Evironmental Monitoring

ZonePod can accommodate an extensive range of sensor options to fulfil a whole host of monitoring requirements. Apart from setting high and low alarm thresholds for the temperature and humidity sensors no additional configuration is required.

The sensors are supplied with an interface cable of 0.2m or 5m and additional extender cable lengths are also available.

Typical Applications

Temperature monitoring in computer rooms to provide early warning of air conditioning failure.
Smoke monitoring in all kinds of environments where 24-hour notification is required.
Leak detection in retail outlets, restaurants etc where an overnight leak could have a catastrophic effect.
Power monitoring where standby power is available but knowledge is required regarding when power failures occur, and duration of outages.
Humidity monitoring where condensation can seriously affect the operation of electronic equipment.
