Racktivity announces first “full feature” DC power sensor
April 2012 by Marc Jacob
Racktivity, an innovator in next-generation energy and environment management solutions for data centers, has launched the DC2Sensor, a DC power monitoring solution designed to address the needs of telecommunication, broadband, wireless and broadcast service providers.
The DC2Sensor can be installed at the DC power distribution board or in distributed remote locations such as PoPs, base stations, and Head Ends. The unit features a DIN rail mountable design and Ethernet connectivity and supports 12 inputs for current measurements.
The unit is fully compatible with Racktivity’s Data Center Performance Manager (DCPM), the only distributed software solution to manage thousands of multi-vendor PDUs as a single environment. DC2Sensors also support the Racktivity EnergySensor range to offer a granular set of environmental monitoring including temperature, humidity and motion sensing as well as smoke detection, water leak detection under raised floors and dry contact for rack door intrusion detection.
In line with the rest of the Racktivity range of products, the new DC2Sensor has a rich set of features and can provide - through either the built-in OLED display or via the DCPM platform - monitoring of DC voltage per feed, current per input, power per port, total power, energy per port and total energy with extreme accuracy.
