Purpose & Audience

The Opengear EMD5000 environmental monitoring device connects to console server serial ports to provide remote temperature and humidity readings. It is intended for IT staff who need browser-based visibility of rack conditions without being on site.

Bundled Capabilities

The unit includes one temperature sensor, one humidity sensor and supports one or two dry-contact inputs for devices such as smoke or water detectors. Alarms can be configured to escalate from warning to critical levels automatically.

Questions about this item

What components of the EMD5000-02 will need replacement or maintenance over time?

The EMD5000-02 has no user-replaceable parts listed in the specifications. It connects via a serial port and CAT5 cable to an Opengear console server, so only those cables or the console server itself may need attention later.

What is the first limit reached when the EMD5000-02 monitors a rack continuously?

The device tracks temperature, humidity and up to two dry-contact sensors. The first limit encountered will be the user-defined warning or critical thresholds set for temperature, humidity or the contact inputs.

How much noise, heat or power does the EMD5000-02 generate when running all day?

The EMD5000-02 draws minimal power from the console server serial port, has no fan and produces no audible noise. Its heat output is negligible in a rack environment.
