Connecting the IP sensor to the monitoring system

The airflow sensor measures and monitors the airflow velocity generated by ventilation, air conditioning, and fan systems. This sensor can precisely measure air velocity in the range of 0–3 m/s.

This airflow sensor is compatible with all current monitoring systems from the manufacturer Didactum.

Fig.: Here you can see an example of the setup of the airflow sensor for measuring and monitoring air velocity.

Instructions for IP temperature sensor for temperature measurement

Connect the sensor unit to the airflow measurement unit using the included connector. Then connect the sensor unit to the included RJ11/RJ12 telephone cable.

Simply plug the other end of the RJ11/RJ12 patch cable into a free sensor port on your IP-based monitoring system. The sensor unit and measurement unit will then be automatically detected by the measuring device via auto-identification and displayed in the German-language web interface.

Fig.: See here how the airflow sensor is subsequently calibrated.

Airflow sensor calibration

Each airflow sensor is factory calibrated before delivery. You can recalibrate the sensor if desired. Use a Phillips screwdriver for this.

Fig.: The air velocity sensor mount can be individually cut and bent.

Installation of the sensor in the 19-inch server rack

The SNMP-compatible airflow sensor comes with a mounting bracket. Using wire cutters and pliers (not included), you can cut and bend the bracket to your specific requirements.

Editor's note:

Wear suitable work gloves when cutting the sensor bracket, as sharp edges can be created when using wire cutters.

Fig.: The measuring unit can be mounted to the wall or ceiling using a screw, for example.

Double-sided mounting tape is also included.

Alternatively, you can attach the measuring unit for air velocity measurement directly to the bracket.

There are many options for flexible sensor installation.

Mounting the airflow sensor

The sheet metal thickness of the sensor mounting bracket is approximately 0.8 millimeters. The illustration below shows a few installation options.

Fig.: Here you can see the pinout of the RJ11/R12 patch cable of the sensor unit.

Airflow Sensor

Airflow Sensor
Even small disruptions in airflow—such as blocked vents, defective fans, or improperly set air conditioning—can lead to dangerous temperature increases. The Didactum Airflow Sensor detects such issues early by precisely measuring airflow velocity in the range of 0 to 3 m/s.

Airflow monitoring with the Didactum Airflow Sensor is crucial not only in server rooms but also in other sensitive areas such as production halls, laboratories, power plants, or industrial facilities. In many industrial processes, regulated airflow is required to cool machines, remove pollutants, or ensure air quality.
