New Application Note: Wireless Sensors for Data Centers

 

Server Room Environmental Monitoring

Data centers are designed to operate in a narrow condition range.  Deviations from optimal temperature, humidity, and airflow impact HVAC costs and can ultimately undermine machine operation and useful-life.  

 

LORD MicroStrain's wireless environmental sensor network provides a scalable monitoring technology for reporting and analyzing vital ambient data center conditions in real-time.  As a result, operators can optimize conditioning and reduce operating costs.

Tech Tips and Tricks: Using Pressure Transducers with the V-Link and SG-Link

Andrew Deering, Senior Support Engineer
Andrew Deering,  Technical Support Engineer, Sensing Systems  

 

This month Andrew explains how to use pressure transducers with select wireless sensor nodes.

 

The LORD MicroStrain® V-Link®-LXRS Wireless 7 Channel Analog Input Sensor Node will support pressure transducers on channels 1, 2, 3 and 4 and the SG-Link®-LXRS Wireless 2 Channel Analog Input Sensor Node will support pressure transducers on channel 1. This technical note explains use of a typical pressure transducer with SG-Link-LXRS and Node Commander® software; the V-Link-LXRS mirrors the instruction.
 
 

Paper Presentation at American Helicopter Society

 

 AHS LORD MicroStrain 2013

Rich Ketcham, Senior Electrical Engineer, LORD MicroStrain Sensing Systems, will present a paper at theAmerican Helicopter Society (AHS) International 69th Annual Forum & Technology Display.

 

The presentation will be held Thursday, May 23 at 9 a.m., at the Phoenix Convention Center in Phoenix, Ariz. The topic is entitled "Integration of a Wireless Sensor Data Aggregation System and HUMS."
