Airflow sensors

sensorProbe airflow sensor is used when a steady flow of air is necessary to dissipate heat, since systems reliability and safety could be jeopardized if the cooling airflow stops.

The airflow sensor is placed in the path of the air stream, where the user can monitor the status and the amount of the flowing air. sensorProbe displays this information using a graphical display via its Web interface.

In addition to an on/off indication, sensorProbe also graphs the analog values over a period of time. If the amount of air decreases over time it may be viewed as an early warning of trouble. This may indicate that the fan is about to fail or the air filter is clogged.

In addition to a Web interface, an SNMP interface is provided for alarm/normal status and to get the current analog value. SNMP traps sent when critical. SNMP polling via get, as well as Web browser interface are available. When an alarm condition is activated the description and location of the fault can be sent via email, page.
