Probe Placement
Temperature and Humidity Reading: (P-TA and P-TAH)
Place the probe between 1-3 inches from the device so that heat will flow directly towards the
sensor. Probes can be directly mounted to a chassis using double sided tape or Velcro.
For Airflow Read
Place the probe between 1-3 inches from the device so airflow will flow perpendicular to each
sensor tip.
For Rack Mounting:
AFI provides an optional rack mount kit P-RM. Sensor probes plug directly into a goose head
mount providing actual positioning. The P-RM mounts directly to most racks taking up a 1RU
space.
Connecting Environmental Sensing Probes:
Sensor probes are connected to Commander using a standard USB to mini USB cable. When
using the R-RM the Commander probe is directly connected to the mount. The cable is connected
to the rear of the mounting arm. In both cases the maximum distance is 25 feet or 7.6 meters.
In order to comply with FCC radiation requirements, the ferrite clamp
provided with the USB cable must be positioned approximately 2 inches
from the side connected directly to Commander.
Probes can be inserted and removed while Commander is powered on. If an email address has
been programmed in the Global Settings an email alert will be sent.
