'Out of Box' CL-Amp Solution
The 'Out of the Box' CL-Amp solution, greatly improves the drive for energy efficiency in legacy data centres, without the need for scheduled power downtime.
This new innovative 'out of the box' CL-Amp kit is a simple, easy to install, cost effective solution, specifically designed for single cabinet installations.
Ideal for legacy and retrofit data centres, the 'out of box' CL-Amp solution provides 'non-invasive', real-time current monitoring functionality to typical non-intelligent data centre power supply feeds rated up to 32A and can be used to bring monitoring functionality to non-intelligent power strips.
The 'Out of the Box' CL-Amp solution consists of:
- 2 x CL-Amp devices.
- 2 x sets of cable collars supplied to support: 8mm to 18mm diameter cables.
- 1 x PowerHawk2.
- 1 x Temperature sensor.
- 1 x spare sensor port, i.e. humidity or temperature. The additional sensor can be retrofit at any time.
- 1 x CD copy of Env-U², a client based application.
- 1 x set of 2m interconnecting patch cables from the CL-Amp to the PowerHawk2.
- 1 x Instruction manual.
Supplied, in addition to the 'non-invasive' CL-Amp monitoring technology, is both the ability to monitor environmental temperature/humidity and the PowerHawk2, a device which provides both local and remote monitoring and supports up to two CL-Amps and two analogue sensors, any combination of which can be temperature or humidity. The PowerHawk2, as an SNMP agent optimised for rack management, polls the CL-Amp and sensors at configurable intervals and captures the associated current and temperature/humidity data readings.
A simple client software application, known as Env-U², included as part of the 'out of the box' CL-Amp solution, then polls the PowerHawk², capturing the data to provide both a live and historical view of the parameters monitored, in addition to providing simple trending information and enabling the basic creation of management reports.
