IT Closet Monitoring System
Falcon F200 – Compact Monitoring for Critical Small Spaces
The Falcon F200 is a compact, cost-effective monitoring system designed to deliver essential protection for smaller critical environments. Despite its small form factor, it offers the core capabilities needed to safeguard business operations.
Perfect for IT closets, IDF (Intermediate Distribution Frame), and MDF (Main Distribution Frame) locations, the Falcon F200 helps prevent downtime by monitoring the most common environmental risks.
This unit covers all the essentials: temperature and humidity monitoring, equipment alarm inputs, and water leak detection—providing real-time awareness to help you respond before issues become costly problems.
Whether you’re securing a single telecom closet or multiple remote sites, the Falcon F200 delivers dependable monitoring in a streamlined, easy-to-deploy solution!
Environmental Monitoring for Server Rooms and IT Closets
The Falcon F200 hosts its own built-in web interface, allowing users to easily view system status and configure settings from any browser. It supports plug-and-play temperature and temperature/humidity sensors for quick installation and setup.
Dry-contact inputs allow for monitoring remote equipment alarms, while a dedicated input supports water leak detection using RLE’s SeaHawk leak detection cables.
For alarm notifications, the F200 offers email alerts and a relay output for activating external devices. It also supports SNMP and Modbus TCP/IP protocols, enabling integration with third-party monitoring platforms and building management systems.
User-Friendly Interface for Configuration and Real-Time Data
Using standard browsers for viewing data from the F200 inputs.
Configure the F200 from the password-protected web interface.
Mobile-friendly layout for an easy view of sensor inputs and alarms.
No additional software is required for the configuration of the device.
