Introduction Room Alert 32W
Introduction
What Room Alert 32W Is
Room Alert 32W is the AVTECH Software (AVTECH) solution for ‘Monitoring Real-Time Temperature,
Humidity, Power & More with Logging, Alerting, Automatic Actions & Wireless Sensor Monitoring!’
It is designed specifically to monitor almost 100 digital, switch and low voltage sensors that can be
distributed throughout a room, department or building. Room Alert 32W includes built-in sensors for
digital temperature, digital humidity and power with additional external sensors (in the base package)
for room entry and digital temperature. External ports are built-in for direct connection of 8 digital
sensors, 16 switch sensors,
2 external Relay Switches or Light Towers, 2 internal relay outputs, and 2
0-5VDC analog inputs . Wireless sensor monitoring allows the Room Alert 32W to monitor AVTECH’s
Wireless Sensor Hubs (WiSH) and Wireless Sensor Hub & Powered Relays (WiSPR) via a secure
private protocol. A WiSH Sensor is provided with the Room Alert 32W and includes a built-in digital
temperature sensor, 2 digital sensor ports and 1 switch sensor port. Note that Room Alert 32W is NOT
wireless and attaches directly to the network via Ethernet to provide complete security. It can monitor up
to a total of 15 WiSH and/or WiSPRs.
Room Alert 32W monitors in real-time and allows alert notifications to be sent via email and email-to-
SMS to devices like computers, phones, pagers and PDAs. Users can set up thresholds for temperature
and humidity that are rising or falling and be assured continued operation even during a power outage
with Room Alert 32W’s built-in Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS). Status of internal and attached
sensors for power, flood, smoke, air flow, room entry and more, is viewed in real-time through Room
Alert 32W’s web interface and your favorite web browser.
Room Alert 32W is designed to work easily with AVTECH’s Device ManageR (included) software, which
will significantly enhance the alert notification capabilities to allow notification to individuals, groups,
hierarchies, different people for different sensors/locations, and different people for different times of the
day, etc. With Device ManageR, alert notification methods can be expanded to include email, email-to-
SMS, modem dialout and much more. Additional functionality is available via plugins to shutdown servers,
dial out alert with voice or GSM, and more when issues or events occur across the network.
AVTECH’s Device ManageR software is included FREE and is designed to set up, monitor and manage
unlimited numbers of Room Alert and/or TemPageR units across your network. Device ManageR
allows data logging, advanced alerting, graphing, pings, firmware updating and much more. Because
each Room Alert 32W ID box is SNMP enabled, they can also be easily monitored via SNMP savvy
applications like OpenView, Tivoli, Unicenter, PageR Enterprise, Big Brother, What’s Up Gold, Nagios
and others.
Room Alert 32W is a member of AVTECH’s Room Alert product line. There are several powerful Room
Alert models designed to monitor IT environmental conditions in any type or size computer room, data center
or other facility. All Room Alert models come with a license to run AVTECH’s Device ManageR software.
