Environment Sensors

For complete energy management of an instrumented data center with the use of the eco PDU and eco Sensors software, you should install 4 sensors for each of the racks in your data center in order to generate a complete energy-efficient data chart. Higher sensor installation density is helpful to generate more accurate data. 8/16-port models have 4 sensor ports. Higher sensor installation density is helpful to generate more accurate data.
