What does this sensor measure?
It monitors both ambient temperature and relative humidity, providing local visual readouts via the built-in display. This makes it suitable for monitoring environmental conditions around IT and network equipment.
Where is it typically used?
It is commonly used in data centres, comms rooms, and network closets to monitor conditions near racks, cabinets, or critical equipment hot spots.
Does it have a display, and what is it used for?
Yes. The integrated display provides on-the-spot visual reporting of temperature levels (and associated environmental readings), helping staff quickly verify local conditions without logging into a separate interface.
How does it connect to a monitoring system?
It is an A-Link sensor designed to connect to compatible NetBotz monitoring appliances. The sensor itself is not a standalone network device.
Is it compatible with any monitoring device?
No. It is intended for use with select NetBotz appliances that support A-Link sensors. If you share the exact NetBotz model, compatibility can be confirmed against A-Link sensor support.
Can it be mounted in a rack?
It is not rack-mountable and is rated as 0U. It is typically positioned using the supplied mounting pads on a cabinet wall, door, or other suitable surface near the area being monitored.
What comes in the box?
The unit is supplied with an installation guide and mounting pads.
What are the operating environmental limits?
It is designed to operate from 0°C to 45°C with relative humidity from 0% to 95% (non-condensing), and up to 10,000 ft operating altitude.
What are the storage environmental limits?
It can be stored from -40°C to 65°C with relative humidity from 0% to 95% (non-condensing), and up to 50,000 ft (15,240 m) storage altitude.
What are the physical dimensions and colour?
The sensor is black and measures approximately 9.9 cm (H) x 4.3 cm (W) x 2.8 cm (D). Net weight is about 0.08 kg.
What compliance standards does it meet?
It is certified/declared to common EMC standards including EN 55022 Class A, EN 55024, FCC Part 15 Class A, ICES-003, and includes CE and VCCI compliance markings (as specified in product documentation for AP9520TH).
Is it suitable for high-humidity environments?
It is specified for environments up to 95% relative humidity (non-condensing). For best results, place it where air flow represents the area you want to monitor and avoid direct exposure to condensation.
