Designed for remote monitoring of temperature and humidity over IP networks, it delivers real-time data and early warnings to prevent costly downtime. Imagine a medium-sized company’s server room – a failing cooling system causes a temperature rise. Without monitoring, servers can overheat, leading to data loss and expensive damage. With ENVIROMUX® Micro, you receive instant alerts via email, SMS, or SNMP, allowing immediate corrective action.

The system features an integrated temperature/humidity sensor, two RJ45 ports for external sensors, two dry contact inputs, and optional Power over Ethernet (PoE). It operates stand-alone or as a remote IP sensor for E-2D/5D/16D systems. In addition to temperature and humidity, it can monitor liquid, power, intrusion, and smoke. The intuitive web interface enables global configuration and monitoring, saving time and enhancing operational reliability.

Reliable environmental monitoring is increasingly crucial as organizations depend on IT infrastructure. The ENVIROMUX® Micro stands out for its precision: measuring temperatures from -20 to 75 °C with 0.1 °C resolution and humidity from 0 to 90 % RH with ±3 % accuracy.

Practical Example:

At a web hosting facility, high humidity due to condensation can damage hardware. The system immediately detects deviations and sends configurable alerts – for example, to an IT manager or via SNMP to your network management system. With two RJ45 ports for external sensors and two dry contact inputs, it ensures flexibility and redundancy. The PoE option simplifies installation by providing power and data through a single cable. The device can ping up to four IP devices and report failures, improving system availability and uptime – reducing downtime, increasing customer satisfaction, and saving maintenance costs.

Its value is evident in real-world use, such as a telecom switching site. The unit can be wall-mounted or DIN-rail mounted, connected to the network, and configured with temperature and humidity thresholds. If limits are exceeded (e.g., humidity above 80 % due to a leak), a “Smart Alert” triggers, combining multiple parameters to prevent false alarms. One client reported that the system detected water leakage early, saving several thousand euros. Hot-swappable sensors allow maintenance without downtime, while integration with systems such as Nagios or Zabbix is seamless. With an MTBF exceeding 500,000 hours and security features including HTTPS, TLS 1.2, and AES‑256 encryption, it protects both data and infrastructure. Ideal for data centers, co-location sites, POP sites, and server cabinets – ENVIROMUX® Micro is your proactive monitoring solution.

Additional Functions and Benefits

The ENVIROMUX® Micro monitors temperature, humidity, liquid, power, intrusion, and smoke. Deviations from configurable thresholds trigger alarms via email, web interface, SNMP, or SMS. It can function independently or as a remote sensor for E‑2D/5D/16D systems. With its integrated temperature/humidity sensor, two RJ45 ports for external sensors, and two dry contact inputs (with optional PoE), it offers exceptional versatility. Sensors are hot-swappable. The unit can ping up to four IP devices and raise alarms when devices stop responding. Up to 32 discrete alarms and one Smart Alert are configurable for precise notification management.

Supported sensors per E‑MICRO:

• 1 × integrated temperature/humidity sensor
• 2 × RJ45 ports for external sensors
• 2 × digital inputs for contact closure

Dual DC power inputs ensure redundancy. Alarms are recorded in the web message log. The system integrates with NTI IP cameras for live views and with open-source tools like Nagios. Optional management software (E‑MNG‑SH) allows monitoring of up to 3,000 units. An Android app provides mobile monitoring and alarm acknowledgment.

Security:

Features include HTTPS, TLS 1.2, AES‑256 encryption, 16‑character authentication, and customizable user privileges. Easy wall or DIN‑rail mounting options. Use it in data centers, web hosting facilities, or unattended remote sites. With a wireless router and Wi‑Fi extender, fully wireless monitoring is also possible.

Web Interface

Configuration is accessible via web browser through LAN or Internet. When used as a remote sensor for E‑2D/5D/16D systems, configuration is managed via the E‑xD interface. Compatible with browsers such as Microsoft Edge, Firefox 1.5+, Chrome, and Safari 1.3+ (Mac). Users can configure thresholds, alert methods, and data logging. Sensor values, limits, and status appear on an overview dashboard. Sensors can reset automatically once alarms clear. The event log stores 200 entries, while data logs support up to 43,000 records per sensor (downloadable as CSV). Up to 9 users can log in simultaneously with individual access privileges and schedules.

Telnet

Monitoring is possible via a text‑based Telnet menu with username/password access. Two user levels (user/administrator) and the option to disable Telnet add security.

Network Operation

The system supports SNMP for network monitoring, firmware updates, Nagios/Zabbix plug‑ins, Syslog data logging, and HTTP REST API (JSON). The E‑MNG‑SH management software provides centralized configuration for multiple units. An Android app enables remote monitoring on the go.

Advanced Application Examples

In a server room, the system prevents failures through early temperature alerts (e.g., at 30 °C). At a POP site, it detects water ingress and sends Smart Alerts to prevent damage. At a hosting facility, it combines sensors with IP cameras for visual monitoring. An MTBF of 600,000 hours and RoHS compliance guarantee longevity and sustainability. Users report up to 30 % lower maintenance costs. With sensor ranges up to 500 ft, it supports compliance through comprehensive data logging and secure REST API integration.

The ENVIROMUX® Micro is your reliable, cost‑effective solution for secure environmental monitoring.
