Most IT equipment specifies maximum ambient inlet air temperature and humidity levels to ensure normal levels of cooling can be achieved for safe and reliable operation.
Common phrases in warranty terms include - "...This warranty does not cover: 1 failure or damage resulting from misuse (including but not limited to ...)...unsuitable physical or operating environment ".
If equipment fails the burden falls on the user to prove that such warranty conditions were complied with.
This is impossible without adequate sensing and logging in place.
By employing a wireless sensor network from Adaptive Wireless Solutions customers can ensure that their equipment is operating at all times within safe limits of temperature and humidity.
Data collected by the sensors is fed back to the OnCall data logging and analysis application which can be configured to raise alarms when limits are exceeded as well as logging the temperature and humidity data for further analysis.
Alternatively, data from the wireless system can easily be interfaced with existing infrastructure monitoring and control systems if required.
