AC Voltage Sensor

Comprehensive Monitoring of Server Rooms and Corporate Infrastructure with the Didactum AC Voltage Sensor

AC voltage monitoring is a central component of modern IT and corporate security. Especially in the server room, but also in other critical business areas, continuous power monitoring is essential to detect and prevent outages, voltage fluctuations, or dangerous anomalies at an early stage. The Didactum AC Voltage Sensor offers a reliable, network-based solution that can be flexibly integrated into any monitoring infrastructure.

Why is AC voltage monitoring in the server room so important?

Server rooms are the heart of digital infrastructure. This is where servers, switches, storage solutions, and air conditioning systems operate, all of which depend on a stable power supply. Even minor voltage fluctuations or power outages can lead to data loss, hardware damage, or production stoppages. With the Didactum AC Voltage Sensor, voltage and power supply are continuously monitored. In the event of deviations or failures, an immediate alert is triggered so that IT managers can react quickly.

Monitoring of critical business areas

Not only the server room, but also production facilities, telecommunications stations, energy centers, and industrial controls benefit from professional power monitoring. The Didactum AC Voltage Sensor reliably detects under- and overvoltages, power outages, and grid fluctuations. This allows disturbances in the power supply to be detected early and costly downtimes to be avoided. Especially in areas such as industrial automation, UPS systems, or building management, seamless AC voltage monitoring is indispensable. 

Installation of the Didactum AC Voltage Sensor

The installation of the Didactum AC Voltage Sensor is extremely simple and flexible. The sensor is simply plugged into a free 230V socket and connected with the supplied sensor cable to a free sensor port of the Didactum monitoring system. If desired, the sensor cable can be extended up to 100 meters, allowing flexible placement.

Thanks to plug & play and auto-sensing, the sensor is automatically recognized by the monitoring system. Individual thresholds, notifications, and alarms can be configured via the user-friendly web interface. Alerts are triggered by email, SMS, SNMP trap, or by automatically switching relays, depending on the settings.

Important Note:

To reliably report a power outage, the monitored socket must not be UPS-protected. However, the monitoring system itself should be connected to a UPS so that notifications can still be sent in the event of an alarm.

Application examples for the Didactum AC Voltage Sensor

The possible uses of the Didactum AC Voltage Sensor are extremely diverse: 

• Power monitoring in the server room: Continuous monitoring of the power supply to server racks, switches, and cooling systems. In the event of a voltage drop or failure, an immediate alert is triggered to prevent data loss and hardware damage.
• Data center: Monitoring the supply voltage of all critical systems to ensure operational safety and prevent outages.
• Telecommunications stations: Ensuring a constant power supply at base stations to prevent network outages due to power problems.
• Industrial power systems: Monitoring the voltage in automation systems to ensure smooth operation of machines and controls.
• UPS systems: Integration into uninterruptible power supplies to monitor incoming voltage and prevent equipment failure due to under- or overvoltage.
• Electrical distribution panels: Monitoring the supply voltage in distribution cabinets to ensure safety and compliance with legal requirements.
• Building management: Integration into building management systems (BMS) to monitor the power supply of various systems and detect problems early.
• Production facilities: Protection of production lines and machines against voltage fluctuations to avoid production downtime.
• Critical infrastructures: Monitoring of energy centers, laboratories, or medical facilities where a stable power supply is vital.
• Alerting and automation: Automatic switching of warning lights, sirens, or relays in the event of critical measured values.
