Environment Sensors

Environment Sensors

All Data Center Environment Sensors

SmartSensors™ are deployed as plug-and-play options for PX intelligent rack PDUs, SRC smart rack controllers, PX inline meters, PXTS rack transfer switches, and BCM branch circuit monitors.

Sensors are grouped into five main categories: environmental monitoring sensors, water detection sensors, physical access & security sensors, specialized sensors, and sensor hubs & accessories. Environment data can be instantly sent to a DCIM software or managed via a simple web-based interface. Data collected allows a data center or facility manager to see real-time environment data, alerts, and related events to report trends over time.

Raritan environment sensors enable data center managers to:

  • Ensure uptime by monitoring racks for potential hot spots.
  • Save on cooling by confidently raising data center temperatures.
  • Maintain cabinet security with contact closure sensors.
  • Improve data center availability by receiving environment alerts.
  • Make strategic decisions on cooling design and containment.
  • Set thresholds and alerts to monitor onsite or remote facilities.

► Security Sensors

Proximity/Motion and Tamper SmartSensor

(DX2-PIR) 1 x infrared motion detector + 1 x occupancy (proximity) sensor + 1 x tamper detector. Detects motion around a cabinet or specific location.

Vibration Sensor

(DX-VBR) Single vibration sensor detects shock and vibrations over a range of frequencies. Also supports one Contact Closure sensor with DIP switch configurable polarity (normally open/normally closed).

Contact Closure SmartSensor

(DX2-CC2) 1 x contact closure sensor. Detects the open-and-closed status of a pair of isolated contacts, such as a relay or switch.


Dry Contact SmartSensor

(DX2-D2) 1 x active dry contact. It’s an actuator that detects and controls a signal to/from connected third-party dry contacts.

Powered Dry Contact SmartSensor

(DX2-PD2) 2 x active dry contacts with switchable 12V output. It’s an actuator that detects and controls a signal to/from connected third-party dry contacts.

Dry Contact/Contact Closure SmartSensor

(DX2-D2C6) 2 x dry contact + 6 x contact closure + 1 x magnetic contact. It’s an actuator that detects and controls a signal to/from connected third-party dry contacts and contact closures and can change their electrical signal into an action.


Powered Dry Contact/Contact Closure SmartSensor

(DX2-PD2C5) 2 x powered dry contact with switchable 12V output + 5 x contact closure sensors. It’s an actuator that detects and controls a signal to/from connected third-party dry contacts and contact closures and can change their electrical signal into an action.
