Vertiv™ Geist™ Power Failure Sensor

The power failure sensor provides real-time notifications of power outages. It is commonly used to monitor utility, UPS, and 3-phase power. The PFS connects to an analog input port and comes complete with its own power adapter that plugs directly into the power source being monitored. Status LEDs provide immediate indications of system state.

0-5V power failure sensor to monitor the presence of utility power. Various regional power supply options available. Compatible with Vertiv™ Geist™ rPDUs and Environmental Monitors.

Power failure sensor is an analog sensor that enables a Watchdog climate monitor to detect line voltage and send an alert through email or SNMP trap if power is lost. This provides time to either restore power or properly shutdown the system before backup power is fully utilized.
