Server Room Monitor
Remote Equipment Monitoring
The Falcon FMS is designed for remote equipment monitoring and environmental conditions for mission-critical facilities.
Ideal for monitoring server rooms and data center applications.
This solid-state unit can provide notification for people on-premise or remote from the facility.
All-solid-state hardware means no moving parts, so the unit does not require any scheduled maintenance.
If a network was to go down, this Facility Monitoring System can drive visual and audible alerts to people on-site.
For personnel working remotely, email notification and SNMP traps can be initiated for external notification.

Data Center Monitoring Made Easy
The Falcon FMS is a rack-mount style unit able to monitor up to 104 inputs and uses one IP Address.
Relay outputs to trigger external alerts or control other devices when alerts are received.
Available in a 1U or 2U chassis depending on the number of wired inputs desired.
Option card EXP-A is designed for universal inputs with relay outputs.
If needing all digital inputs for equipment alarms, the EXP-C option card accepts Normally Open or Normally Closed dry contacts.
Open protocols for smart field equipment Integration, using Modbus, BACnet, or SNMP data.
Hosted web interface for viewing and system configuration.
Up to eight unique usernames and passwords.
Organize wired inputs to specific categories.
Ten URL links for web camera or other links.

Notification For Alerts
The Falcon FMS has you covered to let you know when something is wrong. Set it, and forget it until needed.
By hosting its own web interface, you can access it via a desktop, tablet, or mobile device.
Email alerts to be sent to distribution emails or specific people needing to know when to react.
SNMP Traps for Network Management Systems notification.
Trigger local alerts to Audible and Visual devices, along with remote annunciator panels and security panels.
System Integration
All the remote equipment data read into the Falcon FMS, can be sent back out for system integration to other platforms.
This allows facilities to use the system as a standalone unit when starting off.
When moving to a larger platform, shut off the notification from the FMS, and Integrate all the data points into an upstream system.
The Falcon FMS uses Modbus, BACnet, and SNMP open protocols. This allows integration into BAS/BMS, EPMS, and DCiM platforms.
This unit can be used for a wide array of applications. Please feel free to contact us if you would like to know more.
