Digital Active Power Sensor w/Temperature (3 m)

Each AVTECH Digital Active Power w/Temperature Sensor provides real-time power status of any AC powered electric device by simply strapping to any existing power cord. The power is considered 'active' when greater than approximately 100W. Accuracy is within +/- 2.5 watts. Additionally, this sensor provides real-time temperature values from -40 to 185° Fahrenheit or -40 to 85° Celsius. Accuracy is within +/- 2°C.
Before introducing the Active Power Sensor, organizations that wanted to monitor power status to electric devices usually needed to physically cut open a power cord to isolate specific conductors to measure current. This could lead to situations where power cables could be damaged if the procedure wasn't done correctly.
Since the primary push for the development of the Active Power Sensor was for the data center market, where high temperatures remain the leading cause of equipment failure, we decided to also incorporate temperature monitoring. Gradually increasing temperature readings can help alert users to potential power consumption or hardware failure issues.
The capabilities of the Active Power Sensor allow it to be used in many other scenarios as well. You can use it to monitor other IT hardware such as firewalls, switches, or phone system equipment, or monitor HVAC units, portable air conditioners, sump pumps, freezers, and more. Anything with an AC power cord can be effectively monitored.
This is a dynamic sensor that provides temperature and active power readings every two seconds and feeds data in real time back to the Room Alert monitor for data logging, alerting and automatic corrective action. This is an instant 'Plug & Play' sensor via one of the standard RJ-11 jacks on any compatible Room Alert monitor.
