Temperature and humidity monitoring for UPS and IT spaces

The SPYEMP is an environmental monitoring probe designed by Uniti Power to work with the UPNETG2 Gigabit network management card. It monitors ambient temperature from 0 to 70°C and humidity from 10 to 90%, and raises alerts through the network management software when readings move outside configured thresholds. It is suited to server rooms, rack cabinets and communications spaces protected by a Uniti Power UPS.

Environmental conditions directly affect UPS batteries, IT equipment and overall system reliability, and excessive heat or humidity can shorten battery life. Monitoring the room alongside the UPS's own power status gives early warning of a developing risk, such as a space overheating, so it can be dealt with before it turns into a fault.

Where the SPYEMP is used

Typical locations are server and comms rooms, rack cabinets, data centres, remote branch offices, edge computing sites and infrastructure areas where conditions are not checked in person every day.

How it works

• Sensing: temperature 0-70°C and humidity 10-90%.
• Thresholds: low and high warning and critical levels can be set for both temperature and humidity in the UPNETG2 web interface, with adjustable hysteresis to avoid repeated alarms.
• Alerts: a warning-level or critical-level alarm is sent when a threshold is reached.
• Logging: sensor readings are logged and can be downloaded, with the logging interval set from the default of 60 seconds up to 3600 seconds.
• Calibration: temperature and humidity offsets can be adjusted for each probe.

Compatibility

The SPYEMP connects to the UPNETG2 Gigabit Network Management Card, which is designed for Uniti Power UPS models with a network card slot, including the Symphony range. Environmental data is also available in WinPower G2, alongside live power status and alarms. If you plan to use the probe with another card, confirm compatibility with Uniti Power technical support.

SPYEMP environmental probe questions answered

What does the SPYEMP measure?
The SPYEMP measures ambient temperature from 0 to 70°C and relative humidity from 10 to 90%.

What do I need to use the SPYEMP?
The SPYEMP works with the UPNETG2 network management card, which displays readings and sends alerts. The UPNETG2 must be fitted to a UPS with a network card slot.

How does the SPYEMP send alerts?
When a SPYEMP reading passes a warning or critical threshold set on the UPNETG2, an alarm is raised and shown in the network management software.

Can I see past temperature and humidity readings?
Yes. SPYEMP readings are logged by the UPNETG2 and the sensor log can be downloaded from the web interface.
