OVERVIEW
Asentria offers a full line of EventSensors to help you monitor the passive and
active equipment at your remote site. EventSensors provide users with additional
I/O to Asentria base units, as well as power, operating environment, and security
accessory devices ranging from basic environmental sensors all the way to
complex products for complete management of critical equipment components.
These accessories are compatible with the inputs and outputs found on Asentria’s
base units.
EventSensors interface to Asentria base units in several ways. You can tell which
method is required for any given sensor by looking at its catalog number. The
catalog number pre x indicates whether the sensor requires an EventSensor port,
a contact closure input, a serial port, etc.

I/O EXPANSION
I/O expansion devices enable an Asentria base unit to have an expanded number
of I/O points to be added outside of the base unit chassis. This can be useful
when a project calls for just slightly more I/O than a base unit can support on-
board, or as a means of engineering an Asentria solution to compensate for some
unforeseen future requirement.
ENVIRONMENT
When combined with their respective external accessories, Asentria base units
have the capabilities to monitor many different environmental factors within a
cabinet or equipment room. Commonly monitored environmental factors include
temperature,  re, air- ow, and presence of water. Left unattended, any of these
conditions can potentially cause catastrophic failure of equipment at a remote site.
AC & DC POWER
When combined with the right set of external power accessories, Asentria base
units have the capability to monitor the full range of power functions within
a cabinet or equipment room. Monitor and control functions include power
availability, power quality, power switching, and power usage. Variables might
either need to be monitored to indicate a problem, or more and more frequently
with the rising cost of energy, may just need to be monitored to determine usage.
SECURITY
When combined with their respective external accessories, Asentria base units
have the capabilities to monitor many different security issues within a cabinet
or equipment room. Commonly handled security issues include door and
motion sensors for detecting unauthorized entry, sirens/strobes to discourage
unauthorized entry, RFID readers for allowing entry of authorized personnel, and
even video surveillance. Unauthorized access can be prevented by use of door
locks and card readers. Finally, fuel tanks can be monitored for fuel level, usage,
and tank lid access.
