Shock and Vibration Sensor ENVIROMUX-VSSBD

ENVIROMUX-VSSBD Vibration Sensor – Early Detection of Impact and Tampering in Server Rooms

In sensitive IT environments such as data centers or technical facilities, a single impact or vibration can have serious consequences – whether caused by sabotage, break-in, or accidental collisions. The ENVIROMUX-VSSBD vibration sensor from NTI is designed specifically to identify such threats instantly and reliably. 

Mounted on walls, floors, rack enclosures, or doors, it detects vibrations and impacts directly on the surface, with a precise trigger time of 3.1 to 4.1 seconds. This gives your ENVIROMUX monitoring system enough time to trigger alarms, activate cameras, or alert security personnel before damage occurs. Whether an intruder tries to pry open a rack, a forklift drives too close, or an employee accidentally bumps into a cabinet – the ENVIROMUX-VSSBD registers it in real time and safeguards your critical infrastructure.

The operating principle is technically sophisticated yet simple to use:

The sensor uses a highly sensitive 2-wire interface with screw terminals that integrates seamlessly into existing ENVIROMUX systems. It is powered directly via the included 5V/1A power supply and requires no additional configuration. When vibration exceeds the set threshold, the sensor sends a clear digital signal to your monitoring system. 

Imagine someone attempting to force open a rack door at night: the vibration sensor detects the repeated impacts, triggers an alarm within 3–4 seconds, and simultaneously activates a surveillance camera. The security team receives an SMS alert, authorities are notified – and the intruder is stopped. Thanks to its robust housing and wide operating temperature range from 0°C to 60°C (storage: –30°C to 60°C), the ENVIROMUX-VSSBD is ideal for continuous use in server rooms, technical cabinets, or even outdoor enclosures. With a humidity tolerance of 17% to 90% (non-condensing), it also performs reliably in humid environments.

What makes this vibration sensor especially valuable is its versatility and ease of installation. The package includes not only the sensor and power supply but also a durable mounting bracket that allows flexible installation on walls, floors, or cabinets. Its compact dimensions – without bracket 51 × 64 × 33 mm, with bracket 95 × 64 × 34 mm – allow discreet integration even in densely equipped racks. 

Whether you monitor a small network cabinet with an ENVIROMUX-MINI-LXO or a large-scale data center using an E-1W system, the ENVIROMUX-VSSBD fits perfectly. It is compatible with a wide range of NTI monitoring systems, including ENVIROMUX-1W, MICRO-TRH, MINI-LXO, and Remote Power Reboot Switches such as PWR-RMT-RBT-C13. With CE and RoHS certifications, it meets international environmental and safety standards. Customers value its maintenance-free operation, fast response time, and cost-effective prevention of damage through sabotage or accidents.

Technical Highlights

• Trigger time 3.1–4.1 seconds: Fast yet reliable response – prevents false alarms caused by ordinary movement.
• 2-wire interface: Simple connection via screw terminals – compatible with all ENVIROMUX systems.
• Power adapter included: 5V/1A adapter supplied – ready to use, no extra power source required.
• Mounting bracket included: Flexible installation on walls, floors, doors, or racks – quick setup within minutes.
• Compact size: Without bracket 51 × 64 × 33 mm, with bracket 95 × 64 × 34 mm – fits virtually anywhere.
• Wide temperature range: Operation 0°C to 60°C, storage –30°C to 60°C – optimized for server rooms and equipment enclosures.
• Humidity tolerance 17–90%: Non‑condensing – suitable for humid environments.
• Certifications: CE, RoHS – environmentally friendly and compliant with international safety standards.

Practical Application Examples

The ENVIROMUX-VSSBD is used wherever physical security and tamper protection are essential. Typical use cases include:

• Server room protection: Mounted on rack doors. Example: If an intruder attempts to open the rack, the sensor triggers an alarm before the lock breaks.
• Anti‑tampering in co‑location facilities: Mounted on customer cabinets. Example: Any manipulation attempt is detected and reported instantly to both customer and security, maintaining trust.
• Warehouses and outdoor enclosures: Mounted on outer walls. Example: If a vehicle collides with the container, the sensor records the impact, enabling quick damage response.
• Critical infrastructure: Installed in power plants or telecom hubs. Example: Vibrations from nearby construction are monitored, preventing outages from equipment damage.
• Remote sites: Used with PWR-RMT-RBT-C13. Example: Upon detecting vibration, the system automatically secures or restarts the power supply for added safety.

Compatibility

The vibration sensor is fully compatible with:

• ENVIROMUX-1W / 1WP
• ENVIROMUX-MICRO-TRH / TRHP
• ENVIROMUX-MINI-LXO
• PWR-RMT-RBT-C13 (Remote Power Reboot Switch)

Easy integration via digital inputs – no additional software required.
