EMP DESCRIPTION AND FEATURES
The optional Environmental Monitoring Probe (EMP) enables you to collect temperature
and humidity readings in the rack environment and monitor the environmental data remotely.
You can also collect and retrieve the status of two contact devices (user-provided).
The EMP device is delivered with a screw and screw anchor, velcro fasteners, tie wraps,
and a connection cable. You can install the device anywhere on the rack.
The EMP has the following features:
• Thehot-swapfeaturesimpliesinstallationbyenablingyoutoinstalltheprobesafely
without turning off the IPC3000 power or the loads that are connected to it.
• The EMP monitors temperature and humidity information to help you protect critical
equipment:
- The EMP measures temperatures from 0°C to 70°C with an accuracy of ±2°C.
- The EMP measures relative humidity from 10% to 90% with an accuracy of ±5%.
• The EMP can be located some distance away from the IPC3000 with a CAT5 network
cable up to 20 m (65.6 ft) long.
• The EMP monitors the status of the two user-provided contact devices.

Manual. View it online at:
CONNECT AN EXTERNAL CONTACT DEVICE TO THE EMP :
To connect an external device to the EMP:
1. Connect the external contact closure inputs to the terminal block on the EMP (see the
tableandthegurebelow):
- External contact device 1. Connect the return and signal input wires from
device 1 to screw terminals 1 and 2.
- External contact device 2. Connect the return and signal input wires from
device 2 to screw terminals 3 and 4.
2. Tighten the corresponding tightening screws on top of the EMP to secure the wires.
NOTE: External contact devices can be normally open (NO) or normally closed (NC).
