This new innovative ‘out of box’ CL-Amp kit is a simple, easy to install, cost effective solution, specifically designed for single cabinet installations.

Ideal for legacy and retrofit data centres, the ‘out of box’ CL-Amp solution provides ‘non-invasive’, real-time current monitoring functionality to typical non-intelligent data centre power supply feeds rated up to 32A and can be used to bring monitoring functionality to non-intelligent power strips.

Supplied, in addition to the ‘non-invasive’ CL-Amp monitoring technology, is both the ability to monitor environmental temperature/humidity and the PowerHawk2, a device which provides both local and remote monitoring and supports up to two CL-Amps and two analogue sensors, any combination of which can be temperature or humidity.

The PowerHawk2,as an SNMP agent optimised for rack management, polls the CL-Amp and sensors at configurable intervals and captures the associated current and temperature/humidity data readings.

A simple client software application, known as Env-U, included as part of the ‘out of box’ solution, then polls the PowerHawk2, capturing the data to provide both a live and historical view of the parameters monitored, in addition to providing simple
trending information and enabling the basic creation of management reports.
