contained modules monitor physical conditions (temperature and humidity) as well as legacy equipment (serial ports and contact closures).


Enterprise networks with remote or unmanned equipment rooms risk downtime from non-networked equipment malfunction, power failure or adverse environmental conditions such as high heat or humidity. The EventSensor modules help protect critical business equipment such as servers, phone systems and data from a variety of these threats, and warn network managers before harm is done.


EventSensor modules enhance the monitoring capabilities of the Asentria SNMP-Link™ Model SL61, which monitors the EventSensor units and transmits alarm messages via modem, network, pager or E-mail to a central NMS. Customers may utilize their existing SNMP software or Asentria AlarmManager software, which is now available free to Asentria customers. The SNMP-Link may power up to 16 EventSensor modules that connect in daisy chains from specialized EventSensor ports.


You can inexpensively expand the number of contact closers sensors you can monitor, and monitor different areas of the same location simultaneously. This is done through modular units called EventSensors. EventSensors can be connected to several Asentria products and help you expand your monitoring ability.


The SL81, SL61 and Sl10 as well as the DL150 have an EventSensor port, which can attach to an EventSensor module via an RJ45 Cat5 cable. Each EventSensor also has an out ES port as well as an in. In this way you can daisy chain up to 16 EventSensors units.


Because EventSensors use a standard RJ45 cables you can use easy-to-find cabling. And because they are modular units they are also cost effective. You can expand your monitoring capabilities, as you need to without having to by redundant hardware. All this helps you save Money.


Different models of EventSensors have different built in capabilities. The ES-1 through ES-5 give you the ability to monitor up to 8 dry contact closers and well as optional built in temperature and humidity sensors. The ES-8 has 8 voltage sensors allowing you to monitor –75 to +75 VDC. The ES-9 is equipped with 8 relay outputs and the ES-10 has 8 open collector outputs. These last two allow you use the same modular design the rest of the EventSensors have to control remote equipment. And the Contact Closure Units CCU-32 and CCU-64 have 32 and 64 contact closures for when you need to monitor a large number of contact closers off one EventSensor.
