OVERVIEW The Packet Power Environmental Monitor provides an easy to‐implement wireless environmental monitoring solution. Each monitor will accommodate six to twelve external temperature or dry contact inputs and also may have humidity or differential pressure sensing (see model references in the chart below). ENVIRONMENTAL MONITOR V3 MODELS Model Max.
DEVICE INSTALLATION Depending on the model of environmental monitor, you will have either six or 12 available probe ports for temperature probes or dry contact sensors (probes are universal). It is suggested that you label probes to assist in identification of the placement if probes are not provided pre‐labelled. Probes supplied in kits will be pre‐labelled.

POWER SUPPLIES: The six channel models requires a 5VDC source which can be provided from the universal power supply containing plug types for most regions which is included with the device. A 5 VDC Power over Ethernet (PoE) source can also be used. The 12 channel battery models require 2 x AA batteries which will provide a greater than two year battery life under typical applications. This model can also be supplied with 5 VDC directly from an AC source.
The E312 module includes another mounting bracket (shown below) that can be fastened with tie wraps, adhesive tabs or screws. Use the same precautions when mounting this device. E312 Mounting Bracket NODE SPACING AND RELAY FUNCTION: The monitoring nodes must be within 10 to 30 meters (30‐100 feet) of another monitoring node or the Gateway device. The signal will be relayed through adjacent nodes to form the best possible radio path.
Always mount monitors at the highest point that allows an unobstructed path to another monitoring node or Gateway. TEMPERATURE PROBES TEMPERATURE PROBES: Each monitor can accommodate up to six or twelve external temperature probes. Temperature probes consist of a small epoxy‐coated thermistor at the end of a light gauge wire. Each probe wire has a plug in connector that can be inserted into any of the probe receptacles.
Temperature Probe AVAILABLE PROBE LENGTHS: Probes are available in 1 to 4 meter lengths. If a longer probe lead length is required extension cables can be added to the probe to accommodate the required length.
DETERMING PROBE LENGTH: The chart below (PROBE LENGTH CONFIGURATION CHART) lists the cable lengths required for a typical 42‐48 RU rack. Lengths are listed by placement locations (i.e. top 1/3, middle 1/3 or bottom third sections of the rack). Probes can be purchased individually or as kit sets for monitoring one to six racks per monitor. The highlighted numbers in each section denote the probe lengths included with the probe kits. Probe kits provide the six probes needed for monitoring one to six cabinets.
Probes included in the kit. TEMPERATURE PROBE KITS Temperature probes kits are preconfigured to provide the specific probe lengths required for monitoring one to six racks with between one and six probes per rack. Probes are labelled to indicate their length and location. Consult the diagrams below for your specific cabinet.

DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE SENSING DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE MONITOR: Monitors equipped with the differential sensing option can sense change in air pressure between two areas. To monitor differential pressure the two sensing tubes need to be placed in areas with different pressures such is an opposites sides of a baffle, raised floor or server rack. MONITORING AIR FLOW: By placing one tube in direct path of the flow (i.e.
DRY CONTACT SENSING Both the E306 and E312 monitors can be used to sense the status of dry contact circuits (i.e. open or closed status) using any of the temperature probe ports. Consult with Packet Power on how to configure your devices for dry contact closure. Consult Packet Power when using the device for dry contacts.
open or closed conditions when using dry contacts in place of temperature probes. Consult Packet Power when using the device for dry contacts. NETWORK / GATEWAY INTERFACE GATEWAY VERSIONS: Depending on the Gateway version selected, the output will be either [SNMP or Modbus TCP/IP] for export to a third party application or direct output to the EMX portal (Packet Power’s monitoring application). Consult with Packet Power if you require a Gateway to communicate on a different protocol.
EMX Portal version: The EMX Energy manager is a plug and play monitoring solution that is the easiest way to view, log and manage data from all Packet Power monitoring devices. The system offers easy access to energy analysis, real‐time data and historical reports; user defined alerts via email or SMS and detailed, easily customized reports. Refer to the EMX brochure for a product overview. ‐ http://www.packetpower.com/Portals/23344/docs/em3.
