Monitors keep track of rack "health"
Rittal reckons its latest generation of monitoring technology, the CMC Top Concept, makes rack security individual, simple and cost effective.
CMC Top Concept records physical parameters via sensors, transferring the data to a central monitoring station and if required, the operational and environmental data to a central console.
By monitoring central functions within the power control unit a safe power supply is also taken into account as a security concept.
Rittal's innovative locking systems offer extensive functionality, from simply entering a PIN at the lock, to the very latest smart card, technology to electronically controlling the opening of the enclosure via the network.
In addition, a data archive is created recording the time and identity of the most recent access to the enclosure.
The new Rittal transponder solution is especially practical for applications that require frequent access to the enclosures.
Data are exchanged without physical contact via radio frequency between the handle system and a transponder transmitter worn by the authorised person, resulting in the release of the locking.
The Rittal transponder solution requires no PIN or swiping of code card making access to the enclosure quick and easy. Request a free brochure from Rittal ...
