Avtech Digital Active Power and Temperature Sensors provide real-time power and temperature monitoring. The monitoring device can be strapped to an electrical power cord and if the devices draws more than 100W, the Active Power Sensor will detect this and show the current power status as ‘Active’. The sensor monitors temperature values from minus 40 to 85degC with an accuracy of +/- 2degC.

Typical Applications
The use of Digital Active Power and Temperature Sensors means than you can monitor power without disruption or damage to the power cord itself. Applications include:
- Computers and file servers
- IT hardware including wireless hubs, firewalls and network switches
- Telecoms and phone system equipment
- HVAC and cooling solutions including portable air conditioners, fridges and freezers
Placing the sensor on the power cord means that it is also in a prime position to monitor the output temperature from an exhaust fan if fitted. A rising temperature here can indicate increasing load or a potential failure from a heat related problem.
The sensor provides active power and temperature readings every two seconds and supplies power and temperature data in real-time to a Room Alert environment monitor for data logging, alarming and automatic corrective actions. The sensor uses a standard RJ11 connector.
