All Data Center Environment Sensors
Raritan’s sensors are deployed as plug-and-play options for PX intelligent rack PDUs, EMX rack controllers, PX inline meters and branch circuit monitors eliminating the need for a separate controller. Environment data is instantly sent to a DCIM software solution. A simple web-based interface allows data center managers to see real-time environment data and 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.

Environment Sensors
Maintain Optimal Temperature
Use temperature information to optimize the cooling system and raise the ambient temperature to save energy with confidence that you won’t overheat sensitive IT equipment.
Keep Your Humidity In Check
Maintain proper humidity levels and avoid electrostatic discharge (ESD) problems when humidity is low and condensation problems when humidity is high.
Maintain Optimal Pressure
Identify air pressure differences that could lead to hot aisle/cold aisle partition leaks, and cut off unnecessary air flow to save energy.
Detect Water Leaks
Detect if there is a water leak from external sources or from pipes in a water-cooled rack. Also works with 50% glycol mixture.
Monitor and Manage Airflow
Monitor flow rates of cooling and hot air return to ensure cooling and containment systems are functioning optimally.
Secure Your Cabinets
Use a contact closure sensor to trigger an event such as taking a webcam picture when a cabinet door is opened.

DPX3-T2H2-KIT
Two single combo temperature and humidity sensors, field replaceable modules, 10ft (3m) cable,RJ-12 connector
DPX-T3H1
Three temperature sensors, middle sensor supporting humidity (four sensors total in three housings), 13ft (4m) cable from RJ-12 connector to first sensor, 3ft (1m) between first and second and second and third sensor housings.
DPX2-T3H1
Three temperature sensors, middle sensor supporting humidity (four sensors total in three housings),field replaceable sensor modules, 10ft (3m) cable from RJ-12 connector to first sensor, 3ft (1m) between first and second and second and third sensor housings (Not supported by DPX and PX models.)
DPX-AF1
Single airflow sensor with 10ft (3m) cable and RJ-12 connector. It is designed to monitor airflow such as cooling air blowing through a perforated tile.
DPX-T1DP1
Differential air pressure sensor with 10ft (3m) cable and RJ-12 connector. It is designed to monitor two air pressures such as the air pressure on either side of a thermal curtain separating a cold aisle from a hot aisle or above and below a raised floor or overhead plenum.
DPX-CC2-TR
Dual contact closure sensor for use with third-party Normally Closed (NC) or Normally Open (NO) switches such as door open or closed, door locked or unlocked, smoke present or absent, etc.
DPX-WSF-KIT
Floor water/leak sensor and a contact closure sensor for detecting water or water and glycol leaks. Reliably warns of water leaks at critical points below a raised floor.
DPX-WSC-35-KIT
11.5ft (3.5m) rope water/leak sensor and a contact closure sensor for detecting water or water and glycol leaks. Detect leaks easily anywhere along the length of this flexible cable. Wrap around a rack with in-row cooling.
DPX-WSC-70-KIT
23ft (7m) rope water/leak sensor and a contact closure sensor for detecting water or water and glycol leaks. Detect leaks easily anywhere along the length of this flexible cable. The long length allows you to encircle a data center CRAC unit.
DPX-ENVHUB2
Two-port (1x2) hub to expand RJ-12 sensor ports, comes with mounting bracket and RJ-12-to-RJ-12 cable to connect to, and receive power from, PX and EMX products.
DPX3-ENVHUB4
Four-port (1x4) hub to expand RJ-45 sensor ports, comes with mounting bracket.
DX-PD2C5
Two active dry contacts powered by 12V to support door locks. Five digital Normally Closed (NC) or Normally Open (NO) contact closures which require customer-provided NC or NO switches, e.g. door open/close, smoke present/absent, etc. Each of the five ports (channels) can be independently set to NC or NO, factory default is NC, RJ-45 connector (Not supported by DPX, PX or PX2 models).
DX-VBR
Vibration sensor which detects acceleration along three axes (x, y, z). RJ-45 connector.
DX-PIR
Digital proximity sensor which detects motion around a cabinet, RJ-45 connector (Not supported by DPX, PX or PX2 models).
