NetBotz Rack Monitor 200 Installation and Quick Configuration Manual |
The American Power Conversion (APC®) NetBotz Rack Monitor 200 is a central hardware appliance for an APC environmental monitoring and control system. The rack-mountable Rack Monitor 200 includes six universal sensor ports for connecting temperature and humidity sensors, door switch sensors, and third-party dry contact sensors. Using other ports on the Rack Monitor 200, you can connect up to eight temperature and humidity sensors with digital display. To expand your system, you can connect up to twelve NetBotz Rack Sensor Pod 150s, which include six universal sensor ports each. The Rack Monitor 200 also includes ports that provide power to or allow control over other devices. And you can connect the Rack Monitor 200 to your building management system. Once installed, you monitor and control your system using a network or serial connection. (The Rack Monitor 200 cannot be connected to—or networked with—any other NetBotz appliances. It uses unique software that is not compatible with other NetBotz products.)
The NetBotz Rack Monitor 200 Installation and Quick Configuration Manual describes how to install the Rack Monitor 200, the provided temperature/humidity sensor, and additional options you connect to the system. After performing the configuration procedures in this manual, you can access your system through its software interface, configure the system, and monitor the environment.
