1.3.5 Environmental Monitoring
PDU with CyberPower ENVIROSENSOR can provide remote monitoring of
temperature and humidity in a server closet and/or datacenter. You can set
temperature and humidity threshold for event action warning. See Envir Tab >
Status & Envir Tab > Configuration. Note that Envir Tab only appears when an
ENVIROSENSOR is connected to the PDU.
Envir Tab > Status
Item Definition

1. Introduction
Intelligent PDU Web Interface
Item Definition
Hysteresis
The point where the environmental state changes from
abnormal to normal and users receive a clearing event
notification. The function of Hysteresis is to avoid receiving
multiple event notifications.
*For high threshold, the point is the threshold minus the
Hysteresis value; for low threshold, the point is the threshold
plus the Hysteresis value.
For example: The high threshold is 32°C, and hysteresis is 2°C.
The temperature rises to 33°C, you will get a warning. Then
it goes down to 31°C and up to 33°C repeatedly. No clearing
events and warnings will occur while the temperature readings
are within the Hysteresis. You will not get a clearing event until
it drops to 30°C.
Rate of Change
Define the abnormal change of temperature per 5 minutes.
For example: The current temperature is 23°C, and rate of
change is 10°C. If it goes up to 33°C or down to 13°C within 5
minutes, you will get a warning.
Unit Select the unit of temperature.
Humidity
High Threshold Set the highest humidity value for a high humidity warning.
Low Threshold Set the lowest humidity value for a low humidity warning.
Hysteresis Same as Hysteresis under temperature.
Rate of Change Same as Hysteresis under temperature.
Contact Enter the name of each input dry contact relay and use the
dropdown menu to define the normal status of each one.
