Adding Environmental Sensors
Enlogic Environmental Sensors allow users and administrators to monitor, report, and alarm specific conditions in and around a
PDU, Inline Meter, and server rack. Conditions such as temperature, humidity, leak, and switches are vital aspects of maintaining
an efficient-working data center atmosphere.
Enlogic PDUs and Inline Meters are designed to collect a maximum of 6 environmental sensor measurements each. For example,
the 3 Temperature & 1 Humidity sensor (model EA9105) collects 4 sensor measurements. The 1 Temperature & 1 Humidity
sensor (model EA9103) collects 2 sensor measurements. All other Enlogic sensors collect 1 sensor measurement each.
Note: The 3 Temperature & 1 Humidity sensor (model EA9105) can only be plugged directly into the Sensor 1 or Sensor 2 port on
the PDU or Inline Meter. It is not recommended to plug EA9105 directly into the Sensor Hub (model EA9106).
1. Plug the environmental sensor into the PDU through the RJ45 connection or the Sensor Input Hub.
Note: It may take between 1-3 minutes (depending on model and configuration) for PDU to recognize the sensor.
2. Log in to the Enlogic Web UI. The sensors should be identified and displayed.
3. Identify each sensor through the serial number in the External Sensors section of the Enlogic Web UI.
4. Make sure that the EN Series PDU begins to automatically manage sensors.
If the sensors are not auto managed,
refer to the Managing Environmental Sensors section of this manual.
5. Select the Setup button to configure the sensor name, description, location, and alarm setup.
Refer to the
Configuring Environmental Sensors section of this manual for more information.
Alarm Beacon Sensor Installation Instructions
EA9101
1. Attach the Alarm Beacon to the top of the rack using the attached magnet or M5 screws.
2. Connect the network cable (EW00133) to the Alarm Beacon. Thread this cable down through the rack.
3. Plug the other end of the network cable into the Sensor 1 or Sensor 2 port on the PDU/Inline Energy Meter or the
Sensor Hub (model EA9106).
