interSeptor Environmental Monitoring System
interSeptor is a full-featured, scaleable network environmental monitoring device designed to remotely monitor temperature, humidity and other environmental conditions in data centres, IT rooms and racks. Email and SNMP alerts are available as standard, but combined with our unique Alert Centre facility (UK), interSeptor can also provide automated telephone voice and text alerts 24/7 to give early-warning of impending computer room problems.
Designed for ‘out-of-the-box’ operation, interSeptor is supplied with a dual temperature / humidity sensor, with a second temperature/humidity sensor available also. A range of optional ‘Go-Probe’ sensors to detect security breaches, power failures, smoke and water leaks can also be quickly added to the interSeptor system to provide comprehensive monitoring of your critical environments.
Features of the interSeptor include:
- Temperature/humidity sensor and 2 x Go-Probe sensor ports as standard
- Monitoring via web browser interface and/or network management system
- User configurable high/low warning and critical temperature/humidity thresholds
- Optional Go-Probe Sensors (water, smoke, security, power) can be quickly connected
- Email/SNMP alarm notification
- Daily status reporting
- Automated Voice and SMS text alarm notification via Jacarta Alert Centre (UK Only). Free first year subscription now available with all new UK purchases of interSeptor (just £165p.a. thereafter).
- Extensive on-board logging/graphing capability
- Comprehensive browser interface
- SNMP compliant for network management system integration. MIB available
- Serial, telnet, browser configuration options
- BootP, DHCP
- Alarm scheduling facility so that alerts can be enabled/disabled as required
- 2 year warranty
interSeptor is supplied with a temperature/humidity sensor as standard with 2m interface cable. 2 x optional Go-Probe sensors can be connected to the temperature/humidity sensor and monitored via the interSeptor. interSeptor also has the capacity to monitor an additional temperature/humidity sensor. A further 2 x Go-Probe sensors can also then be connected. Our unique interSeptor design ensures cabling runs for smoke, water, security and power sensors can be minimised. Various interface cable lengths are available as required.
SENSORS
interSeptor optional sensors are available as follows:
Temperature/humidity with 2m or 18m interface cable |  |
Optional extra sensors : | 
 |
- Water Leak
- Smoke
- Security
- Power
- Universal
|
Temperature/Humidity
High and low warning and critical temperature and humidity thresholds can be configured in the interSeptor to ensure alarms are raised when room or rack conditions are abnormal. The hysteresis configuration facility ensures that alarms are not continually triggered when levels are ‘floating’ around the configured thresholds.
Water Leak
The interSeptor water leak sensor is supplied with 3m or 18m of leak detection cable. The cable can be run under air conditioning units, in ceiling voids, under raised floors, under pipes, and around room perimeters to provide a comprehensive, easy-to-install, leak detection facility.
Smoke
The unique sensor connectivity design of the interSeptor facilitates installation and monitoring of the smoke detector, especially on ceilings. The cable connection need only be run from the temperature/humidity sensor which will typically already be installed at an elevated level.
Security
The security sensor option is a magnetic reed contact sensor, ideal for monitoring rack or room door access.
Power
The power sensor will detect the presence or otherwise of utility power.
Universal
The Universal sensor is an interface cable that can be connected to any device offering an open or closed or high/low output. interSeptor can monitor this output for changes in state and alarm accordingly. The Universal sensor can be connected to equipment such as generators, air conditioning units, printers, UPS, security systems, fire alarm systems, etc.
SOFTWARE
Browser
interSeptor can be monitored and managed ‘out-of-the-box’ via its comprehensive browser interface.
Key features include:
- Visual ‘comprehensive’ interface for quick identification of temperature/humidity or sensor alarms
- Straightforward labelling of sensors to identify location and type of sensor
- Quick configuration of alarm thresholds, email recipients, trap receivers, system information
- Viewing of extensive event and detail files, all of which can be exported in .csv format into excel, etc.
Java
A java window can be launched via the interSeptor browser interface to display real-time meters or graphs for each sensor being monitored, as well as for historial and extended historical data recorded by the interSeptor.
Network Management
interseptor can be integrated into network management systems supporting SNMP, such as Microsoft Operations Manager (MOM), NetIQ AppManager, WhatsUp Gold, HP Openview and SystemAssure.
