Energy Box with Real-Time Power Monitoring - Aten I-CASE EC-1000

The EC1000 Energy Box is the latest evolution of NRGence™, ATEN's intelligent energy solutions. It is an intelligent and economical solution for monitoring PDU Energy and ensuring safe and effective energy saving management. It features four Energy Sensor ports to connect PDU Energy modules and four ports for external environmental sensors to monitor environmental conditions. Each environmental sensor is capable of providing measurements on temperature, humidity, and differential pressure from different areas of the server room, thus offering a wide range of monitoring and protection.

I-CASE EC-1000 allows you to monitor environmental and power data and display them on the rack or remotely, for easier viewing and maintenance. The Energy Box is a standalone unit with Over IP monitoring controlled by web interface or ATEN eco Sensors software. It offers real-time status, system log, alarm thresholds, and event notifications. The EC1000 records environmental and power conditions based on customizable minimum/maximum thresholds for electric current, temperature, humidity, and differential pressure.

Remote monitoring offers secure access with 128-bit SSL encryption and customizable account policies for user management. Remote authentication supports RADIUS and additional management interfaces such as HTTP, HTTPS, and SNMP v1 & v2 & v3 (read, write, trap). It is possible to monitor event notifications via Syslog/SMTP/SNMP trap and audible alarms for local and remote real-time alerts.

When used together with ATEN PDU Energy and eco Sensors management software, the EC1000 allows you to conveniently add management features to make the server room more ecological quickly and economically.



Operation

• Space-saving design for 1U rack mounting with both front and rear mounting
  
  
• 4 RJ-45 Energy Sensor ports to monitor the current of four PDU Energy (from 0 to 32A per port)
  
  
• 4 RJ-11 ports for environmental sensors to monitor temperature, humidity, and differential pressure*
  
  
• Maximum monitorable amperage 32A from 100V to 240V (Energy Box)
