Intelligent Solutions for Critical Environments TM

Because data centers are dynamic environments,

instantaneous feedback related to cooling-

or heat-related issues is critical for ensuring

operations and equipment reliability. Aurora

enables you to clearly identify and take action

on those issues in real time—making it the

ideal self-policing troubleshooting tool for data

centers of any size.

Aurora is CEG’s proprietary monitoring technology that couples a series of eight temperature sensors with an array of high intensity LEDs. This design provides the appearance of a “live” CFD by visually displaying a range of cool (blue) to hot (red) and a blend of 129 colors in between. It is extremely accurate because it measures air temperature, not surface temperature. The 3 user-selectable sensitivity settings allow you to fine tune the monitored temperature range of the full 129-color spectrum. And because temperature is monitored over the entire height of the cabinet, Aurora is perfect for aisle containment and areas susceptible to temperature stratification.

Aurora’s optional wireless communication and management interface enables the temperature readings for all eight sensors-per-strip to be captured for trending and alerting purposes. This additional functionality is invaluable when monitoring changes or validating best-practices improvements.

Features• Highly scalable and applicable for data centers

of any size – from SMB to enterprise.

• Works on virtually any cabinet 40U or higher.• Easy to deploy and relocate – up and running

in minutes.

• Allows you to easily identify the need for blanking panels, self-policing mechanism.

• Sensitivity settings enable fine-tuning of supply temperatures, thereby making the data center more efficient.

• Integrated power plug – no need for batteries.• Great tool for colocation/hosting and

SLA compliance.

• Cost-effective add-on monitoring for any CEG project.

Product Specifications• Eight sensors spaced 8” apart provide ample

coverage for traditional cabinet doors or open frame racks. Sensors start 4.5” from bottom of unit and end at 60.5”.

• Temperature sensors are thermally isolated to read air temperature, not the mounting surface or internal circuitry temperature.

• Temperature Sensor Operating Range: -40°F to 248°F; -40°C to 125°C.

• 64 color-changing LED lights represent tem-perature readings through a broad spectrum of 129 colors.

• Three user-selectable temperature sensitivity ranges allow Aurora to be used in a wide vari-ety of environments.

• Adjacent color gradients are smoothed between varying temperature sensors readings.

• Mounts to the face or door of any style cabinet 40U or higher.

• Physical Dimensions: 69.38”L x 1.75”W x 0.45”T.• Auto-Switching Power Supply for 100V-240V

operation. Select 5-15P Input cord for 100-120V operation or C14 Input cord for 200-240V operation.

• Electrical Load: Approximately 15W.• Optional wireless communications.• Power supply and installation kit included. Temperature Performance• Air temperature accuracy: +/- 1°C.• Low Temperature Sensitivity Range (50°F to

75°F; 10°C to 23.8°C) for data centers or IT spaces with low cold-aisle temperature set-points.

• Middle (default) Temperature Sensitivity Range (65°F to 90°F; 18.3°C to 32.2°C) for data centers with temperature ranges that closely match the ASHRAE range of acceptable inlet temperatures.

• High Temperature Sensitivity Range (70°F to 95°F; 21.1°C to 35°C) for energy efficient data centers that use higher inlet temperature settings.

Wireless Monitoring and Notification System• Complete configuration and customization at

a sensor, local network, or client-wide level through our unique sensor management system.

• Enterprise (local) and hosted (cloud-based) versions available.

• Notifications via SMS text and email.• Unlimited Aurora sensor data storage and

trending.

• Unlimited user accounts for system configuration, monitoring and notifications.

• Sensor heartbeats (check-ins) down to 10 minutes:

— Timed sensors (i.e. temp) can be user set to check against alert thresholds up to 256 times between heartbeats.

— Triggered sensors (i.e. motion, door/window, etc.) record data as it happens, regardless of heartbeat.

• Advanced sensor configuration options: — Automatic sensor recovery attempts. — Sensor inactivity alerts. — Sub-heartbeat assessments with alert

thresholds. — Sensor aware state reporting.

• Advanced thermographic sensor mapping tool.• Sensor grouping feature allows onscreen

sensors to easily be arranged to exactly match physical strip deployment.

• API commands for integrating into third party applications.
