High read range

check-circle Up to 300 feet (91m)

✖️ Shorter range or line of sight

Competitively priced

check-circle Low sensor prices, high sensor density per reader

✖️ Most can’t compete on sensor price & reader scale

Single point of integration for data access

check-circle Can simultaneously integrate with multiple systems using many protocols

✖️ May require protocol selection in advance, gateway to be hardwired into shadow network

No vendor lock-in to PDU or other products

check-circle Works with your choice of PDU, BMS, DCIM vendor

✖️ Beware of the PDU based add-on controller trap!

 

Monitor and meet environmental SLAs in Colocation data centers

Data Centers are large and complex, with environmental conditions that vary not just from area to area but also from rack to rack. Environmental conditions must be monitored and controlled to ensure availability and to avoid SLA violations. Fluid leaks must be detected immediately to prevent damage to critical assets and infrastructure. Air flow and pressure must be maintained to ensure proper HVAC and CRAC performance. Temperatures must be controlled to prevent equipment from overheating, but overcooling protects equipment … at enormous energy costs that no business can afford.

RF Code's easy-to-deploy data center monitoring solution delivers the most accurate and real-time environmental data down to the row and rack level available today. Our wire-free sensors provide highly accurate temperature, humidity, air pressure, and leak detection data in real-time.

Environmental

Temperature and Humidity For monitoring temperature and humidity.  Typically used for front and back of rack temperature, but can be used for more.
Tethered Temperature Sensor For monitoring temperature.  This tag has a remote temperature sensor that can be placed closer to the temperature source.
Fluid Detection Sensor For detecting fluid leaks and providing early warning.
Door Sensor For monitoring access to a room, rack, hard drive disposal containers and more.
Dry Contact Sensor Sensor that monitors dry contact or closed-loop monitoring circuit.
Differential Air Pressure Sensor For monitoring for airflow problems that can prevent optimal data center cooling efficiency.

 

Power

Rack PDU Power Sensor Sensor for securely monitoring smart Rack PDUs without need to connect the Rack PDU to the network.
AC Voltage Sensor Sensor that detects presence of AC voltage in a power cable.

 

Asset

Active RFID Asset Tag Tracks the real time location of data center assets.  Assets can be tracked to rack, room or zone that they are located in.

 


FAQs

Yes. In fact, wireless RF sensors are the better choice for Colocation data center because they are easier to install. And because there are no wires or power cables, they are the least intrusive option for customer cages and space. RF Code wireless environmental sensors have been proven by our customers and are used in some the largest and most demanding data center environments in the United States and around the world.

Yes. The data from our environmental monitoring sensors is available in a number of convenient ways, including through the CenterScape software and/or by integration using Modbus, BACnet, SNMP traps, REST API.

Yes. They feature one-way communication, cannot control or change anything, can’t connect to network/Wi-Fi/Bluetooth, and can only be seen by secure readers. There is no cloud access, and all data is stored by you in your data center.
