Room Alert Relay Offers Immediate Action In Remote Locations
Warren, RI - AVTECH Software (AVTECH) has released the Room Alert Relay, an add-on component for their Room Alert 4E/ER environment monitors, which allows low voltage devices to be turned on or off automatically based on changing environmental conditions, remotely over the network. The Relay is designed to connect directly into the Light Tower Connection Port on the back of any Room Alert 4E ID Box.
The new Room Alert Relay includes four (4) low voltage outputs with visible status lights. The first three (3) outputs are for low voltage devices and can be individually controlled and activated directly from the Room Alert web interface or in response to an alarm condition (i.e. changing environment status). The fourth output is designed to be used as a general alarm output and will be activated whenever any of the first three (3) relay outputs are activated. This can be used to report to a primary control or fire panel. Each relay output supports a signal or power load up to 0.3A at 125VAC or 1A at 24DC.
The Relay is perfect for users looking to take immediate action when an issue or event occurs in a remote location. In addition to being able to turn on/off almost any low voltage device, the Relay can be used to trigger automatic responses such as enabling an auto dialer, starting a sump pump, turning on/off a backup air conditioner, starting the defrost cycle on a freezer, change the status on building alarm panels and more.
Monitoring the physical environment where expensive equipment is housed and being able to take automatic actions to turn on/off various devices that help maintain proper working conditions, is a critical part of ‘Disaster Prevention’ for professional IT & facilities managers everywhere. Extreme environmental changes due to failed heating or cooling equipment and even seasonal weather changes can damage expensive hardware, threaten uptime, block network access, destroy data and more. Thankfully, there are easy, inexpensive and proven solutions available from AVTECH to help prevent these physical environmental disasters. Knowing immediately if and when a problem occurs to threaten a facility is the most important part of preventing a major disaster.
